    Saddle up #madewithlove
    LaNitria T.

    Amazing service, great conversation, and lots of guidance on drink options. It's not a large space, but it's cozy and what they lack in space they make up in character. It was dark inside, but I appreciated the curtains blocking out that Texas sun and made the space even more cool and comfortable. The restrooms clean and fragrant and it just felt like being welcomed into their home. I could go on about the afternoon, just know I can't wait to return.

    Very helpful barkeeper. Love the dark, speakeasy vibe. The drinks are freaking amazing. The "Last Night in Paris," is simply the best cocktail I have ever had. Just absolutely delicious. I'm going to start recommending the Proper to friends visiting from out of town. The restaurant next door is really good too, so they make a perfect one-two.

    Owner met us as we came in and told us a bit about his bar I had the Mickey Finn and my wife had Tokai Jinn Sour Mine was a well balanced drink with Haymans Absinthe and vermouth Very cool atmosphere. Highly recommend this place

    Mocktail (Monopoly Money) VERY GOOD!!

    Grabbed drinks with my girls and had a great time. As someone who doesn't drink, I was very appreciative to have the "full experience" thanks to their non-alcoholic menu with great options! I will be back for sure!

    This place is awesome- very decorated, low lighting, cute tiny tables, made to look very "hole in the wall". It was packed so it did take a while to get out first order placed, but after that the drinks came by quickly. They had a ton of drinks to pick from- plenty of variety. The only downside- the drinks weren't actually that great- either only talented like alcohol, or didn't taste like what we asked for. Not my favorite bar, but if my friends wanted to go back i would be up for it!

    We have come to Proper for years and they never disappoint. They serve bites and have a great happy hour. Their outside area is small but accommodating. The inside is like you stepped back into the prohibition era with dark wood, velvet but big comfy bar stools. It's very quant to say the least. Their menu changes with seasons so the QR code posted was spring 2023. Cheers!!

    Perfect craft cocktail bar for a date or with a small group of friends. It has a very intimate and cozy vibe. Ambiance 10/10 their holiday decorations are amazing. Cocktails/food 10/10: Jeremy and julia do a really good job behind the bar. If you dont know what to order they will always get you something that you will like. Service: friendly and knowledgeable staff. Parking: easy to find on the street and frwe

    Summer of cocktails

    This hidden gem on Magnolia St. crafts delicious cocktails, drinks, and food! Their drink menu has an endless selection of all your favorite drinks including margaritas and even a cool cocktail called a Key West State of Mind. Service is top notch with some of the friendliest staff I have ever encountered here in Fort Worth . A small intimate setting, perfect for a date night or a meetup with some good friends.

    Ask for the mexican old fashion and bring your puppy to the patio. It's the perfect afternoon!

    If you want to have an awesome drink, come To The Proper and Jeremy is the best, the drinks are super good. Bring friends and chill .

    This is my favorite bar in Fort Worth. If you're looking for a small chic bar to just sit back relax and enjoy handcrafted cocktails this is a must try. Great service, nostalgic, atmosphere, and a wide variety of made to order options. Space is limited inside but there is a great outdoor area.

As the name might suggest, this places focuses on cocktails throughout the world. Nonetheless, as the opportunity presented itself, we have usually opted happy hour. The first time I came here, I asked for a drink that was recommended. The bartender made a wonderful espresso martini. Despite what I mentioned, this was not on the happy hour menu. It was still a great drink nonetheless. I should have clarified from my end that I was looking for a happy hour drink. Good level of espresso liqueur with smooth vodka. Also, simple presentation with the coffee beans on top. The second time I came here it was also for happy hour. This time, I got the Bee's Knees. This was refreshing and sweet. The harshness of the gin did come through at times but at a tolerable amount that wasn't overwhelming. I liked the visuals of the dehydrated lemon slice. In both visits, we were regularly checked on by staff seeing if we had anything else to order, to gets dishes/glasses out of the way, refill water, etc. Always so kind! I will also note that the restrooms are incredibly clean and well-stocked. Although I've only come to Atlas for happy hour, I would certainly love to come back some day later in the evening because I've heard the vibe and atmosphere is especially more lively during that time.

The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.

For most others, there's plenty of accessible parking and it's kinda tucked away in it's own lot. The burger offered was the "Our Taphouse" - a dry ranch seasoned beef patty with shredded cheese and topped with carmelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and bacon jam. The burger was definitely good. It's messy since there are some more toppings prone to falling out. I will say that in terms of taste, it was a bit too sweet for my preference. I think it was the combination of carmelized onions and bacon jam that made it too much for me that it overwhelmed the savoriness that I'd prefer to be the main flavor with the burger. This time I didn't dine in personally but I will say that the place looks like it has a nice vibe to it, especially outside. It looks like there's plenty of seating with an area for musicians to perform. I'm looking forward to coming back one day and maybe watching a game and getting a drink.
