The Yummiest Cocktail Bars in Fort Worth

Underdogs Burgers & Brews

★★★★☆ 3.5 (93) • $$

"Love Love Love the Happy Hour here especially when the weather is perfect. Whether you want to chill with friends and enjoy the scenery, hang with friends at the bar and watch football, or enjoy a live band... this place has it all. Definitely try the mushroom burger (I had them hold the bacon) and the Pimento cheese balls. Sooo delish!"

Day Drink Lounge

★★★★★ 4.7 (24) • $$

"We were visiting the area for a conference and were looking to finish off with some jazz, this is the place! We got in right before the end of Happy Hour (8:00) . The Rockin Reverend Rick McCoy was one of the best we have heard in an intimate jazz bar. Bea the Bartender was friendly and mixed a good one! If our travels bring us back to the area we will definitely drop in !"

Maxine's Cocktails

★★★★☆ 3.9 (10) • $

"I'm giving high marks to Maxine's because it's hard to find a good dive bar around town these days and this place is a good one. I didn't review after my first visit about a year ago because I was there with some friends that were obviously VIPs there from the service and attention we attracted upon our arrival. This time I was with other, less popular friends. We still got great service, the beer was cold and the bartender friendly and funny. Old School jukebox and shots, what more could you need?"

The Colony Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (19)

"Walked up to the outside wine bar. Plenty of options of wine from bottles and cans. You can take your drink and wander around Grandscape as you please. We opted for a nitro press juice mimosa. The nitro press juice is served on tap. The hibiscus calamanzi mimosa was a cool and refreshing drink on a hot summer day."

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.9 (632) • $$$$

"I recently celebrated my birthday here and From arrival to leaving we were greeted and treated excellent. They even gave me a birthday card and complimentary desert. I can't say enough about this place, I've been here many times and each time it's perfect. The ambiance is comforting, upscale, but not stuffy or overly formal. From the staff, level of service to the quality of the food you feel special. This was my first Tomahawk steak and it was probably the best steak I've had in my life thus far. I couldn't have picked a better place to go for my birthday."

Mad Hatter

★★★★☆ 3.8 (8)

"The mad hatter gin & tea party was the best experience. It was a fun time filled with comedy,theater, and beverages. From start to finish you become a character at the tea party along with others. It's uniquely done and worth the ticket price. The ambiance is imaginative and it is as though you have gone down that rabbit hole to celebrate the "uncelabratable"!"

Azteca

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (29)

"This was our first time to try Azteca it was great! We will definitely be back!!!!!!!! The service was great, the food came out quick and was really good. The margaritas were good and the table side guacamole. We have no complaints"

Shoals Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 3.9 (10)

"We came in late, and my group came in unknowingly almost 30 deep at 1 time! The team immediately sat us; Julia and Laura provided friendly and prompt service. The Brisket was good, Brisket QUESO DIP WAS AMAZING!"

Lot 12 Rooftop Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (40)

"Lot 12 is perfect for football game days. You can't beat the space with the rooftop views and they have live music. During the TCU football season, expect it to be packed inside and outside. If you're wanting to watch a game, note that there are only two tvs outside and one is slightly blacked out due to the amount of sun rays. There are many lounge areas to choose from to chat with friends.During the summer months, they serve coconut mojitos that are delicious. I highly recommend those!If you're staying at the hotel or just want a rooftop bar outside of football season, expect Lot 12 to have a much more chill vibe with fewer people. I am a little surprised that more people don't come here because when the weather is nice, you cannot beat the outside area.Lot 12 does have a good looking light bites menu, but they can be low on ingredients some times. For example, my wedge salad arrived as a spinach salad and they did not warn me in advance. Check with your waiter that they have all the ingredients ;) I did really like the chipotle chicken quesadilla.Overall, Lot 12 is an excellent bar choice for rooftop views, outdoor seating, good drinks and light bites."

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!"

BENDT Distilling Co.

★★★★★ 4.5 (198) • $$

"Very surprised in the best way. We went in October for a girls night, and it was decorated so spooktastic! Candelabras EVERYWHERE! Cobwebs were the best I've seen. They should teach a class on how to put those up. It was dim and cozy and the drinks were great... lots of seasonal options and whiskey flights. Multiple seating options too... from barstools to leather chairs and sofas. We went on a Monday so food options were limited, but we had some dips and a charcuterie board. If you have a hearty appetite, wait for the weekend menu. If you're good with small plates, it's perfect for that!"

