50 Best Cocktail Bars in Fort Worth

“We were in Ft Worth for my daughter’s bachelorette party Saturday July 13th 2024. We had an email sent to us about large party requirements when we added one xtra person to our reservation we had had for month. The large party requirements were not possible for us we had 12 in our party. We then cancelled our reservation. Decided to stop in to get one of their famous espresso martini. I decided to go to the hostess to ask about our email. She went to get the manager. We told her what happened and that we canceled our reservation also we were so looking forward to this special dinner for my daughter. Emilee the manager listened checked into a few things and explained everything to us. She then told us to be there Saturday at 6:00pm. She wanted to make this right. We arrived at 97 West at 6:00 pm. We were treated with smiles then lead to a private room. The food atmosphere service were out of this world. Emilee and Patricio went out of their way to accommodate and make this night special. Thanks to both for making her night special. Defiantly if your in the area go there. Emilee even gave her a luggage tag with her initials MU. A guy was branding them outside and a congratulations dessert. Definitely went out of their way for us. We will definitely be back if we get to to the stock yards again. ❤️❤️“

“Visiting Ft Worth for a concert and wanted to eat a local place. Great location, service, atmosphere. Flavors were fantastic. Give it a try! Don't fill up on their chips & salsa verde!“

“Three of us friends arrived at the restaurant and sat on the patio due to the fact that it was a lovely evening. The wait staff came out and brought us our food and I believe at one point the manager also came out and greeted us. We had some very typical dishes, spaghetti, garlic bread, and my friend had another Italian dish. One friend had wine and two of us had a mixed drink. Our bill came out and it was quite expensive. So we talked about how we did not feel like the price matched the quality or the taste of the food/drinks. I do hope that this local restaurant will make it. I do love supporting a local restaurants. But I was not wowed by the quality or the taste of our Italian food. I hope somebody else has a better experience otherwise. The wait staff was lovely. The environment was lovely and the effort is beautiful.“

“My wife and I chose Bricks and Horses for our anniversary dinner this year. We had never dined here before but have heard great things. Arrival was good, the valet staff was courteous. Hostess greeted us and we were promptly seated. Our server, who was absolutely the best all evening, greeted us by last name and congratulated us on our anniversary. I have never booked an anniversary dinner where it was so kindly acknowledged right from the start.

We chose to split the Caesar salad - which we were told would be large enough to do so. It was so good that we could have easily had a whole order each. My wife ordered the lobster piccata for her main. It looked terrific - and she commented this was the best lobster she had ever had. For my main, I had the 10 oz strip steak with the loaded potatoes gratin. The steak was perfectly cooked - and the bone marrow butter took it to another level. The potatoes were also great - could eat those all day.

For dessert, we both had hot tea - with my wife having the pear and almond tart and I had the gooey butter cake pie. Just like the rest of the meal, this was also fantastic. In addition, for our anniversary, they also provided a small piece of a standard white birthday cake with a piece of chocolate on top stating "Happy Anniversary" - this was the only things slightly odd.

Our meal and experience was so great that I hate to make any negative points, so I will consider this a suggestion to them. In lieu of the "grocery store" piece of birthday cake (which looked and tasted as such - icing very sweet), provide the guest complimentary tea / coffee with their dessert. It would have been nice to know that was coming before, as we would have just passed on it - as we really did not need three desserts. And the look/taste of the "birthday cake" was so not consistent with the rest of the food and atmosphere experience.

Overall, we will definitely be back on a regular basis. We also want to come by sometime just for happy hour at the bar and for a meal on the outdoor patio (which we did walk out and look over before we left - looks great).“

“Just wow. I was pretty skeptical before going. I scheduled a personalized bottle selection with a friend. I showed up a little early. The place is classy, welcoming, and fun. The bartender was the most charismatic man I’ve met in a long time. I’ll definitely be back for cocktails. The build your own bourbon was hosted by Brandon, the guy who distills the whiskey. To say he was knowledgeable on the topic is a great understatement. The whiskey was great and the experience was as worth every penny. Don’t wait another minute. Go to the whiskey tasting / bottle build today. Bring your friends. It’s a great time“

“Love being able to bring home my flight of Shorty's and use them as I'm ready. Flavors are wonderful.“

“Appetizers were awesome!!! Service was really slow w/ many excuses! Didn’t like the fact that if you were in a group, you could not pay individually even w/ a credit card, you had to figure out how to use 4 cards within the group to pay for all items! Not cool!!!“

“Incredible venue and great staff that made our All 80’s High School Reunion a huge success. Addison worked with us every step of the way and the the hotel blocked dozens of rooms for a discounted rate for people who wanted to stay the night. Food was great and The bartenders were awesome. If you want the best Old Fashion in Fort Worth, just ask for Kat to make you one. Planning an event it is all about venue and menu. Lot 12 checks those boxes.“

Like a beautiful gem of Ft Worth, this place has the sizzle that will satisfy your tastebuds. The decor and attention to detail is amazing. The food delicious and will keep you coming back for
another bite.“

“While staying at the Marriott at 3300 Championship Pkwy, Fort Worth, Texas, October 31- November 1 2024 went had dinner at Jackdaw Restaurant. It was an absolutely great experience and the staff was wonderful. Toni took care of us and did a marvelous job, Toni is the very the best ever! What a wonderful person. Therefore, as we stayed two extra nights and went back to the Jackdaw Restaurant, we knew Toni would be there. She is truly the best! -Martha and Jim Wilton“

“Amanda is always the most accommodating host👏😘 Pizza is the best ever! And the rum punch ain't so bad either🙄🤣“

“One of my favorite bars in Fort Worth. Big space with multiple seating/vibe options. Sit at the bar to socialize with strangers, or find a comfortable chair with a view in the back. Dog friendly; Blue always makes a few friends. I normally stick to beer but the cocktails are expertly made, and every bartender is nice / knows what they’re doing.“

“The mocktails are the best. I go with friends to enjoy the atmosphere (think Giligan's Island) and get a drink to begin or end an evening out.“

“The tequila lime chicken was so so good! The atmosphere was nice. Love a good patio. We loved it. Recommend the cheesecake for dessert. We will definitely be back. 🩷“

“Fun place! Avila’s Casado tacos were so yummy.“

“Fantastic Coffee and a great place to get some work done in the morning.“

“Cozy atmosphere with soft lighting and wonderful service. Order off the cocktail menu and we had the amazing City limits Gin cocktail- so good. Our bartender was very helpful as it was our first time in, she also recommended the Blackland Texas Pecan whiskey drink. We don't really drink whiskey but this recommendation had us second guessing our judgement since it was that yummy. Great little hidden spot. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Great place! Play pickleball in the league and love doing lessons with Michelle. Enjoy lunch once a week and the food is always good.“

“Walker took great care of my date and I this week! The only thing I’d say negatively is; you took the coconut shrimp and sweet potato fries off the menu and that was the best thing🙁 I still love this place though.“

“The drinks were amazing. My wife had the Tahitian treat. I don’t even know what it was called on the menu, but that’s what it is if y’all tried it, you would be drop dead in your tracks in love the ruby ranch drink was bomb. It taste like gummy bears. “
