    Stopped in to try a drink at this spot and it was pretty cool. Full bar with cocktails & good variety of beers on tap. Dimly lit- but casual. Several TVs around, also bar tables & cozy chairs. Pool table in the back room. It was a Monday nt, so not busy, but plenty of room for busier nights. Drink specials every day. No food, but looks like a permanent food truck out front (not open Monday though.) Bartender was nice. We ordered "Happy Hour Specials" and he asked which brand alcohol we wanted, and up-charged 1.50 on each drink when I said "Titos" & husb said "your choice".. hmm. Ok. Then, I guess he got distracted & didn't dress my martini, and forgot to smoke my husband's Old Fashioned. We reminded him & he took it back & smoked it. Overall a decent place. We'll try again sometime.

    The bartender was fast and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was so cute and the couches are comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Honestly I highly recommend this "hidden" gem! I would come back again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Intimate, clean, and fairly priced.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is the perfect first date or the repeated dated night ;)

    Cute little speakeasy that has a really nice pool table in the back and quite a few lounging areas for casual conversation. The staff is always very knowledgeable and great bartenders The interior design and atmosphere are absolutely impeccable and a lot more then meets the eye from the outside. This is a great spot to meet some friends and share a beverage or just catch up. Definitely worth a visit one time to see if it's for you.

    Came on a Monday night for their inaugural bingo event! It needs some tweaking, but the bartenders…read morewere kind of just thrown into it. We had a great time playing and I won Round 3 (4 Rounds). We got some really great margaritas from a very attentive & accommodating bartender. I'm docking a star because our experience with the food was lackluster, to say the least. We ordered a chicken pesto pizza with buffalo wings (it's their $22 special) and got some weird pizza with absolutely no flavor, no pesto, and avocado chunks on it. Sent that one back and asked to try the Mediterranean pizza with chicken, balsamic glaze & fresh basil on it and we ended up with a very frightening looking pizza that was basically balsamic as a base (nobody could eat that much balsamic) and no basil at all. It is Halloween week but the vibes should be spooky, not disgusting. On the wings, we requested all flats and got 1 flat and 4 drums. Alcohol kept me from crying. The pizzas were comped, obviously, but the wings should have been too, given the fact we had to send food back twice, didn't get what we requested on the wings, and then ended up actually overpaying for the wings because they were no longer part of the pizza combo. We were also told that the margaritas were on happy hour, which ended up not being true. Just kind of a weird food experience, but service, drinks, and bingo were great! And I've got $50 to give them another chance in the food!

As soon as we walked in, there were a few regulars that warmly welcomed us in, the owners of this spot pride themselves on a gathering spot to share drinks, cigars and create new friends and that's exactly what we walked into! They have a great selection of cigars and spirits and coffee. I ordered the espresso martini ... super strong but good! They have snack items to purchase and pastries and muffins as well. I got the banana foster muffin and it was hard and dry, so I wouldn't recommend that one. My friend purchased some cigars that we really enjoyed. Seating is comfortable but set up in pairs (we were a party of three). There is an upstairs loft where a poker game was in process; they have poker on a regular basis as well as other special event nights. The porch has plenty of seating as well, I definitely liked the porch area. This is going to be in our regular rotation - either going up to the wineries or on our way back! Great, great spot!!!

    for Twine Bulverde! It has quickly become our go to spot. I'll break down why below!…read more Food: everything is made from scratch by their chef. Our favorites are the wings (they are the best wings I've had), fries with dill ranch, the orzo pasta salad, fig and prosciutto flatbread and their caviar tater tots! I love how they have options for everyone and how everything is so fresh!! Atmosphere: may be my favorite part and here's why. Inside is adults only, so perfect for date night or a night out with friends. The decor is stunning and everything is soooo thoughtfully curated. Even their bathrooms are cute! lol Then you walk outside and everything transforms into the perfect family friends atmosphere with turf, a playground, and even a little playhouse for the kids to explore. The recently fenced in their playground which I love! They have comfy seating and cozy string lights. It's literally the perfect combo or aesthetic and family friendly! They also do live music on weekends and just recently did a Bubbles & Glow Sticks event for the kids. They also have a covered cigar lounge patio with a huge tv and couches. Now onto their drinks: AMAZING! I was able to speak with their two head bartenders and you can just hear the passion. They're always adding and testing new cocktails, and they have a great wine selection. My favorite cocktail is the Cucumber Twinetini! Service has been incredible. Everyone from their waitstaff to the bartenders to the owners are so friendly and passionate. You can tell the owners take great care of them and really care. This spot is located in downtown Bulverde and is a 12 minute drive from our house near Stone Oak. It's a small business owned by the sweetest husband and wife who have plans to expand into more restaurants and entertainment. I had to give them a shoutout because you can just see the passion and thoughtfulness that went into every detail. Check them out!

That's why this visit was so disappointing. We booked a private room for our group and paid a $50 room fee, fully expecting attentive service given the prices and the automatic 20% gratuity for a large party. Unfortunately the service fell far short of that expectation. From the beginning our server was noticeably unfriendly, and communication throughout the night was poor. Drinks took a long time to arrive and when food finally started coming out, it was extremely staggered. Two guests waited so long for their flatbreads that everyone else had already finished eating. Fries that were ordered early came out very late and cold after we had already tried to cancel them. Another uncomfortable moment came when the bill was being prepared. Instead of discreetly reviewing the check or confirming items professionally, the server went around the table asking individuals, "Were you the one with three drinks?" and "Did you have two drinks?" This felt invasive and unprofessional. In a proper serving environment especially with a large group billing should be handled discreetly, not by calling people out in front of the table. When we asked if the delayed items could be comped (at the very least the fries), the response felt dismissive and oddly transactional including repeatedly questioning whether the guest would take the fries home. At that point the issue wasn't the fries, it was the lack of accountability and basic customer service. When the owner/manager came out, instead of apologizing or acknowledging the experience we were met with excuses about staffing and being short-handed. While delays can happen, the lack of communication and the defensive tone made us feel like an inconvenience rather than paying customers. The atmosphere is lovely and the prices are high, but service and management matter just as much especially when hosting large groups. A simple apology, better communication, and more professional service would have gone a long way.
