Intro from

r u o r o t i d e

L

etâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be clear. Our annual Best Of issue is just for fun.

Unlike the Republican debates for the most powerful office in the world. Oh, wait. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fun, too. Eyewateringly hilarious, in fact. So let me rephrase: Our annual Best Of Fort Worth does not offer as much rolling-onthe-ground hilarity as Trump and Co. but is still pretty fun.

Check out the data.

During the month-long campaign, thousands of votes tumbled into our offices via e-mail and snail-mail. In scientific terms, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shit-ton of mouse clicking and handwriting. (Fort Worthians, apparently, are really passionate about their margaritas, brunches, and coffee.) Over the years, imitators have arisen. The Star-Telegram does something about burgers or something, and the good folks at Fort Worth, Texas magazine evidently loved our contest so much they stole our name, even though our first Best Of issue came out four years before Fort Worth, Texas magazine was even founded.

But enough italicized passive aggressiveness. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get down to the business of celebrating everything that makes our city awesomesauce. The cuisine, the culture, the personalities, the stories, the funk â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even or especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not from here, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be impressed. If only we had our own NFL franchise. I can see it now.

The Fort Worth Nighthawks (since â&#x20AC;&#x153;Panthersâ&#x20AC;? is already taken).

Our team colors would be black on black, and our logo would be the silhouette of an F-117A in â&#x20AC;&#x153;gray dragonâ&#x20AC;? hue. And we would be in the AFC to prevent North Texas from turning into a weeklong drunkfest twice a year. Anyway. Where was I? The 2016 Republican candidates are crazy. Right. But! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them get ya down. Rather, take a look at our 2015 Best Of issue. Savor it. Save it. With all of these great places to get a bite, see a show, dig some art, catch a band, or have a drink, you know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living in a city thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing more dynamic, more cosmopolitan, and more progressive every day.

And that has to make you feel good. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anthony Mariani

On the corner of Montgomery Street and Lovell Avenue sits an unassuming red brick building. Step inside, though, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re transported back to simpler times, when barbers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too rushed to chat up customers while offering leisurely haircuts, shaves, and beard trims. Here, the shaves are done the old-fashioned way, with a hot towel, lather, and a straight razor.

which has been offering a staggering selection of handguns and rifles to gun enthusiasts since 1972. Held about every six weeks, the Original is where new and used firearms can be bought, sold, or traded, along with ammunition, scopes, and reloading equipment. The prices arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t super-low, but the selection is vast, making the trip worth the $9 admission and city parking fees. And if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Uncle Sam all up in your grill, you can buy a gun from vendors who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t licensed dealers, meaning you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to endure a background check or waiting period.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something cool about the smell of fresh wood, and you get that at Nayfaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because not only is the furniture here made from solid wood, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfinished.

Since we love finishing furniture, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a plus. You can rub your stains in to get just the color you want or paint that bookcase to match the couch. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like finishing furniture, Nayfaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will do it for you.

There are never any contracts or signup fees. Dues range from $21.65 (for 13-to-17-year-olds) to $75.78 for a family of four or more.

In addition to always reaching deeper to finish that last rep, the good folks at MetroFlex also reach out, helping feed and clothe the homeless in and around East Lancaster Avenue and offering youth boxing and MMA to atrisk youth.

Fort Worth has got a pretty boring city council these days. Where is the infighting? Where is the out-fighting? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve elected nine jars of mayonnaise to rule us. At least District 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s councilperson Ann Zadeh supports all the right things: progressive urban design, better public transportation, complete streets, and every other cool project someone with a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in city and regional planning might support. She also does yoga, probably owns a hacky sack, and likely knows her way around a craft beer menu. Sure, we wish sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go full Jerry Springer on her fellow council folk once in a while, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a qualified, sharp, caring, and genuinely enthusiastic councilmember as a consolation prize.

when it comes to local media coverage (at least since the Stanley Cup years of the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s), the fans in Victory Green at American Airlines Center tend to be super-friendly, as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all part of a special club. Speaking of clubs, the Jack Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old No. 7 Club is always packed with hotties, even if your knowledge of hockey is limited to he-shootshe-scores. Ticket prices are reasonable enough to keep heat-seeking wing-people up for the drive eastward, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that the team is coming off a 2015-16 playoff run.

