1st Timer. My wife, some friends, and I decided on a whim to visit Luckenbach. It was an immensely pleasant experience. I really had no idea what to expect but it turned into a small piece of Texas locked in time to a wonderful rustic place the oozed hill country and rustic charm. Beers were $6 a piece which was a bit of a drag but everything else was pretty in line with what you would expect. When I went their were two food trucks and Luckenbach's own kitchen where you could purchase food to eat. We tried Luckenbach's kitchen and the food was awesome. I had an excellent hamburger called "the tex" and my wife had a jalapeno cheese sausage taco. We both shared some loaded fries. Our food was ridiculously good. All day they had pretty decent live music. The lone child we had with us enjoyed the outdoor games available. There was literally something for everyone and I would highly recommend checking this off your bucket list. read more

Luckenbach is a must-see destination for a unique musical experience in the Texas Hill Country! As you enter the "town loop" with the continual population of 3, you have your pick of visiting the wooden dance hall, outdoor stage, general store, post office, or watering hole. "These days Luckenbach Texas is, to paraphrase John Steinbeck, a "State of Mind" - A Texas state of mind, where you can kick back, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life--like a step back in time." You can purchase tickets online or head over to the ticket booth if it isn't a sold out show. The monthly lineup usually includes your favorite local artists & in demand bands, special events, festivals & free shows! Even though Waylon & Willie's Luckenbach Texas wasn't actually based on the dance hall, their iconic lyrics did help make it famous. So turn up the volume and get Back to the Basics of Love as you make the trip out to see a show! You can even arrange a Willie Nelson tour to learn about the historic property If you really do love the Lone Star State, you might want to consider having your wedding or anniversary celebration at Luckenbach! read more

If you are into or were into the outlaw country music scene then luckenbach has to be on your bucket list. We have been several times. Never when anything big was going on as I just didn't see the room for tht there is the post office and general store with a stage area and fire pits with tables behind it there is also the dance hall. If those walls could talk there is a large field/grassy area which I assume is used for camping. Only one main road in and outdo it can get crowded. They do not have a direction sign on the main road as it was always getting stolen. The bust of Hondo Crouch outside the post office shows the man who started it all. Definitely worth the extra driving to see this place. read more

We absolutely loved this stop on our journey around Texas. I read online that they have music at 1pm in the afternoon in addition to the evening. We really enjoyed the music and the overall setting. The staff in the general store were fantastic. Very informative about the town and the owner. We had lunch and found the food to be excellent. We were really surprised at how good the food was and how incredibly nice the servers were. Definitely worth stopping and enjoying!! read more

So this is being written from our visit Thanksgiving of 2023. Not sure why i didn't write this sooner but here it is. I've lived in Texas my whole life, and can sing Luchenbach Texas by memory - but no one wants to hear that. I've never been. I know, a sin. But I got there. My wife and I were in Fredricksburg for Thanksgiving '23. The day after, we drove out to Luchenbach. I love it. Hung at at the bar and drank some cold Lone Star longnecks. Did a little shopping. Sadly no live music that day and we couldn't stay later. There's a lot to do. And look forward to our next trip back. read more

How could I not write a review for the place I got married ?!! The first time I came to Luckenbach over 8 years ago my very first thought was that it would make the perfect wedding venue- and I was right! The photos we got getting married under the beautiful oak tree outside are remarkable. Kat really helped make sure the local wine we wanted at the wedding got ordered. My only complaint would be that the bar that's supposed to be connected to the dance hall still wasn't finished. I don't even think it's finished now. Everything else about having Luckenbach as a wedding venue was awesome. Amazing photo ops, great private dance hall and an affordable venue! read more

Very friendly, expect to feel welcomed. You are a critical part of the atmosphere in a place where " Everybody is somebody in Luckenbach ". You don't have to be there for the music, you don't have to drink, you don't have to spend money, you and your family (dogs on leashes are good to go anywhere you go). Enjoy the day. read more

