    Picture perfect blackberry margarita!

    Best blackberry margaritas I have ever drank. I have been there several times now and they are always delicious and refreshing!!!! Bartenders a nice. They had live music today and the ambience was great!! If you looking for a neat place to have a drink .....check it out!!!

    This place is great! We happened to go on a live music night which was a blast. The band was a great bonus for entertainment. This place has a unique set up. The music was playing in the back part so if we needed a little more quiet we could go back up front which is a nice design. The drinks were delicious! We were told that all liquor is made in house. We ended up purchasing a Texas honey whiskey after having it in a drink. The bartenders were friendly and very Knowledgeable about their product. Not sure if they serve food. We will definitely be back!

    It's as much about the vibe as it is the liquor

    Adding two stars to my earlier review because I get this place now. Between the Copper Shot bar, the cigar bar (which also has its own liquor bar), the music venue in between, and the amazing bands they book here (several of which have absolutely blown me away, as the Gary Cain band did tonight), you can have the time of your life here, and then be blown away by the fact that you're one of less than 50 people sharing the experience. Is the food good? No. There is no food. Is the service here good? Well... actually, even though there is no wait staff... yes. It is good. Is the vibe good? No. It's not good; it's perfect!

    Well, howdy there, folks, Bastrop ! Where the steers are tougher than a two-dollar steak and the sun's hotter than a jalapeño's armpit. I've been slingin' saddles in this dusty ol' town for five years now, and let me tell ya, the Bastrop vibe 'round these parts has gone plumb downhill faster than a greased pig at the county fair. It's about as vibrant as a fresh cowboy boot squelchin' through a fresh hog pie--y'know, that kinda mess that sticks to your soul and stinks up the whole dang ranch. So, I moseyed on into copper the other evenin', hankerin' for a proper drink to wash away the woes of wranglin' wayward longhorns all day. I bellied up to the bar and ordered me an old-fashioned, shellin' out an extra two bucks for that fancy whiskey upgrade, thinkin' it'd hit the spot like a cold beer on a scorcher. Lo and behold, right there on the bar top, they got these itty-bitty, teensy-weensy chocolate nibbles--smaller than a JFK half-dollar coin, I swear on my mama's biscuits. And get this: they're labeled with a big ol' sign sayin' "SAMPLE" in letters bold as a bull's bellow, but tucked away is this sneaky lil' "$3" whisper. Now, I ain't no greenhorn; I've sampled more freebies in my life than a coyote's sampled trash cans. Sample means "try this on the house, pardner," right? Like, here's a taste to whet your whistle, no strings attached! Well, I reckoned it was complimentary, so I popped that puny morsel in my mouth--whiskey-infused, sure, but barely enough to satisfy a field mouse. Tasted fine, nothin' to write home about. Then comes the bill, and holy rodeo, there's a $3 charge starin' back at me like a rattlesnake in my boot! I hollered at the bartender, "Hey now, hoss, why in tarnation didn't ya pipe up and say these ain't free? You let me chomp it down without so much as a 'howdy-do' warnin'?" She just shrugged like I was complainin' 'bout the weather. $3 Sample ! This is an Oxymoron ! This here's a full-blown Texas-sized contradiction! If you're gonna hawk chocolates for three bucks a bite in 2025--when inflation's already got us payin' $10 for a loaf of bread--then slap a sign sayin' "$3 WHISKEY CHOCOLATES, CASH OR CATTLE" and be done with it. Don't lure a fella in with "SAMPLE" and then bushwhack him on the tab. That's sneakier than a fox in a henhouse! Y'all, over this piddlin' three-dollar dust-up, you've lost yerself a loyal, local boot-stompin' customer for life. I've been comin' here regular last 5 years tippin' like an oil well gusher, but no more! I left a tip so subpar after my two drinks, it wouldn't buy a gumball. And let me set the record straight: your whiskey? Sub as a flat tire on a monster truck. I've sampled every drop y'all got--hell, I've got bottles at home I'm fixin' to return faster than you can say "yeehaw." This joint ain't nothin' but a dressed up tourist trap looking like a high-falutin' distillery, preying on folks who don't know better. I won't darken your door ever again, not if the cows come home ridin' unicycles. Never, ever, EVER steppin' foot in here no more! You've rustled up the wrong cowboy, and now I'm takin' my business to a real saloon where samples mean samples and honesty flows freer than the Rio Grande. Adios, amigos--thanks for nothin'!

