    Great outdoor venue with friendly staff and great drink options. Every once in a while they'll have an event like the one we are at today which is a mimosa festival and you have the option to try a variety of mimosas.

    This hidden bar has everything, refreshing drink. They have a nice cocktail menu. The price is right. I will definitely coming back.

    Tried this place on a whim. So pleasantly surprised. Service was great and bartender was knowledgeable. Great Drinks!!! Excellent Old Fashioned. Sat on the patio because weather was great. Will definitely be back. Try the food truck there too!

    Decided to stop in and try this really cool place out. I drive by it all the time, and we finally decided to give it a go. It helped that they were doing a Bloody Mary tasting that day too!! Lol We tried 4 of the 5. All very unique, but tasty! The BBQ with the Kurveball Whiskey threw a literal curveball. I was so unsure of it, but holy hell was it a different kind of awesome!! The Loaded and BBQ were awesome too! Bloody Mary's 9/10 - we tried 4 of the 5 drinks and was very impressed with them all. They had 4 distinct flavors and bases. The flavor profile on the BBQ Bloody Mary was stunning. Never had anything like it actually. Service 8/10 - everyone is very friendly and accommodating. They all did a wonderful job. Atmosphere 8/10 - one of the neat features about this place is the oak grove it sits in. Tons of shade and plenty of space. The live music was great too. Seating isn't overly plentiful though. Did I mention they usually have at least one food truck on weekends. Overall 9/10 - definitely recommend going to try this place out! They have the usual suspects such as bottle and draft beers, mimosas and Bloody Mary's and high end Whiskeys for starters.

It has a classy, tasteful speakeasy vibe without feeling overdone or pretentious. They also have a private room that would be great for a special group gathering or a more intimate celebration. The grand piano in the room adds a really elegant touch and makes the space feel even more elevated. We went on a Monday night, so it's hard to say what the normal energy is like on a busier evening, but the overall atmosphere was still very pleasant. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing I would have loved was a little more creativity or guidance with the cocktails. The space gives the impression that you're about to get a true mixologist-style experience, but the recommendations we received were pretty standard, like Old Fashioneds and martinis. We were hoping for something a little more unique or original, maybe a twist on a Sidecar or an elevated take on a classic Old Fashioned. That said, it's still a beautiful spot with great ambience, pleasant service, and a very nice overall feel. I would definitely go back, especially on a busier night to see the full vibe.

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!

Once we arrived inside we loved the homey vibe and the various seating throughout the small home. They also had games and various things for my 2 year old to keep himself occupied while waiting. They had various selections for coffee and various drink options as well. But we were there for the coffee since it was a little early. I ordered "Cowboy like Me" which was a Cold brew, double shot of espresso, oat milk, and simple syrup. I also ordered a cookie and croissant. The price was decent and the coffee was good. I am more excited to come back at a later time to try their drink options. But it was overall a decent experience.

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.
