    My friends and I love to frequent this cool spot for the drinks, the jazz and the VIBES during the week for happy hour. The owner allowed my mother to utilize the space for her 60th birthday shoot. A huge thank you for not only great customer service but going above and beyond for a customer. 🖤

    Definitely a place worth to try. The drinks are great. I’ve had different drinks from their menu and I I can’t recommend them enough. My favorite so far is the Pinky’s punch without the ice cream, just perfect! Also the French 75 is very good. I will recommend the happy hour that goes until 8 and the live music make this a perfect place to catch up with friends and enjoy a nice conversation. The bartenders have been great, they will make you feel comfortable and taken care of. Anyways, can’t recommend this place enough so try it yourself.

    This spot should be on everyone's list of "Cool bars in Fort Worth". I was hesitant when my wife suggested a champagne bar for the evening, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The exterior is quite misleading with its "dive bar behind another dive bar" vibe, but walking past the pink glow of the neon sign that adorns the selfie station, it all changed. With the classic bar on one side, the plush booths on the other, and a cool jazz quartet playing in the back, I knew I was going to like it here. The bartender walked over and greeted us within a minute of sitting down, and checked on us constantly, even as it got busy. Trying to avoid straight bubbly or a fizzy cocktail, I tried the Working Mans Blues... despite never being a Miller High Life fan in my life, the pairing with sparkling wine was kind of refreshing. If you want a great place to chill that's a step up from the usual dive, this is the place.

    We stopped by on Friday April 1st, from the first moment we walked up to the door the person who checked our id’s was so welcoming and nice! They let us know where everything was and who was playing that night. We snagged a booth where we were greeted by the owner, followed by the bartender. I can not stress enough how welcoming and friendly every single person was!! The drinks were delicious and the jazz was delightful. Highly recommend for everyone to check it out!!

    What a cute place!!! It’s so tastefully done. I’m actually not a fan of champagne, therefore, I didn’t try any signature cocktails but they have a full bar and house wines. The bartenders were all SO nice and crafted every single cocktail. The jazz music was lovely! Will definitely be back.

    We met our friends from San Antonio at Pinkys for drinks. Everyone loved the atmosphere and the fun drinks! We ordered three different pizzas from next door which were delivered to us. John, the owner took excellent care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. I was impressed with how clean it was including the ladies room. We can't wait to go back and try other drinks on the menu. It's our new favorite place! 👍

    Great, homely bar for live jazz, great atmosphere, and tasty drinks! Highly recommend, can't wait to return. Came here on a Thursday evening, early on in the sets (8-9 PM). It was an open-play night, but was great getting to listen to musicians hone their craft in front of us. Music isn't deafening which is sometimes a qualm in other live music venues. Left before probably the busiest hours, so not sure how the crowd is on busier nights. Was plenty of seating and space when we were in though. Few cute neon signs inside if you're feeling taking cute pictures. Drinks were great, tried the Pinky's Punch and Bubbles Noir. Color / presentation was my only qualm (not very Instagram-able), but tasted great! No cover charge for the bar the night we came, don't believe there usually is on any other nights either. Service was excellent, bartender was polite, attentive, and friendly. Can't recommend the bar enough, go try it out if you want to have a nice night out!

    The atmosphere here is great. I believe the owner was behind the bar and he makes a delicious drink! Definitely grab a drink (or 2). He was incredibly personable and was kind enough to walk my friend and myself to our car since there was no one at the door that night. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    A truly great bar. All of the best ingredients for all the classic cocktails, champagne or otherwise. Drink prices are on the low side of what you would expect at such a classy place, averaging around $11, and John's skill at mixing your perfect drink is unparalleled. The decor and atmosphere are perfect. You can sit surrounded by the musicians and catch every note, or take a booth as far back as needed to carry on conversation. We visited on a Thursday - open jam night, and the music was fabulous. Every musician a master at his craft. Highly recommended.

    What a PHENOMENAL place. we had the bubbles noir (bitter but refreshing; very delicious). The bartender/owner also made us a custom cynar negroni, which was smooth, well-balanced, 10/10. Jazz band excellent. What a gem. Will be on our regular rotation for date nights.

    I'm just happy this place exists here in Fort Worth. Great jazz lounge bar. We heard a wonderful jazz trio on Saturday night, with Fort Worth institution Johnny Case. (No cover, which makes it perfect if you just have half an hour to get a drink and hear a little music.) Cocktails were lovely and everyone is always low key friendly and welcoming.

    We decided to try this place out. The only reason I'm not rating it higher is that the entertainment that night was not the best, not even really jazz sounded more like wispy folksy music. But the drink I had, a mimosa of sorts was pretty good and service was good. We will probably return again sometime to see if the music is any better.

    The management, cocktail artists, bar tenders are wonderful people! Authentic, genuine, REAL!! The music, jazz, and vibe is intoxicating. Enter in the back door at Pinky’s is like entering a speakeasy in the 20’s. If I’m in Ft. Worth for an evening, it’s not complete without a flute of champagne at Pinky’s! Stop in for a few minutes or a few hours. Cheers -PBO

    We had an event with 25 people recently. John (the owner took fabulous care of us). The atmosphere is old school with an area for a small jazz ensemble. We ordered pizza and dips from High Top next door (which they delivered) which was out of this world! My friends want to come back soon and do another event!

