It's a dive so expect less Or have none... Rude staff caters to local regulars instead of welcoming new patrons. Management birddogs guests, especially at the restrooms...and they will call nearby establishments when you leave if they didn't care for your group. Definitely not a hospitality concerned business And they will probably take this review as a compliment. Save your $ and effort. FTW has a wealth of inspiring and enjoyable establishments that are welcoming. Try the Showdown! read more

No food sold here, just drinks. You don't come here to have a sit down fancy dinner & dance. The place is old & dingy, inside & out, & you can smell old cigarette likely from the old walls & carpet. However, people (21+) come here to hang out, sing, & drink, & this place serves its purpose. There's no drink menu, but prices are not bad for cocktails $5.99-$7.99. They did taste somewhat watered down. The bartenders were pretty efficient & responsive. $5 cover charge for karaoke was automatically charged when you open your tab. Free karaoke on Wednesday. This is why it's 4 stars - the 3 karaoke screens, space, sound quality, & mics. Ppl come here to sing and have fun & they do!! The DJ is very efficient & responsive to song requests. People kept coming even after midnight & everyone was just having fun! After a while, you don't notice the old cigarette smell anymore... lol. I have never seen so many ppl of all ages who actually came to sing & most were pretty good at it! We heard songs from almost all genres. The "spontaneous" decor, with no artistic values, is actually funny. So, it was absolutely worth what we went there for! read more

Rudest bartenders ever, also they aren't very nice to look at either. Bouncer is a peice of work too. The worst I've ever been treated at a bar period!! read more

Waited outside at least 30 min with our group. Door man finally started letting us in and cut my boyfriend and I off from our group and wouldn't let us in. Told us "to have patience" when we said we were all together. We went ahead and left. Heard this place was a good time but definitely won't be back after that read more

I was lucky enough to spend some time at "Sarah's Place" in Fort Worth, TX. in May 2024. I have never enjoyed meeting so many really genuinely nice people! They had a Prom fundraiser for a terminally ill former employee and it was so much fun! The owners are such warm and gracious ladies! I will make Sarah's Place a must go to spot every tear when I travel to Fort Worth to visit. I returned in July and had a wonderful time again. The drinks are very well made. I highly recommend this place! Jennifer McKinney read more

First time there was outstanding. Everyone laid back. Met Sarah the owner. Great jukebox for a lowkey evening. Also, I woke up without black lung from cigarette smoke. Lighting great, Service outstanding. Great place if you want to chill and relax. Safe as well. read more

Honestly this place is like so fun! If you live kareoke, this is your spot. Drink are so strong too and cheap! Aside from it smelling like an ashtray, it's so fun! Just be prepared to wash your hair. Service is ok I guess. I mean it's a bar, takes forever anywhere to get drinks. read more

Fun filled atmosphere... I thoroughly enjoyed myself the first time I came here about a year ago and I've been back several times and I always have a wonderful time and meet very interesting and entertaining people. Great place to hang out and bring friends and make friends. I will definitely be coming back highly recommend it check it out. read more

This bar was genuinely one of the scariest bars I've been too. The staff and clientele were unwelcoming and there was no hint of diversity. After watching someone butcher love shack during karaoke we decided to leave. If you are a person of color, queer, or a young person who likes music this place isn't for you. read more

Mandy was so awesome!! Darrel also knows what he's doing! Karaoke was amazing. They treated us so good. Absolutely loved this place :) will definitely be returning. Super great place!!! read more

Went for the first time for husband's birthday. It is VERY small and gets really crowded so go early if you want somewhere to sit. Karaoke is good which is why we went. Bartenders are outstanding. They keep everything organized and move orders quickly. If we are back in the neighborhood we would stop again. read more

Service was fantastic, owner and staff very friendly. It was my first time there, Ms. Sarah introduced herself and bought me a beer. Went to meet a client, had a nice time. read more

My favorite spot for karaoke! Friendly staff, affordable drinks and just overall a fun place to mingle with all walks of life. The owner is also very cool! It gets pretty packed on Saturdays but overall, a great little dive. read more

