I'll chime in with Tambu and Tune-in Lounge, but I'm surprised that there's no love here for Crocket's Tavern at FW. We make sure to get to FW at least an hour early so we can have a drink or two before we go to the Hoop. It's very..uh, rustic, to say the least. Some of the bartenders are fantastic, and they're all a little less formal and "Disney" than most other places, which fits in to the theme of FW as a whole, I think. And it's usually less crowded than the other places mentioned, so you really feel like you could hang out and be a "regular" there.
