In a recent trip to Dallas/Ft Worth, we decided to stay in Ft. Worth instead of the more cosmopolitan Dallas counterpart. Ft. Worth is more western than Dallas. It is not uncommon to see men with their black cowboy hats…yes, I understand it has to be black.
We stayed at the Sheraton Ft. Worth Hotel and Spa on Commerce street. I’m a fan of Starwood hotels, and this Sheraton did not disappoint us. The hotel does have a spa (I didn’t use their services), and indoor pool and jacuzzi. Location is great…walking distance to downtown Houston St. where you’ll find most of the bars and restaurants. Shula’s 347 restaurant is located inside the hotel.
If you’re looking for good barbeque, our local bartender recommended Ricksy’s. We decided to Billy Miners on 3rd St. which is famous for it’s fried catfish. I opted for their 8 oz burger instead.
As for the nightlife, also walking distance from the hotel is Houston st. We stopped at several bars, but spent most of our time at the Library where the beers were very reasonable and the atmosphere was festive. We stumbled into a Santa Pub Crawl that night at the bar.
