50 Best Bars near Watauga

“Candace was our server & was personable & efficient! Party of 4 w/3 loving our food & drinks. Hubby got the chimichanga, it was huge & he loved it?‼️Restaurant was not busy @ dinner time which allowed for talking. We’d go back✅“

“Decent little pool hall. Lots of TV's. Good chill atmosphere. Tables are quarters only, which is usually cheaper, but know this before you go in. They have a change machine on site. Luckily I had a dollar bill and some loose change in the vehicle.“

“This Chili's is preferred to one closer as it seems to have a more attentive staff. There was another table that was seated after mine & was served quicker. Not sure why. All items ordered came out hot. I ordered the Margarita Chicken. Very good. And, as usual, a bowl of chips & salsa was devoured. The restaurant appeared clean. Would recommend.“

“Our server was wonderful, I don't remember her name unfortunately. The salmon with creamy leeks was really delish. The trout was good too. The menu options were limited, which should make it difficult to go wrong on anything. Drinks were good as well.“

“Jamie was the best coach for explaining form and tips for success! This is my 5th time axe-throwing and she gave pointers nobody else ever explained. She's just awesome like that!We had a Groupon and it was easy to book online.The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. Music playing. Drinks for purchase. We were fortunate enough to have 2 lanes for 2 of us - I guess because it wasn't full.We'd highly recommend this place.“

“Had the Korean chicken sandwich with a peach bourbon smash. The sandwich was delicious. The fries were okay. Food came out quickly and service was solid. Marcos was good. The drink was quite refreshing and a good experience overall. They have a lovely outside area that I'd recommend going to at night for a pleasant experience.“

“Napa Thai has become one of our favorite local restaurants that we frequent often. We have never had a bad meal or service here. Patti & Ben are excellent servers and Keith who supports them. The owner, First, has created a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy on a date night or evening out with friends. We went on Valentine's Day and they had a set menu which was amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend!“

“Hush sushi was awesome! Loved every aspect of it. Food, service, ambiance, location were all perfect for our short time in Southlake.We had the sashimi omakase and the nigiri omakase. Both of which were delicious! We also got the Rangoons which were absolutely perfect.Awesome spot, highly recommend!“

“Visiting from Australia 2 months ago we fortunately stumbled across Pearl's Saloon at the other end of the Stockyards. Tim, Joey and bar staff welcomed us with cold drinks and shared history of this great establishment with recent renovations carefully completed.The Country music artists that we enjoyed capped off a wonderful experience at this venue.“

“We've been going to Asian Nights for years and the food quality has remained exceptionally high all that time. Mom and Dad are in the kitchen and their decades of Asian cooking experience shows. The food always comes out hot and super fast. The flavors are so good because of the quality of ingredients and the care with which the food is prepared.“

“I was with my boyfriend last night craving a sub and we decided to go to subway in the last 15 minutes and they said they were closed when they actually close at 10, but thanks to them we came across this awesome place, the service was great, the food was great, and who doesn’t love the 420 vibes?!? We definitely will be coming back!“

“We went with some friends last night. They have been before but it was our first time checking it out. We had so much fun! Great music, nachos were very tasty and the drink menu is very good and not too pricey! We had green beer which is made with their blonde house beer and I loved it! We also tried several of their whiskeys and vodka. We ended up buying a couple to bring home with us. My fiancé loved it so much he even bought a TShirt. We can’t wait to go back again. This may turn in to being our regular spot!“

“Any of their margaritas would be great with their chamoy bomb! We came by & my friends got their micheladas the 1st time; I tried their drinks & was so glad we were going back the next day because it was so good!!! So we came back & I got a strawberry margarita with the chamoy bomb which was so good! Ana is so sweet! She helped me feel more comfortable ordering & my friends were also so happy we had such a nice worker/person helping us. If you’re ever in Fort Worth looking for some great micheladas, Casa Rita Margaritas to Go LLC is your place!!!“

“The entire establishment is very well organized, very clean for a barcade and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Great cocktail selection and the pinball selection is fantastic. Really great place to spend an evening or weekend.“

“A cigar smokers paradise. The basement is a speak easy make sure you know the password to get past the doorman. Bar on the first floor and a cigar lounge in the penthouse. You can get the same craft cocktails on all the floors. The lounge had great drinks and reasonably priced cigars. The ambiance was just right foe conversation and music that wasnt blaring. I will definitely be back when I'm in town.“

“Kailey T. was our server and she was absolutely phenomenal! She took such care of our food allergies, making sure to note them on the order and reviewing our food with us personally. She accommodated the many requests of our family of five with grace and ease. She was absolutely amazing to have as a server! We will definitely be back again!“

