50 Best Cocktail Bars in Fort Worth

“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!“

“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. ❤️❤️“

“If you’re looking for amazing Italian food, you’ve got to try Bocca. The pasta is seriously the best, so fresh and full of flavor. The short rib and osso buco are insanely tender and just melt in your mouth. Even the appetizers like the pulpo and scarpetta are ridiculously good. The portions are big enough that you’ll definitely have leftovers, and honestly, it’s worth every dollar. Easily one of my new favorite spots!“

“Outstanding dinner experience. Staff, food, wine and spirits list, atmosphere, design details, all top notch. Hunter was excellent, everyone was excellent. Worth the price point. Compliments to everyone who works to make this place what it is. A gem of Fort Worth. We'll definitely be back!“

“You know the food is on point when you order 2 meals . No joke ! Great job ,great food, great people! Check it out“

“Love this bar, all . Service is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“We love the Lazy Moose! Colleen is just a terrific bartender and always fun to talk with. She remembers our name and orders. Food is typical bar food but always hot and fresh. Love the way it’s set up, a mix of tables and cozy seating at the fireplace (bring back a sofa!) and of course a pool table. It really is our favorite little neighborhood bar.“

“Proper is a cozy hole-in-the-wall just off Magnolia in Fort Worth; a reliable spot for a low-key nightcap or a pre-dinner drink. The vibe is relaxed, the drinks are solid, and the space never tries too hard. Best for a small group or if you’re just looking to switch it up🍸“

“Great setting, terrific local distillery produced spirits. My favorite was their Rye!“

“Love the atmosphere and how they opened up the patio and everything. The bartender Jackie is so nice. However the female bartender who is often there- with the dark hair, not the one with the cool funky style- is just always seeming bothered or rude. I know she doesn’t owe me niceness, but it seems like maybe I annoyed her with my 1-4$ tip per drink. I thought like a 1 on beer, 3 per cocktail sort of vibe was okay but maybe is not enough for her. I tended bar for a long time so it always confuses me and the other staff here and at Reflections seems always cool. This would be my “cheers” if it felt welcome. Especially is hard in a place like TX where that’s pretty much the only bar I’d like to go to.“

“Great Good ol time love the bartender's really great womenmy first time going I laughed and talked so much I was like I known forever even was given some fashionable clothing. So sweet and awesome good music if like to DJ and pool galore thank you for a wonderful start of my Thanksgiving week XOXO Lathsa “

“Great Saturday evening karaoke! Everyone was so damn friendly, drinks were very reasonable, and the karaoke setup is very well done!!Thanks everyone for the great time! My fiancé and I will try and come together next time!Sincerely,Greg Potter“

“Best bar, bar none!“

“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!!!“

“The food was amazing, the service was fabulous, and the speak easy - awesome!“

“Excellent shows hosted by Salem Moon at the red goose! Also good food and drinks always!“

“Tienes que venir a este lugar si o si, su gran variedad en el menú te hará tomar una difícil decisión pero todo lo que elijas te aseguro que te hará volver!! Especialmente sus deliciosas flautas endiabladas y el café horchata que es un 10000/10⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great first visit! Chazz Madrigal never disappoints.“

“Amazing dinner with the gals!! The food was flavorful and delicious. I had the bacon cheeseburger and by far one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Everyone at the table raved about their food. The staff was pleasant and we got to meet the Chef, he personally came out to check how everything was. Definitely recommend, will be back soon!“

“So much fun! Stopped in after seeing a Facebook post while visiting Ft Worth & so glad we did. Great atmosphere & the cocktails were on point! The upstairs bartender was great - personable & friendly! Worth the stop if you’re in the area!“

“Best quality food around. Their burgers are amazing but I also love their chicken salad sandwich recipe too! Recently remembered so the bar area is open with the restaurant during the same hours now. Good happy hour and love that they have their own parking lot. Friendly family establishment and wonderful service“

“I can’t stop thinking about how wonderful everything was. The food and drinks were exceptional, the staff were courteous and skilled, and the atmosphere was inviting and enjoyable. We will definitely be back!“

“FANTASTIC Staff & Manager! Friday night I took my daughter there for her 24th Birthday. The Manager was so friendly and took care of us! Gave us a wonderful table by the window. He was so attentive to the whole restaurant and was running the very busy place with such professionalism. Highly recommend Blue Sushi for their amazing sushi, but the service was stellar!“

“Delicious Tex Mex right in the middle of the 7th Street action! Very much enjoyed my meal.“

“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. 🩷“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and service! We are still talking about our experience!“

“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“

“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.“

“Shrimp cocktail rocks - period! it’s packed with shrimp in the most delicious sauce including tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños. Always ice cold. Hand made nachos not just dumped or piled on a plate, great enchiladas, tacos, soups… you can’t lose at this place.“

“Just a great vibe with grown ups!“

“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.“

“My buddy owned it and good people work here“

“Jakes has been the BEST place to eat in FT. Worth Texas. We have been staying across the road and man the food has been amazing. The hamburgers to avocado toast have really been amazing. I am in love with the avocado toast, it has been the BEST I have ever had.“

“Delicious food and excellent service, I really recommend this restaurant, I Love it and I will come back again 😋“

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

“I apologize to the world for not writing a review of the Sicilian Butcher sooner. Allen the GM took his time greeting us and explaining their high quality foods and drinks. Chef Landon came out to explain our meat and cheese board and answered questions we had about their dynamic and incredible menu. You can tell how much he loves what he creates and the process and care that goes behind it. He’s a generous and kind chef who cares about his customers. That was a great feeling! The food is indescribable and I urge you to try it all because there are no disappointments, only delicious surprises. The pizza dough is outstanding and sets itself apart immediately from the rest. The steak meatballs are tasty and smooth. Our bartender Liam made the best Melon Margaritas (Marg Al Melone) and took great care of us!! It was pretty and insanely tasty!!!!! To finish, I challenge you to find a better Tiramisu than this one (see pic). Prepped over 3 days and smooth as can be. I’ve never had anything like it. Everything is fresh and the prep is well orchestrated and masterfully delivered. We feel at home here and the vibe is bright and happy. I’ve sent several friends here and they were all blown away. It makes me happy to share this special place with all who love good food, drink and atmosphere. Thank you to the entire staff at the Sicilian Butcher from start to finish!!!“

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

“I stopped into Fifth & Commerce, tucked in the lobby of Embassy Suites Fort Worth Downtown, and was delighted by the experience. The hand‑crafted cocktails were expertly made, and the food was genuinely fantastic. Whether it was the burger or the wings with mac & cheese I tried, every bite was flavorful, satisfying, and quick to arrive. Service was truly outstanding - attentive, and friendly“

“Best night ever. Dancing, bartenders were great. Awesome“

“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.“

“Brenda was the best and patient in describing the make of each shot!“

“Food was amazing and appropriately priced. The big thing though is my daughter accidentally ate a jalapeño and it was super spicy to a 2 year old, the staff made her a churro to cheer her up, without being asked or prompted, the employee just noticed she was really upset and I very much appreciated it. Thank you for the awesome customer service!“
