Few images of the American West are more enduring than the stagecoach. On July 18, 1856, the United States mail line brought the first stagecoach to Fort Worth on its way to Fort Belknap. The stagecoach stopped at Steel’s Tavern at the present intersection of Bluff & Houston Streets, then headed west. At Fort Belknap, passengers and mail joined the Southern Overland mail line on its route connecting the East Coast to San Francisco.
By the 1870s, daily service arrived and departed from Fort Worth’s El Paso Hotel on Main Street. With the arrival of the railroad in 1876, the city became the largest stagecoach terminus in the Southwest. In 1878 the Fort Worth and Yuma stage line was established, providing mail delivery on a “star route” to Yuma, Arizona. The six-horse team pulled the stage 1,560 miles on a 17-day trip, the longest daily stage line in existence at that time.

Known as the greatest bucking horses of it’s’ time, this little black horse became known for being so unpredictable even after being gelded and trained. His owner Jim McNabb thought it might try his little black gelding out in the bronc circuit. I think the rest is history. Ride on Midnight, your remembered in fame.

Open 7 days a week, this neighborhood bar offers live music Thursday through Saturday. Thursday night is jam night; local musicians come out to play with others.
Patrons are usually locals and musicians. The Swing Dance club meets here several times a month. Drink prices are average.
There is no cover charge, unless it's a major event or holiday, such as New Years Eve.
Please note: The music is LOUD and the cigarette smoke can be pretty dense at times. From very casual during the week, to cocktail attire on weekends. No dress code at any time.