“Cute decor, welcoming atmosphere and great customer service! Bartender Sydney made greater suggestions to accommodate my citrus allergy. Gave four stars instead of five just because they don't offer Apple martinis which are my favorite! Other than that great place for Saturday afternoon hangout!“

“Like a Rhinestone Cowboy! Gettin cards and letters from people I don't even know! This place is all that glitters in Cowtown! If you're lookin' for the next best place to get some Honky Tonk along the Stockyards is Rhinestone Saloon. This place is pretty great- there's a large stage up front. Plenty of room to do some boot scootin'. They've even got people who all do the line dance when the proper song comes blastin' over the jukebox. The band was dirt road music, which went well with Lone Star Beer and a bit o' bourbon. They have a nice porch that overlooks the stockyard that makes for a great place to get a nightcap. In the back, there was food served up with a foodtruck that was doing swift business for all the hungry country and western fans. Yeeeeehaw! "Like a rhinestone cowboyRiding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoLike a rhinestone cowboyGetting cards and letters from people I don't even knowAnd offers comin' over the phone" - Glenn Campbell“

“Burgers with a twist. Always 2 specials going on. The cheese fries surprise is a must for first timers, but make sure you have 3-4 people because it is hugeVegetarian options: You can get a veggie or impossible burger on almost all the burgers.Parking: There is a small parking lot. Otherwise it's paid street parking. 7th Street can get crowded and busy“

“Moxies sets the bar high for neighboring restaurants and is a great example of what what makes dining in special- great food, mood setting atmosphere and service that is attentive/friendly/cares/presents well. I love that the staff are all very professionally dressed (there is definitely a specific attire aesthetic which I think is achieved tastefully). Moxies has a pretty large space and turn tables quickly even when busy, which is often. I've walked in and been told the wait is 30 minutes and get seated a lot sooner. Worth the wait either way. Their menu isn't too robust which is nice because you end up finding your favorites. Two things that I love and crave often - the sushi cones and the seared ahi ginger salad. Both are a textural experience full of punchy and delicious Asian flavors. Just yum!“

“Mark was a wonderful bartender. He was our first bartender there and he was fantastic. However, we went a third time (3/22/24) and there was a woman. I unfortunately did not get her name. She served me and told me that I was being too loud. I apologized saying that I am from a loud family. I’m sensitive and cried out of embarrassment. Whenever my friend arrived and asked me how I was. I’m told them that I was told I was too loud. The bartender then came back and accused me too of acting like I was 12 and Making her a villain. I assured her that I never spoke a bad word about her just repeated that she told me I was too loud. I was embarrassed. I didn’t feel welcome and we attempted to pay but she said to not worry about the drink.I don’t understand what happened or why she was mad that I told my friend what she told me . I no longer feel welcome at my favorite whiskey bar. My fiends tried talking to her to understand the friction and called her out on her rudeness simply by asking her why she was taking digs at me. They didn’t appreciate the situation.She didn’t have to keep insulting me/putting me down. I just needed a moment to process my embarrassment I already apologized for.“

“Went here for the first time. No special occasion, the atmosphere was nice, bathrooms clean. Our server was very attentive but not in our face, water was refilled frequently without us asking. The drinks are strong lolz I got tipsy after the first one, the French onion soup was amazing and our steaks were perfectly cooked. Overall a great experience, I would definitely come again.“

“Good upscale pizza spot, even if it is a bit chaotic. Once you finally find parking in this patch of Southlake retail and walk up, the fair-sized covered patio can be pretty inviting. However, if you brave the indoor area, you'll feel like you've stumbled into a college town pizza pub for the middle-aged. The wooden interior and high ceilings combine for a noisy environment once it starts getting busy. After being seated, we watched servers and food runners scurry around from table to table, trying to keep up while simultaneously missing an opportunity to greet us and get drinks started (took a good 5 minutes to reveal who was working our table).But honestly, these are minor gripes in the big picture here. Once they arrived, our server was friendly and quick on the drinks when they weren't rushing between tables. We opted for the family dinner, which is both a good deal and a lot of leftovers if you have 4 people or less. We added a meatball appetizer, and the seasoned meat and marinara went great with the perfectly toasted bread. The pretzel that came with the dinner package was okay, but honestly felt more like a giant, twisted breadstick (the queso that we paid extra for didn't do it any favors, either). The farm style salad was actually really delicious, probably helped by coating the whole bowl with ranch. This is also the point of the dinner when we realized that we needed to hurry up and finish our first course(s), as table real estate was VERY limited for us, and a big pizza was soon to be en route. The Classic Rossa came out piping hot, but still soft enough that toppings were hanging on for dear life as I scarfed each delicious slice. If you're an older pizza fan, or just a family that's had enough CiCi's for a while, you'll like the step up in class this pizza place provides.Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza and salads“

