The Welcome Party is in the back semi-private room at Lil' Red's Longhorn Saloon located at 121 W Exchange Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76164 in the Stockyards. There are two entrances into Lil' Red's Saloon. Please enter in the 2nd door at the "top" of the street (it should be the less busier door). You will be greeted by one of our wedding planners who will check you in and give you a wrist band for the bar. **Please know if you go in the front entrance, you will be asked to pay a cover fee. Your cover fee is "covered" by the bride and groom when you enter through the back entrance. There are multiple bars throughout the saloon, however there is only a bar tab in the back semi-private room for wedding guests with a wrist band.
In the Stockyards National Historic District free street parking is offered along East Exchange Avenue. Additional paid parking can be found in paid lots throughout the district. Please keep in mind that the Stockyards are very busy on the weekends, and parking might be difficult. We suggest calling an Uber or Lyft to avoid parking far away and walking at night.
No. The welcome party is drinks only, we suggest you eat before. There are plenty of restaurants in the Stockyards and suggestions found in our "Things To Do" section of the website.
