Highly recommend Leanderthal Distilling!

It doesn't happen super often but she says maybe once every month or every other month or so. Saw people with some food they brought in, and they also had a corner with some board games. The drinks were delish! And very decently priced. Bartender was nice. Only met bar tenders wife, wasn't overly friendly, but good bc customer service. Did see owner, but didn't meet him personally. My husband also really enjoyed himself. Definitely can see us returning here!

It's delightful how they've grown. Flannigans is clearly a labor of love (for alcohol, architecture, food and Texas history) and the joy of experimentation. Food is great, wine is great, spirits are exceptional. The Texas American Gothic (TAG) is a completely unique experience that needs to spread. TX liquor distributors need to jump on this yesterday. Catch Kevin (one of the owners) at the right time and you just might find yourself in a trivia battle!

We asked about the name, and Andalusia was actually the name of the sheep farm they used to occupy the property. They just decided to keep the name!

Had the Cats Meow and it was wonderful. The chef on site created this gin and you can really taste the time and effort that went into this product! They had live music and plenty of seating inside and outside. We hope to go back in October and take advantage of their brunch.

I visited this spot to check it out, and it didn't disappoint. Located in the countryside of…read morecentral Texas and surrounded by farmland, the natural setting gives the place a cozy, homey feel. The owners, a friendly husband-and-wife team, are wonderful to meet and greet you with a warm welcome. The whiskey experience here is pure Texas style, with a fantastic selection of house-made options. You can't go wrong trying any of their offerings. They also provide samples if you want to explore their variety before committing. The menu features classic bar food, including hamburgers and pizza--simple but satisfying. While I was there, they didn't have live entertainment, but they do regularly advertise performances on their Facebook page. In fact, they mentioned there would be live entertainment later that evening at 6 p.m., which was a bit of a disappointment since I couldn't stay. Their food is all made in house and very delicious!! I had the Texas Ranch Style burger with fries. The burger was very flavorful and I am glad I added jalapeños. In addition to whiskey, they also brew their own beer, which I didn't get a chance to try but will definitely check out on my next visit. They even offer tours upon request, depending on availability, which adds another layer of fun to the experience. They also sell meat products here. You can either buy from the freezer inside or by the box. Prices are listed on the menu. If you're looking for a great place to unwind with a drink and enjoy a laid-back atmosphere, this spot is worth a visit!

The hints of sweet & spice hit just right! This is a small batch distillery and in addition to whiskey they also make rum, gin, and vodka. The distillery sits on 15 acres so there's ample space for large groups. Like most places of its type in hill country, they've got food trucks, live music, play areas for kids and they're dog-friendly. They've even got a bocce ball setup as well as other games of that sort. The tasting room is modern rustic, farmhouse-country chic and it's also pretty spacious. The craft cocktails are out of this world. My favorite is the espresso martini made with Hotscotch. Seriously one of the best drinks ever. My boyfriend really loved the old fashioned. It's made with Hotscotch & bourbon. Super nice folks working at Iron Wolf. So knowledgeable and seemingly love to be there. Vibes like nobody's business.

It's definitely a destination, in the sense that you're not going to just stumble across it on your next walk. I happen to love this vibe. The crowd skews a bit older, despite the fact that cocktails range from $8 - 10. When I went, it was chill, and a big country band was out jamming on the gazebo. There's also a smaller stage indoors. They brew/distill everything on sight and I've been told there are sporadic tours, which I really want in on. Hopefully those start up again soon! I know I'll be back for a bottle of whiskey, regardless.

They have 2 rooms with a lot of seating, and an outdoor stage where the band was performing. I really enjoyed the band, and they drew a good sized crowd. I enjoyed my drinks. I forgot to take a picture of the last one, the Mango Volcano, made with chipotle rum, and it was my favorite. The drinks are well made and reasonably priced which I loved. Everyone at the bar was very friendly. I do wish there had been a little more outdoor seating, but it looked like they were repairing some of their picnic tables. The location and band made for a fun Friday night. Link to the band's website: http://www.bookthecovers.com

We sat outside under the wooden canapy patio. A cool breeze permeated throughout the patio. The wind was gently blowing and branches on the oak trees swayed back and forth. So peaceful...there were a number of family and friends groups chatting it up. My friend ordered a pizza and I got hamburger and fries. We were pleased with our meals. It was self-pickup. There is a pick-up window in the center of the building. No table service. Although it is a distillery, the standout is the family orientation and focus on connection. The back yard is huge with yard games. There were about 20 children playing in the yard.

My favorite was the Old Fashion Cocktail and the Texas Bourbon Whiskey. We went into the Bottle Shop & Mercantile building which has a tasting bar with tables & chairs, and a sitting area with a big screen tv. They have lots of outdoor seating area to enjoy with live entertainment. Pet friendly. You can also do a tour of the distillery which we did not get to do, but will go back soon to do it. They also sell those beautiful whiskey barrels at a great price. Definitely recommend this great place to hang out with friends, enjoy some good whiskey with a fun atmosphere.
