This place has amazing service, first of all. Kate was our server and she is a 10 out of 10. Very attentive and hospitable. We came in there with 13 kids and she handled our party like a boss. -- Definitely recommend requesting her if you visit! Our food was hot and delicious! The soft baked pretzels were perfectly salted and had a divine buttery flavor and soft texture. The hummus is something we're still talking about! The flavor was phenomenal! Nice and bold on the garlic & full bodied with the tahini forward flavor. And the texture was very fresh and authentic to Lebanese style. Wonderful experience! read more

I've been here several times. Usually after a late day at work. It's always filled but never full. Plenty of seating inside or on the patio (but the music can be loud). Service is efficient and nice. Full bar. Pretty good cocktails. I've really become a fan of the chicken fried chicken. Shrimp &grits is the bomb. Burgers are all pretty good as well. Prices are awesome! Unlike ATX, this place has good food, good beer, good cocktails, good people, and it doesn't break the bank! read more

602 on Main - CFS $13 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

I've already done a food review, but I need to point out that 602 on Main is at least five things: a local microbrewery, a full bar, a free live music venue with outdoor seating, a restaurant with interesting food, and a place that supports private dining events. It does all five surprisingly well. Downtown Bastrop would be a heck of a lot more boring without it. Wish there were more places like this in town. I recommend the tipsy nun (high abv, slightly sweet), drunken monk (high abv, mildy bitter), or their IPA. read more

Food was great. There is an additional Greek menu. I love lamb so I was happy. Mine was luke warm so the replaced it, unpacked the food up for me to take home. Great, wait staff, super friendly. You will swear that they knew your whole life. Good prices. First sports bar wasn't too loud. Not my favorite kind of place, sports bar, but not bad. read more

This place is a beer joint with a full bar. Some of the tables had mason jars with wilted flowers and some did not. There were cloth napkins which is a big plus. Be careful since the floor has uneven places--one of which I almost tripped on. We had theTempura Shrimp appetizer that was very good. My hubby got the pork chop that looked dry and overcooked with Gouda grits that were plated with an ice cream scope and as thick as mud. The server was pleasant and attentive. This is not my kind of eatery. read more

First off I really enjoy eating here, the food is good and portion size is about what you'd expect. Nothing over the top. That said it can be hit or miss. Service team tends to switch out quite a bit IMO. Restaurant is always clean and really well cared for. I will eat here, again and again and again. Good beer and good meal. read more

On this visit, we were there for the Bastrop Music Festival. As before, their burgers are great, on buns that they get fresh daily from the best bakery in town. As before, however, we did not care for their 602 (home-brew) beers. We ordered a Belgian-style ale and an IPA (the last two we'd tried here weren't on the menu). These weren't flat (like last time), but we did not like the taste, even though we love these styles of beer normally. We drank what we could, then ordered two Stella Artois. One person at our table did like the local beer, but they had ordered a strawberry cream ale that tasted like Strawberry Quik or Frankenberry cereal, which isn't what we look for in a beer. I'm upgrading from 3 to 4 stars for two reasons: the service (which we really appreciated), and the fact that we had such a good time watching live music there. We were seated in the back porch close to the band. People were dancing in the alleyway and everywhere. A good time was had by all. read more

The food is really great. The service is hit or miss today at lunch a lady with dark hair who waited on us was seemingly in a very bad mood and wasn't very friendly or warm... I wanted to try the bread pudding to go but it was given to me cold and hard like a brick - I was expecting it warm fluffy and ooey gooey- so I sent it back and she wa irritated we wanted separate checks - I have met the owner and he is so wonderful and friendly and we just love him! I love the Rueben rolls - they do really great catering, as well. The ambiance is dark and moody but it livens up at night with live music - the black and blue burger is super good the garlic fries did not taste like garlic though the ingredients are quality and fresh - the bartender Jackson is fun and friendly and I wish the service was faster during lunch hours read more

Previously reviews this place as a good venue for live music and drinks, but didn't care for the food. Happy to say that I went again recently and the food was much improved. Adding 2 more stars! read more

A group of 4 went there for lunch today. The restaurant was perhaps, half full and there was only one waiter. It took a while to place our drink order and the beer (brewed by them) was actually pretty good. The food however was a different story. Three of us ordered the chicken shwarma and the other the chicken fried steak. The chicken fried steak looked like it had been fried too long and it looked a little burnt on the edges. The shwarma was simply awful. The pita bread had been left in the panini press too long it was hard as a cracker. The filling was terrible. The chicken was not sliced thin, there was no taziki as you would expect in shwarma, and there was not much flavor except way too much garlic. We were embarassed because we hosted out of town friends there. There are so many other better options in Bastrop, wish we would have picked something else for our guests. read more

