The Aardvark

Fun if you go at the right time. Drinks are pretty cheap and there are fun bands.

Aardvark rules.

Very small but nothing less than amazing

Love this hangout spot! Best live music scene.

A dirty and casual setting. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere.

Very dark atmosphere, decent live music playing regularly, and somewhat awkward sit down area that seemed a little dirty.

Women's bathroom smells like a corpse!!

Our School of Rock Mansfield students usually play their "End of Seasons Shows" at The Aardvark...And let me tell you how amazing this place is! Good sound, Great wait staff and always a fun vibe. We love bringing our students out to this venue

Cool bar...the owner rocks...

A well rounded and classic "home town feel"...the staff is young but "seasoned", most of the crew have been there for a while; everyone is very, very friendly. They have WiFi! right in the middle of college town TCU! Some nights are busy and some are not. They have a wide variety of bands that come through and play. Not a bad place to spend your weekend.

Cool spot

Good local, no-frills bar. The selection of drinks could use improvement. The stage is really nice.

Always a great time. Wether I'm playing the live music or watching the live music. Drinks are on the average if not less and the staff is always friendly. They host karaoke on wednesdays and that's always fun. definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.

Been going here for a long time, it's changed a lot and for the better. I like the other side of the bar, great for people watching. Friendly staff, fair prices and good food! Go when the weather's nice to enjoy the patio.

Great venue. FREE DANNY WEAVER!

Fun environment and conveniently located. We saw Weather Kings, Ting Tang Tina and a few other local bands. We had a great time.

Been going here since I was 14. Sad to see it go.

great folks. Great bartenders! I hadn't been here much in the last few years but I've really gotten to know the folks the last year and all the bartenders are very personable and their food is good grease spoon stuff. Also great brunch. I don't get to go nearly enough because I work on Sundays now but I do know they use wrights bacon. I know because it was so freaking good I asked why kind it was. I really love the bartenders sam, joshah, and Mikey! They are good for some conversation and great service. The owners I don't see often but when I do they are always very sweet and funny!! Also, they buy us a drink nearly every time they see us. A local dive with great music. Great sound. Great food and the crowds for the most part are cool. I'm not a big TCU crowd fan but it's not too bad. The good out weighs the douchebaggerry for sure!! Not that all TCU folks are bad but I'm 33 and sometimes they are a hit silly for me. Arguing and what not. :) love the VARK!!

Dead

Awesome venue for live music on Friday nights. The $10 entry is totally justifiable when the bands are great.

We have always has an great experience here. Great service and good food. The music is the best thing. Go on a night Holy Moly plays and there's no way you leave with a bad experience. They have a lot of good bands come through there. Give it a try.

Great for normal people to people-watch!

They're closing down.

Divey

Watch the bartenders...some will charge extra...

This is a great spot to hit for a quick lunch between classes or on your break. The food is delicious and made quickly. The night scene can be crowded but its right on track for a college bar with cheap drinks and good music.

Incredible live music venue close to TCU

I thought Ben and the staff were greatAnd Nick your a great sound engineerThank you all....hope to see yall down the road

Just good fun.

No parking lot or garage....you have to park on the street. We went here to see Jonathan Tyler and Nikki Lane... both were awesome, but I don't think we'll be back.

A lot of potential to be a cool place. Not sure about the placement of the pool table right by the stage, a bit distracting for a real show. I like the open air design with the windows wide open.

Nice venue, plenty of after show places within walking distance to grab a bite.

Good drinks. Definitely a place that has regulars. Beware of petty gossip, if you get to know anyone.

Pretty good place to see a show, but keep an eye on your tab, the bartenders will put other drinks on your tab.

Fight or kick rocks for front door parking...sometimes..when Dirt Nastee has been drinking all day. Yeah, that's pretty much the only time. Get a tattoo next door at Berry street tattoo