“Stumbled upon this place last night wanting to try a new spot around my house. Found it on Google and walked on over. I'm usually very picky of seafood from small and new places. Walking in I was greeted right away (later we found out it was the owner). I had a margarita which was good.I ordered the seafood ceviche which was amazing. They served it with saltines, but I asked for tostadas and they gave them to me no problem. It was really really good. Then the mixed fajitas came out piping hot with some homemade tortillas. The homemade salsa was amazing also with the chips.Will definitely be coming back trying more thing and especially once they start late night hours and live bands.“

“My first visit here was during a pop up they had for Christmas and was super cool. Bought a couple of the tiki mugs, I stopped by a couple of weeks ago when I was in town again on a Monday night and the bartender was "bald nick" apparently multiple Nick's work there. He was awesome, gave super service and was personable, how that guy doesn't have his own bar is beyond me, he was that good. The drinks were extremely well priced and equally as good. Can't wait for my next trip back home!“

“This unique restaurant shares property with the Amber Room. The name of the restaurant is Wishbone & Flint. My wife and I had a great time. We order the same dish, a fantastic fillete mignon accompanied with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir from Williamette Valley branded Inscription. Mr Chad served our table with elega ce and good taste. We are glad we decided for this joint. I recommend it.“

“Slow service... Kind of takes forever for everything. It was our first time here and the entrance is confusing. Also the valet doesn't tell you to validate your parking and neither did our waiter. There was only 3 other tables aside from ours but everything was slow. They bring out Champagne complimentary but we don't drink. Still nice though. I don't think we'll be back, our favorite and usual is capital grille but we were trying to give somewhere else a shot. They also need a dessert menu it's terrible they have to recite even dessert and my the second one you've already forgot what they had. Some of us are visual. Definitely not good business in they sense“

“We went to The Post at River East to see Davy Knowles. The venue was intimate for an impressive acoustic set. (We've seen Knowles the last three times he's been in DFW, and the acoustic show was our favorite.) Service was especially good -- warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food good; we only had a Pinot to drink, but it was more than respectable. A great evening! Thank you!!“

“Had so much fun. The band D.O.B. did a great job. Found out they perform every Friday night. I love how it's a live band on one side and a DJ on the other side of the club so that you can enjoy either side. The food was good, and I loved the fried pickles. I will definitely be back. Oh yeah and the ladies restroom has 2 women in there who can do your nails, feet, lashes, give you lotion, wipes, sanitary items, poopouri, and anything you need to keep you from being musty.“

“What a great place to enjoy good food and company! Everything was fantastic from the seating to the service. Our waiter Jon made a lot of great recommendations and checked on us regularly to ensure we were enjoying our meal/drinks. Definitely would recommend this spot to anyone who wants to eat some scrumptious pizza and have a pleasant experience.“

“It is always such a pleasure to spend time here with friends. It is always such a calm and cozy atmosphere. The drinks are actually amazing, probably one of the best! They are very consistent with their flavors. I'm never disappointed!“

“Love Grandma's. Cool full service bar with great music on the weekends. Kendall and Alayna (sp?) are both great, as are the other bartenders whose names escape me atm. Awesome tiny original Asian restaurant next door, The Pantry, will deliver. Dog friendly inside. Tell them that the movie they have on is terrible for extra snark.“

“If it’s a nice day, you can’t find a better spot in SL. Outdoor seating and roll top doors to bring the outside in. Highly recommend the half price wine by the glass. Had the skewers and mushroom fondue. Both delightful. Big bar area (which is my preference). Great addition to the SL town center.“

“The owner and servers at Tam Tam Zing welcomed us with friendly service, delicious recommendations, and an incredible feast of sambusas, chicken wings, plantains, and smoked goat. I can't wait to come back soon to try more delicious Cocktails during their very affordable happy hour, and other unique dishes off of their pretty large menu! The vibe was nice with a good crowd on Saturday night, and it'll be fun to check out the back pool table area and patio when it's cooler out.“

“This establishment truly is a taste of Texas. From the barbecue, to the dancing and live music, and the larger than life personality and atmosphere of the restaurant as a whole, if you come here once, you want to come again. It truly is an unforgettable experience whether you're a repeat customer or you've never been before!Parking: Parking lot was clean“

“This place was great ?.The service staff was incredible!very inviting!I enjoyed the band that played last weekend as they cover for Randy Roger's. I mean great band choices here.All the toilets in the women's restroom stopped working however, the staff was so kind to re-route everyone to accommodate the occurrence. When the band paused for break, the DJ played great tunes, everyone. I mean, everyone loved to hoop, holler and dance too.Lots of cowboys here ladies! ?I met so many new friends too and enjoyed a great evening with great people!“

