Ático Fort Worth — Chef Tim Love’s Rooftop Spanish Tapas Bar Above the Historic Stockyards
Few dining experiences in Fort Worth can compete with the view from Ático. Perched on the 6th floor of the SpringHill Suites Stockyards, this rooftop Spanish tapas bar and restaurant from world-renowned Chef Tim Love offers sweeping views of the Fort Worth Stockyards and the downtown skyline — the kind of backdrop that turns a great meal into an unforgettable evening. Stylish, intimate, and quite luxurious both inside and out, the rooftop terrace invites you to settle into a comfy lounger or pull up a seat at the long bar by the open kitchen, where the vibrant, sophisticated atmosphere and attentive service set the tone from the moment you arrive. Think Barcelona meets Cowtown at its most glamorous.
The menu is a carefully curated journey through Spanish cuisine, featuring tapas-style dishes like salami flatbread, Ibérico ham, grilled fish, and lime-garlic Spanish pork tenderloin, all designed to be shared and savored slowly with a cocktail in hand. The charcuterie board is widely regarded as a must-order, and the cockles and chorizo draw consistent raves from guests who’ve dined their way through the entire menu. The cocktail program is equally impressive, with creative house drinks like the Rooftop Old Fashioned made with Old Forester and spiced cherry bitters, and the Tejas Strawberry Dream crafted with TX Whiskey, lemon, and strawberry — a love letter to Texas in a glass. Live music nights add another layer of magic, combining the finest Spanish cuisine with an eclectic mix of local artists performing under the open sky.
Ático’s kitchen is open Monday through Thursday from 4:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to midnight, and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. — making it a natural anchor for a Stockyards date night or a leisurely weekend brunch with a view. Ático has been recognized as one of the best patios in Fort Worth and one of the top dining destinations in the city for its innovative tapas and exceptional service. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. Whether you’re a Fort Worth local treating yourself or a visitor looking for the most memorable meal in Cowtown, Ático delivers on every level.
