We have been trying to come here for a couple years now. We finally made it! We only had about 45…read moreminutes to hang out before they closed but it was a great time. This is a unique venue in that it's a bit off the beaten path near driftwood, up in a hilly area. GPS guided us there just fine. The distillery is attached to a church and wedding venue, and the wizard academy (which our friend attended for his whiskey sommelier certification). I think the distillery is their own separate business and entity but the property all seems like one thing. The bartender said crowded barrel isn't run or connected to the wizard academy but they are friendly given the shared love of whiskey. At the whiskey academy, so somewhere on the property, is the wizard's whiskey vault. Now that's a room I'd like to get into. But, I'm not trying to be a whiskey Somme, so I'll likely never see it in person. We had a few cocktails and couple of straight pours. If we had come earlier in the day, I would have done a flight in addition, to get more tastes. Come with at least an hour to spend here. I enjoyed the Anejo agave (tequila) spirit and we bought a bottle of the Snake Wood Whiskey. This is a fun and uniquely flavored whiskey. It's a bourbon finished with Brazilian Amburana Oak which lends an interesting cinnamon like taste. But it's not cinnamon, it's like reminiscent of baking spices. Very tasty. The staff were friendly and happy to chat about whiskey. We enjoyed our time there, wish we had been able to spend just a little bit longer but such is life :)

An older gentleman (assuming the owner) was sitting outside and followed me in. Reeked of cigarette smoke. He told me i could sit anywhere, so I did. The chair cover was covered in crumbs from the previous evening. I received a menu and another table of four sat down shortly after. My water arrived and I waited to order. Having a lunch menu, I assumed (my bad) there would be some sort of a combo or something. Nope. I ordered the $16 prosciutto panini. $5 extra for a side salad which I didn't want to commit to. After about 15-20 min the entree arrived. I was expecting this to be a wonderful sandwich full of meat and veggies. It had maybe two pieces of meat and about 6 slices of roasted red peppers. Pesto didn't taste like anything. Bread was so bad. For an Italian restaurant, you'd think it would be awesome. I was so disappointed. A family came inside to eat, which was family or friends of the owners. I was never waited on again. Water empty, no question of the food was good or not. No check either. I finally got up and went to the bar to pay. The original man had his shoe off and on the counter that he was messing with. I asked to pay and he rang it up. Never asked how things were or if he could get me anything else. So disappointed. I don't know why we can't have a good Italian place around here. Times are tough, but you'd think they would put more effort into it.

There wasn't a ton of flavor to be found and it was a lack luster dining experience overall. Again, there were zero issues on the food itself. It was all cooked correctly, but it was probably one of the least memorable meals we've had. The only items that stood out were: 1. The salsa from the tacos (I tried smothering my sandwhich in it to get some flavor) and it had a nice kick. 2. The fig jam stood out because I like figs, but it didn't taste like much was done with it so nothing special. 3. The dirty brown sugar chai latte was VERY chai forward and I probably wouldn't order it again, but I was so bored with everything on my plate it was the most interesting part of my meal.

The Buzz is the Craft Beer Bar in the Whole Foods in Bee Cave…read more Don't knock going to Whole Foods to drink. The comparable establishment at Whole Foods Domain - the Draft Shack - is one of the two best beer bars in Austin. (The other one is the Beer Plant) And, no, I do not want to hear all the anguished cries of pain from fans of Bangers, the Draught House, Pinthouse etc. etc. etc. In terms of quality of selection, the Draft Shack and the Beer Plant are it. And just in case, I checked this out with God, the last time he was Yelping in Austin. (He was having Korean Fried Chicken at Seoulju, where He was impressed.) He agrees with me on the beer places. * * * The Buzz is not as impressive as the Draft Shack. There are forty percent fewer beers. There are a lot more you-can-get-them-lotsa-places items (Celis, Left Hand Milk Stout). The rare items are not necessarily well chosen. I had a Rocket Fuel - a Vietnamese coffee porter. This is, for all intents and purposes, chocolate milk passing itself off as beer. * * * However, the headline story of Buzz is the scenery and the location. This is more of a place to hang out rather than a place to get fussy over your beer. The room itself is no great shakes, but there are three balconies and these make all the difference. You can overlook the store. You can sit outdoors on the service side and look at the doctor's office across the street. Or you can go whole-hog I-love-the-Hill-Country-Galleria, and sit on the main balcony and look out at one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the Galleria. In the Draft Shack in the Domain, you can kind of forget where you are and lose yourself in the room. It is a small internal place where all the views look inward. The Buzz wants you to sit on a balcony and see the world. So a lot depends on whether you love or hate the Galleria. The couple behind me were all-out Galleria lovers. They had been there much of the afternoon. It was quite clear that this was a destination good time for them. They had picked two chairs with good views and were wholly immersed in the passing scene. I would guess they were regulars. I am fascinated, intrigued and repulsed by the Galleria all at once. It is a fake artificially-planned city - in the tradition of the Domain Austin or the District at Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas. For a shopping mall/city it is surprisingly well done. They put City Hall and the Public Library right in the middle of the mall. City Hall is an impressive structure. Bee Cave Police Headquarters is also right in the mall. So they do what they can to make this a real town. Citizens can go to the Galleria to attend City Council meetings and give speeches at the mike about the motion under consideration. There are public squares. There are large single family homes, of urban design but pretty nice looking. There are sitting places on the corners for people. People can and do sit on the corner benches and talk to their friends. The Galleria feels both planned and synthetic. However, it is the bona fide center of the City of Bee Cave. Life revolves around it. The store and restaurant line-up is pretty decent. There are places I would want to eat, places I would want to hang out, places I would want to drink coffee and places I would want to shop. (I actually did shop while I was there. I loved H & M.) Real offices overlook much of the scenery. The sign on the wall at Buzz promises that the balcony offers views of real Hill Country sunsets. That is kind of hard since neither balcony faces west. Just between the wall of Whole Foods, and the wall across the street of the European Wax Center, you get a ten degree snippet where you can make out a sliver of western sunset sky. I suspect most of the customers get better Hill Country views from the windows of their own homes. * * * That said, the comings and goings of the street below are not uninteresting. The Austin hippie/techie count is low but not zero. The rich teenager count is high. Half are accompanied by Mom or Dad. The unchaperoned kids do shenanigans. The shoppers have their dramas, just as shoppers always have their dramas. The late afternoon light makes everything warm and inviting. It makes you almost want to take a job at one of the offices where the sun is pouring in. * * * So passing an afternoon at the Buzz is not the worst torture that life can mete out to you. But I would still rather drink at Whole Foods Domain. The scenery here is nice. But Austin is not short of bars with great crowds and great scenery.

Growlers are sold as well, so you can take the party home with you. They don't serve food, but you can pick some up in the market downstairs and enjoy it in here. There are three different balconies outside that offer great views of the domain area. Great people watching opportunities since you are upstairs. One of the balconies has a view of the lake, which is my favorite. The drafts are reasonably priced, with most being $5 for a pint. This was a nice discovery inside the market.
