Second Rodeo Brewing — Restaurant in Fort Worth

It saddens me to write this type of review in 2024. My experience tonight at Second Rodeo is one that I have never experienced before. Violated, humiliated, and embarrassed are words that would describe my feelings towards the treatment that I received tonight.

After 9pm the bar is 21+ until close, there is a doorman that sits at the door and checks ID’s. I (who is 21) walks up to the doorman, hands him my ID and enter with no problem. My friends and I go to the bar and get our first round of drinks with no problem. We find a spot to sit a begin conversations and enjoying our drinks. We finish our first round and my friends excuse themselves to use the restroom while I save our table. They come back from the restroom with drinks in hand, so I decide to get a second round. Once at the bar, the bartender ask for my ID. I was confused since I already showed my ID to get in why it was necessary to show at the bar. Nonetheless I show the bartender my ID and he holds it under a black light. That did not satisfy him so he takes my ID to another bartender where they doubt if my ID is real or not. The bartender then hands my ID to his “manager” and walks back to me and tells me that “he is going to take care of me” as he points towards the manager. The manager tells me to “follow him towards the door” because they assume my ID is fake. I tell the manager that my ID is real and answer a series of questions that the manager berates me with. Since that was still not satisfactory enough, he tells me to “come with him so that the doorman can check my ID.” We get to the front and the same man that checked my ID earlier checked it again and said, “this is 100% real. “ The doorman gives me back my ID and the manager follows me and says “thanks for being understanding.” I finally get my second round and give the bartender and manger a few choice words that would not be said on television.

Overall if you are a person of color I honestly would not go there. I felt as if there was a personal vendetta against ms as soon as I walked in. The bartender and manager who I dealt with definitely have some bias towards...

We had a company event of about 60 people that was held here and it was great turnout. Ryan, the on-site manager was helpful and receptive. Natalie handles in coordinating the group events, and was detailed in her notes for the team to understand what we were needing. She is quick to respond via e-mail or text.

Beautiful venue that allows plenty of space for people to meander. Loved that it has an outdoor feel in the interior spacing. Our group was placed by the Jail Cell, and that was a bit more off to the side to offer privacy from the central public area.

Catered food was hot, fresh, and set on time for when our event started and people came trickling in.

Food options:

Chicken nachos were great because it's all separated by: chips, melted cheese, and shredded chicken. You can have this offered as a vegetarian option since the shredded chicken is placed in a separate heated unit.

Garlic parmesan & Buffalo wings - great size, were well received by our guests. Flavorful, straight protein and not loaded up o n batter/filler.

Philly cheesesteak sliders - we asked for these to be cut into halves, and even that was a generous serving portion as a nibbler. Flavorful and not dry in protein. These came with sauces in small containers on the side that were easy to grab for the guests.

Overall - their team did a spectacular job and it was organized in execution, and overall friendly in service - great hospitality. We'd come again in the future....

My family and I recently visited Second Rodeo for a night out and to introduce some friends to the place for the first time — including a retired military veteran. The service was great, and the environment was warm and welcoming. We were enjoying our drinks and the atmosphere and initially had nothing but good things to say about the experience.

However, it quickly changed due to the behavior of a group seated behind us. They loudly made a comment — “Cheers to our governor!” — not in support, but in a mocking and aggressive tone. Moments later, they escalated the situation by throwing ice at our table.

I want to be clear: Governor Greg Abbott is our governor too, and we support what he stands for. This wasn’t about politics it was about the way the comment was delivered and the disrespectful, targeted behavior that followed. It felt hostile and unnecessary, especially considering we were simply trying to enjoy a peaceful evening.

It’s disappointing to see fellow Texans treat others this way especially someone who has served this country with honor. While the restaurant itself did nothing wrong, and the staff were excellent, it’s disheartening that this behavior was allowed to unfold.

I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit of improvement. The establishment has a lot to offer, and I’d be open to returning hopefully under better...
