On a slow evening with no event on the calendar, 1859 is still open, still serving, and still delivering. That kind of consistency is genuinely rare in Salado, and anyone who lives here knows it. They've recently added a full menu, and the food is excellent -- not bar-food excellent. Actually excellent. These owners put real time and resources into keeping this business worth coming back to. It shows. Highly recommended.

We opted for their flatbread style pizzas. She got a loaded out meat pizza and loved it. I had their Blackberry & Brie pizza which was absolutely bananas! The flavor combo was pure genius. Their drinks were equally delicious and for the atmosphere, service and food quality the price was on point. Looking forward to my next visit.

I did enjoy this place. However, my two complaints that stop it from getting five stars would be because of the overall ambience was rather loud. It's not a very large space however they had a musician playing with large loudspeakers. My wife and I couldn't hardly talk and it felt more of a club type vibe. My other complaint would be this is not a place for draft beer. They only bottles (small selection) or liquor. Other than that I still would recommend trying this place at least once. I absolutely enjoyed their tacos!

The chicken fettuccine alfredo was a solid pasta and came in a large portion. I also got a glass of moscato. My friends enjoyed the chicken piccata, triple delight, and shrimp scampi. When I made a reservation over the phone and also when I arrived, I was told by the hostess that there would be something special done for the birthday occasion. I saw in other reviews that they give a small dessert with a message, but they did not do anything of the sort. Our server was extremely slow, and the birthday dessert never came. This was a huge disappointment when I specifically chose this restaurant to celebrate the occasion.

Google will get you into the right area, but you'll have to go through a pizza joint's seating area and head towards the big painting to access the entrance. What a cool experience! Walking in, you're immediately transported to a dark, eerie and ominous yet welcoming room. A full bar on the left? Bookstore with seats on the right? Wow yes please! I went to visit the bar and was impressed by its selective, but adequate spread of options. I ordered a summer spritz and went to go look at the books available. I love how they section off into the different genres while adequately having a good seating area. If you're in the area to explore, this place is it for some good reads and studying. Nice dark but appropriately enhanced environment for some quiet time!

They have a neighboring restaurant called Sabinos that has pizza and chicken. We definitely have had it delivered and it was delicious. I like this place

The space has an industrial-chic feel with both indoor and outdoor seating. Since I was dining solo, I grabbed a seat at the bar.

To balance things out, I ordered the BLTA sandwich, which was simple yet delicious. The menu was reasonably priced and refreshingly straightforward which I appreciated.

Great selection of Irish, Scottish, and American whiskeys. Limited selection of beer. Bottles/cans only. I wish they had Guinness on tap. Smithicks and Harp would be nice options too. Very limited wine selection. Nice glassware which elevates the overall experience. The bartender was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and a well trained mixologist. She made us feel welcome and like valued guests. We will be sure to return. This place does a good job staying on theme.

It's small town for sure so it has fun cute like vibe going on but again what places doesn't -…read moreordered three drinks and lemon water for our non drinker of the group - the non alcohol drink was some weird mix of something but def not the Lemon water expected. 30 min pass before they brought him a drink of water just to have something for the night after we asked if they could correct the drink. We never saw our waitress again and the owner had to ring us up after we stood at the bar looking out of place because we were trying to find our waitress. All that aside it wasn't a big deal because it is Saturday and it's expected to be a little busy (but this place isn't that big) .... We even tipped fairly and they did apologize, however for it to be a small town bar ... it def had large metro prices - my drink was 21$ and some change. 3$ for some drops of bitters in a bourbon that isn't anything fancy shouldn't be in that price range - we sorta like the place but it's not affordable for families that are like most struggling mid class. These high liquor prices could be why the industry is seeing less and less crowds and/or public liquor purchasing. Roll the dice on this one if you just want something different but save a few weeks to afford the bill - we had a 60+ $ bill for three drinks. 3 Stars for avg , unfortunately nothing here makes it a wow factor. It's ok if you like ok places.
