    This was a very lively bar. It had that old saloon feel to it, which was very cool. I ordered a whiskey well drink and it was nice and strong. The atmosphere was great. It was very spacious and it had somewhat dark lighting. There was also a pool table, which was pretty neat as well. Being that it was on a Sunday in which I visited, there wasn't live music. From the reviews that I read, live music is played here on some nights (I assume Fridays and Saturdays). The decor and the rodeo theme make this place well worth the visit. Overall, I would definitely return to have a couple of drinks and to enjoy the cool atmosphere.

    Stopped here on our little pub crawl at the end of the night. Nice service and cold beer. We shared a cheeseburger and fries. Definitely needed it to soak up some alcohol!😉 We'd visit again.

    Interesting, nice little bar. I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and had a couple of beers while checking out the Stock Yard. They had a couple of guys on stage but difficult to hear due to volume being low. Whitney, the bartender, had a great personality and was super nice. They seemed to be a few locals, and they all knew each other, but these are types of places I like

    A very original place, I just had to go in because of Walker Texas Ranger. It was filmed here. The place is great, a huge collection of hats of special personalities are all over the restaurant. There are pool tables, freshly tapped beer and always live music. Just like this time, not last time 3 years ago. Plus a huge collection of white elephants.... Perhaps the largest in the world... If you're there, it's worth stopping by...

    In the US on business and no trip to DFW would be complete without a trip to the Stockyards and a visit to this bar. Live music, good beers and a great atmosphere in what is a modern day cowboy saloon. Bring a pen.

    Place used to be good. But lately it is awful. And the bartenders are terrible. Unless you drink beer, good luck getting anything else made correctly… they’ll charge a cover for a band you cant even understand… save your money… nothing more than a whack tourist attraction, save your koney go before they charge nothing in there worth paying for.

    Our last stop and a few beers before leaving Texas. Even though it's not the original spot (Saloon was moved here some 70 years ago), it feels great and has a lot of spirit. Noted a picture of Quanah Parker on one of the walls. And do not forget to try the Shuffleboard game!

    Great place to grab a few drinks, Dance, and listen to live music. Great spot right on the strip in the stockyards! There is also some interesting history about the musicians that have past through there as well as the ivory elephant decor.

    Second time coming here and we had a blast! The drinks, the music, and the staff were amazing. We love the intimate and cozy vibe. Tony & Krista were AMAZING!! They made us feel at home and we had some good laughs. I highly recommend to check out The White Elephant. I will be back for sure!

    This place is incredible and and someplace anyone should visit. The live music was amazing, dancing was fun, the staff are sooooo friendly and cool. What a great atmosphere. Also, one seriously incredible historical site with a colourful history. Have a great time.

    Do not order onion rings, they are onion strings (wadded up ball of string) or a Bloody Mary. It was way to spicey, (looks nothing like picture) Celery and olive on skewer, is pretty standard right? They just plopped olive in glass. Ordered 2 hot dogs. Both were barely warm with crusty buns. Chili dog had minimal chili, more like chili spread. Both dogs were lame, fries were okay. Music was great, don't order dogs.

    Old timey western saloon on your bucket list? Well then head on down to the Fort Worth Stockyards,belly up to the bar at the old White Elephant for some ice cold beer and tasty whiskey! Atmosphere is laid back and very western! A must see while in the Stockyards

    We went there in the afternoon for lunch. Everyone there treats you like family. You will love this place. I used to come here in the evenings to listen to music and dance. It's been about 20 yrs since I've been here. I loved it then and I love it now. We ordered hamburgers and fries that tasted great. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. You can look at the pictures of the bands and country stars who've played there, the many cowboy hats hanging overhead or check out the many, many white elephants displayed on the wall. This is 5 Star place!!

    We enjoyed the music, service and all the hats from famous people. Drinks were a little pricey $10 for a Captain and coke. Back home in Wisconsin they are $3.75-$5.00. Had a great experience, though. Thank you!

    This has to be one of my favorite places in Fort Worth. It's amazing on a busy night or just as wonderful on a slow night. We were there on a slow Sunday night and listen to the best cover bad!

    MY FAVORITE PLACE! I LOVE THIS PLACE. Country music and dance, a very cowboy atmosphere, pleasant to enjoy a Friday with friends or as a couple

  • 5/5 Lil O. 4 months ago on Google
    Fun atmospheric tavern in Fort Worth. Well decorated with the rodeo hats of many many cowboys, wood tables carved with years of names and hearts and places in a patchwork. And don't forgot the wall of white elephants, the namesake. Super fun place to stop in for drinks and often live music and dancing.