    Moonshine margaritas and the man behind the curtain!

    Service with a smile! Open a tab and try out the moonshines they offers! Stop in and try the pecan and also the sweet potato shots!! You won't regret the cigar shack! Wowwwwww!!! Did I mention the music is ALWAYS wonderful and the place to be any day of the week??

    Effing cool. Retro chic. This spot adds sophistication to moonshine. I used to drink moonshine illegally out of Ball jars from a mystery supplier outta Appalachia. My oh my - how the times have changed. Anyway, I had the honey infused Bastropian, and walked around the joint taking in the art. Tip: do go outside in the back and see the humongous pecan tree that's easily over 100 years old. Check out the photos!

    Our friends took us to this local distillery for some afternoon drinks. We had a fabulous time! The array of shine and local brews were awesome. My friend suggested I get the blackberry margarita. I absolutely loved it- the alcohol wasn't too strong or too light, with the perfect amount of sweetness. My friend ordered the Vader- went down smooth- pecan shine and amaretto coffee liqueur. A must try! Cool decor and plenty of outdoor seating. Looks like they have a stage set up outdoors for local bands Can't wait to come back!

    Homemade whiskey flavors!

    I've popped in here twice in the middle of the week. It's nice and clean, not overly loud, bartenders are always friendly and always willing to give advice. I can't wait to come back one day on a weekend!

    If you're ever in Bastrop, you'll definitely want to stop by if you're comfortable trying out liquors/moonshines with different flavors! Drinks/dranks - From the menu, I was most interested in the Cowboy Coffee because it had a great description of things more on the sweet side and it did not disappoint! Not pictured, because I drank it fast and behaved and didn't get another, was the butterscotch shot. Think of a Werther's original, but not in your grandpa's warm pocket, in a chilled, smooth, liquid format. I'm not a connoisseur of any type to evaluate a distillery but I know what I like and they had it :-) Every patron that walked in was really well taken care of. It was pretty early in the day so it wasn't very crowded. There were only two groups of customers indoors and a few that were coming in and out from the outside patio. It was hot out, so that's not my thing, but I can imagine it being a great place to hang out in the evenings or when it's cooler out. I wasn't there too long but from walking around I can imagine that they've got a great entertainment space for live music, sitting/standing area, etc.

I was with a large party and we were seated on an outdoor deck area that overlooks a lovely greenbelt and the Colorado river. I was uncertain about outdoor seating in June, but they had lots of fans that dispense a light mist to help cool the area. The drinks were excellent, I had a margarita on the rocks with tajin rim and it was tasty and refreshing. The food was fabulous! I highly recommend the meatballs. Everyone in our party could not get enough of them. I will be back to try the wings, they looked delish. Misty was our server and I am still in awe over her. She went out of her way to make sure everyone in our (very large) party was taken care of. There were dozens of us and I'm not even sure how she managed to do it but I realized afterwards, I never waited long for anything. Misty was always nearby and so kind and attentive. Im not sure how she took care of so many people at once, it was amazing, honestly. Ive never seen such efficiency and I don't know how she did it. I hope I'm lucky enough to see her again when I go back to sample those wings!

Since I couldn't choose one, I decided on the mixed grill plate. Kafta, taouk, beef kabobs, hummus, tabouli and a side of garlic sauce. The burger is made with Wagu beef and was cooked perfect. It was everything it should have been. The mixed grill was nothing that I would have expected to find in Bastrop.

The music outside was perfect after. 602 is a family run business who is true to their roots and also true to the grub that the locals look for, topped with great adult beverages!
