Excellent ambience, love the hidden speakeasy vibe. I seriously recommend the non-alcoholic Prosecco, it was so good! We were seated off to the side in a cozy booth (not pictured since I forgot to take many pictures). Will be back for a date night or catch-up with the gals.

The best mixologist bar in Ft Worth. The bartenders are always friendly and ready to talk liquors and bitters etc., if you know the subject. A great place to have a drink, go for a local meal which are all within walking distance, then have a nightcap. Park behind and take your valuables. Highly Recommended

This place is really magical! You walk into the understated but cozy bar and it feels like you are meant to be there. You see the most up-to-date pride flag proudly hanging from the wall and it feels genuine and safe. If you though the atmosphere was good, wait till you get your hands on a drink because, goodness me, these are some of the best I ve had. To start, our amazing server, Cynthia, was so knowledgeable on any and everything on the menu, and as an added bonus she had some amazing recommendations! I had the sand and sea first and GOOD LORD it was DEVINE!!! It was complex and elevated but still approachable and fresh, and the way it smelled!!! I also had the don t ask, don t tell which was amazing, it was floral but not to the point where is was potpourri to the face, and the ginger beer in it was crisp and refreshing. My partner had the just keep swimming which Cynthia described as a Pina colada with a more sophisticated pallet. And that is exactly what it was, it had all of those familiar flavors done so beautifully, like you could pick each one out individually. This was an amazing first go at the usual. We will definitely be returning to see what their menu has next!

One of my all time favorite bars in Fort Worth. I learned so much about craft cocktails and spirits in general just by sitting at the bar. Any question I had was always answered with thought, history, and a side of opinion. I have learned techniques just by watching. I have tasted spirits I never would have known about. And I have made friends. I also now have a crippling rum collection habit, so careful there. Cheers!

Laid back, calm vibe where you can have a conversation thanks to the semi-private booths, or feel free to sit at the bar thats always busy and chat with the bartenders. One of the few bars we repeatedly come back to. Highly recommend.

Always love The Usual, yesterday was really hot and they were the only place with adequate A/C. Their cocktails are fun but the Jenll Tell Ya was not as grapefruity as I was expecting. I want my drinks strong but having two different grapefruit ingredients made me think it would be more like a mezcal paloma but the grapefruit soda mustve watered it down more than added a new flavor.

Walked in and had a seat at a booth. After 15 minutes I went up to the bar and had two bartenders ignore me for about 5+ minutes (no one else was at the bar). I went back to our booth and waited another 10 minutes before going back to the bar and finally got a response that someone would come to the booth. Another person grabbed my card brought our drinks back. No one ever came back after about 20 minutes I went back to the bar asking to tab out and mentioned that they still had my card. The guy that took my order and card said that they didn t have it. He came back to the table and said that they bring it right back, even after I said no one ever brought it back. He was almost aggressive about it. After looking for about 5 minutes he comes back with my card and tab with zero apologies about anything. Be careful with your card if you go and expect a wait to get anyone to notice you.

So, a friend and I walk into The Usual find no one behind the bar nor anywhere to be seen (completely empty during open hours). After waiting a bit, I look through a door and see a figure sitting in a dark room in a high backed chair. After trying to gain that persons attention, a man comes running in from another back area apologizing. We order drinks, but as theyre getting poured the shadowy figure comes out from the back room cussing me out for using the term dude earlier. I had no idea what she was, due to her sitting in a blacked out room with her back to me. As she continues her rant, we walk out with the drinks untouched and unpaid for on the bar with her flicking us off still yelling nonsense. I tried to call and talk to the manager about the situation, but he just told me and my friend to just not come back. TOO EASY. Id advise others to do the same and avoid these unprofessional clowns. There are far better people and places in the immediate area.

This bar has a massive number of craft cocktail possibilities given their bar selection and the skill of their staff. We arrived around 8ish and easily claimed a booth. By 10pm, the place was much more crowded and tables were at a premium. I docked a star because our server was MIA once it picked up and we had to go wait at the bar to close out. Also, it has a lingering smell of a bar that once allowed smoking.

Firstly let me say the bartenders ignored me for what seemed like 15 whole minutes while my friend and I sat at a boothe. Then they took another 15 minutes to make our drinks and there were only like 4 ppl total seated in the whole venue. Then to make it worst I ordered the whiskey sour which didnt seem like it had any alcohol in it. I wasnt even slightly buzzed. The pretty ambience in the photos doesnt match the experience.

The cocktails are delicious and they have a great variety of unique liquors/liqueurs. Prices are very fair for the service and quality of cocktails. I do wish that the cocktail menu had a few more choices, but the mixologists are happy to make something up for you if you ask. Not unbearably crowded on a Saturday night, but they could use some additional large party seating or high top tables to set drinks on. Its an intimate setup for couples and small groups. Anything more than 4-6 people and you should expect to stay standing. Ive seen people bring food or get delivery before if thats something important to you. They also permit dogs but honestly they seem really out of place with the atmosphere.