Criminal defense has, we swear, never looked as sexy as it does when the local boy next door who became an attorney comes screeching down Main Street at us in his $400 blue suit. The absurdist homemade commercials that made Wilson a YouTube sensation were a risk for a young lawyer in a conservative town, but we admire the set of stones it took to stake a claim and see it through â&#x20AC;Ś that, and his perfect hair. His indignant, impassioned gesticulations on our behalf make the men in our lives seem listless and vapid. Also, he looks like he probably has great abs.

Hollinger may be the most unusual on-air personality and music director that The Ranch has ever employed. His eclectic taste in music means that, while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going to hear the Randy Rogers Band and Pat Green five times an hour, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also going to hear the Quaker City Night Hawks and American Aquarium. The Stephenville native began working in radio when he was in high school and started at The Ranch in the unattractive late-evening weekend shift, where he would sneak in a few deep cuts and tracks by news artists on his show, The Vault. People liked what they were hearing. In no time, Hollinger went from the nighttime shift to drive time and then to music director duties. He also brought back tracks by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and other core country musicians who have been phased out of most of the current radio market. The way he tells it, the heart and soul of the music matters more than genre.

This yoga movement was started earlier this summer by Fort Worth yogi Amber Shumake in response to the violence happening around the country. She teamed up with other instructors to provide free yoga classes across the city, especially at homeless shelters and addiction recovery centers. But Shumake says the nonprofit wants to serve everyone, with a goal to promote social change and peace locally.

Irreverent, riotously funny, and never kitschy, The Jerry Jonestown Massacre is a blend of off-the-cuff banter on topics ranging from sports to local music and whatever else enters the dark minds of cohosts Dustin Schneider and Matt Stubbs.

The three-year-old podcast runs every week and has built a sizable following of fans who prefer their entertainment uncensored and uncut.

The controversial vote in 2004 to allow taxpayer money to be used in helping Jerry Jones build a new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys is looking to be a sold investment. The stadium opened in 2009, and Forbes magazine recently named the Cowboys as the most valuable sports team in the world, worth about $4 billion.

Meanwhile, city officials are paying off its $300 portion of the stadium debt years ahead of schedule, which could save them loads of money in financing costs.

Despite the seemingly endless revolving doors on West 7th and the slick comelately joints headed for the new Waterside development, you can find some of our townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best stories in the restaurants that have been turning out a range of culinary greatness for nearly a century. While this list is not comprehensive, it does include places that have made it to or have come near the 50-year mark â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and are still cookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Paris Coffee Shop (704 W Magnolia Av, 817-335-2041), the Original Mexican Eats CafĂŠ (4713 Camp Bowie Blvd, 817738-6226), and Carshonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delicatessen (3133 Cleburne Rd, 817-923-1907) began slinging their unique kinds of homecooking (diner-style, Mexican, and Jewish, respectively) in the roaring â&#x20AC;&#x2122;20s, although Paris and Carshonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have both since moved from their original locations.

It seems inconceivable that Joe T. Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mexican Restaurant (2201 N Commerce St, 817-626-4356) once had seating capacity for only 16, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it was when Joe and wife Jessie set up shop in the 1930s.

Legend has it that calf fries, a.k.a. mountain oysters, were invented at the original Risckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steakhouse â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the doors of the restaurant at 120 Exchange Av in the

Stockyards (817-624-4800) also opened in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s. Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steakhouse (2458 N Main St, 817-624-3945) arrived to keep Risckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company in the 1940s. Barbecue moved away from the Stockyards when Angelo George opened his eponymously named restaurant at 2533 White Settlement Rd (817-332-0357) on St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, 1958.

Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; South Pancake House (1509 S University Dr, 817-336-0311) has been serving up its regionally famous lemony

German pancakes since the 1960s. Later that decade, in 1968, Ed Stebbins, the original owner of Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza (multiple locations), opened his first pizzeria, near Texas Wesleyan University. In the 1970s, Stebbins sold his restaurant to the Farkas family, and the restaurant became a local franchise, expanding and contracting until the brand was redeemed by current owner Jordan Scott in the early part of this century.

