How do you get into Curfew?
We have not confirmed it. Curfew is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at Curfew
How the venue describes itself: “CURFEW is a one of a kind bar & cocktail lounge located in Downtown Fort Worth. Featuring Craft Cocktails, Late Night Pizza, and Dance floor with DJs.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
The current drinks list is published on the venue’s own site — see the menu.
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Sazerac, Ward Eight, and Scofflaw are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Texas
Texas did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1918, two years before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force nationally on 17 January 1920. By the time the Volstead Act was being enforced across the country, Texas already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
