Iconic Music Venue & Nostalgic Dive Bar…read more If you are in the mood for a cold beer and great music, then take a scenic drive out to Devil's Backbone Tavern! It first operated as a stagecoach outpost & blacksmith shop. And it famously built the Tavern in Comal County during prohibition. It wasn't until the 1950s that a dance hall pavilion was added to the property. And while the tavern wasn't made famous through country songs, it remained a popular watering hole for the locals. Today, the new owners have helped revitalize the dance hall and brought about a renewed appreciation for this musical outpost. Some of the greatest singer/songwriters come to play at Devil's so be sure to check out the list of upcoming shows. So put Todd Snider in your playlist, check your GPS, and take a drive out to Fischer for a cold beer and great music! On a more personal note, I would love to see more listening room / storytelling type shows and album signing opportunities where artists can take advantage of the great acoustics and intimate space.

In our opinion, it was the best bar food we've ever had. My wife had the Greek salad and I had the keto plate. Both were amazing. My son had the chicken strips which were also great.

The bartenders were painfully slow as one had a hard time tending to her crowd of 3 (not all of which were actively ordering). She was very messy and just touched everything while making a drink. I could see the dirty fingerprints all over her pos and it grossed me out! Bathrooms, might as well just squat in the grass youll have better luck there. As for my one $15 dollar drink. I only saw her put juice in my cup I wasn't going to say anything because idk I'm not a bar tender maybe the soda in's have advanced right? It tasted like a caprisun. Not a single thing I can say nice about this place and I've seen good dive bars. Not this one! Save your money or go down the street to happy cow!

There's a pool table, and plenty of seating, at the bar, tables, upstairs as well. Found out that they have food, which I didn't know. We got some burgers, to make sure they were good. And they were. Just good. I did love the fries, done week done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had onion rings with my burger, they were just alright. The service is good, plenty of bartenders. Super nice and helpful and patient, took me awhile to order. The bar has a mug system, not sure how it works, but they have discounts daily for mug owners. Pretty cool idea.

One of my friend's favorite bartender , Michelle, works here, and she is a great bartender. A lot of drink specials along with Texas hold'em and extreme bingo. My mother's independent living facility ( they all walk and of sound mind) goes here once a month to play bingo. They love it ! The watering hole treats them so good. Thanks to the owner for thinking about these seniors.
