The Rooftop Bar at The Sinclair Hotel

The tagline "Elevated Fare with a View" was aptly crafted for the swanky bar and restaurant in Sundance Square. The scenic rooftop bar is located in the tallest and most iconic building in the city that reopened as a luxury-meets-art-deco Marriott Autograph Collection hotel. Mix and mingle over small plates, cocktails and desserts on the 17th-floor rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views of the Fort Worth cityscape. The patio is open seasonally.

 

Ático 

Tim Love's Spanish-style tapas bar is a favorite among the crowds in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Located on the 6th floor of the SpringHill Suites Fort Worth Historic Stockyards Hotel, Atico is a posh rooftop eatery that overlooks the famous historic district and offers unforgettable views of downtown. The bar is open to all; simply access the exterior elevator located outside the lobby adjacent to Main Street.

 

Free Play

This is not your average restaurant and bar. Free Play Arcade has one of the largest collections of retro arcade games and pinball machines in the world according to their website. Vintage gamers will love the playful atmosphere as much as they love the multiple patios which includes a large and storied rooftop deck. Bar food and a healthy list of beers are available for patrons to enjoy.

 

Lot 12 TCU

Perched atop the new Hyatt Place TCU and adorned with TCU memorabilia, Lot 12 is poised to be the go-to for Horned Frog devotees.

Kimpton Harper Hotel

An architectural masterpiece from the 1920s, the Kimpton Harper Hotel is sure to wow guests the moment they step into the 24th-floor lobby. Sweeping views of the city and a lively bar scene in the penthouse lounge known as Refinery 714 beckon guests to sit down and stay awhile. Find this hidden gem in the heart of downtown in the former XTO Energy building across from Grace.
