City Works Eatery & Pour House — The Ultimate Sports Bar Meets Delightful Restaurant at Clearfork
Where most sports bars settle for mediocre food and a wall of TVs, City Works Eatery & Pour House raises the bar — literally and figuratively. Located at 5288 Monahans Ave in The Shops at Clearfork, City Works brings 9,000 square feet of indoor dining space, 12 extra-large HDTVs with state-of-the-art audio, 90 beers and 8 wines on tap, and a dog-friendly outdoor patio with four large HDTVs — all wrapped up in a genuinely great restaurant experience that goes far beyond what “sports bar food” typically means. The tap lineup highlights 30-plus local breweries, rotating seasonally and spotlighting Fort Worth favorites like Panther Island Brewing alongside craft picks from across Texas and beyond. Whether you’re catching the game, celebrating a birthday, or just looking for a reliable spot with great food and cold beer, City Works consistently delivers — and the Clearfork location has quickly become one of Southwest Fort Worth’s most dependable go-to spots.
The menu features classic American food with brilliant modern twists, made largely from scratch, and it’s the kind of menu that makes the “sports bar” label feel woefully inadequate. Signature starters like the Volcano Tots — togarashi-spiced tater tots topped with volcano crab, sriracha, and a soy glaze — and the Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks stuffed with crab, shrimp, and cream cheese set the tone early. Mains span house-smoked BBQ ribs, a bleu-cheese-crusted NY Strip, grilled lemon salmon, Cajun linguine with blackened chicken and andouille sausage, and the wildly popular Southern Mac ‘n’ Cheese loaded with BBQ brisket, jalapeños, and pimento cheese sauce. The burger lineup is equally impressive — eight USDA Prime beef options including the Smokehouse (pulled pork, smoked provolone, BBQ bacon onion relish) and the Black & Bleu (bacon onion jam, bleu cheese, pickled red onions). Weekend brunch adds a whole separate dimension, with dishes like Brisket, Biscuits & Gravy, the Hangover Bowl (smoked cheddar grits, braised pork belly, sausage, and eggs), and Chicken & Waffles with hot honey maple syrup.
City Works Fort Worth is open Monday through Thursday 11am–10pm, Friday 11am–11pm, Saturday 10am–11pm, and Sunday 10am–10pm, with weekend brunch running from 10am to 3pm. Happy hour features bar bites for just $6, and the restaurant is well-equipped for groups — handling semi-private parties up to 100 guests and private events for up to 12 in a glassed-in dining room, with full restaurant buyouts for up to 300. The Chow Down for Charity program donates 20% of event sales back to local organizations, making it a great choice for community fundraisers as well. Plenty of free parking in the Clearfork complex.
