Arty Lounge |
907, Houston Street Fort Worth, TX 76102 United States +1 817 336 2253 http://www.bentlounge.com/ |
This sleek, loft inspired lounge, located in Fort Worth's hip SoDo (South of Downtown) district is an art fiend and lounge lizards' answer to their prayers. Break away from the normal night scenes and enter a place where local artists get to showcase their works on the wall amongst comfy seating and DJs spinning every night of the week. Don't think that because Bent Lounge has an intimate atmosphere that it tends to be quiet and dull, because with room for 200 guests there are times when it's wall-to-wall people.
