Nice and big and just that old town feel. Takes you back to the late 1800's or early 1900's. Plenty of cold beer options and decent wine list. And fair prices - tip just buy the bottle of wine. It's a deal. Service was great as well. We didn't order any food but some interesting options. This place is certainly worth stopping in while you're downtown shopping.

The charcuterie board was a standout it is diverse, unexpected, and definitely not your typical meat-and-cheese board.

Good food, cold beer, friendly people, and Texas countryside...sometimes getting a little lost is worth it.

YEGUA CREEK BREWERY -- McDADE, TEXAS…read more Sometimes I plan surprises for Doug. And sometimes I absolutely NAIL IT. For Father's Day, I surprised him with a trip to Yegua Creek Brewery here in McDade. What he DIDN'T know was that they were offering a Father's Day steak dinner special... Fresh-grilled steak. AND a beer of your choice. AWWEEEE SHITTTT. Happy Father's Day, Dougie Fresh. And when I say fresh-grilled, I mean you could literally WATCH your steak being cooked. They had a young man and his helper outside working the grill, cooking those steaks right in front of everyone. There's something about standing there with a cold beer while somebody is grilling your steak that just feels right. And the food? TOP NOTCH. Steak was fantastic, beer choices were plentiful, service was great, and the prices were very reasonable. But Yegua Creek is more than just somewhere to grab a beer and some food. The whole PLACE is an experience. There's plenty of seating, room to wander around, things to look at, live music at different times, nightly specials and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. It's also very family-friendly. And DOG-friendly. There were dogs hanging out all over the place, which obviously earns bonus points in our world. Grab some food. Grab a beer. Listen to some music. Walk around. Pet somebody's dog. Stay awhile. That's our kind of place. There's also a winery at the same location. We didn't try any of the wine products on this visit, so I'm not reviewing something we didn't experience. We're professionals over here, people. Well... "Professionals" may be stretching things. We're wearing pants and keeping score. That's close enough. Would we return to Yegua Creek Brewery? ABSOLUTELY. Good food Great beer selection Reasonable prices Great service Live music Family-friendly Dogs Relaxed Texas atmosphere And now... TW'S REAL PANTS RATING: -- 4 out of 5 Real Pants Would we leave the campground and put on real pants to come back? HECK YES. Four pants proudly awarded. Cold beer, grilled steak, live music and dogs wandering around? That's worth getting dressed for.

It's the center of community interaction, just like the pub was in days of old. Great service and friendly people are what you'll find at Leon's. Along with some really great bands, solo acts, duos etc. they have really great entertainment. I can't wait to go back. if you find yourself out in the boondocks of Bastrop County, stop in this little Oasis and have a cool one. You won't be sorry you did.

Best Cigar Lounge Experience - A Must-Visit!…read more I've been to cigar lounges all over the country, but C&S Cigar Lounge stands out as one of the best! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed like family--whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor. The atmosphere is warm, laid-back, and just the right mix of upscale and inviting. Their signature cocktails are on another level. The peach cobbler whiskey sour is a game-changer, and if you haven't tried the watermelon moonshine from Copper Shot Distillery, you're missing out! Pair that with their impressive cigar selection, and you've got the perfect night. Live music nights? Unbeatable. Great bands, good vibes, and a crowd that knows how to enjoy the moment. The owner and staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a top-tier experience. I've found my cigar lounge, and if you're in the area--or even passing through--C&S is a must-visit.

THE OWL WINE BAR & HOME GOODS…read more OH. MY. STARS. Someone apparently sat down and said: "You know what this town needs? A wine bar AND a thrift/home-goods store." And somewhere, without even knowing why... I felt a disturbance in the universe. Because this place is basically the ultimate TW combination. First things first: don't let "Wine Bar" scare off my fellow non-wine people. I'm not much of a wine drinker either, and they have PLENTY of beer. But here's where things get fun... Almost EVERYTHING around you is FOR SALE. The chair you're sitting in? Possibly for sale. That cool piece of décor you keep staring at? Check the price tag. The furniture? Yep. Basically, with the exception of the actual bar and bar stools, you're having drinks inside a full-blown thrift/home-goods shop. AWWEEEE SHITTTT. Now THIS is my kind of drinking establishment. The whole place has a funky, comfortable, eclectic vibe, and our server was incredibly fun and engaging. The kind of person who adds to the experience rather than simply dropping off your drinks. They also have something going on practically every day of the week, including happy-hour specials, ladies' nights and other events. One that especially caught my attention: Vinos & Vinyls on Fridays. Bring your own records and enjoy some drinks. HOW FUN IS THAT?! Prices were very reasonable, too. And then... I discovered the patio. Now, Texans have already made it abundantly clear that normal people do not voluntarily eat or drink outside when it's approximately the temperature of Satan's front porch. Doug and TW? "Can we sit outside?" Of course we can. We grabbed our drinks, headed to the patio and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We didn't try the food/snacks this visit, so I can't review those yet. And yes, I said yet. Because we are ABSOLUTELY coming back. Drinks Thrifting Fun atmosphere Great service Reasonable prices Outdoor patio Seriously... what else do I need? Well, maybe another beer and whatever piece of furniture I've accidentally decided I can't live without. And now for the important part... TW'S REAL PANTS RATING: -- 4 out of 5 Real Pants Would I leave the campground and put on real pants to come back? HECK YES. Four pants proudly awarded. We'll save that fifth pair until we come back, try some snacks, drink another beer... and see whether I accidentally leave owning the chair I was sitting in.

There's also a soda fountain, which is a nice touch, and parking was easy with a good number of spots available. Highly recommend for a laid-back, fun hangout spot with something for everyone!
