We had such a good time at the Bearded Lady! My boyfriend and I were in Fort Worth for an anime convention, this place was within walking distance of the convention center so we decided to check it out!
The beer selection was amazing, and the bartenders said it changes frequently, so you’re sure to find something you like. The food was so good, definitely try the feisty Mac and cheese!
We had such a good time on Friday that we went back for a few more beers Saturday night as well! Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place! I went on a Wednesday early lunch time. The bartender was the best and so was the beer selection. The food is great too! The fried pickle chips were our favorite. Their burgers and sandwiches are amazing too. Their Wednesday special was a $5 smash burger, so good. My only critique would be the crème brûlée; it was not good. We will definitely be back!

My friend and I walked in the restaurant’s door (after walking past the outdoor seating area with a gravel floor, a stage for live entertainment, picnic tables, a couple of high top tables, plastic and wooden Adirondack chairs, all covered with stringed bulb lighting), and found ourselves a nice booth, and we sit. We find ourselves in a high ceilinged industrial space that looks thrift store chic. There are butcher block tables surrounded by mismatched chairs, live plants everywhere (the Christmas cactuses near us could’ve used a little sip of water), liquor basket, lighting, hanging from the ceiling, cactuses painted on the walls, along with some other, very interesting artwork, and a beautiful bar with 25 draft pull handles, a beer lovers dream. Josh! I knew he was going to be great when he arrived at the table carrying two huge glasses of ice water. It was around noon, Texas afternoon and a water was just what we needed at that moment, beer would’ve been better, but we hadn’t gotten that far yet. We chatted with Josh about beer, we both started out with a Lager that had a beautiful coconut finish, that last flavor that comes through a few seconds after you swallow your beer. The menu was plentiful and fairly priced, we ended up with roasted brussels sprouts, and a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich with avocado with a side of tater tots and queso. Joshua was great throughout our visit, keeping track of us, always there when we needed him, but not hovering, making sure that second beer came right away.

I thought I had way more pictures, but the two will lower the only ones I could find on my phone. I guess the rest are filed away in my memory.

If you’re looking for a chill, laid-back place, to stop in for lunch, or dinner I imagine, give this place a shot. It’s definitely worth the time, the money, and I’m sure the staff will make you feel right at home. Oh yeah, if the company you come with is a little boring they’re a bunch of games that they have that you can grab and play. Have fun!

This past Sunday 8/24 we visited the bearded lady for the first time. We were in the area and decided to try it out.
Ok so I had the Big dill and my boyfriend had the chicken Philly. The Big dill was different, I didn’t like the cheese sauce so much but it was do-able. The fries were great and the ranch was good.
The chicken Philly had a bit of spice to it. But my boyfriend says it was good.
We also had drinks. We had a lemon drop martini each. They were made well, just didn’t seems like it had much liquor. The only thing we had a bit of an issue with was that they charged us for “lemon” which we assumed it was the flavoring for the martini. So the ticket looked like:
$24 martini
$4 lemon drop
We were like ooooh ok, never seen that before. We did ask for it to be reviewed, they took it off. Just pay attention to what you are being charged for.
Everything about the place was cute & ok with me. Our waiter was good.

Scam alert! Went there for mother's Day, and they included gratuity on my check for the table (because of 9 people?) and then the server didn't tell me, and asked for gratuity AGAIN! On top of it already being added. Would never recommend or go there again. Plus the food was meh. Asked for 2 extra eggs and they charged TEN DOLLARS! These were not golden eggs.

We came in for brunch, sat inside. There’s a huge outdoor seating area too with shade. Our server was also the bar tender and he let us know he might get slammed with drinks ahead of time which was nice to have the heads up. Our food came out totally staggered, half our people were done eating and a few still hadn’t gotten their food, we all ordered at the same time. Our app came out last after everyone finished eating. The bartender was indeed slammed so we had to flag down other waiters for sauce/ silverware. Food was decent, they have a handful of vegetarian options that are clearly labeled. Our bartender looked like he had been out all night and hadn’t gone home yet, you could see how dirty his clothes were, he just looked like he could use a shower so when he’s handing us drinks and stuff it was kind of off putting. Not trying to be disrespectful to him it was just like…. alarming how dirty he looked and he’s touching our food and drinks. Not our favorite spot in town, but could be fun under the right circumstances

Fastest delivery of food! The cooks did an awesome job preparing my veggie patty. Quickness of Service and good food. I give this place 5 Stars.

And the craft beer was delicious!

This was such a great spot!! Love the open outdoor seating and live bands. We got to enjoy the beautiful Texas evening weather. Fun selection of drinks. The food options were so good that we all shared our orders so we could all try a few things! Our service was ok, our server seemed to not be overly interested in interacting with us. Barely made eye contact and got us our check as soon as we were ready… super fast. Would go back!

LOVED the fried pickles!! I had a Pineapple Margarita and was pleasantly surprised how good it was! I also ordered the BBB sandwich with fries.... Sooooo yummy! This was my first experience here and I wanted to make sure I ordered something different than just a burger. I'd definitely go back! The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was pleasant. The music was good and not loud. I didn't have to raise my voice to talk with others at my table. Loved that they had pillows for the booths.
