A Great Notion — Restaurant in Fort Worth

"A Great Nation is still a misconception" as the sign out front states "Restaurant and Pub" although they are no where near being a restaurant. My first visit to the "A Great Nation was not a favorable one, after my review the owner reached out and asked that I return and give them a second look. So out of fairness I gave them a second look, there's a reason they say "You never get a second chance to make a first good impression" I again arrived unannounced of my visit, upon entering no one at the bar greeted me. i sat at the bar and ordered a drink and attempted to take in the atmosphere, the karaoke was to say the least goes to prove the point that no matter how much alcohol you consume does not a good singer you become, nor makes it any easier to listen to. They do have several dartboards but that in itself does not classify it as a "pub" the pool table isn't really big enough to be called a pool table as I have seen bumper pool tables that are twice the size of this one. With that being said let's move into the bar staff they are not attentive to the bar patrons upon finishing my drink the blonde woman walked past numerous times without checking to see if I needed anything, rather she was too busy hanging out at the end of the bar carrying on a conversation with a couple of ladies seated at the bar. After a good fifteen minutes did the male bartender stop and asked if I needed another drink. So as their website states "Fast service" it falls way below that mark. It is this reviewers opinion that this bar is a far cry from being a "Pub" or a "Restaurant" as advertised. It will do to facilitate the locals that live nearby but that is being gracious to say the least. On a scale of 1-10 I would reluctantly give it a 1. If your looking for a less than mediocre bar to just get a drink then this would be it. But that would be all, you would be better off finding someplace that values you as a customer rather that just a...

The city of Fort Worth recently passed the ban on all cigarette smoking in all places. Actually, they may still allow it and gentleman strip clubs, which I suppose means that anyone who wants to smoke a cigarette, sip on a drink,and sit indoors is going to wind up going to sleazy strip clubs. Way To Go Fort Worth! Anyway, this place is only alive because you can smoke inside. The whole place is dark, grimy, dirty, and falling apart. The tables are wobbly, the chairs in stools are ripped, there's a couple of pool tables, and attempted a jukebox, and all the usual sleazy stuff. The thing that is said to me, is that you can see where this place once had great charm. But like an aging Starlet fading from her prime, this place is not going to last much longer when the smoking ban goes...

Can’t even express how disappointing this place is. It filled my heart with sadness. The Gentleman who does karaoke is the best one there by far. I was kicked out tonight when I asked for a drink. A bartender named ED asked me to leave if I was going to harass anyone. He didn’t like the fact that I offered to call the law enforcement because he can’t do his job. Since when is coughing in your shirt harassment, and looking at someone vaping in the bar and nothing being said to the one trying to kill others. If one wants to smoke; that’s your business; but don’t try to kill me too. I have had a very bad cough ever since and my asthma has started acting up. I have been in this bar several times as I do my laundry there. My life has been threatened more than once; and I do not carry...
