Bought tickets 3 months in advance for Zakk Sabbath. for 12-10-25

The restaurant staff and food were great. And even the sound of the show was top knotch

However. Handicap accommodations were bullshit. Basically put all the handicapped people at the back of the venue and sat me on a solid metal high top bar chair behind a barricade that still had 6 ft people blocking almost every view of enjoyment.

And they were also pushing the barricade even further back to where we were having to block it from hitting our knees. I have cerybral palsy in my legs and have to use crutches daily to hold me up.

The last thing I need are a bunch of drunk idiots pushing back on something that's supposed to be protecting me and 5 other disabled folks around me. We shouldn't have to fight for a decent view when we paid good hard earned money to enjoy a show that we couldn't even see.

$300 plus fees for GA and couldn't even get reliable handicapped comfortable seating.

We most definitely won't be back until you all step your customer service practice up.

We recently attended a concert at this venue and we were thoroughly impressed! I honestly didn’t know what to expect when eating at The Tavern but I got brisket with a side salad and it was phenomenal! I’m very picky about BBQ also so this is saying a lot. We sat in the mezzanine for the show and we were treated like VIPs with access to table service and upstairs bar and restrooms. We had a great view and it sounded great from our seats. After the show, we walked around the Stockyards a t but but needed up back at Tannahill’s bar/lounge for a couple of night caps and it was a more laid back atmosphere than some of the surrounding bars. I would definitely go back.

It's located in the Fort Worth Stockyards next to the restaurant. It's an open floor with a bar on each side, has an upstairs on both sides also. Sound is good, needs a little bit more air, ( fan or two up top) would help especially on sold out shows. Drinks are fairly priced and strong enough.

Tannahill’s Tavern is such a great spot in the Stockyards - part restaurant, part live music venue, and all-around Texas charm. The space is modern but still fits perfectly into the historic feel of the area.
The food is classic Texas comfort with a little twist - hearty portions, flavorful, and made to share. The drinks menu is strong too, from craft cocktails to plenty of beer options. Service is friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
What really sets Tannahill’s apart is the live music. The sound system is fantastic, and the venue manages to feel both intimate and energetic. It’s a perfect place to catch a show after dinner and make a night of it.
Whether you’re here for the food, the music, or both, Tannahill’s delivers a true Fort Worth experience. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the Stockyards.

Wow what a great place! A true Texas cowboy feel! Live music at the bar/restaurant was really fantastic. The lady who was singing was really good. Food was delicious and not overpriced. Drinks were yummy! True Texas experience. ❤️ I highly recommend this venue for dinner & drinks. And they were kid friendly. We even saw baby cowboy there! 🤠

Tannahill’s in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards has become a strong player in the live music scene. National and regional acts regularly perform for the crowd.

A full bar and menu offering can make Tannahill’s a one stop evening or grab a drink and hear the band before moving through the other historic venues of North Side.

Mostly general admission and standing room only…the lack of reserved seating may be an issue for some. We managed to get to the venue early and get the front row. We stood the whole time but were glad that we came.

Came in to get dinner with the family after an absolute travel nightmare and a missed wedding. Our waiter, Trayvon, was the absolute best. He was both knowledgeable and passionate about the food and drink, made great recommendations, and even took the time to discuss different off menu drink options. He helped to redeem the horrible week we were having through his excellent service. The food and drink them selves were excellent, and a shout out to the bartender who's name I didn't get for being brave enough to make a cocktail with gin and espresso just because I was curious.

Loved this venue. Ample seating, clean bar and restrooms. So clean the artist felt comfortable enough to not wear shoes.. hope to be back for other live performances.

Great Spot for Live Music & Good Vibes

Tannahill's Music Hall and Tavern is such a cool venue! The standing-room setup gives it a great energy, and the vibe is laid-back but lively — perfect for catching a show. While the artists here may not be as big as the ones at Billy Bob's, the performances are still top-notch and a ton of fun. The drinks are reasonably priced, which is always a plus, and the restaurant is a solid spot to grab a bite before the show. There's also a spacious bar area just outside the venue that's great for hanging out and grabbing a drink while you wait. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Stockyards and want a fun night out with good music.

I am in love with this place. We sat in the balcony to see J.J.Grey and Mofro. I love love love it. The drinks were reasonable, the staff was accommodating. We will return. And the seats were only $50 each. They had an elevator for us old people! They realized that

As a local, this is one of our favorite venues for music. We have been several times, and Charlotte and Patty are top-notch. Reasonable prices on drink and tickets with a wide variety of music. I have seen 90's Hip Hop to acoustic Jason Boland shows and lots of tribute bands. Check it out when visiting the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Really cute venue. Standing room only, so you're very close to the performers. Acoustics are great, and staff is helpful and personable. Would love to see more of our favorite bands here.

Shout-out to all the parents chaperoning their teens! So cool to pass down the love for live shows while ensuring that everyone, including other patrons, has a good time. Most of our parents weren't involved or much fun, so I'm really proud to see us change that dynamic for our kids. You guys rock!
