1919 Hemphill

Arguably Fort Worth’s most DIY music venue, 1919 Hemphill sits in one of the city’s more neglected neighborhoods, which locals call “Near South Side.” The warehouse-type space is a success among DFW’s artsy co-op venues, and has been since 2002. The two-story building is run by an organization of volunteers who throw shows featuring local […]

Aardvark

Located around the corner from Texas Christian University, it’s no surprise this rock club has Greek appeal. But housed in the same historic strip that was home to The Hop and Rail, it books the best locals in the Golden Triangle, plus the occasional road show.

Angelo’s Bar-B-Que

The brisket is melt-in-your mouth tender, its flavor rich and smoky, and all you need to say as you approach the counter is “sliced” or “chopped”. The lightning-fire hands behind the counter will take care of the rest. The beer is cold and the mugs are huge. Who could ask for more?

Bass Performance Hall

Since when did downtown Fort Worth become a European transport? When the Bass Hall opened. This uniquely beautiful concert hall is like nothing else in Dallas or Fort Worth. With five levels of seating, be cautious not to sit too high in the sky (painted ceiling) or you might be airsick.

Billy Bob’s Texas

Its building was originally an open air barn built over a century ago to hold cattle for the Fort Worth Stock Show. Since then it has served as an airplane factory and department store before arriving at its true calling in 1981, opening its doors at Billy Bob’s Texas, self-billed as “the world’s largest honky […]

Blue Mesa Grill

The meal to have at this area favorite is the Mexican breakfast buffet. Families in their post-church Sunday best line up for the omelet bar, and Tex-Mex offerings such as the chicken and mushroom enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce and waffles. The rest of the menu, with as many ingredients locally sourced as possible, is […]

Kimbell Art Museum

Permanent collection includes masterpieces from ancient to modern times, including works from El Greco, Picasso, Matisse, Rembrandt and C

Byblos

If there’s a better lunch buffet to be had in Fort Worth, we haven’t found it. Byblos lays out a delicious spread of Lebanese and Middle Eastern specialties in the Stockyards, including chicken roasted in lemon juice and herbs; a savory rice dish, Dajaj Bil Riz, with chunks of chicken, finely ground sirloin and a […]

Cafe Modern

This brisk and beautifully stark cafe, tethered to The Modern Museum of Art in Fort Worth, skillfully frames a simple menu flung with international influences in Southwestern flare. It’s a comfortable respite from the head-scratching cryptic of modern art.

Campestre Chula Vista

Campestre Chula Vista, the new restaurant by the family responsible for Revolver Taco, is located in what looks like a giant cartoon castle at the top of a hill. Painted in hot pink with electric blue accents, it looks like the home of the Care Bears, or a miniature golf complex. But the unusual facade […]

Chuy’s

It’s been said that nothing good comes from someone or something named Chuy. This Tex-Mex restaurant chain nips that adage in the bud. Decorated in bright colors and kitschy send-ups of all things Tex-Mex, the first Chuy’s began offering popular favorites with a side of The King-Elvis Presley, that is-in 1982, when Mike Young and […]
