This place will surprise you! Hands down this the best bar in Dallas. I was not expecting he level of attention to detail this team provided. As soon as I sat down I was greeted with a smile. Staff knows their stuff as well. Every question I asked was answered. I had to ask for a manager to shake their hand. This place is on point. If your looking for a relaxing place to have a custom quality drink made with craftsmanship this is the spot for sure. Not everything is perfect. I saw someone had a little trouble with a game machine eating his quarter and not playing. The team fixed it quick though. They refunded his quarter that minute. Amazing stuff. bottom line check it out. You’ll be impressed.

My friends and I visited the Vetted Well for a girls' night while checking it out for a private event. This will 100% be our venue. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The vibe is low key and open, with an incredible view, and a super friendly staff (Ashely and Paulette are great to work with). We had a blast and the food was just awesome. None of us wanted to leave and we will be planning another trip soon!

We had a great time in the big karaoke room. We had a large group and our server, Jeanice, worked so hard to keep up with our food and drink needs. The food was great, the drinks were great, and the karaoke was super fun. We will definitely return to do it again, at least until we finally get a location out here in Ft. Worth.

I love this place!!! The karaoke rooms are bomb and they're really cute with the different themes. I like the rocket ship one since it's the biggest room. the other ones are small and might can hold 6-8 people. The first time I came here I was a bit confused, didn't realize that it was inside the Alamo Drafthhouse Theater. The outdoor patio is nice, the one in the back with the movie screen, you can even rent that if you'd like for private parties. Ben our waiter is so bomb and really funny! He even participated and sang along to some of our songs! The bar itself is nice, and very modern looking with the heavily wooded furniture. I like the fact that there's plenty of parking for everyone and the views from the patio are nice. You can see Downtown since it's so close.

Food was the Alamo menu when I went but was very good, craft cocktails were amazing! Will for sure go back amazing view of downtown. Service was very good considering it was Saturday night, my server let me know they were pretty busy in the kitchen as its shared with the Alamo downstairs and food would take a bit. Looks like they have lots of plans for the live shows and music super excited to go back!

Large selection of craft beers. Hand crafted cocktails. Occasionally themed cocktails are featured based upon newly released films or replays of famous feature films. Movie parties are a blast. Alamo gives patrons an opportunity to see some great classic films on the big screen even if the film was released before they were born. I don't care if I have seen the movie a hundred times on the small screen, there is nothing like experiencing it on the big screen with state of the art surround sound. Having great food and drinks hand delivered to your reclining seat is a bonus.

Had excellent service from Anthony. I’ve been an Alamo Victory member for years but learned so much from his bartender conversation: why certain beers are served in different glasses here, that I could get a refill of chips with my queso order. Anthony has a clear love of movies and recounted his appreciation for Alamo’s preshows, which are usually excellent. (The fact that he could remember a preshow from a years-old movie is a testament both to his bartender “manner” and to the preshows themselves.) I was having a terrible day and Anthony made it slightly better. Kudos.

Pretty standard bar offerings, with the added benefit of a phenomenal view. Every time we've been the bar staff has been exceptionally helpful, even transferring tickets or food to our movie once we're ready to go into the theater. They're very attentive in asking what time your movie starts so they can help you get there on time. Food is nice, beer selection is good, and the view on a nice fall night makes it all worth it.

We recently had our High school reunion at the vetted well, overall we had an amazing time and the staff was generally very kind and hard working. I really liked the location, the DJ, liquor selection, and the food. My main and only complaint was one bartender in particular, I'm not sure of her name, but she had quite a few tattoos and a very unhappy and angry demeanor. With 22 years experience managing, tending, designing bars I don't say this lightly. This bartender managed to barely work the entire shift, avoid eye contact with all the patrons, look generally annoyed to even be there, and allow her coworkers to carry the entire workload. All of this while her coworkers really needed help and support due to the voracious appetite of my fellow patrons. This in no way ruined my or anyone else's night, largely due to how kind and hard working the rest of the staff was, but if I were managing this establishment I would view this person as dead weight and a cancer for morale. In addition to seemingly producing little to no sales, she left her coworkers to clean the bar that had been thoroughly obliterated. Overall the Vetted Well is a great place to throw a large gathering, with ample options, kind, hard working staff, and a cool location with excellent views, plenty of parking, and a prime location.

Rented out the big karaoke room for a birthday party and everyone had a great time. The loaded fries were good. I got the wings and was not very impressed but everything else seemed good. I was the first to order food and it came out pretty fast but once everyone else started arriving the food orders began to come slower and slower. It would have been nice to have more updated song choices but overall it was a experience. I've had several people ask me about making plans there as they would like to use the venue themselves.

Nice little spot for lunch or dinner. We were seated close to a screaming child which killed the vibe for the first 20 minutes, but once they left it was considerably better!! The food was excellent and our server was fantastic and very personable!! We all left full and happy 😊

The karaoke and the bar upstairs was wonderful I had a great time there. However when it comes to the movie theater, that was the worst experience I’ve had there. I didn’t like that only the first couple of rows seats reclined, and I had a bad experience with the food. I ordered the hotdog and fries, and the fries came cold and the hot dog was warm.

John Strange

Normally, this venue would get 5 stars. Great food, good atmosphere, excellent staff. Today, my order of chicken tenders was visibly over done but delivered to my table anyway. Not what I expect from this normally amazing venue. We'll see how the food is tomorrow when I visit. Hopefully I will be able to give a higher rating.

Expensive for their drink offering, especially when it comes to liquor. They have an amazing bar-side patio with an incredible view of downtown, and farther down the hall, past the karaoke rooms, there is an actual patio (i.e., with a giant sign identifying it as such) that really isn't much and doesn't have much of a view. I did not try the karaoke rooms. Service was okay, and our server was nice. Overall experience was good, but the cost did seem high for what you got. Their craft beer selection is not very impressive.

So this bar used to be a whole lot better but it’s really gone downhill a lot lately. I’d come here every time before going to a show at Southside, but I won’t be doing that in the future. It’s a Friday night, place is packed and there’s only two employees working and taking everyone’s order. Gotta go up to the bar of course and place your order whether it’s a drink and/or food. It’s an extremely slow process, we waited 10-15 minutes every time we wanted another drink. On top of that, the food and drinks are severely overpriced. $17 for a burger? $17 for fish and chips aka 3 fish nuggets. I just can’t do it anymore. This place just is not worth it.

Great venue. The burger was tasty, but barely warm. The fries were stone cold. I don't think the server cared at all. I'm a big tipper and can't remember the last time I didn't leave a tip. No tip here!

Bad service got up to get my own drink refill. Only then did the waitress ask if I wanted a refill. Should have walked out when it took 15 minutes to get drinks ordered. Food was cold not good, and 12 dollars for two Pieces of fish. And the order did not come out correct
