Intimate live music venue in downtown Fort Worth with a spacious outdoor patio that includes a second bar. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Art covering the walls gives the atmosphere a great vibe.

Had a blast. Saw Quaker City Night Hawks. The outside bar was great. Vibes were great! Staff opening doors was a nice touch. And I appreciate the medal detectors. People are unpredictable these days. Great time!

This venue is conveniently located next to Low Doubt Bar, as well as the food truck Flama Blanca, making it a perfect spot for many different types of events. It’s in an up-and-coming neighborhood, and the patio—with the bar and food truck—feels thoughtfully placed and well planned.
I went here for K-pop night and was super pleased with the DJ’s set and the dance crew that performed. I would highly recommend highlighting the food truck and the outdoor patio—it was a great place to take a break between sets and in between dancing. We were all having an amazing time.

It was so much fun, and I really hope they host many more nights like this. Shooting my shot at the @DJ, you were cute, where do you usually play? You were also amazing!

Potentially a great music venue. Small area for viewing the show makes for an incredibly intimate experience, which is awesome. Sound and lighting are great also. Tickets were easy to purchase and show for entry.
Here are the downfalls: security is tight which is good. I am all for safety and metal detectors. But the doorman was just rude and off putting from the start. Again, having security protocols is great. But you should still maintain customer service. Another issue is the automatic tip. 20% gratuity is added to all tabs. I tip generously. Especially for good service. The automatic tip leaves an opening for subpar service. One bartender was not particularly friendly while another was. Given that there was automatic gratuity there is no real reason to offer excellent service. I did update this review to add about the issue with water.. I’m sure if I would have haggled enough the bartender would have poured me a water. But I got the vibe that a free cup of water was not an acceptable request. Odd, especially after a secure, ticketed entry. There are some good things and some not good things. Will go back if they have a favorite artist of mine.

This could be a great concert spot. My only complaints are that no one waited tables, there was only one bartender, and they were out of stock on some of the basics like cabernet. Since seating was first come, first serve & the only food was on a truck outside, we had to take turns holding the table & standing in the food line & the bar line. For paid ticketed venues, you tend to expect a reserved seat or table service. But the show was great & the bartender was nice.

Such a fabulous music venue! I love live music. This was our first time at this venue. Everyone was very friendly and the bar moved things along quickly. I'd definitely see a show here again!

My group and I needed ADA accommodation and the staff went above & beyond to make us feel included and comfortable. The sound was great, the drinks were reasonably priced, and the restrooms were easily accessible. Needless to say we had a blast. We hope to be back soon.

Went here on Saturday night March 22.

Since all the indie venues in Dallas have fallen prey to corporate ventures, this is a refreshing example of a place to go see good music in a smaller space that doesn't put you through the hoops of the aftermarket ticket monopoly.

I found the employees from the door to sound to bar to all be super friendly. I didn't buy any drinks, so I didn't have to concern myself with the autograt, though the prices I saw were not in my opinion all that high for a venue. I thought they were reasonable even with the gratuity.

There's a spacious patio out back with plenty of seating and a separate bar out there where I bought an Americano. I don't think that one does the autograt, at least they didn't with my coffee.

The food was from a little trailer setup selling various forms of grilled cheese sandwiches, though I wasn't hungry at all so can't really comment on that.

The green room is appropriately skanky, but it offers laundry and a shower, which is super valuable to artists who've been on the road for weeks on end, and it was well stocked with food and drink -- a welcome relief from days and days of living on gas station burritos.

I found parking really easy, but I was there pretty early, so I have no idea what it's like later in the evening.

All in all, I hope to see this venue booking more bands that I like because all those places that used to be in Deep Ellum aren't anymore.

I'd love a regular venue that isn't the surgical theater sterile atmosphere of that thing in Irving with it's grossly inflated ticketmaster prices, its hostile employees, its thirty dollar drinks, and its line of aggressive taxis trying to physically cut you off from your uber while police yell at you that they're going to arrest you if you step one toe over their little pylons.

Thanks for a great night out Tulips!

from someone who goes to a lot of venues of various sizes in a lot of different places - this is a special place. the size is perfect to feel intimate but not too small and overcrowded even when a show is sold out, each show I’ve seen here has had great sound (shout out to not only the venue but the sound people who have been working anytime I’ve been there on that) but most importantly there’s just a really awesome friendly and familiar vibe as if it’s some venue you’ve been a regular for years even if it’s your first time and just you feel at home which I think is mostly from the overall the people working each time I’ve been there from the person checking IDs, door person, bartenders at either bar, sound person to management themselves. you can tell that the people here really love and care about music and live music… that’s a rarity these days even when a new venue pops up with the best intentions - it’s really hard and near impossible to find a whole team of people who also are the same type of passionate as the person(s) envisioning their new independent venue they begin out of the same love and passion those at tulips have let alone cultivate really what feels less like a team but more like family/friends AND also are able to get the job done as necessary to make sure things are simply functional. Tulips not only does all this but is more than functional and a truly special place I couldn’t be happier to know exists in dfw and that the hard work you literally can feel (literally they built a lot of the venue I know themselves… literal DIY) and passion put into it that’s reciprocated in the amazing not just a place but really a mini “scene” in a way of always great people at the shows in the crowds (at least the shows I’ve been at… sure maybe 1-2 MAYBE tiny little usual “you walked in front of me wtf” things if it’s a sold out show but everytime ive seen even that it’s not even seconds before its no longer even a thought to the people involved or next to them and more often than not end up watching those involved talk and end up friendly chatting away after the show as cheesy as it sounds but I’ve watched it lol) but seriously the everything there just really is special and a rarity to find these days could not suggest seeing a show here more if you ever even are just nearby with nothing else to do or see an artist you like playing - it’s worth a drive and at the very least just visit. I didn’t even get to the rad outdoor patio back bar and taco stand on top of all that either? seriously don’t overthink it and go out of your way if your a music fan and check a show out there because it’s worth it and there’s barely any places like this I can think of so take advantage of that chance you have to experience it (also it’s helping keep it there so double win lol) because as we all know… the world is an uncertain place and wouldn’t want to regret if you never even checked it out when you could have… although this is an independent venue that I think and really hope will be around for a long time. As someone who sees shows all over weekly if not a few times a week… from the attendee side of things and music fan (can’t speak as someone who’s performed or worked there but just my experience) - if you love or even just like live music or just enjoy places with a chill yet perfect amount of energy to not be too much but exactly whatever you’re feeling mix type of vibe… check out tulips. If I spent this much time typing this - it says something haha seriously.

My only complaint is I wish there were more shows there while I was in town so I had a reason to go there 😂
