Great decor, nice sound system, and great tasting margaritas! Will definitely be back! Cool bartender!

Down N Out in Fort Worth is my kind of spot. It's a true dive bar--nothing fancy, just a chill place to grab a drink and unwind. The vibe is laid-back, no pressure, and everyone just kind of does their own thing. The bartenders are solid--friendly, and attentive. At this point in life, I appreciate a place that's simple, consistent, and doesn't try too hard, and Down N Out nails that. Easy spot to stop in, have a few drinks, and relax. read more

Very fun, festive vibe! Went here with a bunch of coworkers after work and really enjoyed the laidback vibe. After coming from more crowded bars, this was a welcomed change of pace. We were able to play pool and order drinks from the bar with ease. The drinks were all fairly priced, including their cocktails. I had a Modelo and a couple lemon drops with friends. The lemon drops were definitely not very strong, but tasted fine. We really enjoyed the vibe the most: it has a hometown bar feel but still had some really fun, festive decor for Instagramable pics! read more

Had a lot of fun here! I do not drink so I love that they have non alcoholic beverages! Drinks are really affordable and the atmosphere is amazing. There is a cool hangout spot outside for the smokers and those that wan my fresh air. The inside of the bar is very spacious and the old school decor is nostalgic. We came here for the music bingo night and it was soo fun! We had a great time and the prizes are great! The host kept us cracking up and made sure we had a good time. The only downside was the bathroom. It's a bar bathroom so wasn't expecting a bidet but it's really hard to squeeze in front of the toilet as a woman since it's so tight against the wall. Other than that! Great place and glad I got to experience it! read more

The Down N Out - Non alcoholic beverage choice. There are 2 flavors to choose from. - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This place rules. The bar staff and the dude working the door were so very friendly and on top of their game. We had some guys being weird and all the workers clocked him and had him leave, didn't let them back in and then checked on us throughout the night. Atmosphere is so chill, lots of space, music isn't too loud. Would one hundred percent recommend this place! read more

The Down N Out - Pool table - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We had a good time at this true hole in the wall dive bar. The place is dark and dank as you can get with neon lights as bright and lively as the people that visit this joint. Everyone was nice and the clientele seem to be locals that welcome us outsiders. We went on a Thursday while they had Music Bingo hosted by Ms. Entertainment (who I hear is sadly moving to another state). No food is served but they do have a food truck outside. Definitely no kids allowed at anytime. A dive bar at its finest. read more

Place hits several nice points, it's clean and well-kept. Crowd the Saturday night I was there was basically blue collar young. Only major drawback was they charge more than the listed menu prices, adding on tax and then rounding up. I ordered a Bud draft listed at $3.50 but was charged $4, owner explained the price with tax was $3.80 but they don't deal in change so the price is rounded up to $4. It's only .50 but there should be a close relationship between menu prices and actual prices, the obvious response would be to list the price at $4 and there's no problem. read more

Worst place ever. Wouldn't suggest. The staff is horrible and the place is nasty. . read more

Cool bar, awesome atmosphere!! However, the bathroom/toilet situation is awkward lol. Worth checking out!! :) read more

Finally checked this place out, looking for a spot that had pool tables. They have two and a surprisingly fun drink list for being advertised as a dive bar. The location is right, the menu is right, the service is right. What else do you want? read more

I love this place. The atmosphere has a cool throwback feel, with wood paneling and wall to wall mirrors included. It's a nice dive with a sneaky good cocktail menu. The spicy gimlet is my wife's favorite. The bartender actually starts making it for her as soon as we walk in. Speaking of the bartender, service is solid. Pleasant interaction without being overly familiar. Just right. Lastly, on Sundays, they set up a roller dog station. If you want a drink and a glizzy on a Sunday, this is your spot. Bring a few bucks to throw in the food jar. It's the nice thing to do, but it isn't required or pressured. Obviously, I recommend this spot. read more

Awesome hole in the wall type place! Two pool tables, spacious yet intimate. Sippin' Santa pop up there through December. Very fun drinks to try, would recommend "Holiday on Ice" if you're a coffee enthusiast read more

The Down N Out - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We've stopped by here a couple of times just to grab a drink or two. Love the atmosphere and friendly staff!

Perfect little bar with great hometown vibes. Love the dive bar vibes and the place is clean and tidy. Good mix of hand crafted cocktails and cold beer on tap. Down N Out has a hip crowd, themed parties, a killer jukebox and live djs for special events. 10/10 would definitely visit again. read more

The Down N Out - Tiki drink at Down N Out for the holiday theme! - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Great drinks great service loved the ambiance of the bar and the food was good too great bar

I'd give this place 3.5 stars. It's a little rough around the edges, it would have been nice if they'd put a little more money in the place. It's very divey. We came for the Sippin' Santa pop-up, the front door was left open, which was cold on a December night. Some of the Christmas lights were already broken, cheap chairs, booth wasn't comfy. Drinks were good. Cool coasters. No drinks menu for the regular bar I could see. Cool but grungy place. read more

The Down N Out - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Awesome bar with great atmosphere. Makes you feel like you took a Time Machine to the 1960/70s when you hang out there. They have great Djs on the weekend. Pool scene is pretty competitive on certain nights. Check out this ordinary bar! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Great neighborhood bar. I loved the atmosphere. I think there was one of every different type of person that you can think of that walked in. Obviously very welcoming and friendly. Drinks were good, bartenders were friendly. Definitely will be back! read more

Love this place! Perfect dive, loving the food pop ups they're always so random yet consistent. Good place to meet up friends at. They have two pool tables and a jukebox (ami), would recommend anyone to meet me here. The service is awesome fast and friendly too. Come hang! read more

The Down N Out - Bad Larry's burger - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Cool bar, has potential. Needs some work. Rough parking lot.

