Very cute. But incredibly hot. They have a fan in the corner but I was sweating the entire time. Dance floor is also pretty small. It was just extremely crowded as well. Maybe they need to limit the capacity or something. Update: Maybe learn to take some constructive criticism about your bar and not respond to every negative review in a poor manner. It makes you look bad. I just stood in your bar, never moved except to walk inside, get a drink, and then had to stay in one place, couldn't move because of how packed it was. So, I wouldn't blame kinetic energy. There was absolutely no hint of cool air anywhere in that bar as far as I could tell. World's smallest honkey tonk with the world's rudest management, I'd say. ✌️

A must-stop if you’re at the Stock Yards! Dark, dive bar in the basement. Great country tunes. Awesome beer selection. Love that the entire place is plaster with dollar bills!

Small and intimate bar. Was an enjoyable visit until I had to use the restroom. Worst bathroom in the history of bathrooms, by far. After the sight of that, I had to leave.

If I had the ability to give them a -star I would. My husband is a veteran and has a service Dog....we walked in to meet some friends from the Fort Worth Area. Before even sitting down the bartender was wave her hand at us. I walked over and she said that we could not have the dog in here...I said he is a service dog...she said it doesn't matter my manager said no animals/dogs and there are other bars that we could go to. I responded that is illegal and I can produce all documents. She again said it doesn't matter and we had to leave, she also stated that the bar is older and that they could not afford the liability. I said, what? that doesn't make any sense....what does the age of the building have to do with anything. Honestly, me getting a lawyer, could cause a bigger issue for them. Instead of causing a scene, we left and waited for our friend outside. Please know that my husband served this country for 22 years and having this service dog helps his PTSD. I myself have never been so angry...I felt, I should have video tap this young lady and what she was telling me along with getting her manager/owner on the phone and explain how illegal it is to tell us to leave. Instead I decided to tell everyone how they treat veterans with a service dog. Please note we did go somewhere else, the White Elephant and had a fabulous time...so if you are in that area don't go the the Basement Bar they dont need veterans $$..go to the White Elephant they treat our service members with respect.

My favorite bar in the stockyards. There is no cover and the drinks are reasonably priced. The bartenders are fun and professional. There is always music and dancing. Great place for people watching and socializing.

I've always enjoy this bar and atmosphere... However when I ran into bartender Whitney she was unttending and when I pointed this out she refused service and told me to cash out and leave. I was not rude about it however she was.. reason being I was passed over service for someone else that arrived later on.. but Karma is getting the place because they have no business as I passed today.

Loved this little dive bar. Visited right at opening while I was at the Stockyards. Opened up dead on time - thank God as my time was pressed. Enjoyed a cold Corona. Friendly bartender and just a neat little place. Would LOVE to go there again when I had more time to spend!

I was charged right at $50.00 for 2 shots and 2 beers. I was actually charged twice on one tab with 2 different totals. It was obviously a mix up but I have reached out with texts, voice-mail and Facebook messages to no prevail. No one will reach back out to me to address this mix up. It would be nice if you would hire a staff that knew what the hell they were doing when patrons money is involved.

Interesting venue, but wasn't very busy when we went. We weren't overly impressed but would be interested to see how it is during the more busy evening hours. Decent frozen drinks for a good price. Bathrooms are a bit rough, but might be the vibe they're going for.

It's a bar...in a basement. So there's that I guess... just mostly wanted to get roasted by the person that runs this place.

Used to be a hidden gem in the stockyards. Don’t know if there is new ownership or what, but everything is way more expensive than it was. Took me 10 minutes to be acknowledged at 2 pm on a Sunday without a full bar. I guess get that Yellowstone payday while you can. If I’m gonna pay $6 for a beer, I’ll buy one I can walk around with. Used to be $3 beers and wells. Those days are long gone.

Neat little bar that gets very crowded on a Saturday night. They had live music and I didn't catch the guy's name but he played really well and it sounded excellent in there. It's a small place but has a cool vibe.

Great lighting & music downstairs. The 10-dollar entry for the rooftop was fun. The only thing was they needed to maintain better of their wet, nasty floor… did not try the food this time, drinks are good. Overall 7/10.

Cool Spot to have a Cold Beer on a hot day. Cool atmosphere n Service. Walls and ceiling have dollar bills from past guest.

If you like dark little dive bars with cold beer, you'll love this place. Had live music playing, great place to hang out.

