1922 Libations and Bites - Old school hallway

1922 Libations and Bites

Old Taylor High has a few hidden gems in it. 1922 Libations and Bites might be the best thing the…read morebuilding has to offer. 1922 is a bar first and foremost, but it also has a solid kitchen on top of it. For being in an old classroom, after a certain point you forget you're even in a high school, as the atmosphere of the space feels quite welcoming. I ordered a Fleur de Violet to start the night, made with St. Rémy, lavender syrup, Absolut pear, and lavender bitters, creating an incredibly refreshing floral drink. Alongside it, I ordered the Pesto Chicken Sandwich, which is grilled chicken with mozzarella, red pepper, and, of course, a housemade pesto served on ciabatta. I was starved, and it hit the spot. Super flavorful and filling, plus it came with a side of kettle chips. After my drink, I shifted to a pour of Lone Star in a frosted glass, and the bartender gave us a show to watch as he poured it. The two guys working the main restaurant were quite sociable and friendly. The spot was pretty busy into the evening before we shifted into the speakeasy side of the restaurant for a final drink. I got their Hemingway, made with Flor de Caña, grapefruit, lime, and maraschino liqueur. Another fine drink! The speakeasy is like a second space in itself and even more engrossing and enthralling than the main restaurant. Nothing else in Old Taylor High has the service, the experience, or the overall craftsmanship than 1922 has. When we stepped out after our few drinks, the bright lights of the former high school hallways sobered us up, as we went back into reality. RIYL: A great dining and drinking experience in a unique location

My husband and I went here initially just to get a drink and check the place out. I looked at the…read moremenu and decided to take a chance, even though some of the food items were...risky..in such a small place in such a small town. MAN were we pleasantly surprised. Grant puts ALL his love into his food and it shows!! We had the bone marrow and a BLT. I have to say BEST BLT I've ever had and that is saying a lot cause it's my favorite sandwich. The bacon was insanely thick pork belly and even the tomato was thick cut & juicy. Grant was loading the bone marrow up with sea salt before broiling and I was thinking "enough salt already," but it was PERFECTION. John made the drinks and they were also delicious! I had an Aviation cocktail (one of my favorites) and it was not too sweet; perfectly balanced. I do wish this place had some outdoor seating easily accessible for when it cools down a bit, but it was really such a positive experience we don't even care; we WILL be back. DO NOT go in here expecting to leave quickly or get a "cheap meal." It is a place to savor, enjoy the flavors, and pay for what you are getting. If you are a foodie, you will LOVE it!!! GREAT addition to Taylor, thank goodness!!

An…read moreamazing selection of wine, plenty of seating, tasty charcuterie boards, free tastings, board games, kind owners who get to know their guests, vinyl records to play every Thursday and so many other cool events. Open Mic nights are twice a month. Live music is scheduled every Friday and Saturday. They host Women Wine Wednesdays on the first Wednesday of the month featuring local women owned businesses where you can sip while you shop. The service is extremely hospitable and personal. Staff members Jen and Eric are amazing at exploring individual tastes and suggesting the perfect wine out of the extensive menu. The creation of Cork2Glass is beautiful, the space was developed to share the sense of wonder that comes with opening a wine bottle. You get to learn the story each glass is telling because every vineyard has a rich history. This is a cozy gathering spot for wine lovers without the intimidation or pretension. Everyone can enjoy a glass! Bottles are reasonably priced and there is a huge, high quality variety. However, if you feel like splurging, they have a cellar of high end wines that are a perfect gift or way to commemorate a special occasion. If the options are too overwhelming there are multiple wine flights to choose from. They also offer beer or non-alcoholic beverages if wine isn't your passion but you still want to visit. I'll be bringing all my friends here and taking advantage of the amazing community built here at all the wonderful events!

Great place for happy hour, a date, or girl dinner! I'm ashamed I didn't take pics before we dug…read morein, but maybe the photo is evidence of how much we liked it. Really tasty wines by the glass and a couple of flight options. The food was quite a pleasant surprise! Delicious Marcona almonds, made to order flatbreads, and other tasty things. Wonderful friendly service. We will be back!

I've been to The Vineyard at Florence twice and loved it both times! The grounds are beautiful, and…read moreit's a wonderful place to spend time with the whole family. The kids had so much fun with the swings, giant outdoor chess, and space to play while we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and live music. The food is amazing, and the pizza deserves a special mention, it was so good that even with all the other delicious options, you're tempted to order it again! Definitely a place worth coming back to.

The Vineyard at Florence is a lovely place but on Saturday, an employee - I believe her name is…read moreCrystal truly disrespected me and my guests. I walked in the side door to go to game room (not the restaurant) with 3 other guests and my service dog, who is a small Shih Tzu, he did not have is vest on, but he has been there many time before without his vest. Crystal literally jumps out of her chair in her office and runs in the hallway to scream at me that I can't have my dog in there in front of everyone, she did not pull me to side, she did not use any customer service skills, she just screamed at me. I told her he was a service dog and I think she said well he has to have his vest with the worst attitude. I did as she requested and removed the dog from the building and sat outside with my dog. This was a work meeting for me with clients and she embarrassed me, upset my clients and honestly I have never seen someone so passionate about kicking out a cute shih-tzu in my life. It was like she was having a bad day or something and she wanted to take it out on me. I have been coming to the vineyard over a decade and I've never seen a sign saying no pets allowed maybe the rules changed, and I will gladly comply if they did, but it was not that the fact that she asked me to remove the dog, it was the tone and the way she yelled at me that was so concerning and I think as a vineyard you should know about this incident and that lots of people have pets, Austin is a pet friendly city and she could have been a lot kinder and use some customer service skills to get her point across with the little class and grace that you expect from a vineyard establishment. Everyone is there to have a good time and have a meaningful experience with the staff, not get yelled by an unhinged employee. I have nothing but good things to say about the other employees, everyone is always kind and gracious. Next time we return Louis will have his service dog vest on.
