Disgusting. Dirty, cheeseburger was some kind of meat - but not ground beef. Highlight of the night was the two rats that were walking along the vents near the ceiling. The disappeared into a large hole in the wall. Can't make this stuff up!! Bartender was very nice though. Drink beer out of the bottle (safest bet). I would not trust the glasses. read more

I know this word gets thrown around a lot but there is only one word to describe Red Goose: ratchet. If you find yourself at Red Goose on the second floor either a) you are ratchet and you know it or b) you have bamboozled into thinking you found a good hip hop bar in downtown Fort Worth. Surprisingly, I've been to Red Goose on at least three different occasions but let me explain. My first venture into Red Goose was during my time as a college student at TCU. There was a coupon (I kid you not) for buy one, get one free entry into Red Goose. Being broke college students, my friends and I decided to check it out. That was several years ago and it actually was not that bad. Fast forward four or five years and it has gone from being a place with decent hip hop music, an easily accessible bar, and decent crowd to being smoke filled and empty. There was a huge spot on the floor where the ceiling that looked like it might cave in at any second was leaking. The dance floor was empty but around the edges were people smoking what appeared to be Black & Mild cigars but smelled like something else if you catch my drift. There was some semblance of a "VIP" area and bottle service but who would want bottle service in such a ratchet place? I did not purchase any cocktails during my last visit but my friends said that they were $7 each. No way! Unless you like ratchet hole in the walls, I would advise that you stay away from Red Goose. read more

Gave us food poisoning on Saturday! Still feeling the affects today. Here's a tip, guys--if the meat is over cooked, it's probably rotten like the burgers we got. Thanks, guys. read more

Great dive, they had good live music, nice atmosphere and the bartenders are on their game. read more

Red Goose Saloon - We are stuck in a glass case of emotion! - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Waited an hour and half for this burger. Been flying all day and hadn't eaten...this was the only place open near our hotel. We ordered around 1:15 am..it was 2:20, the place was closed, and we were still sitting-waiting for our food. When I got back to my hotel, this is what I received. Needless to say, I was not happy. This was not just a "pink" burger...this was completely raw..literally the ground beef was falling out in its original raw form. read more

Red Goose Saloon - Waited an hour and half in the restaurant/bar for this burger - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I'm in Ft. Worth for a conference and ordered a brisket sandwich with cole slaw and fries. My order arrives at the hotel and I received a container of potato salad with a note on top saying "No Slaw." Happens to be that I am allergic to potatoes and couldn't even consider eating it. Since you had my number couldn't you have called me to tell me that item I selected was not available and ask what I would have preferred? I found myself hoping that the meal would be saved with the fries and brisket sandwich. The meat in my sandwich was primarily fat-I had to dig through it to find even small portions that were edible. I've eaten a lot of brisket from a lot of different restaurants across Texas and have never had one this bad. I essentially paid $15 for a basket of fries. VERY DISAPPOINTED. read more

This review is about the Cowtown Cabaret located above the saloon. It was simply awful. Not burlesque or a story about the old West as is advertised. Basically, it's three female performers (I say that with tongue in cheek) and one male singer. No class or style to speak of. The show didn't start until nearly 9:00 even though they advertise the doors open at 7:30. We were told the delay was due to us having to wait on ticket holders. Then we were told it was because their lead performer got stuck in a flood. If you look at other reviews this is the norm. Always late. If you want to see women showing T & A & hairy armpits or cellulite bottoms & bodies covered in tattoos you've come to the right place. We left at the break because it didn't get any better with time. There was a male performer who showed up in a cowboy hat & cow costume. Snoop Dog would be proud to call him "brother". He sang well enough if you could get past his mouthful of gold capped teeth. He kept trying to look sexy while engaging with their "lead" performer. Sadly, it wasn't working. A bunch of misfits trying to perform. Don't waste your money. Have a drink & some food downstairs in the saloon instead. read more

I recently have been going through a rough time and the staff here at Red Goose really helped me out. Great service industry atmosphere if that is what you are looking for. Monday night game nights are a new thing that I will be attending regularly. read more

One of my favorite places downtown. Friendly bartenders, good atmosphere, laid back customers. Decent (but small) food menu for such a bar. Food and drink prices are very fair. Fun, cool place to hang out right up til the live music starts. The music isn't terrible, but it's not good enough to stop conversations, conversations you have to shout to have over the very loud music. We always just check out when the singer starts. Maybe we should give the upstairs a try sometime. read more

Really gross small bar. Every time I come to this place the bathroom is filthy. A group of coworkers came here one day and ordered shots and everyone's shot glass was dirty gross. Everybody smokes inside so it's a huge cloud of smoke you leave smelling disgusting read more

Fun little dive bar. They have good drinks, friendly service, a cigarette machine, and the food is actually pretty good. The bathrooms could use an upgrade, it's a shared restroom and not very clean, but they have a jute box and everything is pretty fun! read more

Love this place, nice atmosphere and good staff. Nice local joint to have a drink and relax.

