    Patio 10:30 pm on Friday

    Cute and casual hang with great live music . Not packed which I loved! Great neighborhood vibe

    There are too many great places in Gruene to waste your time here.

    The service here is best described as non existent. We walked inside & waited for the bartender to acknowledge us but she was too busy talking to what appeared to be friends of hers. We walked down from Grapevine (great selection of wine & friendly bartenders) to try this place out. We thought the outdoor patio area & live music would be nice. Needless to say, we left & ended up enjoying live music at a different establishment w friendly service.

    Came to watch Jamison perform and this place is amazing!! The bartenders are so friendly but Jessica is phenomenal. Overall a great atmosphere and great people. The strawberry shiner is amazing!!!

    Formally The Vineyard, this place took its former self up a notch when they started serving real spirits! Woo hoo!! It truly is a beautiful venue and I hope it thrives. Located in gorgeous Gruene. Come inside or out on the patio, have a cold beer, glad of wine or Old Fashioned and people watch. My favorite? Wednesday nights!! Three words: Zack. Walter. Band. Take advantage of these talented musicians. They play their own music and have a little fun taking special requests as well. Great place to bring groups. I brought some staff from the school I teach at and they can't wait to come back. Oh and it is family friendly!! Let the kids run around outside and drink away(responsibly of course). 9pm is the signal for the littles to go home.

    Really nice place that seems a bit under rated to me. Has a nice patio with a spacious indoor area and a spectacular wine selection (obviously) with a full bar. Seems as though this place should have been way busier than it was for a Friday night which just means more room for you. :) I expect that this place will soon be discovered and be the hot spot to be at because the ambiance is chill, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the music when I went was excellent. If you're visiting the area and you find the wait times are ridiculously long for the better known places I'd re-route over here. Be aware that they do not serve food here but you can have it delivered so it's all good. Overall a quality spot that deserves more business for sure...definitely recommend! -McLovin

    This place is very scenic and pretty. It's not too far from Gruene Hall and had great drinks. There is an indoor room and an outdoor patio. I was there to watch a native to Texas Rockabilly band. It rained while I was there and the most beautiful double rainbow appeared. I had a good whiskey sour there and a good time.

    Old fashioned done so right.

    What a great venue. This is an easy five stars place. The live music is on point. And Colin makes *excellent* espresso martinis.

    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!

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.

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.

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!
