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.

CRÚ Fort Worth at Clearfork is open Monday through Thursday 3–10pm, Friday 3–11pm, Saturday noon–11pm, and Sunday 11:30am–10:30pm. Brunch and lunch service runs Wednesday through Sunday from 11:30am to 3pm, making it an unexpectedly lovely spot for a relaxed midday meal paired with something sparkling. Private events, wine dinners, and corporate gatherings can be accommodated with advance reservation, and the warm, sophisticated setting makes it one of the most reliably elegant date night destinations in Southwest Fort Worth. Reservations are recommended and available through OpenTable.

I honestly thought I was being punk’d when they brought out the lettuce wraps. Each one had only three tiny pieces of chicken. That said, the flavor was solid. The goat cheese beignets were delicious, and I really enjoyed their wine flights. Just a heads-up that happy hour is only available if you sit at the bar or outside.

This was a delightful stop after doing a bit of walking! All of us got a different flight to taste test. Out of the whites we got, the Mason had a great balance of flavor. Perfect for sipping on the porch. There was a red that we really liked, but I'm forgetting the name! This is such a classy spot. I would definitely come here again!

Vanessa was our waitress and she was funny, kind, attentive, and made the night memorable for us. It was our first time here and she did a wonderful job explaining the menu to us & catering to us.
For starters, we had the cheese flight. I recommend the Nancy Camembert cheese - It was amazing. All the cheese tastes exactly as described on the menu. It was more filling than it looks & it came with bread.
We loved the wine flights we ordered. He got red, I got white, and we mixed and matched. The wines come with cards describing each wine you order when you order the flights.
The scenery here was great with a very nice patio as well, which is where most people were.
The staff, food, and wine is amazing here & we will definitely be coming back!

There was no air conditioning. The doors were left open but it was uncomfortably humid. We checked the online menu but a wine I chose and an entree listed on that menu were not available per our server.
It was very expensive since a small addition of honey requested to supplement the 1/2 teaspoon of honey included with my $24 charcuterie board was $3.50!!!!!!! They told us we could not get a “to go” box since customers were using them to steal wine. Of course, pizza was taken home in a box, just nothing else. Crazy!