Not the friendliest crowd, not the most welcoming bartenders, not the most diverse, & ESP not the most friendliest Karaoke Dj as stated on most of the reviews. My friends requested to sing & got denied. I walked up there requested to sing a country song and he agreed so idk kinda questionable. We made the most of by having fun anyway. Only thing great about the drinks are cheap! ‍ read more

The guy controlling the karaoke was an absolute jerk! We put our song and name in early and he played the same people again and again! He even played people that wouldn't even finish their songs time and time again. Also people who entered the bar after us got called on whereas we were never called up. The gate keeper needs to get canned Bc he's not fair and we paid for a lot of alcohol to get to sing. Absolute a$$hole! Don't go here! And it wasn't my imagination Bc we mocked my band choice and when after a long time I asked when we were going to sing and he said we we were next! And we weren't! What a horrible time! read more

Very average place. Parking is rough but we had fun. As a music professional, I usually cringe at karaoke venues but I'm learning to be more tolerant! Lol read more

The smokiest, dingiest yet friendliest bar I've been too in my short time of hanging out around Camp Bowie. Sarah's Place is one of those type places where you don't know it exist unless you live around the area or know somebody about it. It's right next to a convenience/gas store and have a very plain Jane sign. Would definitely come back but I'm not too sure about the smoking part with all the bars here in Funky Town. You bet you'll have a good time, good buzz and chest pain after a night of hanging out here. read more

Sarah's Place - Crown and Coke I t his smokey bar. - Dive Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This is the perfect spot to come sing your heart out to a rather encouraging crowd while drinking cheap, strong drinks. The outside is hilarious -- it seems like you are walking into some kind of sketchy night club in the parking lot of a gas station. But the inside is mostly just divey and smokey, with lots of tables and a long bar full of seating and people singing some pretty rad tunes. My 5-star rating does not mean it is the best karaoke bar I have ever been to, but it is certainly the most bad-A one in Fort Worth. They have a really big selection of music, the KJ (karaoke jockey) is not a jerk (so rare!) and people are there to put on a show. Also, it is packed on a Wednesday night, which I think is uncommon in this city. It is probably best to get there early or you will wind up waiting 45 min - 1hr to sing. Also, it is pretty smokey in there....but where is it not? read more

There's no getting around it, this bar is just great! It's a Fort Worth institution and the last of a dying breed of Funkytown dives! And to those who say it's too smokey, I say who cares, that's part of its allure! Your grandfather worked in a steel mill 80 hours a week, raised a family, got mesothelioma and still had time to kick some ass on the weekends. Deal with it or stay home, you big baby. I'm a non-smoker and not the least bit bothered by it. All and all, it's a fun-loving, diverse crowd. Everybody is very cool and I highly recommend it. Karaoke Night is great for people watching and all around hilarity. I like this place so much I really don't want too many people going there so just pretend I didn't write this. read more

Sarah, the owner is a very pleasant women. All the customers are friendly and will always move over to accommodate other patrons. Not at all what I expected having looked at the small store front. It may take a minute to adjust to the soft light in the room. Drinks are fairly priced, although they serve no food. read more

The guy working the karaoke is an absolute jerk. Was so rude to me and all of my friends for just trying to request a song. Then would only let the same people sing over and over and made time for HIMSELF to sing a song. Like really? So many better karaoke bars in FW. Why would you want to return to one with the rudest karaoke DJ? Wont be going back. read more

Up in Fort Worth for a few days and found this via Yelp! So much fun! If you're in town on a Saturday night and have no idea what to do for fun - head over to Sarah's Place for their weekly karaoke. Talent scouts would have plenty of people to pick from because most of the regulars are that good! Get there early - by 930pm it's standing room only! read more

A drunk man became irate and aggressive to my fiancé and friends last night. Threatening to harm us, all stemming from lack of space in a very crowded bar. Had he of asked my fiancé to scoot down rather than yell profanities at her we would of gladly moved. My biggest concern however is not this mans behavior rather the way the issue was addressed. A staff member came over with a drink in hand and asked that our group move to the other side of the bar. He asked what had occurred and we explained. He clearly did not care what we had to say and tried to insinuate maybe we were the problem. He was very unprofessional and rude. We will not be back based on his attitude towards us or how they handled the situation. read more

