Wonderful little bourgie place on the west side of Ft. Worth. Intimate ambience and Professional bartenders, this is a bar above the bar!

Best experience I've had at a bar in Texas, period. No smoking, mandatory quiet music, off-menu drinks encouraged, skilled bartender with an awesome personality, and owners who care. The ambiance is quiet, inviting, and welcoming with a built-in fireplace and an actual "date" room built into the back that has more subdued lighting, even softer music, and a comfy couch. A variety of art decorates the walls each month as new, inspirational artists are featured. We were treated like friends from the moment we arrived to the time we left by Tyler, the bartender, and by Jesse, one of the owners. The drinks were creative, stylish, delicious, and they didn't break the bank, especially with the 5-8pm happy hour ($1 off beer and wine/ $2 off specialties). This is a spot for locals, regulars, and people who want a positive environment to hang out where they can actually hear each other. The music volume does get turned up a bit as more people fill up the space, but it's still easy to maintain a conversation without having to strain. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful lounge and even beautiful drinks. It was pretty cool watching them make craft cocktails- they tasted amazing! Can't wait to come back and catch the live music. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the trippy graphics on the tv. Nice way to keep the vibe chill and relaxing.

We're so happy to find The Basement Lounge. It's a great place to go and hang out with your friends and have great conversation and delicious drinks. You actually get a perfectly mixed drink here which is very hard to find these days. Each drink is bursting with flavor full liquor and mixes. It's great and quiet and people can talk and we just had a great time getting to know the bartender Tyler he's amazing. The craft & signature drinks that he created are so delicious and it's fun watching him make them... it's an art like a master of cocktails. A must visit for a nice night out!

This is one of the best cocktail bars in the DFW area. It's really chill with electronic music playing at a volume where you can still hold a conversation. The drink menu has some really good ones, highly recommend the gin cleanse and 817 Javatini.

Really like this little spot. Not a fan of loud clubs or bars, but this place is small, quaint, with just the right volume of music. Like that you can actually talk to your friends while enjoying a cocktail. Dont so much like the volume when they have live music, a bit unbearable... Their drinks taste very, VERY yummy and they pour just the right amount of alcohol so that your drinks get the mood going but don’t lose their flavor in alcohol. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Every single bourbon mix drink option is an excellent choice. Lennon the bartender is outstanding! His service and attitude create a great place to be.

This place is SUPER cute, low key, and very intimate. You can see the time dedication and care put into each drink and they were absolutely spectacular. The best espresso martini I’ve had. Perfect for date night, friends night, or just self outings! I will return!

The service is always amazing! Super friendly and love the sense of humor. You can bring in your own food which is a plus. The drinks are unique and delicious.

Taco truck upstairs, we had a guest making charcuterie today so we ordered one from her. Jesse is the greatest, an amazing host and now one of our friends. Thank you Jesse! Drinks are insanely good. Great selection, and fresh ingredients from his friends in town.