After looking at their menu, we decided this would be a great place to try. We walked in and nobody acknowledged us. There was no sign whether to seat yourself or to wait for a hostess so after waiting for a few minutes with no acknowledgment, we went and sat down at an empty table. Again the waitresses and other employees passed us by. It's like we were completely invisible, we waited for almost 20 minutes and not one "have you been helped" or "you should've waited for someone to seat you" nothing... so we got up and left, on the way out there was a couple that was about to go in, so we let them know that we had been ignored, so they decided not to go in either. It was very very, very disappointing that they completely ignore CUSTOMERS who go there for their food and help keep their doors open. I have told all my family and friends in Bastrop about it, and I will continue to until they step up and do better. If I could give negative stars, I would. read more

Restaurant is good sometimes the service can be very slow. The Reuben rolls are delicious savory and good for a quick snack/light dinner full bar music on the weekends. read more

Raymond was our tour guide, tap-tender, story teller, and maybe the owner? Unofficial tour of the back/brew area was neat. Cool to learn the history of the building. We enjoyed a few beers: Lippy- British brown after the owner of the record store across the way Watermelon sour. Sour straws from The sweet shop in town. " sugar shack sour" Uncle Rico. IPA but not overly hoppy. Kinda like an IPA crossed w a brown ale. Nice stop on a quiet mid afternoon in Bastrop. read more

Mixed opinions, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt with a 4. It was more like a 3.5. Just good enough and a little forgettable. Setting: Quaint and comfortable. Service: alright. Overall value: great. Cream of Mushroom Soup: good. Mashed Potatoes: the best part of the meal. Chicken Fried Chicken: dry meat, mushy bland topping. Asparagus: over-seasoned, under-cooked. Burger: mediocre Burger Bun: the second best part of the meal. (I ate some of it plain because my friend is doing keto.) Fries: over-seasoned, mediocre texture. read more

The food was decent, the service was very good and the ambiance was great. I had a great evening there was some family and we stayed long after we were done eating and chatted. I honestly wouldn't go out of my way for the food but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. I'm just being picky I guess. It was a very enjoyable evening read more

The service here was absolutely awful. Places is very odd. Very artsy. Customers were friendly and outgoing but the service was just awful Karaoke was well ran and fun. Only reason I almost gave it 2 stars on Thursdays read more

Came home and wife said I was taking her out. So here we are! The 602 is on Main Street in a charming old building. The decor is nice, inviting. There was a good crowd and some live music outside on the patio. We were seated along a wall filled with art for sale from a local artist. The menu is filled with interesting items and they craft their own beers in addition to regular favorites. We started with the artichoke spinach dip which came out with a nice toasty finish. The cheese on top was actually noticeable, had a good thickness where most places it's barely noticeable. I liked that it had that thick layer. Wifey got a margarita and I tried the 602 Pilsner called Pop My Collar Pilsner. It was citrusy and delicious. Bright flavor. I would say it was like a Blue Moon. For dinner I got the 602 Alfredo which was rotini instead of fettuccine which I thought was nice. I added grilled chicken. I'm glad I added the chicken as the Alfredo was lacked flavor. The chicken added some flavor and saved it. I kinda wish they added fried chicken (maybe they would if I asked). I was kind of dissatisfied by the lack of taste in the sauce. Wifey got the Chicken Fried Steak which she said was delicious. There was quite a bit of excess breading and she said she wished the gravy was on the side instead of wasted on the extra chunks of breading. We didn't stay around for dessert as I was stuffed, only finished half my pasta. The menu has quite a few tasty looking dessert options that I look forward to trying. read more

I'm absolutely taken aback by how disappointing everything that I had here tonight was. This was my first experience dining here and it will definitely be my last. I ordered a coke to drink, a couple sips in had me asking the waitress for an unsweet tea instead. The mix ratio was all kinds of off on the coke and they somehow succeeded in making it taste like cough syrup. The crawfish chowder that they served was incredibly fishy and thin. The crabcakes they served me were mostly filler, at least from what I ate of them. I stopped about a 3rd of the way through my first crabcake as it was luke warm around the outer edge and cool in the middle. This chicken fried steak was an abomination. it was the toughest chewiest piece of beef I had ever seen outside of jerky, The crust was unable to hold up to the rigorous effort needed to cut through the boot leather inside. if you did manage to get a piece of crust to stay stuck to the meat oh boy get ready. The crust gave an instant burst of greasiness that tasted akin to fast food fries that have never had their grease changed. that grease flavor that coats your mouth and makes everything taste off and awful. The gravy was just bland, sometimes an excellent gravy can make up for other aspects of the meal, but no dice. The hatch green chiles do nothing for a gravy this far gone. The mashed potatoes were one step above instant flakes and only in texture alone, the cheddar mashed potatoes are as basic as you can get on a flavor profile. "Scratch potatoes"? they should scratch this item off the menu, Chef Mic(rowave) putting in work melting all 4 strands of cheese on top of this potato burial mound. save yourself the time and travel and make a pouch of idaho 4 cheese instant spuds instead. I almost gave this place two stars, but there was no redeeming qualities about the food that would ever make me wonder if the other dishes had anything to offer. Stay away lest ye be hankering for a heap of disappointment. read more

