The Railhouse is a bar located in Kyle, TX that is the PERFECT place to check out because it…read moredoesn't cater to just ONE specific group of customers ie: country music crowd, hip-hop crowd, sports bar crowd, ect., ect. Instead, it caters to ALL of these customers, depending on the day of the week - check out the events calendar on their website. I definitely can see why The Railhouse is popular to so many people because these are just some of the February 2025 events listed on their calendar - * Kyle Karaoke * Ladies Night w/ Lady Versus * Super-bowl Watch Party w/ DJ 2DQ & Guest DJs * Thunderstruck: America's AC/DC Tribute Band * Crawfish Boil hosted by Texas Crab Company * Trivia Tuesdays * Viva La Fiesta * Friday Night Live with Dj 2DQ (my FAVORITE night! ) The Railhouse on a Friday night is where I go when I'm in the mood to "shake what my mama gave me" (IYKYK ;) because you are GUARANTEED to have a FUN time w/ DJ 2DQ, as the dj and him playing all the favorite old school, hip-hop, & R&B music! Because "sharing is definitely caring", here are a few more helpful tidbits & reasons why The Railhouse deserves this 5-star review: --- parking situation: huge private parking lot w/ plenty of parking spaces -- no cover charge on Fridays (not sure about any other days since I've only visited on a Friday) --- reasonably priced alcohol drinks! Who doesn't love getting to sip on a budget?! (Don't forget to show some love to your bartender :) -- very clean restrooms! Very much appreciated! -- plenty of seating both indoors and outside. On chilly nights they do have outdoor heaters on the covered patio See the pics & videos included in this review of our recent visits to The Railhouse on New Year's Eve 12.31.24 & Valentine's Day 2.14.25. Till next time! Rebecca

It was a little tricky to find at first since it shares the space with other bars. For a beer garden, the selection felt a bit limited, but the drinks we had were good. There were also a couple of food trucks on site, which made it super convenient to grab a bite without leaving. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially considering how busy it was. Overall, a solid spot to hang out, catch a game or fight, and enjoy some drinks.

Nothing but 49ers jerseys and flags and the game on everywhere! Lots of covered seating, great deck, love all the decor, and all of it in great condition. The outdoor area off the deck has some areas for kids to play, but it's best for older kids. Seesaws are metal and fun, but there is no fence to keep those kiddos corralled in which I know some people look for. Parking was limited, and there were kids playing games and football in the parking lot which made me a little nervous, and they were playing with footballs that I could see hitting a car. The food trucks that night were limited, but the Mediterranean food truck was good! Nice falafel, a solid chicken shawarma salad, and hand dipped onion rings and mozzarella sticks that the kiddos definitely enjoyed. It looks like they have a burger truck too, but it was not open that night. The game volume on high, nice patrons, solid layout for the space they have, nicely maintained, friendly staff that make you feel like you've come there for years, all adds up to another great experience on Manchaca Rd!

There's an easy-going vibe here like you're just hanging out while enjoying food, cold beer, and company. We tried the taco truck and found it to be above average. The beers were icy cold, and the shade of the trees was welcome on yet another hot evening in Texas. There was live music and plenty of seating. I would recommend you give it a try if you're in the area! Cheers!

We all go through ups and downs so we wouldn't blame him over anything. We will still go back because we like the ambiance and the drinks...cheers!

Our waitress was very young, but she did an amazing job taking care of us, especially with how busy it was. She definitely deserves some recognition for keeping up with everything! The only little issue was my third drink--it wasn't quite what I had ordered. Honestly, with the place being so packed, I'm sure these things happen. Next time, I may just go to the bar myself for my drink. Overall, we had a fun night and enjoyed seeing Diamond Rio!

From Chicago, recently moved to Kyle. Stopped by Astra for dinner tonight. Here are my thoughts:…read more -The service for a casual restaurant was 5-star! Our waitress was friendly, knew her stuff, super helpful, especially for our first time. -We ordered the turkey raclette sandwich, and it was a gem! The kind of sammy where everything works together, delicious! -We ordered the pepperoni basil and the merguez goat pizzas. -The merguez was very spicy. (Pro tip: We asked for a side of ranch--much better!) -The pepperoni was peppery. I enjoyed the greasyness (is that a word?) of it. -The highlight was the sourdough crust. It's cooked in a brick oven (see pics). Nice char on bottom : ) -A note about ambiance--very pleasant! Fun to hear the "Toot! Toot!" of the train, as it went by. We sat outside on the patio, bugs were pesky, but I really enjoyed the 80's music in the background : ) -Everything is locally sourced. Highly recommended.

I grew up in the area and will always stop in. However, they just hired a judgmental, rude, and all around ***** bartender named Sophia. I don't know what this girls problem is but unless you are tipping her well and a man you don't mean shit and will wait forever to get served, if you get asked at all what you want for a drink or dinner. I will be walking out if she is working from now on!

My friend and I were looking for a place to have a late bite. After browsing Yelp, we came across…read moreBackspin and decided to give them a try. We sat at the bar. Taylor was our bartender and she was nice. She informed us that they have a limited late night menu which was fine with us. My friend ordered a cheese pizza and we split an order of the chips and salsa. The food was fine for what it was. During the day, they have more options like burgers, sandwiches, salads, and pizza. We also had cocktails. My friend had the Grapefruit 'Tini while I had the Pomegranate Lemon Drop Martini. We both enjoyed our drinks. I like flavored lemon drop martinis, and I'm not sure that I've ever had a pomegranate lemon drop before this visit. The bar is moderate in size, but they do have a patio area. It was very chill during our visit, but I imagine it gets more lively during big games.
