Voodoo Brewing Co. of Pennsylvania continues to add to its presence in Texas, this time with the recent opening of its latest franchise taproom in Fort Worth. It's the third Voodoo locale in North Texas and the fourth overall in the Lone Star State, following previous debuts in Grand Prairie, Katy and Plano.

Locally-owned by David Goldblatt, a recently retired veteran, Voodoo - Fort Worth occupies the ground floor of a building at 1001 S. Main St. in the Near Southside neighborhood of the city. This sets up on the still-developing southern border of South Main Village, placing it down a few blocks from where other popular bars and restaurants do business in the area.

Of course, by now we've covered the fundamentals of how Voodoo does its thing. The home office provides house beers and baseline food selections, while allowing local owners the freedom to add personal touches to the menu or decor. In this case, it being Cowtown, the obvious aesthetic addition is the set of longhorns on the Voodoo logo.

As for how it compares to its brethren in Plano and Grand Prairie, Voodoo - Fort Worth is most similar to Plano in terms of having a downtown neighborhood pub vibe. Beyond that, the food menu is a bit more streamlined in Fort Worth (with apps, greens, handhelds, signature pizzas and wings), and guest taps play a bigger role in the everyday beer lineup.

On that note, Voodoo - Fort Worth pours beer from 26 taps (three of which are nitro), with half of those allotted to company standards, seasonals and spontaneous releases. Examples of each currently on tap include Lacto Kooler Berliner Weisse, Key Lime Kölsch and White Magick of the Sun Belgian Wheat, respectively.

Then on remaining handles, Voodoo - Fort Worth offers a range of local and regional products from the likes of Panther Island Brewing of Fort Worth, Manhattan Project Beer Co. of Dallas, Real Ale Brewing Co of Blanco, Altstadt Brewery of Fredericksburg and others.

From there, those preferring other types of beverages will find hard seltzers, craft cocktails, Liquid Death Mountain Waters (and "Death Mixers"), mocktails, soda and apple juice as options rounding out the drink menu.

Voodoo - Fort Worth serves patrons seven days a week, with operating hours beginning at 3 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, and 11 a.m. from Wednesday through Sunday. They also have packaged beers if you're looking to grab beer to go.