Luckenbach Texas is incredibly small but is a place you have to stop at at least once if you're a Texan. Not only is it named in one of Waylon Jennings's song, but its a fun place to hang out and enjoy some beer/live music with friends. My friend and I decided to venture to Luckenbach after spending the day in Fredericksburg as it was only about 15 minutes away. The entire "town" was comprised of a dance hall, small store, outdoor music area and a small bar. We were able to explore each of the pieces relatively quickly and then decided to go listen to music. We grabbed beer (lone star) and wine (becker vineyards) from the bar and then grabbed a seat to listen to @The Merles who were performing. The beer and wine were both bottled (no draught options) so we chose the local options. I would have a lone star beer again but wouldn't suggest the wine from Becker Vineyards. Everyone here was friendly and it's a place I'll stop by again! read more

Call up Waylon Jennings on Spotify as you cruise on into Luckenbach. Third visit here... each time during the Pickers Circle. Last two were Jimmy Lee Jones, this time Peter Tory. Was glad to hear from the bartender that Jimmy Lee still shows up from time to time. Is it a tourist trap? Yea. Kinda. But only one that a special type of tourist would appreciate. They've not yet gotten as commercialized as say The Salt Lick in Driftwood (remember when a visit there was legendary?) and hopefully they never will. If you're entertaining visitors from out of Texas there are a few spots they need to go to including the Fort Worth Stockyards and Luckenbach. It's a fun experience. read more

I was researching Texas on the atlas and said to the spouse, we need to stop here if we have time. I researched and knew it was a touristy souvenir shop/stop. I absolutely love the Waylon Jennings Luckenbach Texas song. Back when country music was real. I even you tubed the song on the way here from San Antonio to Fredricksburg. Spouse sat outside while I went in 2 souvenir stores. Didn't find anything at the post office store. Went in other store and found 2 shirts Clearanced at 35% off. A t-shirt and button down camo shirt. I also got another long sleeve t shirt, sticker and small metal sign. Sadly, there was no music playing outside while I was shopping. We don't drink, but beer was for sale inside. If you love the song Luckenbach Texas, then this is a must stop for souvenirs or stuff you can't live without. Review 55 in 2023. read more

This little community is worth a stop if you're anywhere close just to say you've been there. Some big acts play here on occasion but one can stop here anytime for a distraction. I came here on a Wednesday afternoon. Abundant parking. Walked through two cute little shops (including all the "all I got was a lousy T-Shirt" options) and a rustic but apparently well-appointed bar (no outside beverages allowed). Also: big clean bathrooms. The best part was at 1:30 in the afternoon, I enjoyed LIVE music--a guitar-violin duo. The violinist was 75 if he was a day, and he was great! Plenty of casual picnic table seating. read more

If you're heading to/from Fredericksburg, I highly recommend making a quick stop in Luckenbach. You can stay for a little while, if you want, or you can be in/out. There's not much here -- two souvenir shops, a bar, a food truck, and live music. They seem to have some sort of live music act happening everyday. Check out their online calendar to see the acts/times: https://www.luckenbachtexas.com/calendar. It's a really pleasant stop to grab a cold drink, listen to some mellow tunes, and pick up a souvenir or two. read more

This is the second time I have brought this to the attention of the ticket staff. All abledl bodies with no physical disabilities. I personally am disabled myself. The individual in front of me a disabled vet was forced to park far out due to the lack of handicap spaces. Is it really that hard to provide enough spaces for those with disabilities. You have an entire parking lot (field). If the county actually forced you to mark out the field you would be way under the required spaces. We love Luckenbach but is it really that hard to leave the entire front two rows for disabled veterans and the handicap. read more

While a concert in Luckenbach would be the ultimate experience, a visit in the early morning - I went at 9 am on a drizzly weekday - is a peaceful experience.

