Didn't have any eats while i was here. Did have quite a few drafts. Bartenders were attentive and took the time to make suggestions. Service was good. The ambiance is what makes this place a gem. I've never been to England but I have spent time in Old Town Sydney and this place basically made me feel like I was on the otherside of the planet. The bar is cozy and fairly small so if you like to listen in on conversation. This is the place. You are basically guaranteed to make friends in this joint. I went alone for a beer or two and ended up meeting a few couples and some stand alones. Everyone was friendly and welcoming! read more

Bartenders were great. Classic pub feel. We went there before and after a concert at the Dickies Arena for drinks. Smithwick's on tap was money. read more

Like being in the Local in the UK Perfect temp for British Beer, and a game of darts. read more

Im remiss as this is by far my fav find here in fort worth. From the first night I came in, the staff were welcoming and delightful. No food here but a nice craft beer selection while holding true to their "pub" roots. They also have full bar. I made the mistake of mentioning the smoke on my first visit and the bar keep from england bellowed how he would be moving back home if they make fort worth smoke free. If you have the pleasure of encountering the barkeep John you will leave with a smile on your face and maybe ringing eardrums lol. His voice carries. Yes yes, I have to take my customary star away for the smoking inside. It can get BAD some nights. They do have a small patio out front. But come on in anyway one time, have a ballast point sculpin for me and tell the bar keeps hello for me and I miss them. Cheers! read more

Ye Olde Bull and Bush - Half n half. Not bad - Pubs Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Pint nights are my favorites. This place have their pop up version of pint nights. They don't do it often but when they do, expect a great cheery welcome form the bartender/s. They smoke here but when the weather is nice their double doors are open to the outside so it's not that bad. I always like to come in early during pint nights to enjoy my beer and whilethe place isn't busy yet. No elbow to elbow fight to get a beer. Btw, this is y second time here. The first one was a blur and a bit rainy so I didn't get to see and feel the whole Ye Olde Bull and Bush experience. This is a laid back and just kick it place (I just wish they don't smoke). I will definitely come back again for one of their busy nights and of course their pint nights. read more

Open 365 days a year! Yay for a great Christmas Eve gathering spot! So yes, it's pretty smoky because you can smoke inside, but that just made me feel kind of like I was transported back to my younger days before all the smoking bans :) Super friendly staff, good liquor selection, and the wines aren't bad. I'm sure the beer selection is great too, but I don't drink beer so I didn't check it out. read more

First time for me coming to this place. It has a great beer selection of Irish/English beers on draft and more on can/bottle. Service is friendly and quick. Has a smoking section, but that shouldn't bother you if you regularly go to bars. Great standalone bar read more

The place still smells of stale smoke. Rude bartenders and they don't take American Express. I guess we aren't in America? Stay clear of this trashy place. read more

Such a great place. On a warm evening, sitting outside at the B&B cannot be beaten. This is a great local pub. The owner, Nick, always greets you with a smile. The beer selection is solid, with a dozen or so taps and a bunch of interesting bottled beers and ciders to choose from. The only drawback is that it can get quite smoky indoors. But, just head outside to the patio and that's not really an issue. read more

This place knows exactly what it is, a friendly neighborhood pub. It's not fancy but they serve great drinks. Have a great dart scene and a large selection of English/Irish beers. Everyone in there was so friendly, awesome place. read more

Good local neighborhood bar. Pros: Cheap specials Strong pours Decent patio with several tables Bathrooms just one stall, but surprisingly clean Cons: Smokey Gets a little too "local" some nights Small space, gets cramped when it's busy But, it's a bar. They serve good drinks. I'll be back. read more

