Atico is a fantastic rooftop bar in Fort Worth and one of my favorite spots in the city. They offer an excellent selection of tapas-style dishes and an impressively stocked bar staffed by true mixologists. I'm an Old Fashioned fan, and every single one I've ordered here has been top-tier. The atmosphere is unbeatable--the open doors and windows create a breezy, inviting space with a beautiful view that feels both relaxed and energetic. On a cool night, there's no better place to be. While we really enjoy the food, our favorite ritual is stopping by Atico for a drink or two before heading out for dinner downtown. It's the perfect way to start an evening in Fort Worth. read more

If you order one thing from Atico, please let it be the Patatas Bravas, Aioli, Ranchero. They were THE BEST potatoes ever. They were so crispy and came with the best sauce ever on top. Our server was great and the ambiance inside was upscale but also super fun. Highly recommend!!!! read more

So , I have to mention Kaitlyn and Jess immediately. Kaitlyn is my waitress and she was powerhouse. Great personality, joked with me, laughed, made suggestions, and they were perfect. Jess with the mess....my bartender. Made the best old fashioned and lemon drop. The lemon drop was A1 !!!!! When I come back...I will have oysters and other things again . Another old f and L drop. And other things. Parking was kinda easy and the ambiance is everything. I needed today, Kaitlyn and Jess. The owner or manager checked on me often as well. Thank you. read more

Food was good, but the service was wonderful! My mom and I came in on a slow afternoon so I can't attest to their normal atmosphere, but I can see how it could be a lively place on maybe a Friday or Saturday. Wonderful croquettes and wine selection. Would definitely come back. read more

I searched Fort Worth rooftops and Àtico was the highest recommended so why not. I had no idea it was in the stockyards which kinda is a plus if you're looking to bar hop. Either way, girls love rooftops so it gave what it was suppose to give + great customer service and good drinks Will be back! read more

Ático - Ft. Worth - Tapas Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We came here on a Saturday night to celebrate one of our girlfriend's birthday, excited for a fun evening out. The location has plenty of parking, but unfortunately, you'll have to pay for it--and no, they don't validate parking. To get to the restaurant, you'll need to head to the side of the hotel and take the elevator up. Once inside, don't expect someone to greet you at the door, it's a self-seating setup. As soon as we settled in, our server arrived with menus in hand. She was incredibly sweet, patiently answering all our questions since it was our first time here. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, with a trendy open kitchen concept that made the space feel alive. The drinks? Decent, but not memorable--especially at the steep prices. As for the food, we wanted to love it, but it just didn't deliver. For the premium price tag, the dishes were underwhelming. We ordered several plates to share, but not a single one stood out or wowed us. The highlights of the evening were definitely the stunning views and excellent service. But for the cost? I'd much rather take my money...and my appetite somewhere else. Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

First and foremost the vibe and energy this culinary crew brought to the table was superb. The entire staff was prompt taking our order, super graceful explaining the menu selections "I had a lot of questions". Chef Zach came by as often as possible also explaining the dishes, and the Atico's culinary approach to a modern twist on rustic dishes. If you are in the Stock Yards or in DFW this is by far the best bang for the buck (scenery, exquisite food, one of the better whiskey selections). Don't miss out on this place! One of the best dinning experiences I can recall anywhere in DFW. read more

I like to start reviews on a positive note. The whiskey selection is outstanding. Ryes and Bourbons. Whistle Pig Boss Hog XI. Whistle Pig 10yr and 12yr Ryes. Garrison and Angels Envy Bourbons. Local and Tennessee whiskeys. Elijah Craig. Bookers. Good selections. But when we tried to order cocktails the bartenders couldn't make anything we asked for. Had to look up recipes for Black Manhattan and Paper Plane. The tapas were pretty good. Expect a lot of garlic. On everything. The Croquettas are in the "crispy" section but they were mushy and not crispy at all. The reason I indicated "maybe" recommend is the issue with the manager. I made the mistake of letting him know we were from California. On my way back from the restroom, he cornered me preventing me from re-entering the restaurant and proceeded to interrogate me about California politics and asked me if I drive an electric car. Telling me that the California power grid can't handle all the electric cars that are being mandated. I politely informed him he was misinformed and I drive a Jeep. Ok so what was that all about? The only thing I can think is that Californians are not welcome. And guess what? I don't recommend this business if you're from California no matter what car you drive. We stayed at the Drover and spent a fortune at Lonesome Dove (highly recommended) by the same ownership. I would go back to those establishments in a hot minute. Atico? Never again. read more