Had never been there before but was treated by my daughter and son in law who were in town. There was a fun Halloween costume contest and I've never had better jello shots. I will definitely go back!

Besides being a bit of a death trap this is a pretty fun dive bar. Dollar bills cost the ceiling and people are friendly. The door man was friendly and funny. The bartender said "thats not my problem" when I explained someone took my drink, so that wasn't nice but short of that fun place to go dance and hang out.

Since moving to Ft. Worth, I've been trying to find a good dive bar. Everyone told me The Basement Bar was the place to go. THIS IS NOT A TRUE DIVE BAR! Dive bars don't serve top shelf liquor, charge $15 for a drink and have a huge variety. Basically this is a tourist trap and a place college kids can go to say they have been to a dive bar because they don't know any better. Also, they make all their drinks super sweet. It was so bad, I drank maybe a quarter of my overpriced $15 drink before I had to walk away from it.

Always love coming to Basement! The staff is amazing and friendly. The drinks are reasonably priced for being in the stockyards. The atmosphere is pretty laid back and intimate when it’s not super busy like it is on saturday nights.

First time going on Saturday 6/3/2023 and it was fun. I had a great time with friends and others. It was a great vibe learning to 2 step. The drinks were so good. I'll definitely go back.

We are from puerto rico, on vacation, our firstime visiting the area. We enjoyed being at the place, the only thing that made us a little uncomfortable, was when it was time to pay, the bartender ( a girl) was so busy she forgot we were there, and i guess she forgot to charge us. So we try to get her attention and my husband whistled, (he apologizes for that) and herd her say something like "don't be sassy or something like that". We can understand she was by herself, very busy and so many people. But that is no way to treat your customers. We only wanted to pay our bill. But we well visit again. Thank you 😊

Angelina was absolutely the sweetest girl iv ever met.. she made me feel special not to mention her drinks were on point.. I love her!!!

Place is a dive, and it fits, always been a cool spot.. been coming here for years and will continue to be a patron... Plus the short bartender with tiggo-bitties is awesome! 🖤

It was alot of fun! I went on a night when it was slow and it was just what I needed. The bartender was attentive and patrons were all having a blast. There were quite a few regulars....

This bar has been in the Stockyards for years. Worth a visit. Leave your mark by writing on a dollar and adding it to walls or ceilings. We always have a good time, but it is very small and hot.

Great little dive bar. Was a little slow on a Monday night but great staff and fun environment.

I always have a good time. It's small but great atmosphere. The ladies behind the bar are always awesome and amazing. Love the music choices that they play, old and new.

Not as good as I remember it. Place smells like a urinal. Bartender tried to make fun of me for my choice of booze. Probably not smart to make fun of your customers

Bartender was awesome! Took to time to tell us about the history of the bar/building. The bar is lined with $1 bills that the owner donates once it’s full, what a wonderful person!! A great hang out!

Cool basement level bar off of the main road in the stockyard area. Real simple bar with minimal seating and a small performance stage. Good place to have a drink. Bathrooms available.

Stumbled upon the great little bar while waiting for the cattle drive. Emma Lou was a the best bartender ever! I'll be back...

I had a blast dancing and drinking! Not sure about there drink drinks because I was drinking beer. We did have a shot and it was tasty! Great place!

Such an AWESOME place!!!!! We walked by it and weren't quite sure but win ahead and went down the few steps to one of the most amazing little bars we've ever been to! Such a cool atmosphere...we almost missed it! Don't miss it!!!!!

Way too crowded and the drinks are watered down and over priced. Couldn't take a step without bumping into someone. Just look at the reply from the owner that underscores my rating. And to be clear, what I ordered was a Long Island Iced Tea. What I got was water. So there was no possibility of getting drunk at your place.

Super cool bar! The entire place is covered in $1 bills and you can write on your own and they will put it up for you. The atmosphere is fun but BEWARE OF THE BATHROOMS, they are nasty!

The bouncer at the front banned me from going in because I made sure a girl friend I was with had to be assisted into an uber. The bouncer literally got mad I was making sure she was ok before she went home. Bouncers at this bar are weird people.

Bartender was very friendly and served my husband drinks quickly. Reading the dollars posted everywhere was very amusing. The historic location is also a big plus.

This is a great place for a Saturday night at the Stockyard. It's a good mix of music and no cover charge. One of my go to spots.

Pretty rad bar. Has a lot of character. We had a small group come through for a few afternoon beers 👌
