    Great drinks. Bar staff are super friendly and accommodating. While the bar is in the very back, there are rooms to enjoy your libations with your friends. Fun place to start your Round Top day.

    The staff, the vibes, the drinks, the spot were all perfection! They accommodated our group, gave us great drinks and we had a great time.

    Busy afternoon at the Ellis Motel!

    Go here often now and always love it. The Bartender even usually already knows what we are going to drink! Great atmosphere and nice people all the time in a very nice old venue!

    Disappointed. Always love stopping here. Group of 8 and had my 6 year old granddaughter with us, again. New signs up saying NOONE under 21 inside or out. Went a few months ago and the sign specified no one under 21 after 5. We were there at 4pm. So we took our business to Koopers Whiskey and had a great time and all were welcome. Then down to Crown Bar in La Grange. OMG from 5-7. Amazing Old Fashioneds and great mixology. Saw several dogs go in though. They're fine. Saw a few leave with ToGo beverages, even one pair of ladies just leaving with their glass glasses. Just a suggestion for Ennis. Don't bend the knee to the masses. If a minor isn't behaving, eject the whole crew. For those of us whose kids are wonderful., welcome us all and make some money. Cheers.

    Fun little spot with pretty cocktails. My drink had a sprig of rosemary. Delightful! One of the locals suggested we go, so we did. I don't know the origin of the name, but it is not an actual motel (unless I missed something). The bar has several small lounging rooms and a small bar with stools. There aren't many places in the small town of 86 people, but each place uses their space well and has their own country feel. This town is a Texas gem!

    Lit at night.

    Super cool. Sit out under the stars or settle into one of the rooms for some high in drinks or bottled beer. This is a place to kick back and relax. If /when you are in Roundtop Texas put it on you "to do" list!

    You're waisting time drinking anywhere else. Best drinks in Round Top are served by Emma & Bianca.

    Very cute place... I'll give them that, but zero hospitality, and overpriced drinks for the quality of taste.

    Found a really cute spot tucked away in Round Top…read more You walk in through this green courtyard with fire pits and chairs and it kind of forces you to slow down for a second before going inside which I actually loved. Just felt calm right away. Inside is super open with really tall ceilings. There's a small bar upstairs they call a speakeasy... it's not really hidden since you can see it from downstairs, but it's still a nice little vibe. Drinks were really good too. They stay pretty busy, but service didn't miss a beat. Food came out looking good and actually tasted just as good. Always a win. Only thing is when it gets packed, it does get pretty loud, especially upstairs at the bar. So just something to keep in mind depending on the vibe you're going for. And honestly, the fire pits outside were probably my favorite part. Perfect spot to sit and hang out for a bit. If you're in Round Top, it's definitely worth checking out.

    What a beautiful and charming restaurant in Round Top!…read more First, they have plenty of parking on the side and the back, love that! When you walk in you find yourself in a combination of farm style restaurant with stunning decor and a cute boutique and general store vibe section. We got seated immediately and ordered our drinks and food. We started with an order of pines frites and bacon wrapped dates with cheese My drink was the lychee martini and it was so delicious and fresh, a little on the sweet side but for me it was perfect. My food was the palazzo pasta and added wild caught salmon, I like it. It had too much pepper for my taste but still ok. My friends ordered the chicken salad, wedge salad and salmon, scholtskys sandwich and salad with shrimp. They have a bar upstairs and a beautiful selection of wine, this is such a charming place to visit when in Round top.

    For our last day in Round Top, we stopped in at the Stone Cellar for a quick bite to eat. The venue…read moreis actually split into two places, the Stone Cellar and Jon Perez Lounge. The Stone Cellar is to the left and from there you can just order the food from the counter, whereas the lounge you will get table service. Given that this place also hosts live music, trying it out during the day when there wasn't a band (or crowds) made for an enjoyable lunch outing. I would say the menu has pub/bar fare and given that we were both craving pizza and a hamburger, we decided to order one of each to split. The staff also mentioned the Fried Gouda Bites are popular, so we opted for those as well. Let's start with the latter - the Fried Gouda bites were amazing, everything you could expect from freshly deep-fried cheese, decadent and tasty, these are a must order. For the burger, we ordered The Standard, and as the name suggests, their standard burger (I call these "diner-style") and my brother and I both agreed - this is damn near the perfect burger and the best one I've had in quite some time. It was just the perfect amalgamation meat, condiments, and sauce, with a delicious bun holding it all in together. Finally, the margarita pesto pizza was also great - crispy thin crust and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. So, don't overlook the Stone Cellar as a place to go see some live music, it has some amazingly delicious food as well. We will be back next year.

    Staying nearby for a mother daughter weekend and we chose stone cellar for our first dinner. It was…read moreonly Thursday, so there was no live music, but the place was spacious in a big cool barn type building with awesome wall decor, a huge counter where you order and lots of tables on the outside patio. Greeted with a smile and took our order, paid and got a number to take to our table. I had the fish taco special and it was cooked perfectly. We also had the cowgirl junky thin pizza which hit the spot. Each of us got the lavender ranch water which was refreshing and flavorful. Can't wait to explore more and maybe hear some music this weekend.

Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.