    Such a fun place. I went on a Wednesday (Happy Hour!) based on the pianist that evening and found a new venue that rings perfect for me. A jazz club with comfortable surroundings and great music. An adult venue where you can enjoy the performance and have a conversation at the same time! Couches, comfortable chairs, cocktail tables, bar seating. Very responsive service and GREAT drinks. A variety of champagnes, champagne cocktails I'd never heard of and look forward to trying, bottled champagne ranging widely in price up to Moet and Dom (for that special occasion!). Entertainment from solo piano to ensemble and Thursday's "open mic" where you never know what you'll get. Recently a group from a Broadway road show orchestra dropped in and performed. I recommend giving it a try if you like jazz in a comfortable place with unusual drinks!

    Pinky’s is the perfect date night spot or hangout with friends! I recommend the Golden Trumpet or Aperol Spritz. The inside is cozy and the live jazz music is incredible! I’ll definitely be coming back!

    I came by for Happy Hour on a Friday with my wife and it was such a fun place! It's dimly lit so it had speak easy vibes even though the sun was fully out. We had cocktails and champagne and listened to jazz music. It's a great change of pace for after work cocktails for when it's too hot to sit on a patio somewhere or you don't want to binge drink at a place that has 9 foot tall jenga. We will definitely be back to grab drinks before our dinner reservations next week.

    This is my new favorite place!! Amazing ambience, live music, delicious bubbles (that don’t break the bank), the best old fashioned in town. Thank you John and Dena for creating this fabulous spot for FW.

    What a great little place! Met friends for a birthday celebration and couldn't be happier. None of us had tried it before and what a pleasant surprise. Great cozy atmosphere, fantastic drinks, attentive bartender, and the jazz piano music really topped off the evening. it was the perfect place to relax in the comfy little booth and talk. Lots of photo ops with the fun decor as well. The smokey smell was a little strong but overall a great experience and we all can't wait to go back.

    It's a wonderful place to relax and hear great music, preferably jazz. The staff is very hospitable. I don't think food is served here.

  • 5/5 Merry C. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    We were in town on business and our local associate took us here. The owner (John) gave great recommendations on champagne based on what I said I like and don’t like. The cellist and other musician were amazing. As for the atmosphere and ambiance….perfect!!! If you are in Fort Worth this is a great place to go to! Thank you John!

    I recommend going to see how uniquely it is decorated! Even if you do not like champagne their mixed drinks are amazing and the bartender and waiters are very good. There is the bonus of having music there most nights too!

    I visited Pinky's this past weekend and I absolutely love this place! Great environment, wonderful drinks, awesome live music. I love it that everyone is having conversations and live music is playing, but you don't feel like you're screaming to be heard. I will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Jim C. 10 months ago on Google
    Awesome place! Great music. Great drinks. Atmosphere is perfect for a laid back evening or dressed up night on the town. Check it out!!

  • 5/5 LNS 1 year ago on Google
    Here - your glass never stays empty for long. Great music, amazing bartenders, a wonderful happy hour, and fantastic speciality cocktails - this place is more than a champagne room. It’s a wonderful spot to talk with friends, talk with bartenders, and just relax. Highly recommend!

    A secret gem 🤫 casual, laid back, with a pleasant crowd. We will definitely be back. Drinks are great and reasonably priced

  • 5/5 Andy B. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the vibe of this place. The staff is great. The cocktails are interesting. We will be back. My only feedback is it from the outside it’s hard to see that you’re open. You need better signage.

  • 2/5 Ryan C. 7 months ago on Google
    Good spot. Nice layout. Far cry from a champagne room. There’s no menu with a bottle worth ordering. We’ll come back when y’all serve champagne and not just sparkling wine cocktails.

  • 5/5 Charles H. 10 months ago on Google
    Pinky’s was awesome! Great vibes and proper service. Also, live jazz hits the spot. There are few places around that offer live jazz and no cover. A true speakeasy.

  • 5/5 Kayce R. 2 years ago on Google
    What a fun find! Very cool lounge with good drinks, very knowledgable bartenders, and live jazz music. This place definitely exceeded my expectations!

    My husband and I rarely go back to the same spots over and over because we love trying new things. But Pinky's is an exception. It's become our favorite bar for date nights and I always recommend it to anybody looking for a good time. Atmosphere is dark and cozy with fantastic live jazz, a classy speakeasy. Service is attentive but never disruptive. And the drinks are just excellent, made with care and at a fair price. I've tried almost everything there now, and my favorites are: the Bubbles Noir, a beautifully bitter and clean champagne cocktail with a grapefruit forward profile; and Dizzy's Golden Trumpet, an absolutely delicous lemon, honey and bourbon combination. The owner also makes an excellent Vieux Carré. Will always keep coming back for more jazz and cocktails, it never gets old here!

    Bubbles and live jazz. What more do you need. Always an amazing band playing. John is a master of the bar. Bring your friends and enjoy this laid back quintessential jazz spot.