W XYZ Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7) • $$

"If your in Dallas, you need to come visit Nevine at the wxyz bar in the aloft hotel. Wonderful personality for the road weary warrior. Try the tater tots! But don't expect a cherry for the old fashioned."

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."

Roots Southern Table

★★★★★ 4.5 (566) • $$$

"Had an amazing time tucked away in the beautiful gem! Big fan of their friend chicken family style! Come hungry, feeds for a few with about 10 pieces half and half mixed in! Thickly coated and perfectly seasoned, each bite will melt your heart! Very cozy setting, with open kitchen! You can see their lovely staff cleaning, preparing, and serving all right there! Lovely area at the bar, with great service from Oscar! He is absolutely the best! Ensure to see him if you go! The deviled eggs have a big kick of spice and you will gobble it up! Cheers! I'll be back!"

Paschall Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (176) • $$

"What a fun place to go and hang out. The drinks are really good and just an overall cool place."

Cafe Americana

★★★★☆ 4.4 (89) • $$

"Cute ambiance as you walk in, service was great and the food satisfied!We ordered more than pictured and everything was tasty but I ordered a second round of Jerk empanadas so I was able to snap this photo before we devoured them!"

DAQ Korean Style Cuisine & Chicken

★★★★★ 4.6 (26)

"I stopped by for lunch over the weekend and was thoroughly impressed. I ordered the 3 plate combo with Beef Tartare, Pork Belly and Uni Bibimbap. I also added on the 6 piece wings.Both the Beef tartare and pork belly were prepared perfectly, and went great with the rice from the bibimbap. They gave a good amount of uni in the bibimbap.Now the wings are AMAZING! Crispy, great flavor, juicy on the inside and not overcooked. I will be back"

The Usual

★★★★☆ 4.2 (297) • $$

""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."

Bucket & Rope

★★★★★ 4.9 (28)

"This is a ten star review. This first and only visit ranks among my top ten dinners ever (esp when adjusted for cost). Everything was perfect.EVERYTHING. I want one in my home town right now, but until then, I'll stop here for every subsequent Dallas trip."

Egg Bar Brunch

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (270) • $$

"Excellent spot for breakfast sandwiches. Both the beverages and sandwiches are excellent. Excellent service! Sandwiches are huge, fresh, and the bread is beyond dreamy. Cold brew black sugar cinnamon super delightful. Niece got the Avocado Toast and gave it a chef's kiss. I got the Mushroom Swiss and it was SO YUMMY. Self order on screens BUT they have servers running food and cleaning. Every person working in this establishment was cheerful, happy, and helpful."

Texas Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (72) • $$

"Once we finally made it to this location, the food remained superior, as we've found all over our country at TX Roadhouses. The outstanding Service was appreciated. Our server, Jesse, was The Best! YELP-just get the DIRECTIONS correct on your site please!"

Jackdaw

★★★★☆ 4.4 (30)

"We love you ToniLet me tell you whyWe booked Marriott last minute on a trip passing through Dallas. Toni not only took our drink order, but made our cocktails to perfection.The food was excellent! Toni suggested that we go with the local beef. It was worth the extra $Toni gave us background on the local beef producers. She made our last minute stay into an experience. We are so happy that we stayed in the hotel for dinner.Sorry I don't have any dinner photos to attach. We were in the moment of just being. The restaurant is very nice and has a warm feel with beautiful personalties providing outstanding service."

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."

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."

Blackland Distillery

★★★★★ 4.5 (128) • $$

"From the moment we stepped into Blackland Distillery, it was clear that this wasn't your average spirit-slinging spot. Our guide, Brian, greeted us with a smile so bright it could've powered the distillery itself. He wasn't just a guide; he was a walking encyclopedia of everything ethanol, with a splash of stand-up comedian.Brian led us through the magical land of mashes and barrels, telling tales of grains and gins so enthralling, I half-expected to see a whiskey fairy pop out of a barrel. The samples flowed like a river of liquid gold, and each drink was a masterpiece. I mean, the cocktails were so good, I started feeling poetic. Or maybe that was just the vodka talking.The highlight? A tasty concoction of frozen orange juice ice cubes, the dream sickle ." It was like tasting the soul of an orange --bold, beautiful, and a tad rebellious. By the end of the tour, not only were we tipsy with delight, but we were also considering enrolling in Brian's unofficial school of booze wizardry.If you're looking for a sign to visit Blackland Distillery, this is it. Go for the spirits, stay for Brian's charm and leave as a slightly wiser (and definitely happier) connoisseur of fine liquors. Cheers to an unforgettably spirited adventure!"

