This popular Austin-based bar could open its Fort Worth location later this year

Plans for the Fort Worth location of Nickel City are moving forward.

A remodeling permit for the bar and restaurant was submitted with the city on Thursday. Nickel City will be in 212 S. Main St., in the heart of the burgeoning food and drink scene in Near Southside. According to the permit filed, the space will be 3,287 square feet and will include a patio for patrons to drink outside.

Nickel City is based out of Austin, and was named Bar of the Year in 2017 by Eater. This time last year, the bar owners Travis Tober, Craig Primozich and Brandon and Zane Hunt announced they were opening a new location in Fort Worth with special items specific to Cowtown itself.

Fort Worth’s Nickel City will also include an on-site food truck Delray Cafe, with a menu that has an original Detroit-Style Coney Dog and a “loose burger” served on a steamed hot dog bun.

With the permit filed in February, it’s likely the bar will open as early as summer of this year.
