The Yummiest Cocktail Bars in Fort Worth

Roman Cucina

★★★★★ 4.6 (893) • $$

"Great food and you definitely get A LOT for the price!!! Entrees are roughly 15-20$ each and for most it's enough for 2 or 3 meals. The service is quick and everyone takes care of you. Empty plate? It's gone in seconds. Need a refill? They've got it done before you even have to ask. Great family spot or fun for a date night."

Saviano's Italian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (868) • $$

"The service was fantastic! Ask for Viktoria. Comfy, relaxed environment. For food we had the chicken Alfredo was flavorful and lite . The sampler was very good, it's a large portions. It's great for when you can't make up your mind.The chicken piccata was lite and great flavor balance . Chicken was very tender . This place is a nice gem."

The Tipsy Oak

★★★★☆ 4.2 (914) • $$

"Went here on a Saturday night, it wasn't crazy busy when we got there around 7pm. My friend & I arrived at the same time, so put together two tables & then a waitress asked loudly if it was just the two of us... a little odd but okay. ‍ Literally had just sat down & we were waiting for six other people. I don't know know if she thought we were just taking up space & anti-social, but there were like six other tables around us that were empty with no one waiting either. That being said, I also like that there's a lot of options to sit outside too. It was a little chilly so we sat inside, but definitely a great patio area.We ordered the big pretzel & the three dip with chips. Guacamole was okay, salsa was good, & the smoked gouda queso wasn't bad but it was pretty thickened up/cooled down a few knives after arriving to our table. Overall all food entrées from our table, the chicken tenders were okay. Pretty good portion. Fries were so so with both. My friend enjoyed his burger, then my other friend & I both had the smoked brisket grilled cheese... they knocked that out of the park! It wasn't greasy & didn't fall apart, yet had a generous amount of brisket. We had the mac n cheese with it, excellent. I'd go back just for that.Service overall was okay, good but not great. When it wasn't busy it took awhile for us to get our drinks, then a soda after that, then getting our initial orders in. Yet, when it got super busy, they were totally on top of everything!Overall it was a good experience, lots of drink choices & easy to see your options by scanning a QR code in the table."

Tricky Fish

★★★★★ 4.5 (554) • $$

"There's nothing tricky about this place, it's a catch! Highlights include:1. Complimentary hush puppies! (So good.)2. Indoor or outdoor seating! (Patio is a win.) 3. Options, options, options! There are fishes of all kinds that you can request fried, grilled or baked. (It's up to you!)4. Great service! (Water is never empty.) 5. You'll wanna go back!!! (Trust me.)"

Miriam Cocina Latina

★★★★☆ 4.4 (470) • $$$

"I started with a frozen strawberry margarita that was so strong it warmed my cold, little heart. For the main course, I had the green chicken enchiladas with Mexican rice and beans. The enchiladas were packed with flavor, and I especially appreciated the chicken being all white meat. The rice was perfectly fluffy, and the beans came with fresh cotija cheese on top.Overall, great food, a drink that hits harder than my caffeine habit, and a relaxed vibe. I'll definitely be back--next time, I'll try not to fill up on margaritas before dessert!"

Yama Izakaya & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (516) • $$

"LOVE YAMA!!! Excellent sushi! There are always new things to try. This is a cool spot ;)"

Billy Can Can

★★★★★ 4.5 (416) • $$$

"Excellent food. Excellent service. Had the hangar steak with bone marrow butter. Fantastic!!! Close to American Airlines Arena."

940's Kitchen & Cocktails

★★★★☆ 3.8 (579) • $$

"Absolutely loved this place, will definitely be visiting again!It's industrial chic inside, think cement and brick dressed up with leather booths and warm wood. The bar is beautiful!My friends and I started with cocktail flights, all delicious (the Kitty Coley and Old Fashioned were my favorite). We split Mac n cheese, a tenderloin grilled cheese and the shakshuka. The food was great (portions were a bit small but big flavor).Tito took care of us, he was very attentive and friendly. The manager also checked in, all around great service!"

Meso Maya Comida y Copas

★★★★☆ 4.2 (398) • $$

"We went for a late lunch and sat outside. It was lovely day and the food was spot on. Much better value than expected for the price. Service was excellent and we will definitely be going back."

