Wow...I can't believe I've never reviewed the Grove before. I scoured my many pending drafts and don't have one. Anyway, it's been close to ten years (if not more) since I first visited the Grove and it's always been a good time! Large, open-air patio with tons of tables, an outdoor stage, bar, brat food truck, shops and others bars also located on property. Everyone is so super-friendly. It's one of the best places to just relax while live musicians perform. Real chill, laid-back, welcoming, all that you expect from Gruene. read more

Fun outdoor venue with a variety of musical acts. Everything is self-serve. You can sit on a bench, a planter, by a fire pit, at a table. The crowd and the ambiance are casual and entertaining. Go on a Sunday afternoon and have some fun! read more

What a find! Fantastic set up, Chris and his staff made for a fantastic time! Our large group of 10+ ranged from 14 to 75, family friendly entertainment and everyone had fun. Great singers, service was awesome, even ice cream for the kids. No doubt we will be back!! read more

Gruene Grove - Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

I still love this place and we go every time we're in Gruene. Such a great vibe! The music is the best and the service is great.

I love this place! Everyone that works there are awesome! I enjoy performing my poetry and sharing stories on and off stage. The strength comes from the top, you know the trickle down effect. For example, today after my performance I sashayed over to the wurst food truck to pick up my food and I was great with a smile from the owner elbow deep in fry's dogs and in the pit! Rarely do I see owners jump in to help the team in the trenches... I reckon I recommend this joint! read more

Love coming here and supporting live music. The staff are always friendly and there's a good assortment of drinks.

Great little spot and the food was fantastic for a food truck. The frozen margarita was on point. I had the bartender add some jalapeños and it hit the spot. We had the brat and the bbq nachos. We will definitely be back! This place is outside and they are more of a bar/hangout spot at night. Good spot for a quick affordable lunch! read more

Gruene Grove - American brat, bbq nachos, frozen spicy margarita with tajin, and an ipa beer. - Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Employees are super rude and judgmental towards customers. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE!! Bartender and old man walking around were especially rude to our party would never come again read more

A friend and I recently decided to meet at Gruene Grove as it was close to being the halfway point between us (Austin and San Antonio). When I arrived (6PM on a Friday), it was a bit difficult to find parking at first as they only have a small lot, but I was able to find a spot in the Gruene Grill lot next to it within 5 minutes. The venue itself was already pretty crowded but that made it even more fun- everyone was socializing and having a good time. Seating is limited, but if you wait just a bit - you can snag a table. I liked the open air patio and the way everything was laid out- such a cute place. The young lady checking IDs at the front and all of the bartenders were extremely friendly and happy to help with whatever you needed. I ordered a Deep Eddy Lime Vodka w/ Club Soda and my friend ordered a Dos Equis - we got them quickly and they were great (as to be expected). Live music began around 7PM and was good as well. The music was a bit loud so it was hard to talk to my friend but we enjoyed being there regardless. We will definitely be back! read more

These sorry scammers. Let you get a seat OUTSIDE the bar, you go over and get food (on the SAME PEOPERTY) then the bastards tell you "we don't allow eating here. We haven't put up the signs yet"!! Never again. Too high brow for me. read more

Food-Wurst Food truck. Their queso and chips were great. But this isn't the bar to come and find the best bites. Bring something to eat. Music-5 stars for always having great live music with a few different genres. Generally these places play American but they had a great band playing songs from the 50's and 60's! Bar-Bar in the grove area is fine. Drinks are fine. Bar down in the basement is cool. Drinks are a little over priced. Service-Bartenders have always been good. Restrooms outside are HORRIBLE. The ladies room outside has two restrooms with signs that say NOT to flush toilet tissue down the pipes because they have old pipes. So there is a trash can next to the toilet with poopy tissue. Thus very stinky! Went to wash my hands and there was stagnant water in the sink. It was only noon and there were no paper towels. Husband said men's RR was very unkempt. There are also lots of kids here. They run around and play in the fountain and drink the water. It's crazy. read more

One of our favorite places to go . Outdoors, great music. . The San Antonio Blues society holds its jam here. Dog friendly ( a big plus) water bowls available for your pup. Reasonable drinks . Great food truck on site. Friendly people. Gotta try it when you're visiting Gruene read more

Gruene Grove - Great place just wish they'd learn how to dispay their Texas flag the right way - Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

What a fun spot! They only sell beer wine and seltzers but that was fine with us. The live band was great and Nate was the best! He was such a nice bartender and helped us decide our next bar for the night when they closed down. They had big coolers of free ice water and the bathrooms were clean. We had a really fun time, there's a huge outdoor area too I believe, I would go back! read more

The Grove is a wonderful venue that during the day it's just hidden enough to avoid the crowds. In the evening it's a different story. During the day there is plenty of space if you are social distancing. There is plenty of shade under the pecan trees and fans to help you beat the heat. Their bloodies can't be beat and there are a few interesting taps for us craft beer drinkers. They do have a full bar with some drink specials. They do have a music stage and there is live music later in the day and in the evenings on the weekends. Hangry? There is a bratwurst food truck on premises. There is also a basement speakeasy, but I'm not sure if it has reopened. read more

Great staff. Great service. Great food. Couldn't be more pleased every time we go. The music is always great. CB and Chris the owner are great. read more

Great music, Great cocktails - we love the bartenders. Love the outdoor seating !! We bring our grandbabies to run around during the week .