    Good atmosphere there is no doubt however I recommend you not shine your boots there, there is a black man named Ricky who is dishonest he charged me $15 dollars first I gave him $10 dollars and when I paid I paid him another beer I gave him $8 more He went and told the bar that I had not paid him and they no longer sold me because of his dishonesty. I do not recommend his service.

    This place was a riot! The hats on the walls and ceilings made this place a unique saloon worth visiting. There was a small dancefloor that was used once in the hour that we were there. Although the hats were impressive, my favorite part was the guy performing live music. He was awesome! At one point he pulled a suggestion from the crowd and absolutely nailed it. The guy was a great entertainer who had everyone singing along and cheering. Enjoyed every minute we were here.

    White Elephant 🐘. What else can be said that hasn't been said since 1899. This place is a staple. Bar tenders are so sweet, the live music is just right and the ambiance is just old-west Texas. Such a blast to enjoy beers here at a place that an uncountable amount of cowboys have for well over a hundred years, just like they did. Great Texas history. Great place.

    Cool saloon with live music. Very friendly staff! Didn’t try the food…

  • 5/5 Ian O. 7 months ago on Google
    This is an interesting combination of a locals bar and a well-known Fort Worth attraction. It's worth the cover at the weekend. Great atmosphere. It's a bar with some food, a good selection of beer, but it's really about the music, the people, and the experience of a great Texas tradition. If you want an authentic Texas experience come by, if you want white glove big city "service" and gourmet food this isn't your place. We loved it. A very pleasant surprise.

    This place is a must see when you go to the stockyards period of the ceiling with all the hats. The band the night we went was great. Drink prices are OK and the fill is pretty good on the alcohol. Would definitely visit again

  • 5/5 Katie D. 2 years ago on Google
    We came back here twice on a sister trip. It was a cool bar, cool bartenders with fast service, and wonderful music. It gets pretty packed in the evenings but it's great in the afternoons!

  • 4/5 Bonnie A. 2 years ago on Google
    Neat place. I guess I'm too "citified". I wanted blended ( slushed) drinks, but they don't do that here. It's cool, I get it. Not every place does that. We went on a Sunday night and they had some live music that was really, good. A bunch of us were trying to sing along. I would bet it's pretty happenin' on a Friday or Saturday night! I'd at least check it out. No need to get all dressed up; just get your boots, jeans and cowboy hat on and you'll fit right in.

  • 4/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    Another awesome place in the Stockyard, whats pretty sweet is there are cowboy hats pinned to the ceiling from all types of celebrities and important people! Plus they have great drinks!!

  • 3/5 Lali P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly bartender. The vibes are so retro it’s insane. It’s vintage all around! The building itself needs some help. Ladies the bathrooms are in need of some help this is the only reason they are getting 3 ⭐️ the margaritas are super good the cowgirl shot is delicious 😋 highly recommend the cowgirl 🤠 shot!!!

  • 5/5 Ryan S. 1 year ago on Google
    I'll be honest, there is a smell of old leather that hits you just as hard as the history in this saloon that may extend ones reach.

  • 4/5 Paige A. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the cowboy hats on the walls & ceilings! The hot dogs were super good and everything was reasonably priced. We did have an issue with the bartenders both charging us for items so we had to get a revised bill to eliminate the duplicate items. Overall fun bar!

  • 5/5 Maura D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun bar. Good music. Interesting history. Fun decor. Hats on the ceiling. Collection of white elephants on the side wall. Kick back vibe. Not over- priced. Deep in the heart of Stockyards.

    The bartenders charged $50 dollars to my card after they stated it “declined” then charged my friends card $70 (total balance $70). The bartenders then aggressively denied it once I went back (same day to figure it out). The bartender SARAH P was unprofessional, stating, “you’re not worth stealing money from” while aggressively trying to stare me down while I spoke to her manager about it. She said she makes much more than me as a bartender to prove her point, implying I was broke. It was just a weird interaction. Low key very strange. Most likely was drinking behind the bar. Probably shouldn’t do that unless you can handle your alc. I would avoid this place unless you live close by to dispute fake charges. And Sarah p we all know bartenders struggle. No shame in it. But you should probably be more kind and understanding at work. Might up your tips so you don’t feel the need to steal :)
