Ft Worth Pub Crawl

Big Tom and Hannah gave us a history and background of the stockyards here in Fort Worth. Great time visiting the honky tonks and listening to cowboy history while imbing in our favorite beverages.

Response from Host, May 2026

Fantastic! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your time with Tom and Hannah and our combo of history and beer. Please come crawl with us again soon. Cheers!

Great History Lesson of Fort Worth

Barbara_G, May 2026
This is the second time we have done this tour. We have done it when we have out of town guests. During this tour, my family from Germany was visiting. Big Tom did a great job talking about the history of FW and the stockyards as well as accommodating a couple of special requests we had. We will definitely do this tour again with any other out of town guests we might have. Big Tom was AWESOME!

Response from Host, May 2026

Awesome! Thanks very much for your kinds words. We are so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Tom, and we look forward to seeing you on another crawl soon. Cheers!

John_W, Apr 2025
Big Tom is extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken. His knowledge of Fort Worth history is superb! The bars we visited along the tour were great insight into the Fort Worth honky tonk scene (Hells 1/2 acre)! I will recommend this to anyone interested in history and some good adult beverages along the way.

Really enjoyed this tour. Big Tom was excellent - really good company and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned lots and had good laughs along the way. The stockyards area is great, in general, but this tour helped us get much more out of it than we would have been able to do on our own. Cheers from Edzell, Scotland!
