CRÚ Food & Wine Bar — Fort Worth’s Premier Wine Destination at The Shops at Clearfork
With over 25 years of elevated wine and dining, CRÚ Food & Wine Bar has built a well-earned reputation as one of the most acclaimed wine bar experiences in Texas — and the Fort Worth location at The Shops at Clearfork brings that legacy to one of the city’s most vibrant upscale dining destinations. Conceived as an exciting urban destination to experience and explore the fascinating world of wine, CRÚ offers over 300 wine selections and 40 premium wines by the glass, as well as taster pairings and wine flights that make navigating its cellar-deep list genuinely approachable and fun. You’ll find no little pinkies extended, no noses in the air — CRÚ prefers you gently bring them to the edge of the glass and allow the aroma to prepare you for a new, fun experience in the enjoyment of wine, and that down-to-earth philosophy is exactly what makes this wine bar feel like a neighborhood gem despite its impressive credentials. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or someone who simply knows they like red wine with dinner, CRÚ meets you exactly where you are.
Alongside its award-winning wine list, CRÚ offers an extensive brunch and lunch menu, a large selection of artisan cheeses, and stone oven-fired pizzas — with talented chefs preparing each dish using fresh and seasonal ingredients that pair perfectly with the wine selection. The Pear and Gorgonzola pizza earns consistent raves from regulars, and the customizable cheese and charcuterie boards — built from an impressive selection of artisan cheeses and accompaniments — are the quintessential CRÚ starter. Recurring events at the Clearfork location include Pizza Monday and Champagne Thursday, giving regulars an easy reason to build the week’s social calendar around a visit. Wine flights with great variety are a signature feature, and the knowledgeable staff can guide first-timers and experienced drinkers alike through a list that spans Old World and New World producers across every major region.
