Welcome to Panther City Social

Courtesy Proper Bar

Life is best enjoyed in the company of others, and some of the best memories happen over tumblers of cocktails that warm spirits and conversations. Panther City Social covers often missed stories about bar culture and the people crafting those unique social experiences because our city’s bartenders, chefs, brewers, and distillers are every bit as important in shaping Fort Worth’s culture as our cultural institutions. 

In the coming weeks and years, expect coverage of arts and culture stories, bartending competitions, trends shaping the local food service industry, and profiles of the folks making it all happen. You’ll learn about the duo behind Rumors, the semi-secret social club that makes a splash before vanishing without a trace, and the Near Southside bar mixing up classical cocktails with or without booze and sometimes with cannabis. 

Coffee bars, lounges serving zero-proof cocktails, and wine bars offer a welcome escape, and the people who craft those experiences have stories to tell.