Uchibā Dallas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (377) • $$$

"I had an amazing birthday dinner at Uchiba, and I can't recommend it enough! We opted for the happy hour omakase, and the meal did not disappoint--each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance is perfect for a special occasion, whether it's a romantic date or a night out with friends. The setting is chic yet inviting, making it a great spot for any celebration.While Uchiba is known for its sushi, they offer a variety of other dishes for those who aren't as into raw fish, and the servers were incredibly helpful in guiding us to options we'd enjoy. Their attention to detail and customer service really stood out.The only downside during our visit was some ongoing construction nearby, which caused a bit of inconvenience with parking. However, Uchiba offers complimentary valet service, though it's definitely a good idea to add a bit of extra time to your arrival and departure to avoid any delays. Despite this small hiccup, the experience was overall fantastic, and I'll definitely be back for another celebration!"

Maria's Mexican Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (417) • $$

"From the get go this place was honestly delicious. It's very cute for aesthetics and visual needs. You walk in with a warm greeting by the hosts to an absolute stellar server I think her name was Star, you were an absolutely star by the way! But you're not here for this, you're here for story time. Walking in, an air of warmth of smiles are immediately given by the staff. Promptly seated Eddie and I ask for recommendations as I had scanned the menu prior to arriving. Star recommended the three color enchiladas with seafood and some other items. We chose that the short rib sopes alongside a full pound of shrimp fajita. The braised short rib was absolutely melt in your mouth with hints of pickles creating bright harmonious fireworks in my mouth. 10/10 would eat again. Seafood enchiladas I would go green, red, and then white being my favorite to least. They were all good and the seafood was cooked perfectly and paired super well. I ordered some crispy potatoes on the side and was definitely dipping those delicious nuggets of golden brown through the sauces. Life hack, you are definitely welcomed. Shrimp fajita; pineapples, peppers and onions oh my. Though I wasn't fan of the seasoning of the pineapple (was it taijin?) it was still tenderizing the veggies and shrimp to create plump yet succulent bites. The rice and guac provided were pretty good too. Flan and five milk cakes for dessert were definitely the best desserts I've had in a while. Flan was custardy and definitely had a nice jiggle jiggle in the middle while the five milk cakes had nice evenly moist bites with coconuts spreading through any place it could in my mouth. Overall lunch date in Fort Worth was a huge success and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. Hugo's in Houston has a run for his money because I like this more than I do there. -chefs kiss-"

Te Deseo

★★★★☆ 3.5 (535) • $$

"The food was amazing! The service was great but the restaurant is very dark! Hard to even see the menu. Didn't bother me too much because the food and service made up for it!"

Ampersand

★★★★★ 4.6 (302) • $$

"What a vibe! Loved their concept of coffee shop by day and cocktail lounge/bar by night. I'm looking forward to coming back as a patron during the evening. Tried the Strawberry Fields Matcha Latte, and will admit that I should have gone with a classic matcha latte, I wasn't a fan of the sweetness of the strawberry fields. It was VERY strawberry forward, and that can work for some people, but I would have loved if the drink was a balance between the strawberry AND matcha. Loved the baristas, they were very kind and gave great insight on the menu."

Nonna Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (361) • $$$

"I'm picky when it comes to Italian food. I will say compared to what we have in Texas this is on the higher end of options but I've had better. The best dish was the mortadella pistachio pizza. Sadly, the truffle cream sauce pasta (white sauce in photo) had no salt! The flavor was just bland with that. Overall it was a good meal but not mind blowing. We were sitting by the door and the waiter opened it to let some people leave and we got blasted with cold winter air which also quickly cooled off our food, just something that should be considered when eating somewhere nicer. Dark vibes, cool lounge area."

EL Rincon Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar - Carrollton

★★★★☆ 4.2 (322) • $$

"Walked in for lunch on a random Tuesday. It was light not too many people thankfully. The inside and outside is aesthetically pleasing and nicer at the Carrollton location. Everyone was attentive and nice, no issues with service. As far as food goes. It reminded me of an El Fenix, Ojedas, Chuys. The queso was really good and flavored well. The sauce that they put on the Carnitas Chile Rellenos should be replaced with another sauce like the salsa they service with the chips and salsa would par better. It was like pizza tomato sauce that's what I would compare it too. The rice was really good and the black beans were good as well. The frijoles were really good as well even took some home rewarmed them and they were just as good as when we had them fresh. As for the verde enchiladas and fajitas I would rate them a 3/5 could be fresher and more flavoring not sure if I can pinpoint the taste. The flan for dessert was excellent. The shrimp Brochette was actually really good just burnt, also I wouldn't serve the butter with this appetizer it just didn't make sense. Would par it with another salsa/sauce. Definitely not butter."