I've been in on a couple of occasions as of this writing and really dig the cut of this joint's jib: when they tell you that it's long been a staple on the local beer hoisting scene, one doesn't really have to make much of a mental leap to understand that - whenever I've stopped by there's been a regular flow of, well, regulars, and a dazzling array of brews at the ready. Bar service is congenial and seemingly accustomed to the inquisitive chats that come with the territory, and most of these conversations arrive with the expected hoppy incentives: those kind of stories one tells when confronted by good beer, classic rooms, dripping in history. I want to get back and take a shot at the jukebox, which I've not laid bare just yet, but that's coming. Note that it can get a tad smoky, but less than some other local haunts (in my experience, sounds like maybe I caught them on a better set of nights). Be back soon. read more

The Ye Olde Bull and Bush (B & B as I like to call it) is definitely one of my faves in Fort Worth! My friends and I have a standing Happy Hour here (almost) every Friday. They have Hot-n-Spicy or Salted Peanuts, they allow you to bring your dogs, and they make a mighty good Black and Tan and Snakebites! My favorite time to go is before 5pm, so that I can snag a table outside on a nice cool afternoon. The bar has some great brews on tap and they have a full bar available for those crazy non-beer lovers. The only negative is that the interior has really bad ventilation, so it definitely gets really, really smoky--even when the place isn't full However, that is the only negative thing I have to say about this place. Bring on the cool fall temps, Texas! read more

Everything a fella could ask for in a pub. Live music, good times, great beer selection, darts, pool, friendly staff. On the occasion we went, there was a Scottish band jamming it out with violins, mandolins, bag pipes, etc. It was ruling. If the Bull and Bush was closer to my house, I'd be there every weekend. read more

My favorite bar, hands down. It's a genuine pub with a laid back atmosphere, good jukebox, and diverse regulars. Side notes: Not sure why the description says outdoor/patio only for smoking- you can smoke inside (as with any Ft. Worth bar only, at least for now)- the ventilation isn't great, but you can open one of the doors to make it less smokey. Also, not sure why it says live music. This is a small bar... the only place for a band might be where the dart boards are, and that would piss off a lot of people. Occasionally though, a group of Guinness girls and a guy playing a bagpipe will walk in, if that counts as live music. :) read more

Great place to meet friends and have drink. Happy hours are great and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is great and not pretentious but warm and welcoming. read more

Best white russians I've ever had. Super cool, hole-in-the-wall, neighborhood pub. There is something about a bar with a juke box that gives the right casual and cool vibe. With a full bar, there is something for everyone here (but get a white russian). The place is chill. They have bar games and such and it's not too loud to have a conversation. Really knowledgeable bar staff. Wish we could come here more often. They let dogs in too! Please support this local bar! read more

The staff is great, and the selection completely spoiled my taste for domestic beer. Andy Rutigliano read more

Never been here before but some friends had invited us up, get there the first thing we noticed was the smell eewwww, no ventalation what so ever, very smokey, real pricy for the place and will will never go back read more

The right mix of patrons every time I visit. The staff is always pleasant and the owner is fantastic. All bars should aspire to be this great. read more

The Bull and Bush. "The Pub." Or just simply the place to grab a drink. This little pub in "the British tradition" is a fantastic place to sit back, relax, and shoot the breeze with whoever you happen to find. If you're rolling in alone or with a big group the Bull and Bush will treat you right. The barkeeps know what they're doing and they are happy to help in anyway you need. There is a steady group of regulars eager to regale you with their tales of times past. The drink specials are something to behold so you shouldn't walk away thirsty. So next time you're around the cultural district, stop in at the pub. You'll be happy you did. read more

Great hole in the wall bar. Since my last name is McLean, my husband and I are generally picky on Scottish/Irish/English style pubs. This place is legit. They have a really good beer selection with drafts and a lot of bottles. There were several I haven't seen before and it looks like they change it out for seasonal and what people are asking for. It is very casual and was a great place to end an evening with some good beers and have a nice conversation with friends. There is nothing fancy or frilly here, just good beer and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Great local dive. Trivia on Monday nights- lots of fun! Good beer selection and it's never too crowded. It's smoking indoors but they leave the doors open so it stays aired out. It's usually a older crowd. I can count on it being low key. People bring dogs- not too sure how I feel about that in general. Dogs in a bar... meh. Leave your pup at home. Or at least keep him on the patio. At some point it's not fun for the dog anymore, ya know? read more

