Old School Texas — Restaurant in Fort Worth

Being a DJ in Dallas nightclubs for over 30 yrs it takes a lot to impress me. So when arriving at Old School (which is located in an old store front/shopping strip mall) I wasn’t even through the doors of this place and already I was planning my quick exit. However, I paid the $5 cover and walked around the corner into the club. At first I felt like I had stepped into another dimension or was having an acid induced hallucination inside a dream. I walked around and found my new friends that had invited us to meet them there. We got some drinks and watched an array of characters from all walks of life take full advantage of the spacious dance floor. The crowd was like Bad Bunny meets lesbian couple meets Mexican Mafia meets stripper chick meets country girl meets good ol boy. Everyone was having a great time. The decor was nothing fancy either but it’s clear that being or looking cool is not important. Only having fun IS! So my hat is off to this place for getting back to the basics of what a good night club has always been...a place to meet people, drink and have a good time. Old School Ft Worth offers exactly...

August 3rd was my first time going to this bar. There are two sides: one has Tejano music, and the other side is supposed to be hip-hop. I was on the hip-hop side. The DJ absolutely sucked! He talked way too much and kept saying the same stuff over and over! "Where my independent ladies at? Where my Cowboys fans at? Where my Ranger fans at? Shout-out to the birthday boy. Where my alcoholics at? Where my 80s babies at? Where my 90s babies at? Make some noise if you don't have to work tomorrow...." It was horrible. He turned the music off to let the commentary for the Crawford fight to be heard. I told the person who invited me to let me know when a different DJ is there because that dude killed any vibe I had to have fun dancing. I want to give it another chance. I suggested a song by showing it on my phone to him. He played Tejano...

The staff is great, but the prices for the bland tasting food is way too steep. A regular pork brisket sandwich is $9.00 before taxes, the drinks are a little too high as well for my liking, when the bartenders put more ice or mixers in the beverages versus the alcohol. I paid $23.00 that is before taxes for three drinks (2 Jager bombs, and a Budweiser bottle) Total: $24.90. However there is more at Old School Texas, it consists of:

Pool tables (5), Claw Machines, Basketball Arcade, Champion Boxing (punching bag game), as well as two dance floors, a DJ booth, two different bars. Ample supply of stalls in the ladies bathroom, however the paper towels run out really quick.

However, with all of these comments, I would visit them and spend my hard-earned money at this nightclub...
