Since 2008, Lola's Saloon has been one of the top venues in North Texas, arguably the best in Fort Worth. Each week, local and national acts shuffle through the bar, which, perhaps thanks to the name, has a looser, more comfortable feel than its counterparts in Dallas. The décor behind the bar is a mix of thrift-store artifacts and vintage metal signs. The capacity tops out at around 300 and the stage sits only a few feet off the ground, so each show has an intimate feel, especially when acts like Dr. Dog and Fleet Foxes drop in for a show.
I know what you're thinking. I'm not too terribly keen on cover bands either, but Big Mike's Box of Rock delivers. The group recently started a new...
If you're looking to get into the creepier side of DFW Saturday, Lola's is the place to lurk. Three local acts with an affinity for dark corners converge: Fort Worth's Pinkish Black and Dallas' Nervous Curtains should probably just do a split... More »
With the release of their second album since moving to Austin, the self-assured Arrow, Erika Wennerstrom's Heartless Bastards should be able to forever laugh off the asinine thought of them being musical carpetbaggers. After the triumph that was... More »

Tiny venue compared to most. When the band or artist takes the stage they remove all chairs even from the bar, so beware of that. This is as hip as it gets in fort worth, dark beautiful wood inside with the friendliest staff ever! They even have washers out back so you can play in the sand while waiting for the band. Seen a couple of local acts here and just can't recall a better time. If you go early you may doubt me, but as it gets later the place really fills up!
One of my favorite places to see a band when I'm in Fort Worth
Everyone serves tapas these days. Boring. Lola takes the small-plates idea a step further, designating an entire room as a chef's tasting room. They even hired a second chef, David Uygur, to handle the space. Diners choose between a five-course, 10-course or 15-course meal. Not to worry: Each plate contains about two bites' worth. Granted, everything from the description to the presentation to the unexpected flavors of the food itself is par excellence. (Means either "brilliant" or "don't... More »