This little bar on Montgomery used to be an auto repair shop once upon a time. Now it's a cool place to hang out with your dog, play some board games provided on the shelf, and enjoy the patio on a nice day. Go early for a table and to dominate the juke. I'm not sure about the men's room, but the ladies room is large enough to hold a meeting. There is a great beer selection and the staff is nice. Great local hangout! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Not only do they have an excellent selection of beers, they also have a very knowledgeable staff. The bartenders are always friendly, plus the building itself is charming, with loads of character. My favorite thing about this place is that is extremely pet friendly. They usually keep the doors open if the weather is nice, which helps with ventilation if your concerned about second hand smoke for you or your pet. All in all it is one of my favorite bars in Ft Worth. I wish I could get this kind of service everywhere. read more

I can't give anything less than 5 stars to the Ye Old Bull and Bush. During my first and only visit to Texas, this was everything I wanted in a Texas dive bar. We went there after dinner on Thanksgiving! Sure, we were the only ones there but it was awesome. We threw some darts and nursed our drinks as the bartender puffed away on his stogie. Hell yes. read more

Love this place! It's my neighborhood pub. It's nothing fancy. They have darts and damn good beer. They bartenders are all really cool and very knowledgable about the beer selection. Great place to just hang out with friends and relax. Never overly crowded. Very chill and never too loud. My kinda place. read more

This is my favorite bar in DFW. The right selection of beer, great liquor and an atmosphere that that is comfortable and casual. This place has zero pretension on being anything other than what it is, a friendly, neighborhood pub to have a pint and talk with friend and the wonderful staff. read more

Meet a coworker after work on a Friday. Nice weather made them open there overhead door making the patio and the bar one larger space. Good selection of beer on tap and in bottles. will definitely go back and enjoy some good times!!!! read more

Best lil hole in the wall in town!!! Our favorite in Fort Worth! DOG FRIENDLY! One of the first bars we found when we moved to Fort Worth and we've been going ever since!! read more

I have been a loyal customer for over ten years and I know people at this pub that predate me. Somehow this pub still manages to be welcoming to new customers while treating its regulars very well. Nick, the owner, is on site frequently and is great company. His bar tending staff is excellent. They are friendly and have a good knowledge of the product. This is the only place I have ever been this loyal to. This is also the only drinking establishment that I have ever made friends in that I actually did things with outside the bar/pub. I can't give this place any less than all 5 stars. read more

Great beer selection. Fuller's London Pride and ESB on tap. Lots of other great beers. Con: smoking. Still a great place. Will definitely go back. read more

What an awesome place! I live close so I normal stop in before heading home! The bar staff is awesome, they have great beer selections and the service is unbeatable! It is a great little "Hole in the Wall" read more

Smells bad, glasses are dirty and way too pricy for a neighborhood hang out. Way small and cluttered. We'll never go back

Walked in, was overwhelmed by how smoky it was inside and walked right out... Also, contrary to the name, no bull or bush... Disappointing... read more

This is a great place to go before the club. Good beer and music. Small cuddly place. Very smokey too. Just like in England.

I really enjoy the Bull and Bush. It is somewhat of an Arlington heights neighborhood hangout. The interior is fairly smoky, but they do have a great patio, dogs on leashes are allowed (we bring our 15 lb pooch since we walk from the house). Service wise, I've found it pretty good. Beer selection is adequate. read more

Ye Old Bull and Bush is the watering hole of the intellectual crowd of all ages and types. The regulars love diversity and open conversation. read more

Have been a native of Ft.Worth for over 50 years,been to just about every bar we have here.I like the B&B,everyone is nice.Except the bartender Alicia.She is indifferent and at times downright rude to customers.The last time I was in thereI noticed she was more interested in talking on her cellphone than waiting on customers read more
