Fred's Texas Cafe
(listed as the first night hot spot in the 7th Street and Camp Bowie category)
"Timeless Treasure"
"So who's Fred?" many newbies ask upon entering the most charming little unpretentious bar and restaurant in Fort Worth. Regulars know the name pays homage to the family dog, who belonged to the parents of owner and chef Terry Chandler. Just like the faithful companion, Fred's Texas remains loyal to its patrons by refusing to adjust to the modern market surrounding it. Many doctors, executives, cowboys and rockers will agree, a night on the town doesn't get any better than live music, burgers and beer at Fred's.
