We went to the Schoolyard to watch a hockey game and see what was going on here. Let's take the big…read morethree questions one at a time. First the food is very lacking. There is really only two choices, a mac and cheese place and Mikey's Cheesesteaks which I will review separately. Definitely need more options, not sure if they have food trucks in the summer or not, but need more. Let's skip to the best attribute, the ambiance. Love the old elementary school layout, with the courtyard and various little businesses in the old classrooms. The bar is in what I assume was the old cafeteria, which was roomy with various seating options. There was a couple guitar players playing which was nice, and prices were reasonable. Now the low point. The afternoon bartender couldn't wait to get out of there fast enough. We asked for the game outside on the big TV as there was nobody there but us. She told us to ask the night bartender as she was about to leave (not sure why that was important and she was there another 15 minutes before relief arrived), but we had almost an hour so we got our drinks and sat down. After shift change we ordered round two and asked for the outdoor TV as instructed, but in the meantime someone had asked for the basketball game so we got a TV near us in the bar. Whomever had requested the outdoor TV didn't even make it to halftime of there game, but by then I didn't feel like moving. Great history, great idea, just lacking in execution at this point. I hope things work out.

This is an interesting place with an interesting history. A…read moreformer schoolhouse that opened in 1871, the first public school for Black students in Seguin. It was made possible by the Second Baptist Church. It was called Abraham Lincoln School. In 1892 the school became part of the Seguin public school system. In 1925 the name was changed to Ball High School after its first principal and one of the founders. The school ceased being segregated in 1966. There is a sports bar here called Seguin Schoolyard (opened in 2024). However, the entire grounds are also known as the Seguin Schoolyard as they are an extension of the bar. This review is for everything because it's a really cool concept. There is a huge outdoor area with a stage that is kinda sorta giving Luckenbach vibes. Lots of covered and uncovered seating featuring picnic tables and deck chairs. A great outdoor stage for local and national performers. The outdoor space also has an outdoor bar for concerts. The grounds are lined with several businesses including a bakery, hair salon, art center for kids, cheesesteak shop, the namesake bar, shops, and more. What a great addition to Seguin! Heck, Paul Wall will be performing there in November 2025. The (indoor) bar itself is spacious and comfortable with bar seating as well as living area-style seating. The staff are super fun, friendly, and attentive. Family, kid, & pet-friendly.

The ambiance was what you'd expect at a sports bar. Lots of TVs, etc. friendly crowd. The food was pretty good, but we were a little disappointed with the beer. It really wasnt COLD. It was colder than room temp, but definitely NOT Ice cold. Disappointing, esp for a sports bar. We really wanted that. We left after 1 beer- prob would've stayed for more if it were ice cold drafts in the middle of summer.

On this days adventure I found myself in Seguin at the "Power Plant Texas Grill". But let's start…read morefrom the beginning, as you arrive you are greeted by an incredible view of the river and the restaurant that was once an old power plant (hence the name). Parking is little limited but on the side of the establishment is an auxiliary parking. As you walk inside you see the old power station. As you enter you are taking to your seat, either inside or in the patio area to see the view of the river. The personnel are very helpful and kind, they answer any questions regarding the menu. Now the food I choose the "Pecan Crusted Chicken" with a side salad and "Poblano Corn", there are many options for your sides to make it your choice. As far as the taste of the meal, it was delicious and outstanding flavors, I highly recommend this place.

We arrived just after most local shopping had closed; perhaps a drink and time to soak in some nightlife instead. Checked Yelp and didn't see much. Google search led us to Seguin Bar and Billiards. Place wasn't too crowded and there was an available table. Drinks ordered from the friendly bartender! Jim Beam and Coke for me; rum punch for the lady. OK, so we had to help with that recipe lol. Once the drinks were flowing and we were playing it was a fun evening. Only complaint was there was no chalk for your hands. First pool hall I've been too that didn't have it.

I think if this bar got more organized on their busier nights, the wait time for their costumers wouldn't be as long. The bartenders could definitely be a little faster, I order 4 ranch waters and I swear it took longer than 10 minutes to be made, it was surprising the pace the bartender was going with how busy the bar was that night lol. I would still recommend this bar for its fun environment but if you're impatient and going on a weekend and you're going to pick a place for last hour or 30mins keep this in mind.

He was playing do a wrangled up my wife, Maria and we went. This place is a bit hidden, by the walls that cover the seating area, outdoors. They have an indoor bar, very welcoming staff. Full bar, liquor and beer. Nice indoor area, cool inside. Very open area, and very clean. Great atmosphere. We sat outside to watch Mark Berry play. They have a trailer for a stage, very country, lol. No hay bales to sit on, so it's not too country. Plenty of seating, picnic tables, outdoor bar. You can sit on the patio, or out over the grass. They have two ramps to get up to the indoor bar, good lighting for the stairs. The bathrooms are clean, four rooms, one is a family bathroom and the other three have unisex bathroom signs. We will definitely go here again. A decent beer selection. And I got to smoke a cigar outside. I brought my own.

It has a great atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. One of our favorite nights to go is Thursday, when they offer a charcuterie board and two glasses of wine special, perfect for a casual evening out. The selection is well done and pairs nicely with their drinks. What really sets this place apart, though, are the people. The bartenders are fantastic, and the owner and his partner are incredibly friendly and outgoing. They genuinely make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with great drinks, friendly faces, and a welcoming vibe, Schertz Creek Bier Garten is hard to beat.

Plenty of parking at this location and easy to get to off the I-10. Service and cleanliness were quite good. Willie's is a little confusing in their ordering system as you can order at the register, or from the waiter directly. Depending on who you place the order with, you can either pick up your drinks yourself, or the wait staff will do it. Personally, I'm a fan of their burgers, brisket potatoes, and margaritas. Avoid the crawfish (when in season) and the steak fingers at all costs, though! You have been warned. Desserts are generally good across the board, be sure to try the Bourbon Bread Pudding and the delightful Peach Cobbler. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh.
