Fort Worth is exploding

[TornACL]

west fw off camp bowie and the traffic circle. the majestic on hulen and camp bowie has a decent selection, but it doesnt rotate much. ive toyed with the idea of a craft beer store in fw for a while. would serve burgers too. but location is tough.

That liquor store in W7th next to Dirty Crow claimed to have a craft beer selection when it opened, but I stopped in there and was massively disappointed. Not just in the beer selection but in everything. Maybe they were just getting off the ground but I haven't bothered to return.

We need a Whip-In. Preferably within 1/10th of a mile of the 7th & University intersection. See what you can do.

[NOMAAA]

was it the bottle shop on crockett?

[TornACL]

was it the bottle shop on crockett?

Yes. I went in there right after they opened and their craft beer selection basically included a couple of sixers of Deschutes and a few Left Hand/New Belgium offerings. I was sad.

[NOMAAA]

thats dumb, but typical.

[Bobby Light]

anyone going to Brewfest on W7th?

Have you tried Salsa Fuego by the $#@!ty tattoo shop & the old Peony's? I've heard good things about it from multiple people.

its badass...their hamburgers are incredible...

[spystud13]

Sweet, guess it's officially on my list now.


Also, anyone seen a show at the old bowling alley/ice rink by the circle yet? Highly doubt that place will last too long.

[NOMAAA]

my parents went and there were $#@!roaches in the light fixtures. my friend ordered beef tacos and got a meat like substance that was not beef. i will not be going there.

[spystud13]

Well, those are certainly two conflicting reviews.

[TornACL]

I'm either going to hit up the Brewfest thing or I'm going to watch Final Four at the Rooster and let that roll right into the King Bucks at 10pm. If I go to the Rooster I'll probably go solo so come on by if you want to get your drink on.

[spystud13]

Big fan of Maren Morris, BTW...

[NOMAAA]

hell yeah, that will be a great show. her work with bosque brown was awesome (i think bosque brown was her stage name??) also calhoun is good.

I'm usually there at least once every two weeks or so, and I've never seen anything like that or had food that bad...

[NOMAAA]

maybe their experiences were the exception not the rule.

i thought salsa fuego was meh. went there after it was voted some best mezican food in fort worth or something. not bad and worth the visit and beef can probably tell you what to get.

one off the beaten path place i like is the thai restaurant close to sprouts at the strip mall on Hulen/I-20. it's damn good and pretty well priced.

let's be honest and admit that salsa fuego's food may be worth it but they aren't going to win any sanitary awards.

You should try happy bowl on white settlement west of cherry...best Thai food in dfw imo...and cheap too...lunch will run you $7.50

I have a couple of friends that can't stop talking about that place. I've been meaning to check it out.

i am scoring some for takeout this week. will also try ludosc's place as well. we make it over there for lunch from time to time. have either of you tried thai rice and noodles? i think it's on camp bowie before you get to the circle/roundabout. that place is damn good as well.

i used to go to Thai Rice and Noodles all the time, until i found Happy Bowl...haven't been back to Thai R & N since...

[Bobby Light]

brewfest was pretty cool, great turnout. they need to have more events like that more often because all the bars and restaraunts in the area were getting great business

[TornACL]

So that Studio 80 place next to the Grotto on University has a banner advertising "COMING SOON: BREAKFAST STARTING AT 6AM".

Because that's where I want to go to breakfast, a 1980s dance club.

Seems like such a bizarre and curious business decision that I almost want to check it out, if for nothing else than the train wreck factor.

[spystud13]

How did Sardine's fail? That place was there $#@!ing forever.

I only eat breakfast at 3am

Thats terrible. Watching the game at Buffalo Bros and its dead. Thinking of going else where but have an early flight to Louisville

[Dr Fear]

Ate at the new Mijo's Fusion on Magnolia today. Brisket tacos were great.

W7th. Patrizio's and all those other options took it down. Sardine's was great in it's original location. i went there with my wife several times when we were dating. cheap house bottle of wine and the 3 piece band was allsome. food was a bit overpriced imo but the place was original and had character.

