    Very cool atmosphere! We used to go to the original Trough. All the charm of the original with updates. Food trucks. Great hamburgers.

    Cool little burning history--the building that houses The Pearl (The Blue Pearl) was built in the…read morelate 1800s; 1895-1896ish and has always had a bar in it. Interior stone walls transcend you back to that period of dirt streets, horses hitched out front, & America coming into its own. In the heart of historic downtown Lockhart, this live music venue also offers scrumptious food options from its restaurant as well as ice cold brews and elevated cocktails. Can't beat a Sunday Funday brunch with live music, drinks, and food.

    Having traveled from our home to this town, we had checked into our inn and now wanted some…read morerefreshments and mirth. We happened upon a bar that had a teller of comicdic stories and his helper and thought this to be perfect. The name of said bar was The Pearl and the storyteller a Mr. Daryl Felsberg. We ordered our alcohol. My wife and traveling companion got me a white chocolate Martini, it came with a pearl and a cherry. and I got her a cocktail called Emily Morgan. Both were very good. The service was friendly but only two people running the whole thing and one was the owner or manager who was mostly the greeter. She was friendly but the main bartender was doing most of the work and while impressive I felt sort of bad for him. The set up is you can sit at the bar, then there is a walkway all in a line from the door. When you enter bar is on your right. To the left are tables of various sizes. Right in front of the stage is a table with two comfy chairs. Right past the bar is a small seating nook with comfy chairs. Not a bad overall setup. Bathrooms are through another set of doors. No food but there is a popular pizza place nearby and you can bring that in to eat. The comics were both funny. We bought a CD and T-Shirt from the main guy. The one thing that did go wrong was the stage lighting. It just randomly would switch colors, brightness, sometimes turn off completely. This was their first comedy show there but they have live music so not sure what happened. You got your own water from a glass dispenser which was not the only place that did this. It was a pretty popular option. We also had a shot of peanut butter whiskey. The overall price wasn't bad. It was a nice place, they had live music coming after the comic but we had other plans. This was our only visit to The Pearl on this trip but it was a pleasant rest stop for weary traveller's in need of quenching our thirst and merriment.

    It's quite an experience to be inside this hall. A historic landmark and a popular event venue in…read moreTexas. When we walked in, I see the pictures of popular artists and performers who had been at this place posted at its reception wall. We happened to catch a nice band playing country songs that we liked on our visit. It would be nice if they have open up the dance floor but I guess it's only during nighttime visit that they do that. You could place an order of drinks or an appetizer while watching the show. Or if you feel like staying in the bar, where you could still hear the band , you are welcome to do so . How cool is that ? The location is in a busy community street and popular small town. It's worth swinging by during a visit in this area.

A true Texas dance hall, perfect for two-stepping and soaking in the culture. Even during the day, sitting outside with a beer offers a great experience. Staff are efficient, accommodating, and kind. as for cleanliness, the venue is kept spotless. There are a few things to consider: It gets extremely hot and sweaty inside, especially during shows. The venue is very popular, so expect large crowds and standing room only for many shows. While cards are accepted, having cash for an ATM across the street is useful. In terms of parking, the surrounding Gruene Historic District is busy, so it might be a little bit challenging. Overall experience: It's considered more than just a venue; it's an experience. Go early for the daytime feel or brace for heat and crowds for the legendary live shows inside, but either way, it's a cornerstone of Texas music history.
