I split my time between both cities and I'm sorry but Fort Worth is winning on the music front right now.
LiveOak in the Stockyards has incredible bookings. Magnolia Motor Lounge is intimate and always has good acts. The Ridglea Theater is a perfect mid-size venue.
Dallas has more quantity but Fort Worth has better quality and way less attitude. You can actually talk to the artists after shows. The crowds are more chill.
Dallas people: prove me wrong. Where should I be going that I'm not?
