Things To Do
Fort Worth Stockyards
Experience the Old West with daily cattle drives, rodeos at Cowtown Coliseum, western shops, saloons, and the world-famous Billy Bob’s Texas honky-tonk.
Fort Worth Botanic Garden
The oldest botanic garden in Texas, featuring lush trails, themed gardens, and a peaceful Japanese Garden. John and I visit every spring and fall and it was our spring visit on April 18th, 2025 that John proposed
Hotel Drover, Autograph Collection
This is newer to the stock yards but has quickly turned into a highlight and a favorite stop of ours in the stockyards for a cocktail before dinner or a nightcap
Second Rodeo Brewing
Second Rodeo is a lively brewery-bar nestled in Mule Alley, Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards, set inside a repurposed horse barn, its a great place to see live music, grab a beer or something to eat. John has played music here a few times with friends of his, with many more to come
Little Lilly Sushi
Little Lilly Sushi is your neighborhood sushi bar, bringing a taste of Japan to Fort Worth. A Harvison favorite this place is very special to us. Pam and Randy Harvison have been following the Chef, Danny, wherever he worked in Fort Worth for 20+ years until he opened his own restaurant in the very spot they found him many many years ago.
Ketzler's Schnitzel Haus And Biergarten
Ketzler's is Nathan and Angelica Wright's restaurant in historic Granbury, TX located right in the city square. With amazing Germany food, great company, and live music from the amazing Karen, this spot is near and dear to our hearts (non-biased review).
Angelo's Bar-B-Que
A beloved Fort Worth spot since 1958, Angelo's Bar-B-Que serves authentic Texas-style brisket and pork ribs in a rustic, cafeteria-style setting. This spot is hidden in white settlement and rarely known but anyone outside of Fort Worth and even some in Fort Worth. We have grown up going here with our families and is our favorite BBQ spot in town.
Kimbell Art Museum
A world-class art museum known for its architecture and a small but exceptional collection featuring works by Michelangelo, Monet, and Picasso. (9 min drive from venue)
Joe T. Garcia's
If you haven't been yet, which would be rare for this guestlist, Joe T's is a timeless Tex‑Mex favorite since 1935, renowned for its lush patio and legendary margaritas. A true Fort Worth institution. We grew up going here with family and friends and is a Fort Worth Staple if you have not visited before (but we're sure most of you have)
Fort Worth Zoo
One of the best, top ranked zoos in the country, home to over 7,000 animals - its a Fort Worth staple to visit as a kid and always so fun
