McFly's Pub

6104 LtJg Barnett rd., Fort Worth, TX, United

Evoking peak 1980s nostalgia, the bar takes its Back to the Future theme quite seriously, with Instagrammable murals depicting the film’s most iconic scenes and kitschy BTTF references like lights made out of vintage suitcases, classic ‘80s arcade games, a vintage flight simulator, propellers in lieu of ceiling fans, and even a mannequin dressed like Marty McFly propped on the bar’s roof.
