Fort Worth music venue the Post to reopen in former Lola's Saloon
A popular music venue in Fort Worth is making a comeback: The Post, the intimate listening room that has become a staple for music lovers, is opening for business at 2736 W. 6th St., in the address previously occupied by Lola's Saloon, the longtime music venue.
According to a release, it will open in February, and already has a slate of acts booked and ready to rock 'n roll.
The Post originally opened as The Post at River East, a restaurant, music venue, and event space at 2925 Race St., in June 2019. After five years in that space, it closed on February 2024, opting not to renew its lease.
The venue was opened in 2019 by Bob Johnson, who'd previously owned Live Oak, a similar live music-restaurant-bar. It also had lease issues (the rent was too high), so Johnson and many members of the original team resurfaced at The Post, in a cool former post office vintage building from the 1940s.
Lola's vacated the 6th Street space to decamp to Berry Street, then closed at the end of 2023.
The Post has been dedicated to showcasing local, regional, and national acts in a cozy atmosphere that allows for an unforgettable experience. The new venue will continue this tradition in a building that has a long legacy for the Fort Worth music scene.
Upcoming Shows include:
- 2/6/25 - Cory Cross with guest Ryker Hall
- 2/7/25 - Trace Bundy with guest Jacob Furr
- 2/8/25 - Courtney Patton Album Release
- 2/14/25 - Cheating Songs with Raised Right Men