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!"

The Liam's Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (60)

"It is a relatively new place.The decor is beautiful and service is very nice.My steak is cooked to perfection.Martini is refreshing and they even prepared card and gift for my friend as it is her birthday. No need to mention the complimentary cake with a fancy candle!"

Coffee & Cocktails at 76067

★★★★☆ 3.7 (38) • $$

"What a fun place. The service is outstanding. We were greeted right away. We had multiple people ask us if we need anything. The drinks we had the lemon, blueberry mule, which was outstanding. Got good music. It's a good vibe. There's a small market/general store type thing right next-door that sells all kinds of things you would expect to get in a Gift shop type environment. It's just overall the whole places outstanding if you're in mineral Wells definitely stop by."

The Reserve

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (118)

"First time going to the Reserve for dinner. We were greeted and seated on the patio immediately. We liked that the menu was a tablet and all the entrees and dishes had pictures so you can see what you were ordering! We ordered 2 margaritas and they were perfect. For dinner, we ordered tacos, a taco bowl and a pork chop dish that our server recommended. Everything was excellent! We also had ordered guacamole and queso for appetizers. Seriously - the food was so good, fresh and hot. It came out in a timely manner. We sat outside for a while as we enjoyed the weather and the atmosphere and of course the food, We highly recommend and will definitely be back!"

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."

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."

La Pizza & La Pasta at Eataly Dallas

★★★★☆ 3.7 (189) • $$

"La Pizza & La Pasta at Eataly Dallas is a genuine Italian restaurant located inside Eataly at NorthPark Center. The menu is full of Italy's most popular dishes and are all delicious. The one flaw is that it's expensive. I mean really expensive. If you want a legitimate Italian meal in a mall, this is your place.My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return)Atmosphere - La Pizza & La Pasta at Eataly Dallas is located in the heart of Eataly Dallas. Surrounded by a well-stocked Italian market, it's has a unique mix of curious shoppers and patrons who want to experience fine Italian cuisine. If on a weekend, it's very busy. Buzzing with people and great energy, you know this is as very popular spot. Be sure you make reservations! 1 Star.Service - The service didn't quite match the quality of the cuisine. Our server really didn't seem to be into serving us. She wasn't bad, she just didn't seem interested. The restaurant was very busy on my Saturday night visit so this may have contributed to the indifference. 1/2 Star. Food - I'm a fan of Neapolitan pizza, and so I ordered the Margherita "A RUOTA DI CARRO". The hearty dough was thin in the middle, allowing the San Marzano sauce and mozzarella and their flavors to shine. You'll want to use a fold method as the middle is thin. I paired this with the Fettucine al Burro. Wow. They will prepare this dish at your table. The fettuccine is mixed and stirred directly in a parmesan wheel. It's super rich and a perfect compliment to my pizza. I ended my meal with the Tiramisu. Nothing to add except that it was delicious. The only flaw in my meal was the bill. Expect to pay $50 per person for your meal. 1 1/2 Stars.Will I Return? - Yes. While La Pizza & La Pasta at Eataly Dallas is really good, it's also really expensive. Even so, I like how I can eat a delicious Italian meal inside of a mall. Yes, I'll be back. 1 Star."

Pearl

★★★★★ 4.6 (64)

"Sleek casual. Server on training. Lovely cuts of sashimi. Dainty bites of refined sushi. Most impressive this Saturday night were Pearl's fluffy and crisp "Japanese Fish & Chips" and decadent "Black Sesame Cheesecake"!CHEERS!"

Yama Izakaya & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (516) • $$

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

The Henley Kitchen and Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (9)

"We went yesterday for Easter brunch and my oh my were we wowed! The food was superb, the selection seemingly endless and there was a mimosa AND bloody mary bar. The bloody mary bar had approximately 30 toppings and the mimosa bar had 3 or 4 juices to choose from. But all that aside, what set us up for an amazing experience was the staff! Ashley, one of the managers was professional, kind and helpful. Every person working at the buffet, serving and the hostess were exemplary. We had a perfect experience from start to finish, I don't think I've ever been to a brunch with so much variety and so much amazing food. The ham was carved while you waited and outstanding and they even have a kid's buffet!!! It was all-around the perfect experience. My only request? Add some bagels or plain toast. I am a carb girl and really missed the bagel :) If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would. We had such a great time that we went back to see the evening bar staff for a night cap before we ended our day of Easter family time! Thank you to everyone we worked with for the BEST day and meal :)"