Wonderful place to chill at and enjoy their craft beers. I fell in love with Jesse's Girl here. There's more than one meaning to that, actually, but I'm referring to the blueberry stout. The staff is so sweet, kind, and helpful that you just want to keep coming back for more. Unfortunately on my second trip while Jesse's girl was with me, it wasn't on tap that time. By all means if you are at all a beer aficionado, don't miss this place. Heck it's worth driving 71 from Austin just to visit, and I don't say that lightly. read more

Service was terrible. 30 minutes after ordering we were told they ran out of ribeyes and chicken. Waited hour and a half later and still no food had to leave to try to save our Mother's Day dinner. Waitress kept walking by without communicating anything to us. Terrible I do not recommend this place at all. read more

We have been here twice now and it is fast becoming our "go-to" for beer and pretzels. Although many other items on the menu are delicious as well. The setting is a definite YES if you are bringing guests to feel the local flair. A+ Thanks again. read more

Great service and amazing food! Highly recommend! The shrimp and grits were particularly perfect. :)

Came for lunch with a group. Want to like it, but everything was mediocre. Seating at the bar or tables inside and out. General consensus from the group: Beer was okay. We tried several of 602's beers. None really stood out. A little pricey. Food was okay. We all had burgers. It was a burger. Prices appropriately. Service was subpar. I know it's tough to get good help, but service was bad. Nice people, just not well trained or motivated. read more

What a little gem. Downtown Bastrop is just precious and the food and beer at 602 is amazing!! Everyone was so nice and beer was cold and foot was hot and delicious. I'll be back!! read more

Yelp community never disappoints! We stopped in for lunch and totally enjoyed our visit. We weren't sure about the beer so we talked with the owner. He asked what we liked and suggested one and was spot on! We had the Tipsy Nun and Feeling Peachy and really enjoyed them both. We couldn't decide on food because if all looked amazing so we ended up sharing 4 appetizers and, man, they were all delicious! We got the Reuben egg rolls, artichoke dip, pretzel, and garlic fries--YUM!! Highly recommend anyone in town for the day hit this place up. You won't be disappointed. read more

You have to come to get the shrimp and grits. They're probably the best I've ever had. I ordered a side of bacon with it and they chopped it up and sprinkled them on top. So damn good. We also got a Bloody Mary and it was so good. Nice and spicy and I don't think it's the typical mix you buy at a store because it was brown in color. I'm pretty sure it's homemade. It did take a while for our food to come out but I think because it's holiday week. But the wait is worth it. read more

Took a day trip to Bastrop and gave this place a try. The place has a comfortable vibe and plenty of space for seating. The bartender was not all that attentive. I had the Dirt Road Amber and was disappointed. It tasted more like a hefeweizen. For food I ordered the Gorgonzola chicken sandwich. It was a decent sandwich, but nothing to make me really want to return. So yeah. Meh. read more

The food was amazing best crawfish chowder in a few states we had. Service brings back customer service you don't fine anymore. The building and art is inviting. Don't forget to try the native 602 beer. Local made in house. I'm not a beer drinker and it was on point. Must visit!!! Thank you 602. We will back on our next travels. read more

If I could give no stars I would. Stopped in tonight for the first time on a rainy, 50 degree evening. Hostess asked how many people, and I told her it was just me. She said she didn't have any tables and asked if I wouldn't mind sitting OUTSIDE in the rain and cold or get put on a wait list. I can SEE tables AND empty space at the indoor bar. I just came in for a bowl of soup on a cold night and it was the only place downtown that I searched for that offered soup. I suppose the little bit of money they would've made from me wasn't worth it to them. It's too bad They've decided to put a buck above hospitality or service. I had also planned on checking the place out as my ladies group is planning to have its annual Christmas dinner in Bastrop in the coming weeks, and I was thinking about suggesting this restaurant. I certainly won't be now! read more

Started our date night at 602. What a great place. Super friendly staff! Have to give Kasi a shoutout for 5 star service! Food and drinks are both really good. We started with a couple of drinks made to perfection, Reuben rolls (like Reuben egg rolls) and the crawfish chowder they are a must. Especially that crawfish chowder. We then split the chicken fried steak and the crawfish Mac and cheese. Heaven. Just saying you can't go wrong with either one or both! If you are in the Bastrop area definitely stop in! read more