After a show at the Gruene Hall, we wandered around town and stopped by the Gruene Grove. The Grove has indoor and outdoor options for eating and drinking or just relaxing. We opted to head to cellar for the speakeasy. It was a nice place to cool off on a humid evening and enjoy some craft cocktails. Drinks were good with a generous pour although not inexpensive by any means. The atmosphere is fun and there was a guitar performer just leaving as we came in so you can catch live music in the speakeasy apparently. Recommended. read more

We went to Gruene Grove because we read that they had a good happy hour. Unfortunately, we found out they DO NOT have happy hour, and the drinks were expensive and not that great. The food truck had good brats/sausages. I had the Italian with peppers & onions and enjoyed it. The pretzel bun was very good. We also shared chili cheese fries - which were also good. It was nice to sit outside on a beautiful afternoon, but the tables were small & shaky and the chairs uncomfortable. read more

If you're looking for a relaxing place to listen to live music, this is the place. It is an outdoor venue so be prepared for the weather. When it is cooler out, they have fires going so it's not a problem. They don't serve food but there is a food truck that has items available. I haven't tried that yet so can't review the food. The bar is well stocked, but they do not have table service so you do need to go to the bar for drinks. A great spot in Gruene TX. read more

The Gruene Grove is a lovely outdoor bar that is next door to the Gristmill. I ordered a Bloody Mary with Tajin on the rim and it was delicious. My only concern is that I wish they had bigger tables. read more

Let's just say that you are not going for the food. It was a Monday nite - 2 for 1 sliders, but the truck only had one set of sliders. Music and drinks were great - looked like people were having fun playing corn hole. read more

Is it really a speakeasy with two neon signs that say "Speakeasy"? In this case, yes! Sure, it's dim and furnished with remnants from a 1920s movie prop sale, but it's the bartender and little bar that make it a speakeasy On my first visit I ordered a sazerac that was prepared with the kind of artful dedication that only someone who appreciates the product and process can create. The live bands have been simple and delightful, creating an atmosphere of friends singing their favorite songs together. This is a friendly and easy place to relax. This isn't my fist visit and it won't be my last! read more

Gruene Grove - The band takes a break... - Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Gruene Grove is awesome. This is my first time that I've been there and I'm so excited that we went! We got to downtown grand on a beautiful Saturday afternoon after a really cold few days in Texas, which we all know doesn't fly with us! They had a really cool live girl that was playing guitar they had great outdoor seating for standing and sitting. They also had a fire pit that you could sit close to the fire if it got cold. The bartenders are absolutely great they made really awesome drinks and you didn't have to wait in line too long to get to the bartender. I would definitely come back and visit this beautiful little piece of heaven right in the middle of what seems like nowhere! read more

Gruene Grove - Group outing at Gruene Grove - Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

This is a beer garden! Great vibes but limited selection of beers. In the historic Gruber district- fun neighborhood sights! Love the airstream food truck with apps and wurst. Stage and music at times, but we were there on a Spring weekday and just enjoyed the suds and shade. read more

What a great, great place. Perfect for meeting up after work or a date night. Live music under the trees is hard to beat.

Fun way to spend a Sunday, even during winter. Warm. Friendly people. Great drinks and live music! read more

Margarita was decent and I loved the band - Ace Pepper Band. It was also a beautiful night to sit outside - but I couldn't find a seat. It was a little busy, but they have a huge courtyard, two bar setups, plenty of shade, but they have hardly any seats. A couple of rickety half picnic tables some tall tables and barrels to stand, and a smattering of crooked old weathered chairs. It looks the regulars know to bring their own chair. read more

They have the best margaritas I've ever had in my life. I keep going back to try and figure out how to get the secret recipe like plankton

It's a great outdoor location with live music, friendly staff, and great food. The cold beverages kept us cool all through the evening.

They have a very cool Speak Easy bar down stairs, live song writers open mic night on Tuesdays. Good selection of of whiskeys. Didn't have to fight crowds. Nice place. read more

This is a nice outdoor venue and the only reason I'm not scoring higher is that it serves the absolute worst frozen margarita in town. They are so tangy that my wife and I ended up dumping them out and for $12 each that wasn't cool. Everything else was great though. read more

Can't say enough positive about our experience. Great bratwurst and a full bar with a nice beer selection. read more
