Hip Pocket Theatre


1950 Silver Creek Road
Fort Worth, TX 76108

(817) 246-9775

Directions:
We're located on the West side of Fort Worth about 1.6 miles ouside Loop 820 on Silver Creek Road (Exit 5B from Loop 820). Silver Creek Road is the third exit North of I-30 or the 2nd Exit South of the Lake Worth Bridge on West Loop 820.

Get on Silver Creek Road and head West (away from Fort Worth). There are two bends in the road before you reach us, one to the right and another to the left. Our entrance will be on your right about 100 ft after the second bend. There are two gates, we are the second gate, you'll see the sign. Just turn in and drive up past our office building and park in our main parking lot.

Walk up to the ticket booth near the main entrance to the theatre and then head back into our Backyard to listen to great music, eat some food and enjoy your favorite beverage.

We'll ring a cowbell when it's time to line up for the show.

Come on out and make an evening of it. Great food and music before and after the stage performance. We're outdoors so dress very casual.

See you soon!
