    Love this place! They have beer and daiquiris on tap. They also have lots of canned and bottled beer, non alcoholic slushees and pints of ice cream. You can mix and match daiquiri flavors too! Picnic area and restrooms out back.

    DAIQUIRI FLOVOR CHANGE CONSTANTLY. Check out their Facebook to see what flavors are available.

    Best place to beat the heat! Where do I even begin? The daiquiris are always cold & refreshing , the slush pups are perfect for the kiddos after playing on the playground or running around playing tag. There's live music almost every weekend (we only just started going 2 months ago so I can't speak for the non spring/summer months) food trucks are usually serving up good food on the weekends. Restrooms are outside but have air conditioning!! Management is awesome! I'm not sure if he was the owner or manager but he saw my son accidentally drop his slush pup and got him a new one free of charge! The employees are always kind & knowledgeable of the beverages. My only complaint is that the playground area is a bit small especially when there are 10-15 kids trying to play on it, maybe a few more swings would be nice, and the Jell-O shots are strong we had trouble getting them down but if you don't mind the taste of liquor they aren't that bad lol Follow them on Facebook to see their live music schedule and to see their awesome sales like a 32oz Daiquiri for $10 or $1 Jell-O shots and specialty drinks on holidays!

    My St. Patty Day margaritas!

    Big fan of this place. Only down side is one worker. No names so as not to spoil anyone's experience.

    I love that they have an outdoor area so you can park and hang out at the park tables and benches and the selection of beverages and frozen drinks is on point.

    Arriving for our annual holiday dinner, Liberty Hill Beer Market was initially very accommodating…read morein seating our party of 13. Our waitress was attentive and organized, taking everyone's order carefully and efficiently. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill due to a clear lack of communication in the kitchen. Multiple times throughout the evening, one or two plates were brought to our table by different servers asking if anyone had ordered them. In each case, the food either belonged to another table or wasn't what anyone in our party had ordered. Two members of our group didn't receive their hamburgers until after everyone else had finished eating and plates were already being cleared. Our waitress returned to the table several times to apologize and explained that there were only two people working in the kitchen and that they were short-staffed, as they hadn't expected the restaurant to be so busy on a Monday night. While we appreciated her efforts and professionalism, it was disappointing to see the owner standing near the kitchen throughout the evening and never once coming to our table to acknowledge or apologize for the situation. Although the two extremely late meals were removed from the bill, most of us received our food at least 10 minutes apart, making it difficult to enjoy the meal together. Things have changed since the new ownership--some for the better--but the service this evening left a lot to be desired. After five years of celebrating together at LHBM, this visit was unfortunately not memorable in a good way. The experience was bad enough that it doesn't make us eager to return.

    Came here after attempting to go to dahlias but it was closed…read more Not disappointed at all! So yummy! The lemon drop martini was on point. My friend and I shared a pizza and it was delish! We enjoyed spending the evening playing songs on the jukebox while having a few drinks and pizza. I would def make the drive out again. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I asked her what food she would recommend and had to order it. oh my gosh it was so good haha. My friend literally said out loud, "oh my gosh this is so freaking good"

    Horrible! Advertisement on website sounded great from the option I wanted; ordered and perhaps…read moresomething should have been an indication of what was to come. I was asked to reverify my purchase information, then the follow up email claimed 3-5 business days. Almost two weeks later, I was suppose to have received my purchase; it didn't happen. The original follow up email said the ordered was messed up by one of their "warehouse employees" and I had two options: 1) resend the items purchased 2) issue full refund Before I could respond, they sent me another email saying the package was damaged upon delivery, and will issue me a refund with 3-5 business days. That did not happened. Since the fiasco, I have emailed and called multiple times without any response! Huge disappointment from Texas!!!

    AB Liqour #1 Leander TX Online Order…read more - This is a deliberate and calculated SCAM. The company provides order and tracking information, but then ships a package to a completely different address so it falsely appears as "delivered." This tactic is designed to eliminate your ability to dispute the charge--leaving you without proof, without the product, and without a refund. The result: no product, no accountability, and no recourse through your credit card company. This is not a mistake--it is fraud. A coordinated scheme to deceive customers and steal their money. Do not order from this company. They are operating as thieves.

    One stop shopping for primo eating and drinking good times…read more * * * Obsidian Brewery makes beer. I have no idea how the beer is. I may visit Obsidian Brewery time after time after time after time and never find out how their beer is. This is because a) They have an outstanding bar and b) They have an outstanding kitchen. For me, beer is a hardship beverage you drink when there is nothing else better available. When I go to a bar, I can sometimes be looking for mix-mastering. Usually I am looking for outstanding top of the line hard spirits. * * * When I walked into Obsidian, I looked at their bar. It was love at first sight. In front of me were twenty yards of three shelves of the most wonderful bottles I could possibly imagine. Half of them I had never heard of before. * * * I settled on a Buddha's Hand Gin. Buddha and Gin rarely appear in the same sentence Never mind the same label on a bottle. I ordered it straight up. I went immediately to Nirvana. Forget the meditation and the austerities. The Buddha's Hand Gin was as good as a trip to the Himalayas. Buddha's Hand is an obscure citrus fruit that grows multiple protuberances the way some horseradishes do. It is golden and looks like a hand. Ergo the name. The Buddha's Hand Gin is a citrus tinged gin with an edge more like orange zest than like orange juice. The additional botanicals make it strong, attention grabbing, fruity and yet combative. I was absolutely fascinated. Note that Buddha's Hand Gin is only one of the many items they have to explore there. I am totally ready to do more exploring. * * * The kitchen at Obsidian is also of distinction. The savvy local guide I came with adored his Thai Curry Wood Fired Rings. I went with a Cheesy Bread. This is open-faced grilled cheese on a thick slice of bread the size of a shoebox, with a wonderful homemade tomato sauce on about 1/3 of it. It is the best cheese pizza you have ever had. It is what cheese pizza is supposed to be if you don't use the standard canned ingredients that institutional providers sell to Domino's. I was as in love with my cheese bread as I was with my citrus gin. * * * The company was also outstanding. Which is just as well because Obsidian is a social place. Lots of Leanderthals having a fine time in couples and groups. This is not a loner's loser bar. You know - the dark rooms with misfits drinking their sixth beer while watching TV. This is a good folks good times full-of-sunlight place. So you definitely want to come with good folks. * * * Good food, good bottles, good people. And if you are feeling chipper, You can even have a homemade beer to celebrate.

    Another excellent experience at Obsidian. Definitely worth checking out and if you aren't a beer…read moreperson they have great cocktail and mocktail choices as well!
