Best picks in Downtown Fort Worth?
Downtown is mostly yuppie chains....head to Haltom City for Asian. I recommend Thai Belknap. Good food, sweet service, and BYOB. http://thaibelknap.com/
I second the Magnolia Ave recommendation. It's the closest you can get to Austin without leaving Tarrant County.
Old fashioned bar?
Looking for a neighborhood bar in the Hurst/NRH area. No sports bars, chains, wine bars, or karokai joints. Just an old fashioned, dimly lit, "bar" bar (hopefully full of characters and smoke.)
