LEAGUE Loves Fort Worth: Some of Our Favorite Patios!
It’s patio season! As summer arrives in Fort Worth, the weather has been warming but is not yet hotter than Hades. It’s that time of year when Fort Worthians take to the streets and trails to walk, bike and, of course, eat! Our city offers plenty of options when it comes to outdoor eating, from laid back to sophisticated, from burgers to wine cafes. We asked our agents where they like to go to enjoy outdoor dining and here are their responses on some of their favorite patios in Fort Worth!
HG Supply
Westbend
Right on the Trinity River and offering an array of delicious, clean eating options, HG Supply has quickly become a Fort Worth favorite. Started by four friends in Dallas, HG stands for “Hunter-Gatherer,” which hints at the hearty, wholesome fare they offer up. They also offer top-notch craft cocktails and a laid-back open-air environment. Bring your kids, bring your pets, or bring your significant other. We highly recommend staying for the sunset salute, when the manager offers a collective toast to the day! Learn More
Gemelle
The River District
Tim Love’s newest restaurant venture has been stirring up quite the buzz lately. Named after his twin daughters, Ella and Anna, Gemelle (which means “twins” in Italian and is pronounced “jay-MEL-leh”) serves up fresh Italian fare in a garden patio environment. Growing its own vegetables and herbs on site, the real glory of this spot is it’s outdoor space. Guests can wander among the gardens, play bocce ball, and enjoy impeccable pizzas and pastas on a vibrant patio. Learn More
Reata’s Rooftop
Downtown
Reata was founded in 1995 in Alpine, Texas by rancher Al Micallef and businessman Mike Evans. But their “crowning glory” and favorite location is the one in Sundance Square, which opened its doors in 2002. Famous for their mouthwatering Texas cuisine, the downtown location boasts a rooftop bar and patio with gorgeous views of the city and a breezy atmosphere even on the warmest of Texas evenings. The food, the atmosphere, and the drinks are some of the best Fort Worth has to offer. Learn More
Winslow’s Wine Cafe
Arlington Heights
On the bricks of Camp Bowie you will find a beautiful little restaurant and wine bar called Winslow’s. Named after a beloved blue-heeler puppy, Winslow’s was founded by two brothers who wanted to create a neighborhood gathering place. Today it is just that, an atmosphere both relaxed and sophisticated offering a truly superb menu as well as an impressive wine list. Learn More
Press Cafe
Clearfork
A newer addition to the Fort Worth restaurant world, Press offers many unique features including a modern aesthetic, a large patio upstairs for events, plenty of outdoor seating and fire pits for the colder months, as well as a large open space for games, events, and a farmers market on the weekends. On top of this its location right on the Trinity River makes it a popular watering hole for bikers, joggers, or families out enjoying the Trinity Trails. Learn More
Central Market
Chapel Hill Shopping Center off Hulen
On a beautiful weekend in Fort Worth you are pretty much guaranteed to run into someone you know on the large, open-air patio at Central Market. Part grocery store and part gourmet delicatessen, Central Market offers something for everyone. You can grab a sandwich or pizza from the counter, create your own salad, or warm up a prepared meal from their incredible selection. You can grab a bottle of wine or a couple of cold beers to share with friends and sit and enjoy live music under the Texas sky. And if you have kids, the playground adjacent to the patio is a lifesaver. Learn More
Rodeo Goat
West 7th Area
If you bring up favorite burgers in Fort Worth you may start a heated and never-ending debate. However, most will agree that the burgers offered up at Rodeo Goat are some of the best in town. Offering everything from classic to exotic (try the “Salted Sow” made with Italian sausage or the “Bad Hombre” which includes mango pico, maple bacon, and a cream cheese spread), the atmosphere exudes Fort Worth casual with nods to our rodeo roots. The outdoor space is large and seating at the picnic tables is abundant. Brings friends or family and be prepared to leave incredible full! Learn More
Spiral Diner
Southside
You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy this funkytown gem. Right in the heart of Near Southside’s Magnolia Ave, Spiral has the feel of a 1950’s diner and serves up all kinds of tempting fare with the added environmental, health, and humanitarian bonus that it’s all vegan! When the weather is nice, you can enjoy vegan pancakes or Nachos Supremo on the small brick patio and watch the people of Magnolia pass by. Learn More