I have always loved Sarah's Place until I met Sarah &/or the owner. She was an extremely unpleasant woman to say the least. I'll come back, I'll just have to call and see if she's boozin at the bar before I swing by. read more

Let's rate this accordingly people! For a dive bar it is pretty Frickin awesome!! Great priced strong drinks, friendly bartenders, and clean restrooms!! Yes, it is a bit smokey but key word, DIVEY!! Our bartender was personable and attentive. He gave us navigation pointers and chit chatted for a bit while still tending to his other patrons!! (I'm all about customer service ) Also, did I mention that almost half of the bar greeted us when we walked in; talk about feeling like we were on Cheers!! I'd say they gave us a pretty warm welcome and a great start to our Monday. We're sure to be back! read more

It's a simple karaoke bar. They were a handful of people when i arrived at 10 on a Monday night... But the room quickly filled up as the night grew. Don't smoke? You will. Don't even have to pay for it! I went with a several friends, some that don't smoke and they thought it was fascinating that you could see the smog. They have a pretty good and modern selection of songs. Some I was pleasantly surprised by. They have some petty serious singers there... I butchered a few songs and didn't get booed off, so I'm content. Fun crowd. They also have a functional shuffleboard in the back. read more

Don't let the diminutive size or the adjacent gas station fool you, this is a prime spot for karaoke on Saturday nights. I'll start by offering a chronological view of the goings-on of the night. We got there at 10 p.m. and there was already a medium sized crowd, relative to the size of the venue, which feels like an over sized living room with low comfortable ceilings. Our initial song requests came around almost as fast as getting our first drinks, which is awesome because drinking and singing have historically maintained a tight relationship. The enthusiasm of the audience was evidenced by almost rapturous applause after and sometimes during each song. It's great to sing to strangers and feel like you're 'at home.' The song choices were very eclectic, ranging from LL Cool J's "I'm Bad" to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and everything in between, while the room followed along without missing a beat. By about midnight your song requests have started coming around slower and sign-ups already full, newcomers are finding seats to be valuable commodities and the two bartenders who worked dutifully all night to provide the necessary ingredient to a fun night are being taxed to say the least. Of course slipping a cool twenty dollars to the DJ will get you next spot on the list of singers but that's par for the course and if you're not having a blast singing along with mostly good singers and mostly fitting song selections, you've taken a wrong turn somewhere. One trend I noticed was that there were two "special occasions" happening that night aside from karaoke. One was a bachelorette party of about eight that sang and even came to the front to dance to a few tunes out of sheer unabashed excitement. The other was a large group of well dressed young folks that showed around midnight after the annual Van Cliburn Gala let out. It speaks to a venue's attractiveness both as a main event and as an "after party" worthy establishment that such a diverse crowd enjoyed each others' company. I can't yet attest to another reviewer's pinning of the "best of Ft. Worth" karaoke title as my usual stomping grounds is Arlington, and am loyal to the little cave that could. However i'd be hard pressed to imagine it getting any better short of having a live band to back up my drunken crooning. TLDR; - Arrive early and sing several times - Drinks are decently priced(three Jonny Walker Black and Cokes set me back $18). - Good crowd, mix of regulars and newcomers. - Big list of songs and fairly recent ones included. - "Cozy"atmosphere and vibe read more

Wasn't sure about Sarah's place, a little hesitant to go in but so glad I did. Not the most inviting place on the outside but once inside you won't be disappointed. Friendly bartender, amazing drink prices and strong drinks. A small but homey bar. Loved the prices. read more

Great dive, with strong drinks. No windows to distract you with reminders of the outside world. This is a place where business is done and that business is getting hammered. All the locals were great as well, sometimes you get a dive bar that feels like a clubhouse that's not excepting new members. Not here though, they make you feel like a regular right from the start. read more

