Every city in Texas should have a pub like Second Rodeo to showcase Texas hospitality. You order pub food from the counter and wait to be called via a lighted pager. After pick - up, you can sit indoors. and listen to a live music, sit by the huge fire place, or outside on lawn chairs to enjoy casual conversations with friends.

This is one of our favorite places to go to in the stockyards. They always have live music for the most part and everyone has been really good and we’ve enjoyed being there. I love that they have an indoor outdoor seating area. They have a very large outdoor seating area. We have tried several other drinks and haven’t found one that we don’t like. I would say, though that the frozen drinks are very sweet. They have good options available and everything always smells delicious but I have never personally had it before. They have a lidocaine drink and it is really fun to do and highly suggest it.

We were vacationing near the Stockyards and we really enjoyed Second Rodeo Brewing. Service was friendly. They have a large selection of drinks and their nachos are great. We also enjoyed the live music on the patio.

I rented out part of the restaurant for my husband private surprise 60th birthday party. It was absolutely fabulous. Staff were very generous with their time and helping us with everything from start to finish.

Not really my jam, but I could see how people would love this place. Live music, drinks and food, in a great location. Do locals really go here though?
Food was okay/good. Small portions, and if I had to categorize it, I would say it’s typical bar food but pretty good, for bar food. Beer was cold and yummy.

Really enjoyed this establishment. Had some tasty apps and listened to live C&W music. Loved the fun and quirky vibe here. Highly recommend a stop.

We were in the Stockyard area and saw Second Rodeo Brewing. I was in Forth Worth for a few days and didn't find any decent local breweries. We decided to give it a shot.

I love that it was huge. I ordered wings (Pineapple and Siricha). It was delicious. So I ordered more.

I did cop a few beers and it was okay. However, I did get the Tequila Old Fashioned and it changed my life. My group ordered some as well.

This is a great place. A great place to hang out with a group or take someone out on a date.

A must stop kind of bar. This place is HUGE. Inside, upstairs, the outside is enormous and there’s a balcony over looking it all. Frozen drinks come in a plastic cowboy boot you can take home, some cocktails are in little bottles you pour yourself. Live music. A kitchen you can walk up to and order snacks from. Tons and tons of bar tenders and no shortage of seating. The whole roof opens giving an inside outside vibe. They have a little shop and a fake jail for photos

Food was just ok but made up for with the best bartender ever, Sydney (not Cindy ;) ). She was the best and made some incredible drinks including the patron tequila old fashioned and the chocolate buffalo Trace... Along with a great selection of bourbons. Whatever they're paying her, it's not enough.

This is my go-to spot at the Stockyards for spending an afternoon relaxing with friends and listening to live country music. It's always crowded on good-weather weekends but I've always been able to find a seat.

Cool place with cold drinks and live music too. We just happened to be walking by and decided to check out the place. They have a full bar and offer some food. We didnt have food but did have some cold drinks while we listened to some live music. The coolest part was the outsideish area had a retractable roof. That was awesome.

It was a great environment just a lot of the early twenties crowd. I had heard it was more 30s & up so I’m not sure if we just went on the wrong night or what. So a lot of sloppy drunk kids and youngsters doing the nasty in the bathrooms. The guy singing was okay you just couldn’t understand him well. The drinks were really good and about average priced. It was hard to find seats even though we got there at 7. The nachos were average.
