    This place had a great atmosphere. The steak I got here was good but the truffle fries could've been better. And the drink was good.

    So the wife likes to find cool little spots that serve great cocktails and she found this place, Refinery 714 in Fort Worth. We normally don't go to Fort Worth for anything and I really didn't want to for this place, but she was wanting to nice drink for the evening, so I promised her we would go. It's actually in a nice area in downtown Fort Worth atop The Harper building with nice views. We got there a little before 5:30 and found seats closest to the end of the bar, because like some have mentioned, if tons of people are at the bar, it's kind of tough to order a drink. There is plenty of seating once you get your drink, but yeah. Anywho, things started off great, the drinks were nice and strong. Tori the senior bartender made me a drink called The Last Words, which was really great. There was another younger bartender I forget her name but let's just call her Madison, she looked like a Madison, she made my other drink I forgot what it was called. We had a total of 2 drinks each, which is all you need. Besides the drink and the views, we wanted to give this cheeseburger a try. So, the wife ordered her cheeseburger because she wanted to eat it there, I wanted mine to go because I wanted to focus on the drink The wife said the burger was perfectly cooked and the fries were fully nicely cooked. So, when her burger hit the bar, I placed my order with Madison to go, so that when I my wife finished eating, mine should be ready to go. Well, I did notice that Madison didn't seem to put the order in right at that moment, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she seemed to put something about 5 minutes later, but it was for drinks and not my order. So, when we were ready to get our bill and leave, I mentioned that I should have a to go order but it's still not here yet and THAT'S when I saw Madison scrambling to finally put that to go order in and that meant that we had to wait even longer for my order. Shortly after that I overheard Madison tell Tori that she f*#&%d up and didn't put my order in earlier like she should have and Tori said don't worry about that we probably forgot about it or didn't care, so when I heard that, I was furious. I did bring it to Tori's attention that I did hear the conversation between her and Madison and didn't appreciate the comment and that was unacceptable. I was then offered a complimentary drink for our troubles, but I declined. Over all, we had a great time, the drinks were good and the burger and fries were spot on. The reason for the 1 star is because Madison forgot to put my order in and Tori's comment.

    We love Refinery 714 at the top floor of the Kimpton on our staycations. The food and drinks are outstanding and the overall vibe is great! The service here is top notch. We will definitely return!

    What a treat, this bar! It's on top of the Kimpton Hotel that has an easy to find valet. We came to Refinery 714 for before dinner drinks. It was perfect! We had to try some fries too; wowza, we almost ate the entire massive plate of them. I LOVED the Tipsy Tori; I'll be back for that girl. Yum! This is a cool place to hang with friends and maybe even play some cards.

    Great service and conversation with bartenders Zach, Tori (sp.) and server Riley. Didn't try the food but the Berry Bliss with local condigo tequila had some heat but I really enjoyed the local "Shiner Bock" on draft. I had 2 glasses due to the suggestion made by the bartenders... When in Texas you gotta try "local".

    Great new spot on the 24th floor penthouse of the new Kimpton Harper hotel. The building was built in 1921 and they have done a great job restoring it. The bar has 360 views of downtown and lots of modern seating. Drinks are tasty and staff incredible

    Torrie is amazing! Thank you for the tasty snacks and sips! Our busy work night sure appreciated you!!

    Here in town, checked in to the hotel, came up to sit around and enjoy the open space and view. Had a drink, it was good, not very strong... It was a nice place to sit without going outside.

    As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced: + Zack was very welcoming, personable, and extremely efficient. + Comfortable atmosphere. + Quality of food was excellent. - Managed to an inadequate level to handle food orders on a Sunday night, Zack's oversight is the only reason for no downgrading my previous 5-Star to a 2-Star. If you are in the area and don't take the time to dine here, you missed out on a superb experience.

    Sydney made a yummy rum and cranberry drink to accommodate my citrus allergy.
    Tiffany F.

    Cute decor, welcoming atmosphere and great customer service! Bartender Sydney made greater suggestions to accommodate my citrus allergy. Gave four stars instead of five just because they don't offer Apple martinis which are my favorite! Other than that great place for Saturday afternoon hangout!

    Cool atmosphere
    Vanetta G.

    I don't know why this place doesn't have higher reviews. The bartender was super personable. (And I kinda wanted that apron for myself.) The views were great, and the space was super cool and relaxing. My husband and I enjoyed all the drinks we ordered. If we find ourselves back in Fort Worth we'd bop back up there for another delicious libation.

The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.

