Family and animal very friendly. Bring everyone! Very casual and relaxing with live country music on Saturdays. Music - when we were there- was not too loud. David Touchton was in stage. He was fantastic! If you get a chance to see/hear him sing... you really should. One man band but he is just that good. Now back to the Rising Sun. I particularly enjoyed the watermelon and pear accentuated wines. Very different and fun. Hubby really liked the "Barbarian" red. The food menu includes tacos, pizzas, burgers, and a few sharable dishes like hatch chili skillet enchiladas, wings, charcuterie board etc. It is all self service. Everyone is very nice.

At our functions / Car Shows and Charity functions, ACW supported us and on many occasions, fitted special wines with our Logos and Our Classic cars on the lables. Now these wine bottles are collector items. Mary,. owner of ACW could not be any sweeter. The business relocated ot Lockhart and has established themselves at a new location. They still make a great a great sellection of winjes that are free of high sulfides. Come take a trip out to Lockhart, have some great wines then go get some BBQ... Thank you Mary, You'r the Grrrreatest

I love this quiet oasis away from the chaos of other places! The Barolo is really good and I…read moregrabbed another bottle today and also picked up a Pinot Grigio. The wines do not have the chemicals that I don't think should be added. A wine should stand on its own! "Custom wine without the chemicals" Supremely good! I'm a wine snob as I was raised with it and also living and working around the world I was able to have some of the best wines in the world. No, I am not rich . Wines that are sent to the states are really jacked up in price and I was able to get what I wanted and bring it back. One thing I did learn is that you don't drink an expensive wine as a part of the meals but enjoy it on its own. I bought 2 bottles of Barolo to have with an Italian meal. It was a great fit. This little place has fulfilled the perfect fit! The lady who owns the place and makes the wine is quite nice and understand all of the above. I will be back!

First-time visit and overall a mixed but positive experience. The place has a very down-home,…read morecountry feel, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly. There were plenty of drink options to choose from, and the menu definitely caught our attention, which is what brought us in. We started with the nachos with beef. They were pretty good overall, though the Velveeta-style cheese wasn't our favorite. The meat lovers pizza was a hit -- thin crust, well-cooked, and full of flavor. The main reason we came was for the chicken wings, and unfortunately, those were a bit disappointing and left us wanting more. However, the owner personally came over to apologize and explained that those were not the wings they normally serve. He even comped us $10 in cash, which was a very appreciated and classy gesture. The staff was friendly throughout our visit, and because of how the situation was handled, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and plan to come back again to let them redeem themselves.

It was a good burger, but not my favorite. The bun was a bit hard and the meat was a little tough. On a high note, they did pack it high, lots of bacon on it. The fries were excellent! Staff were nice. We'd come back.

Hit up this place for a Saturday night of good food and music. 602 hit the note for both. We…read morestarted with a dirty martini, where there were choices on the vodka depending on your taste and budget. The beer selection has lots of familiar brews and some fun different ones. The bartender was great about explaining each. The dinner menu had some tried and true items, like the burger and fries. But, 602 is now leaning on its roots and culture with a mediterranean menu. 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 taste, the portions and just the offering of menu items that was not the usual that is easily found in this town. The garlic sauce was perfect to put over the meat. I did wish I had a little more and should have asked for a side. The hummus was fresh, and the portion size of that and the meal was extremely filling. 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!

We saw this new place listed on Yelp that was so new it didn't have any reviews yet. We had no idea…read morewhat to expect. "Frontier Cellars" - Is they a small retail shop selling other people's wines? What is it? We were curious. Well, someone had to be first and we were totally game. So we checked out their hours and I added a reminder it to my Outlook calendar. I am so glad I did! At first my wife was like... are we heading to the right place? We turned onto a gravel road. And if it felt like we were entering a working ranch, that could perhaps be because it is also a working ranch. But this made it the ideal setting to taste Texas wines! We were delighted to discover that they do, in fact, make their own wines. And they know what they're doing. Our favorite of their wines was produced and bottled in Hye, TX (near Fredericksburg). And they will be planting a vineyard here in Smithville, too :-) We tasted all five if their wines. Two roses, a white, a Sangiovese, and a Cab/Malbec blend. They have a great curated flight option for a great price. We also ordered two glasses of their "Big Red." And that was so good, we ordered a bottle to take with us and we joined their newsletter. We'll come back to sip wine, enjoy the view and listed to some live music. They have foods to snack on, too. We had the charcuterie. It was very nice. The meats were nice, the crackers were amazing, we enjoyed the cheese (especially the high-end parmesan) and there were great condiments including some delightful pickled Peruvian peppers. I expect that this place will become very popular very quickly!

Lots of free parking available. Entered the place and we were greeted by a smiling employee and some water! This place is a great secret to exploring. They have 4 different bourbons that they give you FREE samples. And they have several others that they only charge $3.00 per sample. Husband & I each had a taste of the 4 year & the 6 year which was a great way to become familiar with their bourbon. We then decided to order some drinks. Husband had Smoked Bourbon (rocks glass) which is;2oz Sixth Street Bourbon, 1 oz Vanilla Liqueur, Mesquite-Smoked Ice Cube, Cinnamon Stick( so they smoke the ice cube) this was a great drink. I had Old Fashioned (rocks glass) 2 oz Sixth Street Bourbon, 1/2 oz Simple Syrup, Angustura Bitters, Orange Twist, "Filthy" Cherry. It's an Old Fashioned which is always good. This place is small town charm with a 'Cheers' feel. I highly recommend that you go here. If traveling on 71 or 10 or 290 make the stop and hang out with some great people and drink some great bourbon. ...You MUST try the Rock and Rye as it's like Fall in a shot glass, but you need to sip it and enjoy it. Your Welcome!!
