A Near Southside bar, with ‘old school’ burgers, is a Fort Worth local favorite

Each week, we’re sharing Fort Worth-area restaurant recommendations that come from our very own Star-Telegram readers.

These aren’t necessarily well-known establishments. They are neighborhood “hidden gems,” family-run eateries that have built a loyal following among locals who’ve discovered them in Fort Worth or our suburbs.

  • Where is this restaurant? 1001 Bryan Ave.

“In a great location, just a block off South Main in the bustling Near Southside area of Fort Worth, Our Taphouse has such a neighborhood bar vibe and even if it’s your first time visiting, you feel welcome. The 41 beers on tap guarantees that you’ll find your fave. They are constantly adding to their menu and I’ve been there often and I’ve tried several things on the menu but, to me their OT Traditional burger is their crowning glory. It’s an old school burger that rivals Fred’s and even Kincaid’s.”

  • What else to know: Our Taphouse prides itself on being a welcoming spot where locals and visitors can enjoy craft beers from nearby breweries and hearty pub favorites. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, chefs create meals to satisfy every taste. The experience is rounded out with live music almost every Friday and Saturday, featuring a variety of local musicians and bands. See the menu.
