Our History

Our venue, built in 1915, is deeply ingrained in the rich history of Fort Worth’s stockyards. Originally established as a hub for livestock trade, the stockyards were a vibrant commercial center that played a vital role in shaping the American West. As time passed and the needs of the community evolved, the stockyards embraced new purposes, transforming into a bustling marketplace for goods, a focal point for cultural gatherings, and an epitome of Western heritage.

This property once belonged to Mr. Aguilera, owner of Aguilera's Cafe. This restaurant enjoyed a reputation as the go-to spot for folks in search of the best breakfast burritos. It was not just a place to savor delicious meals but also a living testament to the enduring spirit of the local community.