“Tori, our server was a pro. She would swoop in and switch out our drinks and come back to check on us at the right time. She knew how to chitchat but not too much. And walked us through the app sign up process. Love that this little gem is 2 min from my house and I can bring my sweet little puppy too!“

“Would definitely return. The food was great quality. Service was phenomenal. We had the table service. We'll have to go back for the hibachi experience. They don't have a happy hour at this location; which is disappointing because other locations offer happy hour.“

“A very laid back local beer bar. They started brewing their own small batch beers, earlier this year. The other night I tried their red, and it was excellent. They have weekly trivia, and bands from jazz to rock on the weekends. The crowd is an unpretentious mix of Pantego and beyond locals, leaning towards a more mature crowd. Also so of the friendliest bartenders you will find. The have about 35-40 drink options that rotate somewhat. You are apt to find anything from a apple brandy barrel aged imperial stout, to a blackberry mead, and plenty in between.“

“The atmosphere is very intimate and doesn’t feel like a restaurant. The pork tenderloin tostadas were delicious but extremely overpriced. The beef short rib was 10/10, the chicken fried steak was massive and cooked well but had almost no flavor, 4/10. They don’t serve liquor unless you own a liquor locker there so that was a bummer. Overall it was a good time.“

“Tried a Black Spider grog and a Zombie. Loved our tikitender Hannah. She was knowledgeable about drinks and what to get. This place is reminiscent of Golden Tiki in a faint way. I love this place. Strong drinks and tasty too We will be back on yhe next few days we are in Texas. Bety relaxing. Beachy, also reminds me of the Reef on Palm Springs. I LOVE IT HERE.“

“This is a great first time experience for me and my children. Customer service was on point. The atmosphere was awesome, and it's pretty cool because they have games all around the area, so while you're waiting, you can actually play other games, which we thought was a cool period must try.“

“A friend and I tried this bar and grill for the first time and absolutely loved the atmosphere and vibe! The owner was very friendly, the Wednesday night karaoke was fun and amazing to watch, and the service and drinks were top-notch! If you're looking for a fun bar in Keller, try Backstreet out!!“

“Nice Irish-ish pub in downtown Fort Worth. Only found 2 Irish drinks, Guinness and Smithwickes. I was horrified to see a Guinness being poured like a normal beer, no angle on the glass, no wait time and they kept scraping off the head. I was horrified so much I had to leave as it was like scraping my soul and culture out of the top of the glass. If they learned to pour a Guinness then it would have been a very nice experience, instead it's a horror story I'll be telling my family about. But....if you can believe it, it got worse. We ordered a Belgian Duvel and after pouring they scooped out the foam with a spoon. My Belgian colleague was in tears. Great pub, great staff, just need the little bit of training on how to pour a non-american beer or stout.“

“They have a really thin crust pizza. Good size and value for the price. Fried cheese sticks were decent with a good cheese pull on the mozzarella. Pizza by the slice available. Bar is next door to the pizza section. Besides pizza, looks like a nice selection of Italian pasta, entrées, subs, and desserts to choose from. When busy, parking can be tough.“

“I love the variety of drinks offerings and the variety of sizes available to purchase. I find myself visiting this place more in the summer as right now now it's just too cold for frozen drinks.Adult hot, chocolate, eggnog, or hot totties are recommended for this cold weather“

“We hosted our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at the Back Room and had a great time. Samantha was very helpful in setting everything up and working with us to make sure we and our guests were well taken care of. They even helped us get pizzas that worked for our guests' dietary needs. We had a party of 28 and it was plenty of space for us without feeling crowded, but we were all able to be in the same space together and celebrate. If you're looking for a place to host a get together or dinner/celebration, this is one I recommend!“

“Very cool place to grab a bite or have a beer! We had the Big Dipper and the Paco Bowl. Both were very good. The Paco Bowl was one of the best rice bowls I've had. The service was great too! The place is decorated with many plates, and each has the name of someone that is part of the UFO Club... they've had over 200 beer Tastings! Would definitely return!“

“Great little dive bar with great music and a fantastic staff! Aaron is bartender Monday night for open mic and Andrew is on for the campfire jam on Wednesday! Great prices. Excellent service. Phenomenal music and artists pop in both nights! Come join us!“

“This is the best bar! The mini bowling is so fun and there are so many other games like Mario Cart for up to four people, darts, and basketball connect four. It's a smaller place so it's great for reserving the whole place for parties.“
