Nightlife

Now that summer is FINALLY here, college students can go out every night without worrying about class the next morning (excluding me because I've been in school all summer). Recently, many bars and nightclubs have opened around the W 7th area. My focus in this post will be this area because personally, it is my favorite hangout spot in Fort Worth. I really think this area has been the best thing to happen to Fort Worth in recent years. The W 7th area not only has a great nightlife, but also has perfect things to do during the day, including The Movie Tavern and numerous outdoor patios to have lunch.

Capitol Bar, Bar Louie, and Brownstone are a few of my favorite places to go at night. Although there are many other places to go, these are my favorites. The one downside to Capitol Bar is they have a cover of $5, which isn't bad, but sometimes the line is ridiculously long. Wednesday nights Capitol Bar does not have a cover, and usually has a good live band playing. So if you are ever bored on a Wednesday night, head on over to Capitol and listen to some good tunes. I was there a few weeks ago for my 22nd birthday and they were more than welcoming.

Bar Louie is another fun spot to visit; however, recently I have been going there with a few friends and do not know a single person there. I think college students have started going to Capitol, but this bar is always crowded and has a good vibe. Also, I hear they have a good lunch/dinner menu.

The Brownstone has a little different feel than the previous bars. If you are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, Brownstone is the place to be. Friday nights they have a fun photo-booth and a dj. Drinks are fairly cheap also. The outdoor area is a nice place to hang out and have some drinks.

Also, I want to mention another fun spot to visit. I know some people might think they are too old for bowling, but I like to think of Lucky Strike as "grown up bowling." I have been to numerous birthday parties here and it is always a great time. Everyone's bowling skills seem to improve after a few drinks!