Went for Dinner and a Drag Show on Valentine's. Terrible experience. After arriving, we ordered a couple drinks and some cheese fries. It took an hour for the fries to arrive. Soon after, we ordered our entrees, which took over an hour to arrive as well. Our food (which ended up tasting like crap) didn't come out until after the show had ended. We were starving, and payed more attention to whether our food was coming and our rumbling stomachs than to the awful drag show. The only thing we were offered was a shot of Fireball. Our entire tab should have been comped. A huge disappointment especially considering the fact that we drove all the way from Dallas and it was Valentine's Day. Would not recommend. 0/10 stars. read more

This place is a little dirty but the staff makes up for the dilapidated interior. No speciality drinks. I do like their food. I had the BLT which was probably the most enjoyable part of the bar. read more

Red Goose Saloon - This place is the best place for lunch in downtown. - Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

The downstairs bartender had a sour ass look on his face the entire time, like we we were invading his space. Our bartender upstairs was more than amazing. She joked with and laughed with us. She made us feel like we were at home. It was super busy but she made us feel like we came first. And my shots were strong , I love that shit. read more

This place is disgusting. Filthy bathrooms and literally every spot on the bar was sticky. Pretty sure several of the customers were not of age. I am a fan of dive bars, but this place made me feel like I needed a long hot shower after I left. read more

There are a few things you can expect from dives. Less than the best quality of atmosphere, locals who are regulars, cheaper prices among other things. The quality was in question due to the shaky old wood floors that moved beneath my feet like I was on the USS Constitution from 1797. Everything had a notable mix of faux aging mixed with real aging so it was confusing if it was chic or dilapidated which would send hipsters into a confused frenzy. The tables were basic, stools cut my girlfriend but they had Golden Tee so it didn't alienate the frat-centric. The upstairs was also shut down and a begrudging stool was there to be the impassable Gandalf prohibiting us from passing. Low lights but plenty of good sports on the TVs which let you know yes, you are in dive central in downtown Ft Worth and this is probably the last bar open on a Monday night. The locals were a classy bunch which included a red faced guy with a hunter orange Under Armour cap who was grinding on ladies to the likes of Eminem. Decent twerking from a country white boy on some intoxicated lady groups. Also in this motley crew were a few mouthy ladies with clothes a bit too tight and morals a little too loose. I am not judging but you'll see why if you read on and you'll be rewarded. A gentleman from my group decided to chat up one of the regulars who were at a large table. They were chatting each other up and seemed to be getting along just fine when one of the girls came and offered to buy us shots if we make our friend leave her alone.........Yeah I was equally as confused. We declined but she would not let go and let us know if we did she was going to knock him out. We laughed, but she was serious and seriously inebriated. Just like Lions on the Savannah a few of the ladies pounced on him as he went to the bathroom yelling insults and calling him a Ninja Turtle. Sidenote: When I quizzed them about their TMNT knowledge they were lacking greatly, which was the most troublesome of all. The bartender broke things up before violence occurred but the yelling commenced, like I said these ladies were classy. We left with a pretty bad taste in our mouth but lots of laughs and stories about the Red Goose. The prices were cheap and the service was just fine completing the triumvirate of the dive. Go to the Goose if you are not going to be too serious with a group of friends. Like watching a bad B movie keep your expectations low and the sense of humor high and you can have fun. read more

Do not ever go here my card was skimmed & over 400 in fraudulent gas stations charges in a few hours, caught it already thank god , they keep your card behind the bar and swipe them up to make cards later on. go somewhere else & never use a card here. read more

Red Goose is a total goose egg. This rundown, ramshackle building with no heat, holes in the walls and doors that don't close is the new home to H2 Burger. After reading (apparently a paid review) in the Star Telegram about this great new burger created by an alleged Cordon Bleu trained chef and selling just one on it's first day because the weather kept the expected crowds away, my friends and I decided to get out of the house after the snow days and try the $8 gourmet creation. After we stood in the entrance for about 5 minutes with no acknowledgement from the (only) waitress/bartender, we decided to seat ourselves at one of the (only) 7 (dirty) tables where we waited about 10 more minutes. There were about 4 people at the bar and one table of 2 in the restaurant. Finally the waitress takes our drink order and we all ordered beer on tap. 3 of 4 of us were given bottled beer because they were out of clean glasses...seriously?...on day 2??? We each ordered a different burger and one ordered grilled cheese. We waited 30 minutes for three burgers while one was forgotten altogether. We all got onion rings...well...I only got 4...which were the only saving grace about the entire dining experience...because they were out of french fries...again, seriously?...on day 2??? We got plastic forks...we assumed they were out of regular forks, and only bar napkins...because they were out of real napkins or never ordered?? Not sure...there were no apologies or explanations for any of the unusual things about this "restaurant." My burger was described as "stuffed with cremini mushrooms" when, in reality is was just topped with mushrooms. Fort Worth, Texas is no place to serve a burger with mayonnaise and it wasn't described that way on the menu...very disappointing. We weren't asked how we liked our burgers cooked and when someone asked, we were told medium to medium well. Yeah, Right. These burgers are described at 1/2 pound and they are small but tall and most were served rare. Our guest who ordered griiled cheese described it as "funky," likely because he had never had a grilled cheese with arugula. We ate in our coats, scarves and gloves because the place is freezing...we estimated the temperature inside to be in the mid 40's. The waitress was borderline rude and seemed to lack perception to discern guests were having a horrendous dining experience. One of the members of our party went to the (only) restroom while there and commented that if she had seen it before we had eaten, that we wouldn't have stayed. Bottom line, this place is dirty and understaffed, and the staff they have is unconcerned about customers' poor impressions. The food is average at best. This is a filthy layup for the health department and a terrible representation of Fort Worth to Super Bowl visitors. read more