Great food and GREAT ambience! My friend took me here to grab some cocktails and small plates and it did not disappoint. Their cocktails are so cute and delicious. We ended up getting the brisket croquettes raw oysters and the cheese plate. We also happen to be there at the same time that the Pendleton girls were coming around, giving out merch and free taster shots, which was really fun! I wish I could remember our waitresses name because she was so helpful recommending things and was lovely to chat with - young blonde girl, super social - she made our night! read more

For all of you coming from out of town and plan to visit the stockyards (and looking to feel a little boujee) this is your spot. You wouldn't think that this cool place would exist on top of a Springfield Inn. On a nice day I can imagine nice open views from the balcony area. Absolutely great food and drinks but the shrimp dish is the one. We were told that it gets really packed in the evening. It was perfectly chill when we were there in the afternoon. read more

We stayed at the hotel and were VERY (and so pleasantly) surprised at how good the food and service was! We had the salad, scallops, iberico board, oysters, and shrimp (we like food - don't judge .) Every bite was delish, but highly recommend the shrimp. We sat at the bar and were entertained by chef and his staff. This is a DO NOT MISS if you're in the area and like excellent food. Please ask for Chef Sauce!! Adrian and Leo our excellent waiters, and the queen of bread - Chelsea. read more

Went on a Sunday evening around 5:30 and quickly found seating on the patio. Gorgeous views and a great ambiance with the cooler weather, the bigger doors were open for the inside to easily flow to the outside. Server was super friendly and I'm kicking myself for not remembering her name! She gave amazing recommendations and great service. Everything we tried came quickly and was tasty. I think my favorite was the deer sausage flatbread that had jalapeño pesto! The drinks were all super quick and so tasty. Such a great view and just an overall relaxing environment to enjoy company and good food and drinks! Will definitely be back read more

Good spot for an upscale vibe in the stockyards. The restaurant has an open kitchen concept. We ordered the charcuterie boards and some cocktails. One board had cheeses and pickled veggies while the other board had cured meat and sausage. The venison sausage was our favorite. The cocktails were more on the pricier side, but made well. The staff were friendly, but we did have to wave down other servers to order more food, drinks, and our bill because our server disappeared for a good bit of time. The patio area has a great view of the city. I would recommend if you wanted a starter place for date night or vibes with friends. read more

Chandler was awesome, ask for him when you come in. We really enjoyed our food, service and he had great recommendations. :)

We went there on a Saturday evening. We sat on the cozy loft outside overlooking the streets of stockyard. So normal day. But what made it worth was our waiter, Evan, who was so friendly and just such a jolly guy. He recommended us individual drinks according to what we liked. Each of us thought our drink was the best. So we had dragonfly, watermelon cooler, blood orange sangria, collins TEJAS. Watermelon cooler was the best for the hot texas summer night. We order multiples on that one. The sangria was one of the best I ever had, and I had a lot lol. Dragonfly was really refreshing as well. And, collins TEJAS with added texas bluebonnet didn't look the part but definitely taste the part. It was great blend of sweet and spicy. Then we had apple and lomo and then salami and fennel flat breads, which again so good!!! And the star of the dinner was the scallops, properly seasoned, cooked to the T, juicy flavors that melts in your mouth. Would definitely go again and again. read more

Very nice spot ! Located on the rooftop of a hotel. There was a musician singing and playing guitar which created a lovely, touching atmosphere. Ambiance: Decor was simple and the space has a lot of natural light and versatile seating options. I loved the live music. I rate the ambiance 9.4/10 Food: We ordered the goat cheese jar and a charcuterie board (don't remember which one but i posted a picture of it). We didn't order too much as we just wanted a small bite to eat before dinner but overall food was unique and tasty! I rate the food 9.3/10. Service: Our waitress was very attentive and answered our questions about the menu with ease. She checked up on us several times to make sure we were content. I rate the service 10/10. Overall rating = 9.5/10 read more

Meh Atmosphere was pretty good. Drinks were fair at best. Food was pretty poor quality tbh. Hummus was honestly the best thing we ordered. There was another dish that was supposed to be some sort of shaved pork something or other. Tasted like boars head that had been run through a smoker. Dry, the veggies on the plate were not awesome. Really I got out pretty cheap at $80 but left there knowing for certain I wouldn't be back. I can say that Maddie however was a good server. Just let down by everything else really. read more