Critics choice: #VUUPOÂľT 3FTUBVSBOU 8 'XZ Buttonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fried chicken is a Fort Worth staple.

Hand-battered and served with a homemade Belgian waffle, the upscale comfort food restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In fact, we would be lying if we said we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had it for at least two of those mealtimes in the same day. The real trick is dipping the chicken in the blueberry-infused butter that comes on the side and then smearing on some of the accompanying fresh berry compote to create the perfect bite.

A regular olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pork or beef tamale is a tonguepleasing treat. But if you want to experience tamales as a culinary artform, drop by Reata, where the cooks stuff the torpedoes with tenderloin, boost the flavor with a pecan mash, corn kernels, and secret sauce, and top â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em with pico de gallo and a sour cream drizzle.

Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorites, like chicken and dumplings, fried catfish, and chicken-fried steak, are served with generous portions of classic sides such as mashed potatoes and turnip greens, all at prices that will transport you back decades.

Garcia recently opened up Fort Worthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second ramen-dedicated brick-and-mortar shop, this one in the West 7th area. Traditional offerings come with a nuanced French influence (mirepoix, thyme, and bay leaves) that reflect Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formal culinary training. With offerings such as Salt Ramen and Straight Outta Kyushu, Garcia is noodling his way into the hearts and stomachs of local foodies.

A beautiful, dazzling spectacle of a show, A New Republic took a decidedly brown brush to the whitewashing of art history. In his portraits, Wiley replaced the subjects of paintings from European masters with the everyday people he invited into his studio to serve as models. The pieces succeeded because they nodded to art history while also celebrating all of us, the combination exposing glaring social disparities in our era of flashlights glaring at the 1 percent.

A New Republic was a further introduction to Wiley, whose inaugural appearance in town was in 2008 as the subject of one of

Amid the profane and fragmented whirl of Stage Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming-of-age sketch show, Green occupied the center of the action and did sterling work portraying his characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolution from naive youth to self-assured man navigating the treacherous waters of being African-American and homosexual.

Doing that while reacting to the outrageous character types around him helped anchor this wildly funny show in place.

We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose among the three cast members of Circle Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brash, timely political satire about one ultraconservative Congressional aide, one ultraliberal blogger, and one beauty queen who tries to broker peace between them. As the three attempted to rebuild Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government from the ground up, the comic interplay among them made our unfunny politics into a hilarious place.

Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to top a hip-hop musical that references Edward Said and unearths the Nuyorican roots of rap music. Artes de la Rosa gave an explosive account of Kristoffer Diazâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; play last May that featured committed performances, energetic dancing, and a smooth unpacking of what is a knotty show. It all added up to an unforgettable experience.

A sentimental favorite, the picturesque town of Glen Rose is only an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive from downtown Fort Worth, and it has enough attractions to wear out the entire family. Dinosaur Valley State Park is a rite of passage for area children, and the safari-style Fossil Rim Wildlife Center lets you get up close (and awfully personal) with more than 50 species of exotic animals. Grown folks might enjoy the 36 holes of the acclaimed Squaw Valley Golf Club or one of the several local wineries. Or maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather spend your day at the Creation Evidence Museum before catching an evening performance of The Promise, a musical experience of the life of â&#x20AC;Ś well, whatever. We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to tell you how to spend your time in Glen Rose.

We just recommend you give it a try.

communicative honesty in Fuentesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work. The centerpiece of the exhibit was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the longest memory,â&#x20AC;? a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed in a corner of the gallery illuminated by a flickering slide projection of trees through a window.

In the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, Fuentes recounts asking her daughter for her longest memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well,â&#x20AC;?

Julia responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loving you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the longest memory I have since the day I was born.â&#x20AC;?

early 2000s, placing the Fort Worth painter dead center in neo-Texas regionalism. In Inside the Lines, he brought together the bulk of his current large-scale paintings in which he tackled politics and social injustice. One of the most powerful pieces, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Conversion of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;? (hat tip, Caravaggio), is a dialogue between the artist and the classic paintings heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surrounded by every day as an art preparator at the Kimbell Art Museum. Hernandez depicts a military unit protecting Saul as a giant horse stirs above. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as gloomy as it is glorious.

The Kennedysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rooms were furnished with privately owned art from local politicians and the Fortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community mavens, but if JFK composer David T. Little, librettist Royce Vavrek, and the Fort Worth Opera are to be believed, the two never noticed the art. Instead, Kennedy embarked on a morphine-fueled hallucinogenic nightmare of a trip featuring appearances by Morpheus, the god of dreams; Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developmentally delayed sister, Rose; Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson and his crew of Texas cronies; and others. All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to us are snippets of Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

In 1884-85 the population of Austin was a mere 17,000 plus one iron bar-, knife-, and axe-wielding serial killer of women. Texas Monthly columnist Skip Hollandsworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first book, The Midnight Assassin: Panic, Scandal, and the Hunt for Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Serial Killer, unearths this still-unsolved mystery that gripped our fledgling state capital in terror and divided its residents along race, class, and gender lines. Fans of true-crime will devour this tale of law enforcement searching for a killer who was groundbreaking in both motive and deviousness. As with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin, politicians dueled while the citizens devolved into panic and hysteria. Hollandsworth successfully combines meticulous research

Mosley moved to Austin recently, but we still love him and his unique take on Greek tragedy in a modern and perhaps supernatural world.

The apartments tend to attract musicians, who enjoy the central city location, quick access to the adjacent Shipping and Receiving Bar, open floor plans, old fixtures, concrete floors, and exposed brick walls. Live bands are featured inside the bar and at the beer garden, while various cultural shows are held regularly in the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event spaces.

Hunter Plaza (formerly the Fortune Arms Hotel) fell into disrepair over the decades after being built in 1954, resulting in a case of the bedbugs in 2010 that forced the 11-story building to close and the 200 elderly or disabled folks who called Hunter home to evacuate. Now, $29 million and zero critters later, Hunter is once again open, offering a mix of public housing and regular rental units, plus 10,000 square feet in groundlevel space for retail or commercial use.

Texas, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been timelier. Arguably, the best pieces in Artspace 111â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Regional Juried Exhibition didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive any awards. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always hope that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover something new at a group show â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even in Fort Worth, where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a lot of works that look alike or that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already seen 20 times before. And while this show seemed familiar â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; winners Marilyn Waligore and Nancy Lamb could almost be seen as confirmation of what to expect at Artspace 111 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there was enough newness to earn our favor. One of the best was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad Standing in Front of Things 1943-1990,â&#x20AC;? a composite photograph of scanned Polaroids of the father of artist Chris Ireland which was subtly conceptual and eerily compelling. Dr. Seussâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Great Day for Up has nothing to do with Gabriel Daweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plexus No. 34.â&#x20AC;? But this new installation at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art is an ode to all things above, which is the best way to view this piece.

Suspended two stories above the atrium, a rainbow of thread beams across the space, creating a burst of color that reverberates in the material and through the surrounding space. Daweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is an opus in light that achieves a dream we imagine all minimalists have: finding a way to combine color, form, and space into a nothingness that itself has volume.

There is indoor seating when the summer swelter or winter weather comes to town, but you also can grab a spot on the pup-friendly patio by the outdoor stage. During happy hour, $3 earns you a domestic or well-drink and $6 a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lavish pourâ&#x20AC;? of vino. Lavish, to Lolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, is 8 ounces, which will wipe out whatever your boss did to make libations a life requirement.

The former bookstore-turned-luxuriant speakeasy not only has an expansive â&#x20AC;&#x153;libraryâ&#x20AC;? of literature-themed house-designed cocktails crafted with house-made infusions, a cozy, elegant atmosphere of leather armchairs and walls of books, and a staff of top-notch mixologists, but the stairwell to Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underground bar is hidden behind a secret door disguised as a bookshelf. Pushing through that thing with one hand while brandishing a Killing Pablo (Tequila Cabeza, maraschino liqueur, fresh lime juice, house-made jalapeĂąo simple syrup) with the other never gets old.

