I recently visited The Growling, a hidden gem for craft beer enthusiasts. This bar stands out for its exclusive focus on Texas beers, showcasing an impressive variety of local brews. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfectly suited for both casual hangouts and beer aficionados. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the best beers Texas has to offer!

If you like craft beer, this place is a gem. There are many styles to choose from, all from Texas breweries. The owner Manuel is very knowledgeable and helpful about the beer selection. We met several friendly people there. Try it out!

Well it would have been really nice to experience this bar as my fiancé and I were really excited to try their beers - except it took one phone call for us to never try this place. My fiancé wanted to find a new place to enjoy a couple beers with our pups. He came across this place and saw numerous pictures of animals in the bar, as well as reading reviews that had mentioned them being dog friendly. Just as a precaution, I called them to make sure dogs were welcomed and this is how the conversation went:Me: "Hello! Do y'all allow dogs?"Employee: "Is it a service dog" Me: "No" Employee: "I'll ask again... is it a service dog?" Me: *thinking we got disconnected or he didn't hear me* "No, sir" Employee: "Then have a nice day." So, yeah. I was taken back and giving him the benefit of the doubt that maybe the lines were breaking up or something. My fiancé called back asking the same question and he got the exact same attitude and unneeded snarky remarks, even raising his voice after my fiancé asked for a simple yes or no. So, we took our business and our dogs elsewhere. Very sad.

I didn't see any food, plus we were going somewhere else to grub. We stopped to kill some time. Bartender was super nice, and knew what he had on tap. This is a taproom, with only Texas beers. So it was limited, but I still think it had a very decent selection of beer. This place is pretty laid back, dart board, pool table, movie night, and my favorite, bring your own vinyls for them to play. The decor is pretty cool. Not a lot of places to sit, but you can sit outside as well. I would come back with the guys, but not anytime in the future.

Great place! Great atmosphere! Great freakin' service! Knowledgeable with beers-(IPAs)-Wish they were here where we live-in a Lubbock suburb.

It was chill, the bartender had great suggestions, and the beer was varied and delicious. Will come back again.
Best Bar in San Marcos. Especially because they sell Mead

Great vibes and great beer. Bartender was very cool, and very knowledgeable on all the beer. They had a comedy/concert show the night I went and it was awesome.

Had a blast jamming out to the bands last night, just wish there was more seating in the back inside. Great craft beer selection to choose from.