I love this place! The servers are always so friendly and welcoming. The view is amazing. Great rotating menu with seasonal specials of fresh cocktails and food. The vibe is upscale mellow. You won't regret it. read more

Flew in for a quick layover, over superbowl weekend. Resturant is located on the rooftop of one of the hotels, one disclaimer they were doing construction so part of the rooftop was closed off. All the servers and bartenders were super friendly when we walked in. The resturant is a tapas sharing plates, and the portions are very generous! We ordered about 5 plates for 3 people and were stuffed after. Very good flavors and you could taste the great Latin flavors. Tori took great care of us. Though the views of the town from an above aren't Las Vegas it was nice groovy rooftop bar! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening last night, along with 26 friends, for a birthday party at Ático last night. Evan, our server, is the best there is on the planet! ...Five stars for him alone. Not to mention the vibe here is exciting and romantic at the same time. It's a phenomenal restaurant for drinks and a sunset watch. The food is totally off the charts as well, as to be excepted. The off menu ribeye is fire and the potatoes are a close second. We will return soon! read more

The little pizza was good and the ambiance was great. Drinks were quite nice but the charcuterie was definitely below par like way below par... Like my local grocery store deli probably beats it out by a good margin. Even the iberco which was heavily marketed is not very good. It's very very old and heavily aged so it's got a good bit of funk. All good if you're into that. I've had a beer ago before and loved it, but this was no bueno. I did not try plenty of dishes so there could be other dishes that are quite good, but based on what I had don't think I'll be making it back this way anytime soon read more

Waiter was not friendly at all. My friend is coeliac he told us we could make anything on the menu gluten free then proceeded to tell us everything we picked was not gluten free. Ended up having some celery and carrot sticks with a single sauce for an exorbitant price. One star for the view. Do not recommend. read more

Beautiful views. Amazing and unique food. Was a favorite at our team mtg and everyone wants to go back.

Service was good. Tables are at a premium. Food was underwhelming. Most drinks were good, and they should be at 18 - 20 a piece.Margaritas - meh. View is great. Not sure if we would return. read more

We arrived and was a little unsure on being seated as there isn't a hostess. Luckily the couple behind us had been there before and told us to just find a table. It would be helpful if there was a sign at the door as it makes it awkward upon arrival. We were greeted pretty quickly after sitting. The small plates are not so small. We're used to a small plate being so small two people get a couple of bites. Well these are Texas sized small plates. The patatas we're excellent. We didn't like the H'tapiti with Goat Cheese. My husband loved the oysters. The salad was ok, the steak was chewy with no flavor. Overall it was a nice experience and we would try again. read more

Great ambiance in summer and winter, overlooking downtown Fort Worth. A few mins away from the stockyards. The food is pricey and a little bit limited. The service is good. Slow on busy days but overall a good experience. read more

Very lively, fun atmosphere. VERY packed, but the staff were attentive, accomodating and hard working. My date & I had smaller-sized, tasty margaritas (could've been much stronger. I had to order 4 to catch a buzz). We ordered the shrimp appetizer and 5 (baked?) oysters. The sauce and bread that came with the collosal shrimp (HUGE & BEAUTIFUL) was out of this WORLD! SO GOOD! Had to control myself with it, it was that good. The OYSTERS tasted fresh and delicious too! Caitlin, our server, was fun and charming and perfectly on time. It was a great experience all around and memorable evening! read more

Food: We loved everything, but came mainly for the croquettes and patatas bravas - the fryer was down. The fryer handles a huge chunk of the menu, having spare parts in-house is a must. Deer salami is the same as deer sausage on the menu acc to server. When you think sausage you don't think salami and when you order the sausage coca (flatbread), it's not like salami - confusing. Coca's are served on a wood pizza peel, but in a puddle of grease - a turn off but it was fantastic in spite of the grease. The lomo flatbread is classic too. Awesome. Service: Our girl warned us about her ADHD and she didn't disappoint! She was sweet but forgot about two dishes we ordered and our last round of booze. She saw me hunting her after about 20 minutes & remembered our last round. She apologized, but she needs a system or manager's help, something. Ambiance: This could be the best vibe in the city but Friday night traffic sounds drown out everything - throwing revs & loud mariachi-techno idiocy is the vibe. Music choice kinda sucks inside too - it might be ironic? No one is there to hear bad 90's generic BS. If it's Catalonian, play some 12-string, some gypsy guitars, yacht rock, whatever - not Rod Stewart. Parking can sometimes be found on the curbs for free but uber or you'll be paying more than an uber for parking. There's an external elevator, so you don't have to bother the hotel staff. I'd definitely go back but not on a Friday night and I'd have my eye out for a different server. read more

