Drinks and Nightlife
If you enjoy a good glass of wine and a cool atmosphere, this is your place! It's one of our favorites on Magnolia Ave, just a few blocks from our loft. This place has a laid back, hip vibe. We've gone dressy and we've gone totally casual - either works!

It's actually not just your "usual" bar... they have the most interesting and delicious drinks and a cool atmosphere. The bartenders are good at helping you decide what to order when you can't decide. You have to be looking for the place or you'll miss it - door is set back a bit and sign is metal on brick and easy to miss.

Wine bar at it's best. This place has an extensive selection of great wines! They have really good small plates to go along with your wine. And if you're bringing along friends who aren't into wine, they also have a selection of craft beers. Bonus - almost all wine and beer options are available for retail purchase as well, so take some home!

Although this coffee spot isn't in walking distance (unless you're up for a good walk!), it's one of my favorite coffee shops in town. On the recently revitalized part of Main Street (revitalization on-going!) just south of downtown, this is a great place to grab a coffee and an incredible HOMEMADE dessert like cookies or scones. The owners are super friendly and they've created a really sleek atmosphere.

Great place for a casual lunch - you have to have the gorgonzola fries (if you like gorgonzola). They also have an EXCELLENT dinner menu. They are known for their great burgers! A lot of weekends they will have live jazzy music in the bar/dining area. We love this place - day or night!

They have the option of outdoor seating right along Magnolia, and they are open later on some nights than a lot of other places in this area. This place went through a management change last year so we are hoping the food and margaritas still will not disappoint.

So many good things about this place - food, drinks, and atmosphere! Very eclectic, very laid back. Indoor and outdoor seating. But most of all - best coffee menu (try the cafe freddo if you like cold coffee drinks!). We also love their kombucha (flavors vary by day). The food is EXCELLENT for both lunch and dinner! They have wine and beer selections too.

Don't let the storefront deceive you! It took us a while to try this place out and we're sure glad we did. This is the place to go for a good steak and a nice glass of wine. Although they do serve other great dishes as well! They have some of the best seafood options around and quite a few other delicious specialty dishes. In good weather you can sit on the side patio if you like.

I almost hesitate to highlight this local gem for fear that you might beat me to a table! It's a tiny little space - the epitome of cozy! Only about 6 or 7 small tables inside - some 4 top, some 2-3 top. In nice weather they also serve on their outdoor patio that provides for great people watching on Magnolia Ave. This is legit Italian food - they even accept Euros for payment! The owner is Italian and most often there. Can't go wrong here.
NEED TO KNOW: CASH ONLY; BRING YOUR OWN WINE; CALL OR WALK BY TO SEE THEIR SCHEDULE - they usually aren't open during the week until Thursday and their schedule is sporadic at times.

Hands down one of my favorite new eateries in FW! (Pronounced Thee-nees.) This is not Tex-Mex! This is Mexico City style Mexican food and it's delicious! Their craft cocktail menu is also on point! Whether you like tequila or mezcal, they have something tasty for you. The main dining area is so warm and inviting with a beautiful bar. You also have to check out the upstairs bar and rooftop deck with a great view of downtown FW and a super cool vibe.

This place is iconic in Fort Worth! You can't beat the atmosphere - the place is huge with both indoor and outdoor seating. Even if the line is long - and it usually is - it's amazing how quickly they get groups seated. We always send someone to the bar to grab one of their famous margaritas (or a pitcher to share) while we wait and I can't remember ever finishing a drink in line. There is no menu - they will give you your options. (My husband prefers fajitas, I like the traditional plate.) TAKE CASH or they have an ATM onsite.
