Dirdie Birdie<\/a>, a new restaurant, bar and mini golf course, is coming to Cowtown this summer.<\/p>\n

The indoor mini golf course will feature 12 Fort Worth-themed holes. Putters should come hungry, as there is also a full restaurant and bar. In fact, customers can choose to visit just for the restaurant or just for the putt-putt course.<\/p>\n

Dirdie Birdie<\/a> is a Texas-born and Texan-owned company. Co-founders Vik and Lina Khasat started the \u201cputt and sip\u201d concept in Austin and are now opening the second location here in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

The new digs will be at 2821 Morton St., the former home of Bottled Blonde and Backyard Bar, which closed in 2024.<\/p>\n

The West 7th Entertainment District does not have many \u201centertainment\u201d options besides restaurants and bars. The only other concept that is activity-centered is Sandbox VR<\/a> a block over at 2956 Crockett St.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what guests can look forward to.<\/p>\n

If guests don\u2019t care for a round of mini-golf, they can go to just have a good meal. The dining room can hold up to 30 guests.<\/p>\n

The scratch-kitchen menu has been curated by Chef Nic Yanes<\/a>, an Austin-based chef. A spokesperson told the Star-Telegram that the Fort Worth menu at Dirdie Birdie will have a lot of the same items as the Austin location but with a few new items. The menu is still in the works, but think elevated bar food.<\/p>\n

You can start with street-corn queso or Nashville hot chicken sliders. There are also unique options like the yellowfin tuna crudo and the pork cheek \u201cpar 3\u201d tacos.<\/p>\n

For mains, there is 24-hour coffee braised short rib served with mashed potatoes and also a double smashed wagyu burger. For pickier eaters they also serve chicken tenders and a turkey club.<\/p>\n

Cocktails include the Strawnold Palmer, which has strawberry lemonade, iced tea and vodka. A (Don\u2019t) Call Me Old Fashioned has bourbon, smoked peach, cardamom and toasted almond bitters. There are also mocktail offerings as well as a full list of beer and some options for wine.<\/p>\n

The 12-hole course will feature some of Fort Worth\u2019s most iconic landmarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cFort Worth has a personality that feels alive, historic and completely authentic, and that\u2019s exactly what we want The Dirdie Birdie Fort Worth to be,\u201d said Khasat.<\/p>\n

Some holes will feature odes to the historic Stockyards, Sundance Square, Panther City and the Fort Worth Courthouse.<\/p>\n

The course also has PuttView technology<\/a>, a system that tracks the ball and allows guests to play interactive games like \u201cputt-pong.\u201d<\/p>\n