As you as you get off the elevator you are met with the a beautiful space overlooking the Ft. Worth skyline. The kitchen is open so you can see everything going on, and the staff is so friendly. The food was creative and imaginative, although could use a touch more balance in flavors. For example, the deer salami flatbread would benefit from less fat and a bit more spice. read more

Ático - Ft. Worth - Deer Salami, Roasted Fennel, Manchego, Roasted Jalapeño Pesto - Tapas Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This past Thursday enjoyed visit to Atico. Beautiful place inside and looking fwd to spring and summer time views when patios are more useable. Service was excellent. Staff very friendly and attentive. Live music was enjoyable and appreciated. Drinks were good but pricy. Always odd to me that bar menu lacked prices forcing you to have to ask . Suppose thats the intent. Food was good but also on the higher side, shrimp dish of three was $32 as an example. Overall We liked the food selected but should have requested no added salt, especially on any served bread. So better than a 3 star but not a 5. read more

We went here for drinks and the view. The service was great, everyone was super attentive to our needs. They offer a wide array of beverages. They even gave us complimentary non-alcoholic shots...which was nice??! The menu is pretty extensive, but a little overpriced for what you're getting. The hummus dip was just average. The potatoes were just alright. I will say, venison flatbread was pretty delicious, so maybe get that instead. You might get lucky with street (parallel) parking, but we ended up just paying to park in the lot behind the hotel. Overall, you're going to get average food for above average prices. It's a great place for drinks with friends. You get a wonderful view with the rooftop. It is worth a try! read more

Rooftop views. Many interesting menu sections from the chef and everything trust we had was very good. Unbelievable colossal shrimp entree. Our server Josa had all of the great recommendations. And the GM was attentive. Cocktails were very good. High recommend for adults. I don't think would be great for children. So nice place to get away from the crowds quiet kids. read more

The ambiance here is awesome, especially at night around Christmas/New Year with all the lights around Ft Worth & Drover Hotel. The balcony has wall like closures they will close when it's cold but it's not fully sealed so it stays cool. My friend brought a blanket, which was great & really helped. Not sure why they don't have the gas portable heaters, that would have been ideal. The service was great--checked in but not too much. The food is good, a bit pricy as were the drinks and the style is straight up Spanish (like Barcelona). We did everything family style so we could all taste several things. We started with Pan Con Tomate (tomato bread) that was good but for $12 we got 2 pieces of bread with chopped tomatoes. It was very fresh but was more like Bruschetta style than the tomato bread we had in Barcelona. We then ordered one of the Cocas - Deer Salami, Roasted Fennel, Manchego, Roasted Jalapeño Pesto flatbread ($18). We were looking forward to this for the fennel but sadly this was so light we could hardly taste any fennel but the flatbread was well done, crisp and a good bit of cheese - over all tasty. We then had the shaved lomo which is a board of dry cured pork tenderloin and pickled vegetables. This was also available as a flat bread (Cocas) but I'd recommend getting this on the board, really good this way. We then had one of their "jars" called H'tapiti With Goat Cheese which is Sweet Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Dip served with crisp bread and pita triangles. All the dishes were presented well and all were fresh. Our biggest comment on the food (other than some of the portions for the price) is there wasn't much seasoning to the dishes. We arrived on New Year's Eve at 5:30 and was told they were out of 5 different bottles of wine. One of their speciality drinks is blood orange sangria. It was really good but was $18 per glass. Sangria is typically made with cheap wine because it has fruit juices, chunks of fruit then topped with seltzer or club soda, so no need to use expensive wine. $18 (to me) was just too much for this type of a drink. They have one dessert, Cream Catalana ($18). Basically like crème brûlée. It was good but the serving was about half of a cup and again, $18. Definitely had fun and would go back, but will not be one of our regular places. read more

Absolutely great patatas bravos..I felt like I was back in Spain. Also had to the ham croquettes! Loved our cocktails on the patio after we had a snack. Loved the service inside, it went down a bit when we went to the patio. Due to that I could t give them a 5. Service is a big deal! read more