Cute new bar in South Main Village in Fort Worth. the place is a renovated older building that currently has a Santa Tiki bar pop-up. The holiday themed drinks are served in cute mugs that you can take home for purchase. There are pool tables and limited seating. Really wants to have a dive-bar aesthetic but a very clean millennial style dive bar. The bar was a little chaotic on a Saturday night with the tables full and a couple pool tables pretty cute and fun inside though. read more

The Down N Out - Yule Tide - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Sam is the best bartender!!!!! 10/10 would recommend!!! Love them'!!!!!!! On karaoke night he's gonna clap for you!!!!!!!!!!

Sam is literally the greatest. Best vibe best place to be ANY day of the week. And I'm picky. Yall come here.

Bartenders were not friendly and the gender neutral bathrooms are tiny and have a terribly nauseating stench.

Good chill spot to have a drink. They had a vendor outside cooking tacos which were great. Good environment and very welcoming.

Passed by this bar several times before I decided to stop. I was not disappointed. Great decor and furnishing. Pool tables and several TVs. Nice young crowd that didn't bother this old man. Several races represented, everyone welcome. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome atmosphere and even better bartenders! Sam was phenomenal. 10 out 10 highly recommend.

This is one of my all-time favorite bars anywhere. I have traveled extensively, and this place "gets it". Any negative review of this place is probably from a hater who was too drunk and got cut off. This is a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. There's always a diverse crowd, LGBTQ friendly, and anyone who doesn't act accordingly is invited to drink elsewhere. The door guy tries to talk to everyone and makes us feel welcome. The bartenders are fast, talented, and take their jobs seriously. They only get "testy" with people who act like the rules/laws/"bar etiquette" etc... don't apply to them. The owner is always there on the weekends, clearing glasses, wiping tables, and taking out trash. Hardest working bar owner I've ever seen. The dance parties with DJs are EPIC! If you have a bad attitude, leave it at home. Great vibes! read more

Best bar off S Main by a long shot. As someone who frequents around town. I can say the vibe and people are what make this bar. They have an AMI. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. Has a divey feel, but their bar had some fancy stuff. They have a 50/50 which was an amaro with mezcal which doesn't scream dive bar, but that's why I loved it! They had a tropical drink with Pandan.... A little sweet for me personally, but what kind of bar in Fort Worth has a drink with Pandan?! Fancy! I also had their Irish coffee that had this wonderful chai whipped cream... I wish I could have tried more things, but I was getting tired. Had a very early 90s/late 80s living room type of feel. Will definitely be back! read more

Cool, chill, cozy & eclectic bar. I love the theme which is a little retro. It's dark which always makes me think they are hiding dirt, but it was pretty clean the couple times I went it. The single use bathroom is probably a big problem when they are busy but I only went when it was slower. Every time I go the bartenders have been great. I've met 5 at this point. Quick to make a drink and was always ready to talk if that's what you wanted. 5 starts for the kind of bar that it is. Don't expect high end with expensive cocktail or a biker bar. It's delightfully in the middle. Plenty of free parking in it's lot and on the street if need be, but the lot has seen better days. It won't mess up the bottom of your car though. I look forward to going to a party here soon. read more

Absolute RUDEST bartenders in town. The spot could be really great if only they had better staff. read more

Love hanging out here. The drinks are great and moderately priced. The staff is great. There's free hotdogs on Sundays. There are themed drinks for the holidays. read more

What I like most about this place is the fact there's plenty of tables/booths to sit and enjoy conversation with family/friends while waiting your turn on the coin table (pool). My favorite thing about this place is the selection of spirits and beer/beverages they carry. Keep it up! read more

Nice people, clean, well-priced drinks, great service. Stopped in on NYE to watch the TCU game and Nick was great! Perfect for the younger person who wants to get out without the west 7th craziness. read more

Older white bartender with the beard needs to be fired. He was very drunk trying to serve customers. He threw my card at me because it declined, then proceeded to yell at my friends who already paid for their pool game to get out. Worst experience ever. Do not come here if you're a minority and he is on shift. I've been here multiple times and always enjoyed myself with the other staff. This guy kills business. read more

Came here with the hubby the night before NYE. We had the best night! We've only been one time and still talk about it like it happened yesterday. I read the other reviews and had to post something. This place has character. It is an old building with an updated concept in a formerly rougher area of FW. But it is a VIBE! Ok. Our bartender looked like he starred in Dazed & Confused. Beautiful hair and was probably the best bartender we have encountered in a long time. Remembered our drinks, fast and friendly! Drinks are reasonably priced and shots are served in little das boots! The decor is GREAT! I love a good dive bar! Especially when it is playing '90s hip hop/pop. The crowd was friendly and diverse. Everyone seemed to be having fun. All the age appropriate generations were represented in the crowd. Imagine a place where the coolest of Gen Z, Millenials, Gen X and (gasp) Boomers all felt comfortable and vibed together. This is that place! Pool tables, dance floor and old school "lounge" vibes. This is THE spot! We are definitely planning our next visit soon. We're fans! read more
