Posted by Fort Worth Hole in the Wall: I hung out at the Houston Street Bar & Patio in the "SoDo" area a few nights back and this is now my "Good Luck Bar". A buddy (ladies, hes single) and I were watching our beloved college Basketball team getting beat like a rug so we left another bar to come here. As the half started at the HSB&P, our team pulled it together, realized we changed locations, and won for us. Cheers all around. Those early season, non-conference games are so vital. HSB&P is a skinny bar with the actual bar on one side, a skinny table down the middle and a skinny ledge down the right side. The tables are all at the bar height (or close) so you arent sitting down. I hate sitting down low in bars. You always get some dudes butt in your face. Or, the other side. So either way its no good. Unless youre into that. If so, dont go here, go to Bent. Haha, just kidding Bent. Maybe. Anyways, in the back of the bar is a staircase that leads you to the patio portion of the bar. Its on the roof. Sweet. The patio has a bar, a view out onto the street, and a giant screen so you can watch movies/games. I ran up there during a commercial break and they had just finished watching Indiana Jones. But, the guy told me you could watch whatever you wanted if you just let them know. This seems like it has plenty of possibilities to be Legen...wait for it...dary (If you watch "How I Met Your Mother" youd get that, and probably be a better person). Back downstairs. The main part of the bar is tackily decorated with general sports memorabilia, so it kind of feels like a Buffalo Wild Wings, but they make up for it with 800 televisions, give or take 790. Seriously, there are a lot of places to watch whatever game youre looking for. Youre thinking, gee this sounds ok, but why would you waste my time by writing about this. I will tell you impatient person. It is because this bar has a unique feature. Since they do not serve food (other than deli sandwiches) they will let you order a pizza or any other food that is delivered. You can get a game on the patio screen, call in a pizza or chinese and eat it at the bar. You can then purchase $2 bud lights (not sure how often this is the price) and enjoy the game, your food, and a patio that is in a really cool urban setting. I wish we had some more places like this just on the fringe of Sundance Square. Its not the same as some of the more divey bars over in the West 7th area and it wont replace Wreck Room for anybody, but its a cool downtown place with a ton of tvs and a really cool patio. Check it out and dont even try rubbing your butt in my face. But feel free to try it on my friends. Who knows, they may like it.

The 3 stars for the food. -2 stars for the service. I ordered lunch here, just their chicken panini, and it took over 50 minutes to get my food. After the first 30 minutes I asked the woman in the kitchen and she said "just a few more minute". After 45 minutes I asked again and she seemed confused and angry that "all these people came in and ordered at the same time". Yes, that is what happens in a restaurant, at lunch time, on a weekday, when youre a block from a huge convention center. The sandwich itself was quite tasty but I would still never go back there and will recommend that others do the same.

The patio is amazing and makes this spot worth stopping by. Its a great place for drinks and laid back atmosphere. The food is developing as the kitchen has been open for almost 3 months. The flatbreads are decent and pretty homemade. Decent but nothing dying that I have to have. Its close to a person making a flatbread at home. Wine is okay. Its out small bottles of wine so dont expect top brands and stuff. Vegetarians are limited to pizza and nachos so dont get excited. Overall the service is good and cool.like your local cheers or bar.

Clean and friendly industry bar. Good drinks, awesome people that work there. Karaoke on Wednesdays and Sundays with Chris Krave- its my favorite karaoke around! Oh and the new kitchen does a good job with its limited bar food: pizzas, burgers, chips, frito pie, baked potatoes and a couple salads. Its a nice little bar- busy on the weekends and more mellow during the week, its always friendly and the open air patio upstairs is a nice bonus.

The staff here is friendly, the location is great, and... the drinks were good. WAY good. From what I can remember ;) They dont have food. Because theyre a bar. The roof top patio was awesome, yet a bit crowded. Of course, this was a Friday night at a bar in Fort Worth... so... twas expected. The TVs were great and the bartenders were awesome! Definitely go here if youre down for a good time.

Service used to be top notch here. But management must have changed in the last couple years or staff is not what it used to be. There were dismissive and took about 10 minutes to get out check with only about 8 people in the entire place.

Zero service. Smokey. Place virtually abandoned and still could not get table service. Bar tender said come to her if we want drinks, because she couldnt leave her spot, and sat there for 30 minutes flirting with 3 guys. Done.

Nice little bar, but modest selection of single malts. Food was good, but pricey for the proportions. A small array of premium cigars is also available.

That apartment that Houston ST. is next to is another bar, Bar 9. If you look a little closer through the blinds you might have noticed.
