9 Best Bars near Dripping Springs

“Traveled in for the night to catch the comedy show, definitely needed coffee and something to eat the next morning. Coffee was great, cinnamon rolls were amazing, the staff and owners were very friendly. Definitely will go back when we’re in Austin.“

“Whoops… I accidentally ate it all! Lol. It’s savory, not salty, fresh and delicious - The best bruschetta I think I’ve had here in Texas! And there’s a lot of mozz, tomato, onion and herbs. Great light/early meal for 1-2 people. Price is on point. You’ll be happy.“

“Friendly staff, authentic regulars, great atmosphere (that's subjective, sorry, the vibe was atmospheric and saloon esq.) Lots of license plates and paintings by local artists. Americana ephemera - old farming stuff, 50s auto relics, vintage glass, flags - and other familiar features of a well loved bar. Varied and interesting beer selection. Locally grounded and community oriented.“

“I recommend the food. Service was ok- though not a very knowledgeable staff. We came here based on their whiskey list on their website, and after trying to order, we asked for four different bourbons, the server would leave to ask the bar, and took him roughly ten minutes each time to then return with a “we don’t have that”. The bartender came out to our table finally and asked us what we wanted to spend “on a shot of whiskey? $50 or $10?” Seriously? You guys brag on your own website that you have over 300 whiskeys (you don’t- please update your list- it’ll save customers’ time and prevent your servers from running back and forth to the bar for 40 minutes) and then we kinda get treated rudely. #1) what we were asking for from their list aren’t bourbons that should be treated as “shots” and #2) you shouldn’t insult your customers for asking for things listed on your own website. She said they had Little Book- I asked which chapter- she didn’t know, but told me it was an $18 pour. I said sure- I’ll take it. I was charged $30. Not big deal, just felt lied to, on top of everything. We’d arrived at 5pm. Didn’t get out of there until 8pm. Won’t return, but their food was good.“

“My personal favorite. Of the distilleries I've been to, Desert Door has the best drive to, has the best staff, and Sotol (the liquor) is just great. I've had just about all the regular servers and the service is consistently great. David the manager, Erin G., Erin T., Hayley, etc... are so much fun and keep the drinks coming. The atmosphere is solid... I could keep going. Take the time to go and you'll be happy you did.“

“Hands down, one of the best bars I’ve ever been to. There is plenty for adults and kids, the scenery was beautiful, lots of parking, playscape for the kids was fun, and we were able to feed the llamas when we were there! Will definitely be back!“

“This place has the coolest neighborhood vibe. Facility is super clean and unique, space is open and breezy, it's fantastic. Highly highly recommend. 10ish beers on tap, 20ish in bottles and cans, mixed drinks, great whiskey/bourbon selection... This place is sick.“

“I'm native Texan, but I never owned cowboy boots... well, I got my first pair and broke them in on this dance floor... and I'm never looking back! Great dance hall with fantastic live country-western Texas two-steppin' music.Kid-friendliness: No kids under 18.“

“Picture yourself walking into a garage… am I in the right place? The sign said open… it even said FREE tasting… ? it seems pretty easy to hide a body out here… NONSENSE! You’ve arrived. This hidden gem of a distillery is the behind the curtain reveal. This is how the magic happens. The air is filled with the aroma of botanicals and maybe a hint of the neighbors yellow lab puppy wandering in. You're greeted at Revolution Spirits by true creatives eager to introduce you to their craft. But before you explore the distillery, let's start with what brought you here - the gin! This is not your average gin, but a liquid masterpiece that has been carefully distilled with a blend of juniper, ROSEMARY, lavender, lemongrass, and Texas grapefruit.Don’t leave without a bottle* of La Dama. ??*or two“