Or enjoy a quiet cocktail on the patio while scoping out some of our townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best scenery. Whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for, Rainbow Lounge will probably have something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or someone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that hits the spot. Or comes close enough.

backgrounds. Formby is a former investor in Rahr & Sons Brewing Company, where Flowers was once head brewer. The duo is putting its experience to work in the craft spirits world with cocktail blends made in-house along with small-batch vodka, gin, bourbon, and whiskey. Acre also offers full barista service, light food, and pastries made by a staff baker. With the small batch liquor craze steadily catching on in Fort Worth, Flowers and Formby should be in high spirits.

its comparatively smaller square footage with good times (and, yes, also TVs).

When you throw in sports-tastic grub like pizza, hoagies, and (wait for it) buffalo wings, plus great happy hour specials and a good selection of draft beers, Buffalo Bros should be your go-to spot for hanging out and cheering on.

Criticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice: #PPHFS 3FEÂľT 4BMPPO & &YDIBOHF "W Part of the fun of visiting hotel bars in your hometown is both anonymity and being able to play tourist. Hotel social hour options are usually quiet, with traditional dĂŠcor and drink selections. Booger Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saloon at the Stockyards Hotel is the antithesis of that standard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairly loud and may get a touch rowdy on the weekends. Half the stools are horse saddles, all perched under the massive butt of a taxidermied buffalo. Even Booger Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature cocktail, the Anita-Rita, is a potent concoction that gets dropped out of a galvanized still into an 18-ounce schooner and involves serrano peppers and secret spices. Go for the Western ambiance, sustain yourself with an order of the 9 Miles of Dirt Road (layered bean dip), and trade some

tall tales with Cowtown visitors. And real Cowtowners.

Sure, lots of Fort Worth bars and restaurants now serve hundreds of beers, but when taking into account ambiance, customer service, food, and, sure, a certain je ne sais quoi, Pouring Glory is the tops, doing a lot more than simply cramming piles of cans into fridges.

First, there are the choice brews on tap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 54 to be exact. (Many locally produced suds make their public debuts in this Near Southside growler fill station and restaurant.) Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the creative food menu that features beer-infused items from Panther Island Brewing Company, Wild Acre Brewing Company, and The Collective Brewing Project.

Add cold-brew coffee from Avoca and kombucha, and you have a fabulous overall drink selection.

The gentle giant is equal parts ambassador and bouncer for the Near Southsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touchstone dive bar. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just as likely to find this previous best bouncer winner engaged in a match of chess as you are gently escorting some belligerent frat boy to Uberville. The fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an outstanding pianistic singer-songwriter also gives him major street cred. And a little star power.

Last Call caters to true bikers, not weekend warriors. Club patches hold more credibility than any Harley or Honda trademark. The interior takes on a dive bar look and feel, with dartboards and pool tables. Old Southern rockers light up the small stage, except on the occasional Wednesday when the barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n and Singâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n events take the jam session outside around a fire pit.

Our hearts were broken when the large, outdoor neon sign depicting a Western couple dancing was removed from the building several years ago, apparently a victim of vandalism. That sign was a favorite East Fort Worth landmark. But one missing neon sign doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the fact that Stagecoach has remained one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most authentic country bars for half a century, with a massive dance floor, lots of retro mojo, and a rotating cast of classic country artists, ranging from national stars such as Johnny Rodriguez and Gene Watson to local honkytonk heroes like Tommy Hooker.

The magic of good management makes every sink spigot and knob sparkle. The lavatory floor is clearly looked after and is relatively free of mildew and other microbial unknowns. Foot flushers, keep your dogs on the ground. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to lift a leg in this latrine.

Bird CafĂŠ is known for a lot of things in the culinary department already: great

food, craft cocktails, and an astounding wine list. Even the downstairs patio has been well-documented. But fewer people talk about the patio upstairs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not fond of sharing.

Gather up your bar goodies and small plates and head on up to the exclusivefeeling veranda to enjoy the spectacular view of Sundance Square in a comfy setting of cushioned couches situated around a large fire pit. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to take plenty of selfies with the squareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inverted umbrellas, clock tower, and Chisholm Trail mural in the background. Whether you come here for a drink after a Bass Hall show or just to watch the sunset over downtown after a long Monday, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find this a splendid place to perch.

