50 Best Bars near Watauga

“The bartender Miss Dani is awesome! As a new customer I was surprised by the attention Dani gave as I asked questions about the different types of tequila they have.I finally decided on a single of 2 different types. The brisket nachos are juicy , not dry at all. Ask for sour cream! Great place in Watauga heading out to a bar for some drinks, Dani treated me like a regular, even though I’m not. Atmosphere is casual and comfortable!“

“Best food and great customer service. Came to this restaurant with family and friends and we were surprised that we been missing to visit this gem. From start to finish the host came multiple times and took good care of us. They know how to take good of customer and we had a great time.“

“They stay open later for us night owls“

“We have so much fun here 3 times a week Food is bomb.com and they are super cool with everyone having a good time We love it!“

“Second Rodeo is an amazing venue with the kindness most welcoming staff ever!!! Tucked away in the heart of the stockyards, you will fall in love with the friendly and amazing atmosphere!!!“

“A fresh dive bar in Fort Worth that delivers on 'good people - great drinks - community thoughtful'. Two pool tables, a warm dance floor, and if you are lucky...a couple rollin' glizzys“

“First time there. If you like an Old Fashioned, they have several to choose from, all three I had were great. If you want it smoked, they got your back! Nice atmosphere, chill spot. If I didn't live so far away, it would be my go-to, but if I'm in the area, I will be back!“

“We absolutely loves Pearl’s. Everyone is so friendly and the music is always great!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent ambience, love the hidden speakeasy vibe. I seriously recommend the non-alcoholic Prosecco, it was so good! We were seated off to the side in a cozy booth (not pictured since I forgot to take many pictures). Will be back for a date night or catch-up with the gals.“

“This restaurant is another great one in the mid-cities! I would argue that they serve the best Thai food around. It was no surprise that Napa Thai was very busy for a Tuesday night, and yet the service was perfect and the food was amazing! The curry dishes will not disappoint and we had several appetizers which were delicious! If you love Thai food, this restaurant is for you!!“

“Tori and Zach are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Every time we come into the Kimpton with a big group of parents, they are always ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!! There is absolutely nothing that they would not do for their customers. Going above and beyond to offer drinks, food, etc, whatever it may be, they accommodate. In my 7 years of living in Fort Worth there has been no other bar tenders as great as these two! Those who hate must be jealous of their hospitality! Seriously could go on and on about these two! Come to the bar!! Relax and enjoy!!!!“

“I’ve been a huge fan of Nick and all the folks at the B-n-B since 2002. With my military travels I’ve visited many a pub, and this is by far my ultimate choice when craving a pint.“

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

“Just left and will never go back. Ordered a burger and didn’t realize until I had eaten several bites that a large portion in the middle was totally raw. Not just undercooked a little - totally raw. I chose to not send it back as I had consumed some of it but saved it to show the waitress. When she told the manager, the manager blamed her ( the waitress). I then spoke to the manager and she would not listen and kept insisting it was the waitress who was responsible. She talked right over me, and was downright nasty.She admitted she didn’t bother to look at the burger. No customer service skills whatsoever. I was not asking for anything just explaining it was not the waitress’ fault that the kitchen didn’t cook the burger. The waitress was very concerned and apologized. She did an excellent job of customer service.“

“The beer is pretty good but there is a handsome fella behind the bar, goes by the name of John. He’s alright.“

“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.“

“Truly the Best Little Honky Tonk in Texas. The best local talent on stage and you just never know who might show up and sit in for a couple of songs. The beer is cold, drinks are good and the Bartenders are awesome! 😎“

“I love this dive bar I have made this my regular bar and often come during $2 off Tuesday possibly the best deal in town. They are flexible on the requests for the drinks and have a decent selection of liquor and beers. This bar is more low key and quiet compared to other bars. Sean is a great bartender he deals with me so he is very patient and makes great drinks.“

“I am so glad I was finally able to try this incredible restaurant. I had heard about it on Facebook and saw the great Google reviews, but the timing just did not work out for me on other occasions. Last night, we had crawfish etouffee, the red snapper, gumbo, and the real deal bread pudding! Actually the bread sitting is better than Whitney make it home and that is a bit of an embarrassment. The etouffee had just the right spice. My brother went back for seconds on gumbo, and two in our party really enjoyed the snapper. Prices are very reasonable, especially for this area. It does have a bit of an odd location. It is inside of a Holiday Inn hotel. Very lucky travelers! Just go and you won't regret it. We plan to return Thursday night when they have live entertainment.“

“Donald had a Reuben and for myself a chicken salad that was about the best I've ever had...and then the potato salad. YUM! My homemade recipe is requested ? often and Donald and I both agreed this potato salad tasted just like mine. Oh, and many many choices of beers.“

“They have amazing staff and a creative menu that will keep you coming back!“

“Great dive bar that lets you bring your own food. They just do drinks, but it's a great vibe. Loved our bartender and trivia host. We went for the Supernatural event, but they host many different trivia nights. Not pretentious, so pass if that's what you are looking for.