YEEEHA!!! Have you ever been stuck in Texas and just wanted to do something other than see people Line Dance and Lasso A Bunch of cows? What smells of cigarette smoke, ass, and bounces up and down like a fat girl greased down in sweat on a trampoline? RED GOOSE... Well, normally when I am in the DFW area I hit up Dallas, after all it is pretty much a City and has things to do, no matter how slow it may be to California. However, each and every time I was told about Fort Worth and it's "Nightlife" scene and how it was more "Chill" than Dallas. So I decided to check it out. Why not? First and foremost, I hit this place up on a Thursday night and it was pretty packed. There are two rooms, one the entry level and another upstairs, which actually doubles as a "club". The entry level is nothing more than a typical bar with some seating. Most people were lined up to get upstairs where the "Dance Floor" is located. I waited downstairs taking several trips to the bar, getting back in line, and then back to the bar. After all, this line was not moving at all. Good thing there is a bar downstairs to help relieve the boring wait. Downstairs the DJ was playing your typical mash ups and mixing them horribly. I do not know what was more painful, the wait in line or listening to this dude mix. LOL. Anyhow, after a good hour wait, yes a whole hour. They let us upstairs. Prior to making upstairs I was joking with some people behind me and saying watch, it will be just as lame upstairs as it is down here. DING DING DING, I should be award points because after waiting an hour, I was upstairs, drink in hand, and literary pissed off. The only difference was a super packed dance floor smelling of sweat, cigarette smoke, and ass. It was TOO pack for me. The dance floor was fun though, everyone was getting down and it felt like a trampoline since the floors are wooden upstairs. But ultimately, it was not worth the wait but I could see why people waited to get in and have fun. After all it is Fort Worth and this little hole in the wall place is suitable for your avg night out.. So 3-5 being it is avg. and I must say I was surprised. I had a decent time indeed. read more

Love this place! Drinks are strong, bartender's friendly, and the live music on Thursdays is always awesome.

Never go there on a night that Ashlee is not working, I always have fun there but I went in on a night a new girl was working and she was very rude because she doesn't know how to make drinks so when I explained to her what was in it she went to the extreme of mocking me to the other guest, then days later started untrue claims about me. I will not be back as long as she is working there. read more

This is a neat bar/danceclub located at the north end of Sundance Square in what appears to be part of an old movie theater. The crowd here is consistently aged in the twenties and thirties and ranges from coworkers meeting for an after-work drink during the week to full blown club-goers ready to shake their moneymakers on the weekends. What makes this bar unique is its bi-level bar & danceclub setup. The lower half is the bar which, on the weekends, has a live DJ which plays mostly dance/techno while the upper half is a bar/dancefloor which has a live DJ spinning hip-hop. This makes the venue unique in its diversity of music as well as partygoers. Transitioning from downstairs to upstairs, or vice versa, is almost like changing venues entirely. The lower bar area is a single open room with a bar extending along one wall. Tables occupy the open floor in the center. Even on the weekends this area never seems to get really packed, so theres always room down here to chill with friends. The DJ booth overlooks this area. If one weren't familiar with this bar, it would seem from first glance to never be a very popular spot, but this is where the more experienced Red Goose patrons know better. A quick trip upstairs finds this bar's dancefloor packed shoulder to shoulder during the weekends. Upstairs is a smaller bar which occupies one wall, as well as a single pool table near the rear. Towards the front of this upstairs area is the dancefloor and DJ booth. Sometimes it gets so jumping in here that you can actually feel the floor flexing beneath your feet! If you're looking for a popular hip-hop/rap spot to dance at, I can't think of another place close by that even compares. Overall I like this bar because of the diversity to be found under one roof. There IS a cover charge on weekends, although its never more than a few dollars and always worth it. Whether you want to dance or you want to chill you can do it here and have fun. read more

Great bartenders at Red Goose. Doubles are inexpensive. Try the reopened kitchen. We had sliders that rivaled Casino el Camino in Austin. I would recommend asking for no pickles.