Sure, the 73-year-old legend tours on a nearly nonstop basis, but for the writer of such classics as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tightropeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Song for Youâ&#x20AC;? to route his tour through Fort Worth for a stop at The Live Oak signaled a change in the level of act that would be willing to visit the four-year-old venue. A truly special night that is still being talked about among those lucky enough to attend, the 60-year veteran of the music business spent time between songs telling stories about everything from meeting Elvis to performing with George Harrison. And the sound was on point.

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solidifying the take-over of a small foreign principality, plotting like Russia faced with a Napoleonic enemy, or sliding words borrowed from Baudelaire

into your belovedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear, Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the perfect place for intense conversation. The outer bar area has rich leather, velvet, and brocade-covered couches and chairs that guide you into close quarters. The dimly lit space naturally encourages more hushed tones, so utterances of love or war may come forth unobserved by other patrons.

Perhaps most essential, Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly executed libations provide liquid courage to end an affair or passionately discuss themes of jealousy and obsession in Graham Greeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The End of the Affair.

Poorly kept secrets, like the password for the speakeasy downstairs, are part of the ambiance at this haunt of erudite Fort Worthians. And the rest of you.

Tired of standing around in bars, posing and looking bored? Get your glutes out on the Trinity Trails, where more than 40 miles of excellent cycling paths connect 21 area parks along the (mostly) scenic Trinity River. In bar lighting, just about anyone can look good with the right wardrobe and enough foundation, but sunlight and spandex keep everyone a little more honest. Besides, a shared healthy hobby is a much more auspicious start to any type of relationship than via beer goggles and desperation. After all, the couple that plays together stays together.

In this sports bar, everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to metaphorize about underdogs, overcoming adversity, and new beginnings. For starters, the dozens of televisions flashing games, goals, and talkinghead sports predictions can be incredibly motivating â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or distracting, which also benefits you. Varsity is loud, so wailing, whining, and catastrophizing canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win many sympathy points. The specials on Bacardi buckets and beeritas bandage pain and suffering until former beloveds are ready to call it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;building year.â&#x20AC;? For a colder, harsher

loving descriptions of the flavors of the reposado, aĂąejo, and mescal â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost like a wine menu. The wine menu itself is small but well-curated and covers all bases. There are glorious grown-up drinks, including a Caipirinha, a pisco sour, and La Perla (tequila, sherry, pear, and lemon). And if you need a little more cachet, after La Perla closes you can take your date next door to Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a delicious cocktail lounge thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open until 2am. You will not find any Coors Lights or Coronas, only grownup drinks â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whiskey, gin, rum, a few tequila offerings, and vodka in combos you may not have even heard of.

OK, so you (probably) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be riding the bulls, but every Friday and Saturday night at 9 and 10pm, local competitors head to The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Honky Tonk ÂŽ to hang on for dear life and rodeo glory. Getting some drinks at Billy Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and watching riders test their mettle at one of the rowdiest and most dangerous sports in existence is arguably wild, and it could be a fun prelude to stepping out for more of the Stockyardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weekend craziness.

When imbibing solo, Del Friscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steakhouse is an ideal selection, especially at the quaint upstairs bar on a weekday evening. Staffers commonly serve travelers and know when to leave a guest to her thoughts, maybe a good book, and always a beautifully executed cocktail.

Locals usually patronize Del Friscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for special occasions with companions, so the pressure of folding into a raucous group is less likely here than at other, casual watering holes downtown. A lovely bonus to taking yourself on a date is not being forced to compromise on your order.

Spring for the good stuff.

IN THE TIME IT TAKES TO READ THIS AD, WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE MADE LITTLE TO NO PROGRESS. We slow-roast the ďŹ nest 100% Weber Blue Agave for more than three days and then slowly crush it with a two-ton tahona stone wheel. The result is an earthy, complex taste thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than worth the wait.

The Chat Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clock is a little slow, and, armed with this knowledge, wily patrons from other bars know to close out their tabs and flock to the spot that has been dishing out one last beer and a shot to Near Southsiders for the past 15 years.