Vegetarian options: Considering they just do drinks, technically vegetarian

Parking: Some parking at the location, but looks like you could find more“

“Being new to the Texas this was the best first spot I ever went to. The staff is fun and awesome“

“Sun atmosphere and great band with a friendly staff! Awesome sound man as well!“

“The 90’s BBQ truck blew my mind! So much that I had them cater my July 4th party at my house. They food is unbelievable and the customer service is top notch. Everyone at the party said it was the best BBQ they had ever had. Their Asian and BBQ fusion is amazing! I was very lucky to have found those guys there. Even writing this makes me hungry for 90’s BBQ!“

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

“It’s the service !!! The bartenders are amazing !!! The owners are super nice.. and if you come in on Fridays as a first time visitor, your first drink is on the house . AMAZING! Oh yah, awesome bonus add, is they are doing renovations and changing up some things. Go check them out and support a local business, ask for Jessica and you won’t be disappointed.“

“beautiful and comfy atmosphere“

“great karaoke. nice little dive bar“

“They have some of the best wings in town. Big but not fatty. Well cooked and not slimy or too dry. They pour the sauce of your choice over the wings, so they are not so messy that they get all over your face when eating them. They have a dry rub as well. I have not had any of the flavors be too spicy.“

“First time visiting The Stockyards. We wandered in on a Friday night and spent the rest of the evening there. Cool place. Amazing cocktails. Cool bartenders. James is the best mixologist. We went back the next night. Loved it! We’ll be back next time.“

“friendly service, recommended drinks and they were delicious!“

“Has been around a while so it is a solid place. Bartenderess are quick to serve no matter how busy they are. Karaoke on the weekends brings young adults to older adults. Kudos to the man who handles all of the request for karaoke. Come on in , order a cold one, stay for the fun. There is a modern Juke box for weekday entertainment. Two pool tables for you to get your game on.“

“I highly recommend checking out Redd Dawg, best prices on beer in town.They do live Jam sessions, and karaoke is always fun.Every time I come here, everybody is very welcoming!I really like the atmosphere, everybody interacts with each other. Gives you that feeling, like having a second family over there.If you are looking to hang out at a place with awesome vibes?Come check out the Redd Dawg!“

“Sooooo much fun! 💓 Thank you Cerra & Karen for a good time! 🎉“

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

“You just can't beat Toadies! They have Denton prices with a mid-cities location. The pizzas are Insanely Good and Inexpensive, the Thursday tacos are a local tradition, and the bar specials rock.
The staff are knowledgeable friendly and give a d*amn. Check them out.
Thanks guys!“

“Wicked Butcher is the best meal I've ever had. Worth it for the popovers and chocolate souffle alone, but also loved my fillet and curry salmon. Can't wait to go back!“

“I popped in for UNO night. It was fantastic little bar. The environment was so welcoming and full of laughter.“

“Great vibe! Open mic night with Cassandra May Lorrance made it fun. Friendly bartenders and the even had my favorite whiskey!“

“Great old country music and good bands ! We definitely want to go back!“

“The idea of this place is great! They just need a low sugar option margarita and it would be nice if they could tell you what kind of tequila is in it but it's still a nice place just wish you could get tequila shots instead of all the sugary drinks. Probably some AC in the summer would really set this place off but overall it was great and I will be back.“

“Had a great time. My only complaint was it was hard to get a good view of the dj performer from anywhere really. Staff was great. Sound was awesome. I'm doing dry January and my bartender was really cool about it. No eye roll or anything. Tipped like I was drinking because of how good he was to me. Thanks for being total pros!“

“Fantastic dinner tonight, Donny was attentive and our server Tong was fantastic! Great knowledge of the food and drinks and pleasant conversationalist! The Bao Bao starter was our favorite of the night, and our sushi was delicious and served quickly. The Adult Movie cocktail was a quirky choice (served with a small side of popcorn!) that I was pleasantly surprised by its smoky but citrus taste! The strawberry shooters with infused whipped cream were refreshing for dessert. We definitely plan to come back soon to try more!“

“We went last night for the ghost tour 8/1 and had the best time. Drinks at the winery were superb and even got to walk around with them throughout the tour. The host, Rose, was very knowledgeable upbeat and engaging with all the historical ghost tour spots. You can tell she is passionate about the paranormal and can’t wait to join again when the weather is cooler.“

“Loved it, bartender Melissa/Marissa was a pip with excellent conversation points and loves dogs!“