Awesome first time experience dining here tonight! We were attracted to this spot when hearing the open mic night talent on the patio. We originally planned on eating at a cafe nearby but upon walking in realized they were closing. We strolled down to 602 and were humbled by the warm welcome. We arrived at 8pm and noticed their closing time of 9 but jokingly assured the server that we'd be quick. Our server Neil was friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. The menu is broken up into two sides of lunch and dinner. I noticed the special written on a chalk board and immediately decided on ordering it. Redfish with saffron lobster creme sauce, jasmine rice and sliced, steamed squash. Let's just say I was very pleased with my selection 'cause...wow! (And my Father is a retired chef!) I also ordered an old fashioned while waiting on our entrees. That had to be the best old fashioned I've had in years! Kudos to the bartender! Although the other staff were cleaning and stocking tables they were still friendly and did not make us feel rushed whatsoever. If it wouldn't have been so humid out, we would've dined outside. Definitely on the to-do list when the weather is cooler! Such a cute old town area revamped and plenty of places to lunch or grab dinner. I definitely plan on a return visit and will bring friends! Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Has awesome potential- I love the building, the art on the walls, the patio option, the music, the fact they brew in-house for many of their beers. I didn't like that they were "out" of Rueben rolls at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon, or that it took the kitchen FOREVER (over 35+ minutes) to bring out ONE person's order (sitting at the bar) and the place wasn't particularly packed. The bar staff were busy entertaining their own friends/significant others and regulars to even notice I was sitting there most of the time. The person taking my orders at the bar didn't even ask about my included salad/soup for the entree I ordered and had to be brought after food was finally brought out. The artichoke dip was good but not worth the price. The chicken fried steak was also good, and liked the chilies added to the gravy. The cocktails were good and nice heavy pour (but not too much). I'd probably only return here for drinks in the future. read more

Oof. After spending a lovely Sunday afternoon in Bastrop (The Painted Porch bookstore across the street is a must), we came here for some brews and snacks. The space could be lovely with its old brick walls and high ceilings, but the furniture is generic and the whole thing felt grungy. Our table was filthy and we had to get someone to come and wipe it off. The only 602 beer that we ordered was the American Ale and it was fine, and when the waitress suggested a Pilsner, we said great, but that ended up being from Pinthouse, which is basically around the corner from us. I guess we should have clarified that when we said "local" we meant Bastrop specifically. Eye roll. Food took forever to come out even though it was only a kid's meal and some fries. Our daughter's grilled cheese was fine and we were pleasantly surprised that they had grilled up some fresh veggies on the side (we were expecting canned green beans). Our basket of garlic fries was regular fries, many of which were uncooked. Service was friendly but hardly efficient. It's a bummer because this place has so much potential and could really be a destination (like the bookstore) but the whole operation smacked of incompetence and sloppiness. 2.5 stars, rounding down. We would not recommend it but we wish them all the best! read more

#1 service! Brie ( I hope im spelling her name correctly) is a delight! She took care of us and made sure we didn't have to wait for our food. Food: great!

Great drinks. Pretty good food. Fun atmosphere as long as it's not too late. I recommend the penne past dish or a pretzel bun burger!!

Had lunch on Friday and was ver dissatisfied. Asked for burger rare, it was medium well. Fries were not fresh. Cold and limp. Burger had no flavor what so ever. Ate half of it cause I was hungry after waiting 25 minutes for it to arrive. Server asked how it was. I told her and she did not offer to do anything about it. With new co workers so did not take it any further. They were not busy at all. 3rd time here and still no improvement. 3 strikes I'm out!! read more

Meeting an old Army Buddy in Bastrop Texas and wanted something fresh, so we met at 602 on Main. My initial impression was good with a nice bar and choice of Craft Cocktails and Beers. Tried the Crawfish Chowder and it was delicious. Crab Cakes were just okay, had much better elsewhere. The Shrimp and Grits on the other hand was so creamy and delicious, the Smoked Gouda flavor in the Grits made you want to savor every bite, but the real treat was eating the Cajun Garlic Shrimp with the Smoked Gouda Grits, so damn good!! Our waitress was delightful and took great care of us, my only complaint was the Lady Bartender failed to heed my warning to NOT serve my wife when she walked to the bar from our table. I knew my Beautiful Wife had reached her limit and I gave the intercepted the Bartender as my wife was grabbing a bar stool. She served my wife anyway after I walked back to my taband TABC fines bartenders for over serving or serving someone already intoxicated! I reluctantly paid for that drink that should not Ever have been served! read more