Mesero - Clearfork

★★★★☆ 3.9 (364) • $$

"Wonderful place for a group lunch. Restaurant provided great service and recommendations to our large lunch group. We enjoyed queso to start and and I chose a salad for my entree. The presentation was beautiful and the food was even better! Would definitely recommend."

The Usual

""By then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better." -Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable FeastOrder the Hemingway daiquiri, drink it with friends and fill your life with something better."

Wild Salsa

★★★★☆ 4 (303) • $$

"I went to Wild salsa today with my girlfriends.We had a very nice time. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. I recommend this to anyone. It's a fun place and great food!!"

GreenHouse Restaurant & Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (406) • $$

"We came here to celebrate a special event with a friend and his family. There was about 30 of us and they set us up in a banquet room with a set menu. They served the children first which I really appreciate because they can be a handful if not taken care of. The event had a cash bar and the bartender was a master of his trade making some amazing old fashioneds. He also recommended a great wine. Metler Zinfandel. We had a choice between chicken, fish or steak. I opted for the steak which was cooked perfectly medium rare. The Brussels sprouts were charred very badly and so was not so great. They brought several rounds of appetizers to the table and they were all great. The service was great here. I'd like to try the regular menu some time. Give this place a try they do good."

Fiori

★★★★☆ 4 (293) • $$

"We had a graduation celebration on December 21 so I called to reserve the chef's room in November. We had 14 people and our waitperson Jake was amazing!The food was wonderful and it is such a beautiful restaurant. Everyone was very happy. We will definitely be going to Fiori for other family events that come up."

Komodo Dallas

★★★★☆ 3.5 (363) • $$$$

"We had an amazing birthday dinner here. We shared many of the small plates and would recommend all of them. Our favorite being the steak tacos but also enjoyed the lobster dynamite, dumplings, and salmon. The Peking duck was great and the dessert was as well. Atmosphere was very fun and drinks were fun as well. Meal was pretty expensive but worth it to us. Shout out our server who looked like Anakin Skywalker and was dope"

Thai Monkey

★★★★☆ 4.1 (251) • $$

"The musselman curry and the pad see ewe along with those incredible salad rolls with peanutnsauce. Super delicious. Thank you for a wonderful lunch."

The Daiquiri Shoppe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (240) • $$

"This is a must visit if you love a good vibe, drinks, and food. I've visited mostly on weekends when in Dallas and never a dull moment!"

Chet's Dallas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (193) • $$

"Came in for lunch on the Friday following Thanksgiving. My husband had the fish and chips and I got the Irish stew. The food was great! I got an amazing amount of meat in the stew. My only complaints were that the service was pretty slow and the restaurant was rather cold. Luckily the chairs were comfy!"

Muchacho

★★★★☆ 3.9 (218) • $$

"This location is really nice and a great vibe and feel, catered to families and travels and business people alike. Drinks looked good but we didn't order any, but our food was very good along with the chips and guacamole.I had the brisket tacos with corn tortillas and it was very tender and juicy, the rice was delicious and the beans were tasty. I ordered guacamole too for my tacos but it was probably not necessary as they put an avocado slice on each taco. My colleague had the fajitas with steak and shrimp and it looked great she polished off her food. Great texture mex option in the town square area"

Wise Guys Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.8 (215) • $$

"This is our go-to pizza place. I usually I build my own pizza (pepperoni and pinapple with thick crust-don't judge), but recently got the uncle ray from cali and LOVED IT. Staff is friendly. It's worth it to dine in for the free garlic knots!"

Elephant East

★★★★☆ 3.6 (237) • $$$

"We reserved a New Year's Eve prix fixe experience for two. The ambiance was elegant with carved wood molding and ceiling fixtures. Every bite was beautifully plated and our entrees carried some good flavor components.The downside came with our chocolate lava cake which was served cold. Instead of a warm decadent gooey-ness, we got a crumbly dry slab of cake that stuck to the roof of the mouth.Sadly another miss was when one of our water glasses had a lipstick stains on the rim. When we asked for a clean glass, the replacement also had noticeable blemishes.Overall, the venue is gorgeous but the service and execution of their menu could improve."

Sushi Axiom - Dallas

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (264) • $$

"Happy hour has great selection. Food was average. Nice and spacious restaurant. Friendly staff."