Though no longer opening at 7am, Magnoliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only sports bar still starts slinging drinks early: 10am daily and sometimes even earlier on Saturdays if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a particularly interesting soccer game on the telly. An ice cold pint from U90 and a breakfast taco or burrito from next-door Tinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cocina isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad way to kick off a beautiful weekend or day off. With the recent acquisition of the adjacent Laundromat, Upper 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s square footage will jump to 1,600. The remodeling should be done by October, just in time for football, the Fall Classic, and the launch of the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016-17 campaign.

During the soft-opening at Lolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trailer Park this past rain-soaked spring, chatter was heard all over about how perfect the new bar/music venue tucked behind longtime Fort Worth staple Lolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saloon was going to be once the weather began to cooperate.

A full-service non-smoking bar, with garage doors and bar top windows that open up to to the yard filled with picnic tables and party games, is stocked with draft beer taps, coolers full of craft cans and bottles, and a liquor selection ready for any shot request you may have.

Decades ago, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? Fort Worthian probably worked in meat packing or oil and gas. Today, with our world-class museums and vibrant underground arts scene, coupled with the strong, perhaps overly persistent presence of our past, he or she probably hangs out at â&#x20AC;&#x153;the yoozh.â&#x20AC;? Though not â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheapâ&#x20AC;? by any means, this elegant Near Southside spot has enough cool, bluecollar cachet to be equally welcoming to arty types and fancy folk. What are â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;?

Fort Worthians drinking? Along with select craft brews and perhaps the occasional Old Fashioned, these multifaceted people are most likely enjoying a Dark Passenger (a Cynar snooter served with a cold can of Imperial Lager), a Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ask, Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Tell (vodka, Akvavit, lime, lavender, ginger beer), or a Maximillian-aire (Reposado tequila, Cynar, agave, grapefruit bitters, Ouzo), all available only at The Usual.

Ernest Bloch was famous for using Jewish themes and subjects in his music, Wednesday but when he composed his Suite for Viola and Orchestra in 1919, he was inspired instead by the jungles of Asia, which he had never visited. Before the piece premiered, he removed the descriptive titles from the parts of the suite and let the music stand abstractly on its own. You can hear this and Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eroicaâ&#x20AC;? Symphony when UNT Symphony Orchestra plays them at 8pm at Winspear Hall, 2100 I-35E Frontage Rd, Denton.

Before Aaron Copland became famous for writing pieces of nostalgic Thursday Americana, he dabbled in both jazz and prickly modernist music, both of which were in vogue in the 1920s.

His works from this early period are often fascinating, and you can hear Van Cliburn Competition third-place winner Sean Chen play his Piano Variations, as well as

music by Bach, Beethoven, and Ravel. The concert is at 8pm at Kimbell Art Museum, 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd, FW. Tickets are $45-65. Call 817-332-8451.

John Corigliano insisted on composing music in a traditional, romantic Monday vein when the world of classical music was ruled by serialism and tone rows. The tides of music history have since vindicated this composer who has won multiple Grammys, an Oscar, and a Pulitzer Prize.

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Reinheitsgebot, the Bavarian law that stated that only water, hops, and barley could be used in the production of bottomfermented beer. This regulation protected the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bakers from competing with brewers for supplies of wheat and rye, but it also helped extinguish many colorful local beer styles and eventually encourage German brewers to ply their trade in less restrictive foreign countries, including the United States.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to reap the benefits of the Reinheitsgebot at Oktoberfest Fort Worth, where a plethora of both traditional European beers and American craft beers will be on tap for you to sample, as well as German food like the cream cheese fritters known as quarkballchen. In addition, there will be live music from Brave Combo as well as German bands like Das Ist Lustig and Alpenmusikanten. A 5K run will be held for those drinkers who want to run off their beer bellies, and various games will be played for your entertainment.

Fort Worth ISD will even have a tent so you can learn some German sentences like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ich habe meine Gelbwurst verloren.â&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have lost my brain sausage.â&#x20AC;?) If you want to show up in lederhosen or a dirndl, your fellow festivalgoers will give you extra points for authenticity.
