    Just moved to the area and had Thirsty Armadillo recommended to us, as we wanted a good country bar with some live music. Great atmosphere! We went here on a Friday evening around 8pm and it wasn't very busy and by the time we left, it had picked up a bit. The bartender was nice and quick, but unable to make a Colorado bulldog (my favorite... unsure if they didn't have the cream or if she didn't know what it was?). The music quality was great, not too loud to be unable to hold a conversation. My only complaints: people smoking. Where we are from, smoking is banned from any indoor place. Thought that was the same for Fort Worth, but there were ash trays on many of the tables. Also, it was so unbearably cold inside. The day was warm, maybe they turned on the air conditioning? The doors were kept open too, but even the bathroom was ice cold. Would be nice in the summer, but not January. :) Will definitely return for more live music!

    Everything is made from scratch and made fresh daily. The chef makes his Homemade Teriyaki and Asian BBQ sauce to go on his wings as well as cal slaw, horseradish sauce. Place order with one of our bartenders

    Love music

    The most amazing fix to your whole stockyards vibe. They are very fast and always friendly. I love this place.

    Waitresses were not very bright, service was garbage, and the cover was $5 for no live music.

Dim lights, worn wood, history in the walls, and live music filling the room like it's always belonged there. There's a small dance floor, just enough space to two-step without overthinking it, and that's exactly what we came for. This was our last stop of the night, meant to be a quick finish before heading elsewhere in the Stockyards. Funny how plans change. The music hit right, the energy was right, and this place delivered exactly what it promised. Before we knew it, last call rolled around and we were closing the place down. One of those nights where time slips by, boots are tired, and that old saying rings true -- you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Classic, gritty, full of character, and absolutely worth ending the night at. If you're in the Stockyards and want a real Fort Worth experience, not something polished or pretend, this saloon is it.

    We stopped by White Elephant Saloon, and while it appeared the bar has a strong local crowd, it…read morewasn't very welcoming to first-time visitors. The staff gave plenty of attention to regulars, but that same effort didn't extend to us "newbies." I'm not a bartender, but the difference in hand pours between locals and non-locals was noticeable. We sat at the bar so I could hear the orders being placed. We each had one drink and decided to leave. The lively atmosphere fits the Fort Worth vibe, and the bathrooms were fun with a classic western theme, which was a nice touch. Overall, this feels like a place best enjoyed if you're already part of the regular crowd -- otherwise, the experience is pretty underwhelming.