Goat and Vine Restaurant + Winery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (215) • $$

"Let's start out with the good. The ambiance is great! Full of fancy, warm lighting paired with plush seating and then rounded out with lots of greenery makes for a Frenchy feel.The service wasn't lacking, and all of the waitstaff seemed friendly and professional enough.We were here for brunch, so the menu and cocktail menu was limited - womp, womp.We ordered the charcuterie board as a starter and the salmon toast and steak and eggs as our mains. The charcuterie board was a little drab, mainly consisting of ham and no sign of cheeses (I don't consider pimento cheese a cheese) anywhere. However, the jalapeño and cheddar sausage was my favorite.The salmon toast was drowned in hollandaise, but all elements were executed correctly. The steak and eggs were a standout. Everything cooked as they should be, and the potatoes were particularly tasty.Will I be back for brunch? Probably not. Will I recommend this place for someone to try? Absolutely."

Monaco

★★★★★ 4.5 (130) • $$$

"I came to Monaco for Sunday brunch after a monthly car show that happens in the plaza. It seems like it's more of a dinner spot so wasn't crowded like a couple of the other more casual restaurants nearby. The vibe was elegant and classy. I had the breakfast hash and my friends ordered the eggs Benedict and breakfast burger. I really enjoyed the hash. The pickled onions and amazing chili sauce paired perfectly with the richness of the beef cheek. And I could tell the crispy potatoes were freshly made. We shared a pitcher of mimosas with fresh OJ for $20 and they also had a handful of cocktail specials as well."

Cha Cha's Mexican Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (214) • $$

"First of all, you have to have the food, Fresh , homemade, well staffed , well trained cooks . "Thumbs up to the cooks" Best Brochette Shrimp I've ever had and I won't even order it anywhere else.The Charo beans are better than mine ....man I hate admitting that one. This place is a survivor. I've been eating here since 1995. It's still a great place to eat out. Yes they stay busy but they are definitely skilled at turning tables. For the first time ever (30 yrs) I had to eat outside and I'll have to say ....i enjoyed it. Plus I had a terrific waitress!Better looking than Taylor Swift!!! lol."

Mesero - Southlake

★★★★☆ 3.9 (157) • $$

"I recently ate lunch at this restaurant and I felt a bit underwhelmed. This was my first time going here and we wanted to try something new and different. Mesero reminded me of eating at Gloria's when it came to the atmosphere. The restaurant was extremely nice inside. I really liked the openness and clean feel. The food was the underwhelming part. I was expecting delicious and authentic Mexican food and this was not it. We ordered carnitas tacos, fish tacos and a side of fries for our child. The best tasting thing were the French fries. The tacos were dry and bland. I felt like I had to drench my tacos in sauce to make them taste good. I don't like talking about any establishment but the food missed the mark for me."

Sakura Sushi & Sake Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (127) • $$

"In the mood for Sushi, and reading through the 4.5 Star Yelp Reviews we chose Sakura.Basic Sushi bar atmosphere, not busy but inviting. Japanese Beer and Cocktail, we had to try the Grilled Salmon Kama (Collar) which was very tasty, served on a sizzling cast iron bed of onions and garlic w/sweet dipping sauce. We've eaten grilled Yellow Tail Collar before and almost always make it a part of our meal, but never tried the Salmon version, which wasn't as remarkable as the Yellow Tail.Jalapeño Bombs, Riceless Tuna and Avocado Tower, a California Roll and Tears in Heaven Roll rounded out our meal.Everything was tasty and typical, but the Tears in Heaven was missing the Tears (nothing Hot but a small dot of Sriracha and hair thin Jalapeño slice and the cooked salmon was not expected when I'm ordered Raw Sushi Rolls.I've ordered the Tears in Heaven Roll at other Sushi bars with raw salmon and a ton of heat.The most remarkable item was the Wasabi which was delicious, with fire in your sinuses heat!"

Taqueria La Estrella

★★★★☆ 4.4 (120) • $

"Taco salad is amazing. Fresh pico de gallo & guacamole. The salsa is very similar to El Paseo's salsa, the chips have a similar seasoning as well. This is the best Mexican food in Mineral Wells."

Cartel Taco Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (194) • $

"I'm not sure what's up with the reviews! We came on a Thursday evening after drinking all day and needed some snacks. This was the spot.You can either order from the takeout counter and bring it to your seat, or get traditionally served. The menus are slightly different and seated service was highly recommend.We started with the nachos which were fantastic. We also got a couple tacos at the servers recommendation, all great. We did not leave there hungry and were super satisfied, great food.The service was super quick. Jack was the one that served us at the bar and he was fantastic all night.We had a lovely time and it was perfect after a day at the arcade!"
