White Elephant Saloon, Fort Worth

White Elephant Saloon, Fort Worth

The White Elephant Saloon has a long history in Fort Worth. It was originally located in Hell's Half Acre, the city's notorious red-light district in the late 19th century. It moved to the Stockyard's in the 1970s and has become one of Fort Worth's most prominent saloons.

The saloon features nightly live music, dancing, shuffleboard and billiards. It also has a full bar and a chili parlor. The chili parlor is open for lunch from noon to 2 PM and for dinner from 6 PM to 8 PM. Texas-style chili is served with fresh, homemade cornbread.

Those hungry for something other than chili can enjoy catering from Love Shack. Owned by Chef Tim Love, the Love Shack offers a variety of burgers, hot dogs and sides like chili parmesan chips and chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches.

The White Elephant Saloon is open from noon until 10 PM or later on weekdays and noon until 1 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.
