I have visited Dallas for work about 20 times over the past 15 years, and for some reason I have always had the urge to visit Fort Worth. This week, I had multiple hours to kill before a flight, so decided to swing over to the Flying Saucer. Located right in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, the first thing I noticed was the huge outdoor patio and stage on the side of the bar. I am sure this is a great spot on a warm day. The interior is typical Flying Saucer with a big bar, tables around the outside, and plates all around the wall. Like most Flying Saucer’s, the draft list was solid. The interior of this location seemed a lot more comfortable and pub like versus others I have visited. Nice spot.

Enjoyed the new location in downtown FW. Lots of seating and a giant outdoor area with a big screen. Good mixture of popular brews and locals.

NOW IN A NEW LOCATION! The address on this is incorrect, they have moved exactly one block north to the old 8.0 location. We couldn’t find it - as they are knocking down their current building to put a "shopping mall" facility on the block they used to be on. Stop #3 after WOB Arlington, and Gman FW. At both WOB And Gman, we decided we would never, ever go there if they were in our neighborhood. The Flying Saucer, particularly in its new location was quite different though. At their former spot on 4th Street it was always cramped - making it hard to find seating. The new location is quite spacious, with lots of seating choices both indoors and out. With the doors open to the outdoors, the fresh air that came indoors made it even more pleasant. And despite their busy atmosphere, the bartenders were pleased to interact with us and give their opinions of beers we hadn’t tasted before. I am pleased to see that the new location has improved an already great place!

I think I like this Flying Saucer because it’s in a re-purposed building and it doesn’t FEEL like a franchise Flying Saucer. They have live music (huge plus) and I like all the different rooms you can choose from to chill out and plant some roots. The service is typical, and the selection would be better if they weren’t always out of 1/2 the menu. I think of three beers I want before ordering.

I’ve only been to the Flying Saucer a couple of times, but I’m definitely going back again! Their beer selection is out of this world! Last time my hubby and I went we each tried a beer flight, and we shared a sausage and cheese plate which went very well with the beer.

October 2011. What is this building? An old firehouse? It’s a neat setting, much more quaint and historic than any other Saucer I’ve been to. The beer (and food) list on the other hand was pretty standard Saucer -- a couple solid regionals, iron clad imports and a handful of other US micros. Enjoyable setting in downtown.

Similar to the others but nicer smaller more intimate, good food and service when we went

Spent the afternoon at the FS with friends after a Rahr Brewery Tour. Greate atmosphere/ambiance and selection. We set out on the outside balcany (it was in Feb/March). They also provide a couple of mixed beers on 100 plus beer choice selection. Split a pizza so food/beer value was reasonable. Most people are there for the beer anyway but the pizza was decent. They have specials on the beer selection but I tried about 4 different beers. Overall a great time and place. P.S.....The Bluebonnet Homebrew Competition was going on and a group was having a pub craw. As a fellow homebrewer, I spoke to a couple of those guys as well. Fun bunch of people!

Great selection of bottles and quite a few on tap, this bar in downtown Fort Worth is a rare place to get great beer in North Texas. A few small televisions show sports, but it doesn’t feel like a sports bar. If you’re in the Fort Worth area, check it out.

It’s been a few years, but I do remember this spot. While I was driving across the country for work all the time, this was a heaven to stop into whenever I was on the Interstate that runs from Texas to Cali (the 10??). Large selection, not necessarily the most rare, but always a good brew in bottle or tap, which means, always worth stopping by if you’re in the hood!