They had a few rooms you could reserve for a private party. They offer a brunch menu until 3pm but you can also order off their dinner menu if you so choose. Since this was our first visit we had a difficult time deciding what to have. Our waiter was very accommodating & didn't make any of us feel rushed. For our extremely picky eater the kitchen made adjustments to make sure he had an enjoyable meal. After we made our selections, I feel like our food arrived in a very timely fashion & everyone was very pleased with their selections. Their mustard seed ketchup was interesting to see but very tasty. Even our picky eater thought it was good not that he strayed from the regular ketchup! The only thing we didn't try was their whisky cake because we were too full from our meals. My wife thinks this means we should go back just for appetizers & dessert. Which of course we will plan on soon. All in all it more than deserves 5 stars. And I wish we had taken photos but we were enjoying being with the kids too much to bring our phones out. Definitely put this location on your radar, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all!

    Shut up and take my money…read more Impeccable service. Staff was super helpful, over the phone answering queries about wait time and in person. The servers are very knowledgable about the food and drinks and were able to break down the mixology (my husband found a new favorite whiskey). As always, hubby asked for the dairy-based condiments to be left off his dishes, and although he has more of an intolerance than an actual allergy, the server (without being asked) consulted the chef and was able to list every dairy ingredient in every dish, down to the milk powder in the brioche. (You'd be surprised how often the staff just shrugs and has no idea what's in their own food.) I believe no matter what you order, it will be one of the finest examples of that menu item you will ever taste. We had the crab cake appetizer, prime rib and gouda stack, french onion burger, chips, fries, whiskey cake, and cocktails. My husband's old fashioned was the best old fashioned he had ever tasted. He ordered a second. The food was sublime, each menu item was either delicious or outstanding. Whiskey cake is the only item on their dessert menu because it is the only dessert you will need. It is their version of a sticky toffee pudding. It's huge. We were there for a birthday, so we were given the whiskey cake for free. I'd say the margarita was just a margarita, and the water in the fancy jug was definitely gross tap water, but every other food and drink item was perfection. The restaurant is appealing and clean inside. I am glad we were seated in one of the side porch areas where there is sunlight and fewer folks. The interior is quite dark and loud, but nothing outrageous. It's just that style of restaurant. Happy hour is weekdays 3-6, with a small selection of popular drinks for $7.

The space is large, comfortable, and full of life, even on a Wednesday evening. There are cozy sofa corners if you want something a little more intimate, plus an outdoor area that's "outside"... but not too outside, which honestly feels like a win. Drinks were a highlight. My boulevardier was spot on, and then I shared a smoked Old Fashioned with my friend that was just... exquisite. Smooth, balanced, and a little dramatic in the best way. Food held its own. The chicken and waffles were delicious, the chopped chicken salad was fresh and satisfying, and my friend's Reuben got a lot of love from her side of the table. And then came dessert. We shared the Whiskey Cake with praline ice cream, and let's just say, it lives up to the name. Decadent, rich, and absolutely worth it. Service was really good. Attentive without hovering, and thoughtful in those small ways that stand out. At one point, our server split the Old Fashioned for us without us even asking. That kind of anticipation earns points. This is the kind of place you return to when you're back in town. Comfortable, reliable, and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat.

The day we visited there were food trucks and other events. They also had live music on the patio They offer tours of the distillery, which I would very much recommend. You can purchase tickets online. While you wait in their cozy lounge area, go up to the bar and try one of their signature (or classic) cocktails. The cocktails at the bar are tasty and fun. The gin is their best seller, and it was honestly my favorite. I would also recommend their old fashion The tour was very interesting. You start in a large drinking hall where everyone has covered tasting samples. Each sample has information provided, and there is plenty of water to keep you hydrated and to cleanse the palate. The tour guide walks you through the tastings, and provides some history and other information. When we went we tasted their vodka, 1800s Bourbon, honey whiskey, their gin, and another whiskey. After the tasting you walk through the distillery and get a tour of where the magic happens (stills, filtration, labs, storage, etc). The operation is truly incredible, and the tour offers a variety of great picture-taking moments with beautiful pieces of equipment, walls lined with wooden barrels, and neon novelty signs Some tips: They frequently do events, and you can see their schedule online. They had a Father's Day promo code when we went that got Dad's in for free. They also had a cigar vendor and lounge that gave away cigars to dads. It was pouring rain when we arrived, the walk from the parking lot to the front door isn't covered, so, plan accordingly. If you do a tour and have a designated driver they don't have to pay, but they will have to sit at a separate table during the tasting portion Cheers!!
