Our FIFA fever began in 2022 when the global governing body of soccer announced that of the 16 host cities this year, the largest number of matches (nine, to be exact) will be held here at AT&amp;T Stadium, as well as a semi-final. A little trivia for you: Dallas previously hosted FIFA World Cup matches in 1994 at the Cotton Bowl.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s been estimated that the economic impact of the World Cup in North Texas will be $1.5 to $2.1 billion. So, if you\u2019re in town for the festivities, here are our suggestions for a summer filled with savoring, sipping, shopping, and seeing in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n<p>The Bar at Bowie House<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Located on the ground floor of the <a href=\"https:\/\/auberge.com\/bowie-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bowie House Auberge Collection<\/a>, this scene is filled with cowboys of both the 10,000-acre-ranch set or oil-and-gas clique. Celebrity sightings are common (we\u2019ve been hoping to see Samuel L. Jackson or Nicole Kidman, since writer\/director Taylor Sheridan is filming quite a few of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papercitymag.com\/culture\/taylor-sheridans-frisco-king-collin-county-spots-filming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">his television series around town<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Worth Stockyards<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">What was once one of the nation\u2019s largest livestock markets, processing more than five million cattle, has been transformed into one of the largest tourist destinations celebrating Western heritage. We love lining up with other tourists for the daily cattle drive and hearing at least a dozen languages.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"wp-image-735863 size-full img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Forty-Five-Tent-Fort-Worth-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Forty Five Tent Fort Worth (2)\"  \/>Forty Five Ten recently opened its sister outpost in Fort Worth.<br \/>\nForty Five Ten<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/fortyfiveten.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">sister outpost<\/a> of the Dallas downtown store even has its own iteration of Mirador restaurant, Cafe Mirador.