I was first brought to Sarah's Place back in 2007. It hasn't changed much. It's still WAY too smoky, with little ventilation AND the karaoke DJ still uses CD's for the music selection. While he did have a lot of great selection, there was no recent songs. The DJ also has his favorites. I get that there are regulars that go there every night, but come on. They sing the same songs every time. What is wrong with letting some new faces get into the mix, with waiting an hour or more to sing a song. The drinks are cheap and good! read more

Best local dive bar ! Jordan who works there is amazing , he makes it safe , fun , and comfortable ! Always have an amazing time with great service !!!! My favorite bar in Fort Worth ! read more

I came in here about a month ago and was asked to move my car twice (NO handicap parking by the way) So I left of my own volition. I thought I'd give it another chance. I walked in with my SERVICE DOG and walked to the bar and said"HI how's everybody" And was greeted by Sarah who asked me if I drove a Black Mercedes to which I replied yes. This after a sum total of 15 SECONDS in her bar and she tells me that I'm drunk and I'm not allowed in her bar then she says and I quote "I'll see you next time" NEVER in my life and I'm a 69 year old disabled veteran with a service dog. would I nor ANYONE I know EVER set foot in a place that has NO respect for Veterans let alone DISABLED Vets!!!!! She's lucky I don't report her under the Americans with Disabilities act which carries a HEFTY $$$$$$$$$Fine!!!!!! Suffice it to say, the BEEEEEEATCH will NEVER see me nor my money again and I would hope ALL VETERANS feel and deal the same with her and her Bar!!!!! read more

Come check it out read more

This is the best bar in Fort Worth, TX. Lots of TVs to watch sports. Karaoke nights are a blast. Bartenders are professional mixologists. I would go to Sarah's Place everyday if I could. read more

Pretty sure this is a straight bar and that my wife and I were the only same-sex couple in the place, but all in all, it was cool. I'm from Oklahoma and wanted to go to a bar that reminded me of the hole in the walls back home where you can; get a good drink, some conversation, and listen to some music. Our first time there was pretty fun. We met some regulars that invited us to play shuffleboard and it was actually fun. High fives and laughs were going around. Music is played from a jukebox and costs, there's a convenience store next door for those that want snacks like chips or something. We will go back sometime, but this time take an Uber so we can drink a little more and stay longer. The bartender was friendly and yes, it's smokey but that's what I expected. Security cameras on the parking lot to keep an eye on vehicles. read more

Our first time in Sarah's and we loved it! We went there with friends last night for Halloween and they had a costume contest so everybody was pretty much dressed up. Nice friendly people, great KJ, and good drinks. GF took third in contest...First among all the beautiful young women that were there...and she is 53! ;-) read more

Love DJ Dave! Staff is beyond cool! Always make friends and great memories-this is an oasis of talented vocalists. We flock here.

PERFECT. Quiet with a jukebox playing most of the time, but on weekends and for special events, it gets real full, real fast! Take friends here Saturday night for karaoke, grab a table, order in some dinner and have inexpensive drinks and talk with everyone and anyone. It's close quarters, so once it's packed, everyone gets pretty friendly! Owner is an awesome person, bartenders put up with a lot. Nice place overall! read more

DON'T GO HERE!!!! I was looking for a place to karaoke and have fun on a Wednesday night. Found Sarah's Place and decided to give it a try...BIG MISTAKE!!! The bar staff was friendly but the DJ was a complete jerk! I went alone tonight and since i was singing and driving myself i decided to stick with water. After my first song was done he asked me if i was drinking tonight. To which i politely explained... Then he tells me that THEY REQUIRE PEOPLE TO PURCHASE ALCOHOL OR ELSE THEY CAN'T SING...STUPID!!! But, i went to the bar and asked for a Coor's Light trying to save my night. Bartender informs me that there is a $10 min on cc. I told her i was only buying this to get the DJ off my back and asked if she could just do the one beer. NOPE!!!! ...so if you go karaoke here on a Wednesday night and don't wanna drink...bring cash, bring a friend, buy them a beer, and sing you fucking heart out!!!! FUCK YOU SARAH'S PLACE!!!! read more
