Magnolia, a hipster enclave on Fort Worth’s southside, has become the city’s buzziest and most queer-friendly neighborhood. Almost every creative establishment here flies a rainbow flag, not necessarily because they’re LGBTQ+ in a significant way, but because the millennial-driven vibe here is one of inclusivity.
Magnolia Avenue is an excellent alternative to Sundance Square if you want something more relaxed. It is a stylish and popular area located just south of downtown Fort Worth. Magnolia Avenue is home to a number of hipster-friendly local shops, eateries, and pubs. Magnolia Avenue is the place to go whether you’re looking for a coffee shop or a vintage store.

Camp Bowie Boulevard, renamed after a local World War I military training camp, has become the City’s central commercial avenue. Currently, Camp Bowie continues to be a vital shopping, restaurant, entertainment, and necessity corridor for those who reside in and around the neighborhood. Most of the history is retained in the structures that still house locally owned enterprises. Fort Worth residents can still peruse the aisles of Roy Pope Grocery, eat a burger at Kincaid’s, and order the Roosevelt Special at The Original. Significant occasions are marked with a Blue Bonnet Bakery pastry or cake, and congregations continue to gather at a number of churches that have all called Camp Bowie home for the previous 90 years.
The Boulevard is divided into two sections: The Bricks and Ridglea, which are tree-lined and surrounded by attractive pocket parks, stylish stores, and wonderful dining options. The Bricks, perhaps the district’s most recognized feature, is lined with old red bricks and is home to many legendary Fort Worth spots. Farther to the west, the architecture of Ridglea has a strong Mediterranean feel from the 1940s, especially the famous Ridglea Theater, which was built in 1948. The Boulevard is known for its unique bakeries, boutiques, cafes, and everyday essentials. It is home to some of the trendiest shopping. It’s six miles long, from the Fort Worth Cultural District to Camp Bowie W. Boulevard, so you’ll need to drive, park, and walk around to see everything.

West 7th Street is a vibrant urban village in Fort Worth that connects downtown with the Fort Worth Cultural District, with a diverse selection of pubs, restaurants, and stores. West 7th Street also has a number of entertainment establishments, such as a movie theater and a dance club. West 7th Street is the place to go if you want to have a good time.

Lancaster Avenue
Formerly known as Front Street, the roadway was renamed East Lancaster Avenue in 1931 — in honor of John Lynch Lancaster, the Texas and Pacific Railroad president at the time. The most famous places on Lancaster Avenue are Griff’s Burger Bar, which opened in 1962 when burgers cost only 15 cents. Now, it has locations across the country; The Texas & Pacific Station, which was built by Texas and Pacific Railway in 1931 and is now a terminal for the Trinity Railway Express, where the upper floor has been renovated and is now available for purchase as condominiums; The Lancaster Lofts built in 1926 and was brought back to life in 2004 by Flora Brewer and Paulos Properties. The loft-style apartments can now be rented.
The Lady and the Pit, one of the city’s best new restaurants in 2017, and its Southern-inspired menu items such as chicken and dressing, smothered pork chops, and peach cobbler are other highlights of the street; The Reby Cary Youth Library is the city’s first youth library; and The Cutting Edge Haunted House was voted the Best Haunted house in the US.
Exchange Avenue
Exchange Avenue is the Fort Worth Stockyards’ Main Street. If you’re in the Fort Worth area, you should visit the historic Fort Worth Exchange Avenue. There are authentic cowboys and girls, live longhorns, and a star-studded street. The streets made of cobblestones take you back in time. Down the Boulevard, there are several lovely shops as well as some decent bars and restaurants. The daily walking of the longhorn steers at 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. is the highlight of this street. There is also a small museum that is worth visiting and is filled with local history.
