Basement Bar is a nice fun little establishment in the stockyards area of Fort Worth…read more Not one of the bigger name places but not insignificant either, it's a good happy medium in the area. The ambiance is the best part. As advertised in the name, it's in a basement. There are dollar bills all over the place and it had live music the day we went, Service was good with a nice selection and friendly staff.

This pains me.... I…read morehave been going to GN for quite some time. And for the majority of that time....great staff...great service....great energy. tonight really irritated me in a way that I can firmly say, I won't be going back. Now what I'm about to say is not about ego or entitlement . I know me. I know what I do for my bar staff. My tips are generous! Unquestioned. Not because I'm a big spender but I know the struggle and hard times bartenders and wait staff go through during a shift of drunks. The first incident was standing at the bar about to order and a person from behind shouts out his order and the bartender makes it while seeing I'm standing there waiting to order. My options are to (A) be a jerk and yell "hey!! I was here first!!!" or "just take it and move on"... I did the last one. So when it's closing time and I tell the bartender, I like one more and close, then you confirm with me "Glenn you want 1 more and close?" I say "yes" and you tab me out and immediately start dealing with your other customers and not making my drink.... So I say after 5mins of being ignored " did you get my drink on that tab out?" You tell me you didn't and try to charge me for another drink.... I'm quite certain you charged me for that drink on my tab-out but just forgot and started serving your other customers forgetting about me. It's easier to just avoid the argument to not look like an ass over a drink so I left. Horny Toads....Dirty Water Saloon...even Star Light Lounge have never treated me like this. So instead of causing a scene and asking for my bill to be checked, it's easier to talk my hard earned dollars elsewhere to be appreciated. Peace.....

I love going to A Great Notion for karaoke. This is a real Texas dive bar. Neon signs all around…read morethe bar and sports on their big screen TVs, plus lots of seating and room for dancing. They also have one pool table and an area for darts. The drinks are cheap and there is a big open free parking lot in front. Karaoke is always fun and a mixed age crowd so lots of variety in what people sing. Check it out!

It was said to be the oldest and best pub in Fort Worth so that sealed the deal. Its a large venue with tons of seating and a nice long bar.

No food, but a taco joint is close by and the menu looked worth trying. As usual, the bartender makes or breaks a place and she was fabulous. It's a little out of the way for us, but we will definitely be making a trip back!

I love the causal atmosphere, the people are generally very laid back, they have a great door man, and a good beer selection. They have pool and darts if you're in the mood for more than a seat at the bar, and I believe a Buck Hunter game also. There is a taco stand outside on the patio that smells amazing and the bartenders are great. Womens bathroom is always clean and there are Lyft codes on the back of the door in case you need a ride home. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that even with the doors open, the smoke in here can be overwhelming. They allow smoking inside, so no matter how long you stay, you smell like a 50 year old chain smoker who just had 2-3 packs in their car with the windows rolled up. I still enjoy it here, I just make sure it's my last (or only) stop for the night. :)

I'm not too much of a beer drinker but it was tasteful mix of roasted barley and chocolate in terms of flavor. If I'm ever in the mood for another pint of Guiness I would definitely come back here.
