    Lots of fun events here
    Stephanie W.

    The Cicada is a great bar and venue in the S Main neighborhood, with good prices, live music, and they host local neighborhood events regularly. They also have two pool tables. Sometimes they are open for free play! But usually it takes quarters. There's a jukebox and Tuesday nights are karoake. The bartenders are always extremely nice, and I have never had a bad experience. It's a bit of a hidden gem, so don't miss out on checking them out!

    Fantastic spot! The Cicada in Fort Worth nails it with atmosphere - perfect for a show or just grabbing a casual drink. They've got it all: karaoke, billiards, pool, events, food trucks, etc. The alt scene's go-to place. Highly recommended

    2nd stop for me on my venture of the Fort Worth Burger Week. This was a spot that was within…read morewalking distance for me so I made the trek. 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.

    I checked out a new spot close to home that I'd been hearing about -- they've got over 40 kinds of…read morebeer and daily specials. I went on a Wednesday for their $1 wing deal. Unfortunately, the wings were very overcooked, basically burnt. That said, they had a lineup of local comedians performing, which was a fun and unexpected bonus. The atmosphere was super chill and made up for the food -- definitely the kind of place you can hang out and unwind. I'll be going back to try something else off the menu, because the vibe alone is worth another visit.

    Hats off to the Thompson's staff! Big thank you to Gio and Chris, who too care of our VIPs last…read moreweek. The entire staff went out of their way to make our client appreciation party something that will be talked about for years!

    My husband and I came here for the first time last Saturday, and unfortunately, it was a pretty…read moredisappointing experience overall. 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.
