I hear that getting tickets early would have been 10.00 instead I was disappointed this year because what makes it so nice in the past was the music (piano, bell choirs, singers) was not even happening.Also, the grand room in the main house was made into a food competition and all the seating Wass removed making it v very tiresome to try to eat and not be able to sit down and actually enjoy the food and vote properly.(this no voting for me) The Jr house was nice as usual however lots of the previous venders where no there and seemed to be only children's things or "network marketers" I guess it Was just to great an experience to expect it to last forever. Maybe new direction is what they want however it lost its wonderful feel like in years past

Overall, it was an experience completely driven by the company you bring yourself. The group I was with had rented out one of the patio sections but there was no sign or anything to make it clear to other people that we paid for the space so we had to eventually ask staff to kick out people that would not leave. Instead of the scheduled live music that was posted online, the entire afternoon was spent on Mexican bingo, which drew a fun crowd having a great time but wasn't the casual hangout that we had planned on having. I do like that you can order food from next door, a feature I am seeing at more and more bars to expand offerings and keep people fed while drinking without all the fuss of adding a kitchen. Overall, it was an average experience. I think if there was a little more organization and some more shade, it would be a solid 4.

You won't have a problem getting a table unless you're coming in with a party larger than five. Do note that this restaurant closes early for a restaurant that has a bar. I got a fish of the day. The price of fish seems to be heavily subsidized by club membership fees paid for by companies. Restaurants tend to charge around or more than $45 for a fish dish. This fish of the day didn't even cost $40, and I left satiated by the portion size. The bread was delicious, and the butters were shaped beautifully. I just wish I got the bread before all the food was done. Since bread is usually an appetizer. All in all, a membership isn't worth it for here unless your company pays for it or you regularly host large gatherings and feel the desire to impress your guests.

I was in a pretty prominent ska band in the early 2000's. I don't want to big time anyone or…read moreanything, but we were on a tribute to Moon Ska Records compilation that was only available via LP. We were booked to play 1919 during our North Texas tour one Summer. Needless to say, we were disappointed when we arrived. First off, the front of the venue was filled with loiterers. We're not even sure if everybody paid cover. This was incredibly disappointing to us, because we then found out that our booking fee would not be paid even though it was properly invoiced TWICE. The 90's are over too. No one is impressed with your ripped clothes, guys. Now, let's go on to the actual venue. Inside, the best I can describe it is if The Hurt Locker met Rock Star met, had a child, and then abandoned the child in Fort Worth. The green room was non existent. I don't mean like "They don't have bottled water." I mean that it didn't exist. No security at all. You might as well host a punk show in your Uncle's basement. Couple that with the sound and lighting that resembles an inner city middle school talent show, and you have a failure of a venue. At the end of the day, we played to 20-30 kids who were all wearing Minor Threat shirts. We were not allowed to play our mandatory encore, the show wasn't photographed or covered by local media, and we left without any money. 1919 Hemphill will never be a House of Blues, and they should just stop trying.

I left there and was…read moreitching for the rest of the day (but I did wander into the back area which had high grass so that may have been where they came from) I have to completely agree with KAI S. on this one. (Without repeating what was said in that great review) I was so excited to find a place in Fort Worth that shared similar ideas to things / ideals that I'm into (Community, Punk Rock, etc.). So I tried to get involved. I attended a meeting, met the "leadership" and listened to what they had to say. (I even came back to help them with their fence) To me, I felt like the passion that (I'm sure) they had a long time ago had fizzled out. It seemed like some of the members were excited for trying to get stuff together (Conscientious Projector), but for the most part the attitude was just... whatever. So in the end, it was like the "leadership" just wants to run a punk club without all the responsibilities of actually running one. But they are helping little unknown bands to get some exposure (Matt & Kim called them out during their concert @ the House of Blues, Dallas) and I commend them for that. And for that reason alone, I would suggest going there (to see little to unknown bands). I really hope that somehow that spark comes back to them (maybe they need a experienced volunteer event manager to help things out). To see a similar type place that has had more success recently (as far as getting involved in the community aspect), then look at the Rose Marine Theater. http://www.rosemarinetheater.com/index.php

The BBQ was good but I had overheated and only ordered the sausage for the sake of trying it while I was in TX. My son got a massive burger and fries which he said was delicious. $11 Half lb pepper sausage $10 fried pickles $14 Jack & jalapeno burger There are numerous bars everywhere, gift shop at the entry, an arena by the main bathrooms, pool tables scattered about ($2 to play) and a stage near the restaurant. It was nice being able to enjoy live music and relax. Love the dimmed setting, wooden tables, metal hardware and fixtures, repurposed barrel tables, and neon lights. Most people were dressed up with cowboy boots and hats. Cute couples on dates playing pool and enjoying the ambiance.

Since we were already heading to the Stockyards, we were recommended to check out Billy Bob's…read moreTexas, especially because I brought my friend visiting from Ireland who was super interested in country line dancing! General admission is pretty reasonable--usually around $6 to $8 depending on the day and time you go. The place is absolutely massive!! I had no idea that it was so big!! Not only is there a whole dedicated dance floor but tons of pool tables, arcade games, and even a full indoor rodeo arena for live bull riding! I was misled and thought there was a mechanical bull.. there is not unfortunately but there is like a fake bull you can pay and take photos with. We happened to walk in right in the middle of a line-dancing class, which was super fun to watch! It's pretty amazing how quickly the dancers, both men and women, picked up the steps and choreography. They were all super good! Afterwards, it transitioned into open floor dancing, which was equally entertaining in my opinion! As a first-timer, it was a total blast and it's easy to see why it's such an iconic tourist destination. We didn't end up eating here since we had just grabbed dinner at Cattlemen's nearby, but the BBQ and other food options here didn't look super appetizing. Still, for drinks, dancing, and authentic Texas atmosphere, it's a must-visit when you're in the Stockyards!
