    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.

    This is so much more than a "watering hole" -- it's a full‑on venue! We drove up from San Antonio…read moreto Wimberley to see what all the noise was about at Willow Lake Watering Hole & Mercantile, and wow... totally worth the trip. Ecliptic vibes -- check. Drinks on point -- check. Outdoor spaces that actually matter -- check. Music that completes the Hill Country atmosphere -- check. Customer service that makes you feel like a local -- check. Pizza truck on property (OMG) -- check. This turned into a full Hill Country adventure and honestly felt like discovering one of Wimberley's best‑kept secrets. We didn't just stop by a watering hole... we stepped into a whole venue experience. The staff was on their game from start to finish, and even though the four of us weren't locals, they treated us like we were part of the community. Head over to the food truck and thank me later -- seriously. 30 plus years in the hospitality world, hats off owners!
