Fort Worth, TX 76109

Hours: Daily – 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

If you think the name sounds pretty basic, you won't be surprised when walking through the door at Buffalo Bros. However, the food and drink will come as a shock. With specialty pizzas like broccoli and cheese, you'll quickly agree that this isn't your typical bar fare. Of course their bloody marys cannot go unmentioned. Choose from Tito's Vodka or Grey Goose, both of which will be combined with the restaurant's own bloody mary mix and all the essentials. Ask for it to be prepared according to your specific preference, whether that be extra salty, spicy or with a topper of pickle juice.
