With free parking, cheap cover prices and affordable drinks, Tomcats West is one of Fort Worth’s most hassle-free music venues. The large building sits just off of Interstate 30, with very little surrounding it. Hard, loud guitars and punishing drums blare through the venue’s top-notch surround sound speakers, pumping up the young-ish crowd. The venue […]

Mussels come in many compelling varieties, their bread-sopping […]
In Oak Cliff lives a little dive bar that doesn’t take itself too seriously. With one pool table, a small bar and a short wooden deck out back, Tradewinds is a neighborhood bar full of regulars who argue that Oak Cliff will soon be as safe as Uptown. Some nights the bar will serve up […]
This is the place where all Dallas rock music fans have been at one time in their lives. Visiting Trees is like a rite-of-passage for area high-school seniors, who have assured their parents that they’re safe and sound at a friend’s house. It’s a place with great history and legend, like Kurt Cobain’s infamous fight […]
Trick Pony is a side-hustle bar of Marlow MXM but has a completely different energy. While it can get rowdy on busy weekends, it often displays characteristics of a more mild-mannered middle child. While the interior design has a harsh industrial feel, the cocktails are anything but. As they like to say, this isn’t a […]

Off the beaten path off Lowest Greenville is a favorite lunch and drink spot for Dallasites that really just wants the city to kick back and relax. The Truck Yard’s food menu is short: Philly cheesesteak, sandwich and/or nachos. But what more do you really need to eat at a bar with so much space […]

The thing that sets Two Corks and a Bottle apart from other wine bars in Dallas is the location from where the wine is fermented and bottled. At Two Corks, it’s all done right there in the Uptown shop. It only sells house-made wines, which sounds like a turn-off; people tend to put their trust […]

If there’s a dive in Uptown, Uptown Bar & Grill is it. For nearly two decades, the bar has offered cheap drink specials and good burgers to the Uptown set. Neon beer lights cast a campy red hue over the thick tiled floor, on the outskirts of which sit tables where patrons order drinks and […]
Beat-up old tables, an inviting large patio and very cool shuttered booths make this shabby, homey little dive bar a cozy home away from home. Good beer selection, decent pub fare. Overall, not a bad place to bring a couple of friends for a laid back session of catch-up.
Fort Worth’s bike-friendly Fairmount Neighborhood on West Magnolia is one of the hipper places to hang out in Cowtown, thanks in part to The Usual, one of the few bars west of Dallas to offer a drink menu of classic and Prohibition-era cocktails. The bar’s interior has a modern, minimalist design with raw wood walls […]
You’d never expect music like this in a restaurant like this. Sure, lots of burger places tuck an acoustic guitar balladeer in the corner who plays Coldplay covers and largely goes unnoticed, but Vagabond curates real artists. When they play, they command the entire room. If the music is not your thing, simply head out […]

If Veritas Wine Room’s rustic, old-world décor and dimly lit, relaxed atmosphere make the wine bar and retail shop feel more like a pub than a wine room, it’s by design. Planned as a “VinoPub,” Veritas was opened in the summer of 2008 on Henderson Avenue. Boasting a revolving list of 350 labels of wine, […]
Considering its location in the upscale Knox-Henderson area, Vickery Park is refreshingly unpretentious. Whether you hang out on the well-worn porch, watch a game on one of several big screens in the main room, belly up to the spacious bar or settle into one of the couches in the lounge area, you’ll feel at home. […]
Since 2008, this sleek Henderson Avenue restaurant has been a spot for the young social set to show off some new threads, throw back specialty cocktails and sip on craft beer. The food is all over the map, but it’s good, leaning on Asian, Middle Eastern, Spanish and American flavors. Picture a hunk of celery […]
