    This speakeasy is located in the basement of a 120-year old building in Gruene Grove (Gruene,…read moreTexas). Our mixologist, Logan (absolutely wonderful human being) not only made us the most delicious pecan praline whiskey cocktail but he also gave use some incredible history on the space & of course the ghosts! The limestone walls are original. Much of the decor adorning the walls was found in the building. Some of the wall hangings include an original bond and doctor prescriptions for whiskey. The furnishings and accessories complement the rooms to enhance the feeling of old-west prohibition. The velvet pieces exemplify burlesque. Total "hitch your horse to a post, mosey on down for a secret drink and a good time" vibes. Logan spun a tale of ghosts appearing in selfies taken by previous guests. The story was sensational and I was all about it. A wonky thing happened with the POS system while we were there that required a reboot. I joked that the ghosts thought I was taking too many pictures. Dark, moody, sexy, and relaxing...everything you want in a speakeasy---& good drinks too, of course. Absolute works of liquid art!

    Located in the basement of what used to be the home of Henry Gruene's cotton workers, I believe…read more Head out back, behind traveling Gypsies store, at the Gruene Grove area. We came on a weekday therefore it wasn't busy at all. The bartender was very friendly. Cocktails were great. The small room we took did have some plush red velvet seats and leather sofas as they try to set the mood of the 1920's prohibition era. The other room felt weird with the restroom washing station being next to the seating.

Tucked into Gruene, it delivers a…read morecocktail experience that honestly rivals (and outshines) a lot of what i get back home in Austin. The drinks are the star here. Creative without being overdone, and clearly built with intention. I went for the Old Fashioned flight, which featured bourbon, rye, mezcal, and rum variations (they let me tailor it to my spirit interests) each one distinct, balanced, and actually worth slowing down to compare. It's not just a gimmick; it's a thoughtful way to showcase how versatile a single cocktail can be. Service matched the quality of the drinks as they were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without feeling forced. You can tell they care about what they're serving. The vibe is what really seals it. Lively but not chaotic, polished but still relaxed. It feels like a place you can settle into, whether you're starting the night or lingering for one more round. Didn't expect to find one of the better cocktail bars in the area out here, but this one absolutely delivers...and then some.

    Gruene's Last Call is such a unique spot! The vibe is dim, cozy, and totally gives off speakeasy…read moreenergy. Every drink is handcrafted by the bartenders, and you can tell -- they're incredibly well-made, creative, and definitely stronger than what you'll get at most places. If you're looking for something different, elevated, and delicious, this place is absolutely worth checking out!

    Maybe we expected more after reading the reviews but unfortunately we were not impressed. Made…read morereservations by walking up the night before. Even had a drink upstairs. The gentleman was friendly and made us think we reserved a certain table. When we arrived for dinner it was a completely different experience. We were originally sat in the corner upstairs at what was more of a coffee table type sitting area. We asked to move to a an actual table, which they were fine with. Took about 15 minutes to get a server probably because they sat us upstairs with ample tables downstairs but once she knew we were up there and others got seated the service was good. 2 of our people got the mashed potatoes and both thought they were instant mashed potatoes. The chicken breast was rubbery and seems as it was frozen. The Espresso martini was pretty good and so was the seared Tuna. Probably a one and done for us. Maybe just for drinks and music on the rooftop.

We came to Cowboys & Cadillacs as it seemed like a cool place to go. They have dinning inside. But outside roof top there is a huge stage, and big fire pit. The second level is more seating and a bar. A lot of people were out. A couple "brides to be" with their party were out too. The band was good. Ordered a blueberry mojito. Very nice. Also ordered their flat bread pizza. Loved the bbq sauce that was on it. And picked jalapeños. Great night over all.

    We were in New Braunfels for Father's Day. This amazing Tiki bar was the highlight of the day. It…read moreis in the basement of the Phoenix Saloon. You go way to the back and down a steep flight of stairs. My son, his wife, and I left my wife and grandbaby in the saloon and headed down. When you get down there, you are suddenly in a beautiful Tiki bar with so many amazing things to gawk at. It sort of felt like waking up in OZ. We were the first people there, so we got to sit at the bar and watch our drinks being made. They have about 15 or so different specialty tiki drinks. Each one comes in a particular piece of glassware. I don't know how the bartender keeps them straight. He was constantly pouring different things into a shaker. Then he would shake it and pour it into the glass that was already filled with crushed ice. One of the drinks even had a smoking cinnamon stick. My drink was really good. It was the Three Dots and a Dash. It came in a barrel and was decorated with a skull toothpick that had three cherries and a piece of pineapple to represent the dots and dash. It was super strong! I was ready to risk it all and go for another drink, but it had gotten packed inside the bar. We could tell the bartender was stressing. They really need two for times like that. My wife spends the night at my son's house in New Braunfels every Thursday to give them a date night. Evidently, this is where they always go. I can certainly see why!

This is not a place to have a quick drink, as the bartenders really craft the art of the cocktail you order (expect 15-20 min for 2 drinks). I would love to come back and try more!