The gift shop had nice items and the little museum was very interesting. read more

Visiting Luckenbach, Texas and enjoying live outdoor music IS A MUST, if you're on the hunt for a fun & safe activity to do for both adults, children, and even your fur babies! :)) On 08/07/2020, my hubby & I visited Luckenbach to celebrate my hubby's 40th birthday & even though we had visited pre-pandemic, this was the 1st time visiting during the pandemic and I have to say, it was AWESOME getting to enjoy live outdoor music, while munching on some yummy food, and sippin' on an adult beverage that made me feel just a little bit prettier ;)), and just for a little while, I forgot all about the pandemic craziness! Since sharing is caring :) I just wanted to give you the 411 for those of you you've never visited Luckenbach before or if it's been awhile since you've visited. The 411: -Great scenic motorcycle ride to Luckenbach, TX. For all the motorcycle riders (or motorcycle babes, like myself ;) the trip to Luckenbach is a great scenic route filled w/ country roads, lots of wildlife (keep any eye out for the deer), fresh air, & the Texas sunset that makes the sky look like it's on fire!! -Luckenbach itself has an old dancehall, General store, a few food and alcohol vendors (no byob), an outdoor music stage, outdoor picnic tables setup all around (you can also bring your own portable chairs), a kissing booth :)) and other IG or FB photo worthy signs & memorabilia to strike a pose in front of. :) There are also plenty of clean restrooms on-site. Make sure to check out the Luckenbach website to see the lineup of the music performances scheduled each day & FYI, the food vendor only accepted cash. I really appreciate the COVID precautions in place: each of the tables are 6 ft apart, a bigger music stage was built so that you are able to enjoy the live music no matter where you are seated at, masks are required to be worn if you are in line to buy food, drink, or in line to use the restroom, and also need to be worn if you are sitting at a table w/ people not in your household. Hand sanitizers are conveniently located. There was also a limit of how many people went into the general store at one time. We went on a Friday night and there was plenty of tables so we didn't have to sit w/ anyone else & there was never a wait to use the restrooms. The lines to get your food & drink always went fast so the wait time was not long at all. There were a few people who had their kids & fur babies w/ them so it's safe to say it's a kid-friendly & pet-friendly venue. There are also 6 cabins that can be rented that are located on the same property, across the creek from the Luckenbach music stage. To sum it up...it's been waaaaaay tooooooo loooong that I've felt so peaceful, relaxed, and just carefree! Visiting Luckenbach was just the thing I needed. I sure do miss living in a pandemic-free world!!!!! :(((( Any-who, hope this info is helpful to you! :)) -Rebecca out read more

One of the best places in Texas to enjoy acoustic music and cold longnecks at a shady outdoor table. True, the old post office has been turned into a pricey gift shop, and you'll see tourists from other states and countries looking for that quintessential Texas experience. Even so, Luckenbach manages to retain its quirky charm. In colder weather a wood-burning stove makes the main bar a nice place to hang out, and the dance hall is a fantastic place to catch a concert. My favorite experience is the free "picker circle" informal acoustic concerts, where musicians sing and strum their guitars outside the main bar. Food wise, there's a snack bar with funnel cakes and other fair-style food - occasionally supplemented by food trucks. Make sure to check the event calendar before you go, as some events require tickets and may be sold out. read more

Went for a quick drink and to finally listen to some Live Music. It was not the Singer that was advertised but the duo did a good job to entertain us. The server was named Hanna and she was very cute and knew her job. This is a great place to hang out on a cool Day Wait wait we were at the wrong place. My wife noticed the pictures did not match and found out the real concert location was about 15 minutes away. We took the drive and found the best place by far. We loved how cool the area is in the middle of nowhere. Singer Clayton Gardner was good not the best we have heard but the surroundings more than made up for it. If we lived closer we would be here every weekend. read more

Luckenbach is a MUST if you are looking to get out of the city for a few hours, or if you are on your way to Fredricksburg. There is so much history surrounding this little town, but I'll let you discover that for yourself. Raine, or shine Luckenbach is always open to the public and live music is always playing. They also have a bigger venue where they host country music concerts on the weekends. During your visit, make sure to take some time to write a post card and send it from their store/postal office. If you are hungry, they have their own little food stand (not my favorite) but if you are lucky they sometimes have a Texas bbq food truck in the parking area. When you come here just remember that "out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain." read more

if visiting Fredricksburg you must drive to Luckenbach at least once. We lucked out and saw Johnny Lee. Cover was $25 each. Beer is a better choice over wine. Open air but not too bad in September. It is Just one of those cool, historic places that should be on your list. read more