Agreed on the reason. I just think it's funny because IMO Patrizio's sucks big time.

it's nothing special. it's not bad, but i enjoyed the $#@! out of sardine's for the single reason that it WAS NOT Patrizio's. whether Fort Worthians want to admit it, losing places like sardine's makes it more like dallas than not.

gagree.

I can't wait for Friday. Not going to the Ballpark, hell not even a Rangers fan. But I have the day off of work and I plan to sit outside somewhere with a cold one and watch Opening Day.

[Brad Wesley]

as long as you don't like the angels or yankees then please enjoy your beverages in peace.

[TornACL]

I went to Salsa Fuego for the first time last night.

I had the carne asada enchiladas and buddy had the beef fajitas. Pretty solid place. I don't know about best in the state and all that, but it was solid. Will probably make it into the rotation. Not a big fan of the mole salsa or whatever the hell that was that came with the chips. But I can look past that if the dinner's good.

[Brad Wesley]

went to woodshed fri night and it was packed. kind of a sausage fest in there but it doesn't seem like a big chick place with all that game meat. great place to have beverages on a nice day. it will be packed as $#@! during colonial.

[Beef]

Did anybody go to the 95.9 The Ranch last Wednesday night concert at Capital Bar? How was the crowd compared to the 8.0 location?

[Beef]

Help me down a business dinner for Wednesday Night. There will be 10 people and we are in the sporting good business. Most of the party is staying around 35 and 820, so I was thinking about the Stockyards. We took a couple of these guys to H3 last time, so I am looking for something a little different. This is a very causal group made up mostly older guys, so nothing fancy for these guys.

My boss suggested steak or Mexican, so I thought about Joe T's. I am not the biggest fan, but out-of-towners love it and the weather is suppose to be awesome to sit on the patio this week. The cash only and no reservations suck, but should not be a problem for a 6pm dinner on a Wednesday.

Where you go? West 7th or down town is an option too.

You pretty much already have your answer.

I would choose La Familia over Joe T's...I think Joe T's is highly overrated...

I am familiar with La Familia and use to like it, but the last two meals I have had in there have been well below average. I think Joe T's is a better fit because of the patio, but just have to make sure I have enough cash on me to cover the meal since its cash only at Joe T's.

[benson32]

Have been to La Familia and also thought it was average at best. I'd take them to the patio at Joe T's.

7th is dead on Wednesdays and the restaurants aren't particularly casual. May be better with the weekly ranch concert series at capital.

[Fudbelty]

This is just me but I have never understood the fascination over Joe T's. I prefer Los Vaqueros if I'm in the Stockyards or Uncle Julios if I'm not.

[NOMAAA]

food at joe t's sucks. its popular because it has good outdoor atmosphere and has somehow gotten to be one of the fw restaurants that everyone loves to go to in spite of itself. like railhead.

[Surly Bevo]

My rehearsal dinner was at Joe Ts but yea the food is just so so.

agree to all of this...including the railhead part...i hardly ever go there, and i can see the place from my front yard...

I'm there every Thursday and the bartender said it was a decent crowd but they were expecting more. I'm sure it will get more popular as it goes on.

They have recently expanded the patio and I think it's one of the best patios in fort worth. It bottles my mind that there's not a bigger happy hour crowd there

[spystud13]

And apparently Copeland plays next door after the main show is over. Can't believe the 8.0/Saucer owner $#@!ed that deal up.

[Brad Wesley]

not sure why it's so hard to get people to understand nobody goes to joe t's for the food. i'm going there tonight for a function, not because i'm seeking the best mexican cuisine in the southwest. the margaritas are great and get you trashed. chicks show up and look incredibly slutty. the patio is something no other restuarant i've ever been to can offer. enjoy it for what it is, don't try to make it something it's not.

[skipperj]

Are they just slutty, or are they slores?

[Brad Wesley]

and count me in on the "railhead is pretty meh". my brother-in-law would hit you in the face with a shovel if you told him it was just average cue. i used to be all about angelo's but the last 2 times i've had the rib plate there has been a $#@!load of cartilage in my meat. right now cooper's is my go to.

[Brad Wesley]

Are they just slutty, or are they slores?

i guess the only way to find out is to bed one of them or at least give it a shot.
