Flying Saucer Draught Emporium — Fort Worth’s Downtown Craft Beer Cathedral Serving 80+ Rotating Taps, Pub Grub, and Good Times on East Third Street Since 1995
There are bars in Fort Worth, and then there is Flying Saucer Draught Emporium — the downtown institution on East Third Street that has been the undisputed headquarters for craft beer lovers in Cowtown for 30 years. Named Best Beer Selection in Fort Worth by Fort Worth Magazine, the Saucer brings an almost overwhelming selection of rotating taps to a sprawling, lively space that feels equally at home for a casual Tuesday pint or a full-blown Friday night out. With new arrivals hitting the taps multiple times a week from breweries across Texas and the country — think Live Oak, Rahr & Sons, Prairie, Turning Point, and dozens more — there is always something new to discover, no matter how many times you’ve been.
The food menu covers all the pub essentials alongside some standout comfort food — pretzels, flatbreads, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, and hearty plates that hold up well against a long night of great beer. Weekly events give regulars even more reason to show up — Trivia Tuesday nights run from 8–10pm, Sunday Brunch runs 11am–2pm, Monday features $5 drafts all day, and the beloved Sunday Texas Spotlight Drafts keep local pride flowing at $5 a pint all day. The UFO Club rewards loyal drinkers who work through the beer list — earning plates on the wall and climbing the Beerknurd leaderboard, turning what might be a casual hobby into a serious and deeply satisfying Fort Worth rite of passage.
Flying Saucer Fort Worth is located at 111 E Third St at Commerce, Fort Worth, TX 76102, and is open Sunday through Thursday 11am–11pm and Friday and Saturday 11am–2am, with happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 3–6pm. Private party bookings are available, online ordering for pickup and delivery is offered through Toast and DoorDash, and the patio is a prime people-watching spot in the heart of downtown. Whether you’re a craft beer devotee or simply looking for the best bar in Fort Worth to spend an evening, the Saucer never disappoints — find more great Fort Worth nightlife and dining in the Fort Worth restaurant guide on Selling the Fort.
