We had been drinking beer, so I stuck to beer except for an old fashioned (which was excellent and used Buffalo Trace). They also have an awesome selection of draft beers. I had a Live Oak Hefeweizen which was excellent. Service was excellent both at the restaurant and the attached pizza area. Since we had been drinking a while, we decided to have pizza at the shop attached to the bar. They have a nice pizza oven and this was excellent. I forget the name, but it has a nice thin crust with great cheese and topped with sausage and mushrooms. It really hit the spot Definitely worth a visit, distinct from many of the other bars around.

I'm not often as impressed as I am by Rough Draught. Awesome, awesome selection. Good people who enjoy talking whiskey. The interior and decoration and walls - it all just GOES. It's perfect. Sadly they were out of a key ingredient or two to make pizza when we were there - during Thanksgiving week, so... not "normal" timing - so we sadly could not try their pizza. But we enjoyed multiple great pours, some good cocktails, great conversation, and exploring all of the details in the decor. A staple for any visit I'll be making to College Station and Aggieland.

We dove right in and decided to stop by without lots of context. First of all, I love this place. It's chill, lots of good beer, and has some good open seating. It's an ice house, folks. The beer selection was pretty good with a mix of local/regional craft beers in cans alongside national micro-craft beers from CO, OR, and NM. Great atmosphere if you're just looking to get out of the house. It seemed like they had a few snacks but didn't have too much In terms of food selection. With this place on our list of go-to's, I can safely say Bryan is growing on us!

Now the drinks here are not the strongest, although they do two drinks well, which are the Manhattan and a Old Fashioned. But most cocktails are pretty weak. They do have a nice selection of beer and I suggest drinking a SnakeBite which is Guiness mixed with a cider. The restraunt next door is connected and serves food to the bar as well. I haven't tried the food, as I am a pescatarian and haven't seen anything that interest me on the menu. Its German food I think.

This is a nice little bar, old-school. They have a good selection of beers and drinks; I just wish…read morethe beer, both bottled and draft, was colder. We've been spoiled by Twin Peaks. The food is good also. The queso is excellent, although they can be cheap in filling the bowl up. The cheeseburger is very good, with good hand cut fries. Recently the fries were warm but not fresh and hot. I also don't understand why they don't give us a bottle of ketchup with the meal. Instead, they give one little cup, which isn't nearly enough, and good luck getting the servers to bring you more. I had to go to the bar to get them. That's very cheap and annoying. Generally, the service is ok, and the ambience perfect for a neighborhood bar.

They have an outstanding draft like that includes Guiness (served in Guiness pint glasses). My nephew had one and thought it was perfect. I had a Hefeweizen from White brewery that was excellent.

It's labeled a "whiskey" bar however I found their breadth of labels and age statements to be lacking. The tequila and mezcal selection was actually better overall, however please note they have decided to lean in hard on the clase azul train. Bar staff is professional and make a decent cocktail. They offer seasonal concoctions that all lean on the saccharine side but overall made well. Live music on the weekends is also a plus. I do wish they add a server or two to the room, the bar can get deep and having people stand in line to get a drink like this is some shot bar on north gate or beer line at Kyle field doesn't fit the vibe.

I'm in a powered wheelchair and the employee, Bobby, was nice enough to take me up a classy freight elevator to the second floor, where the reception was being held. It was a nice area, furnished with a lot of wood and lights. The reception had set up a nice buffet, and 200 drink tokens had been set aside for guests, although by the time I got there they had been used up. My girlfriend and I got a gin & tonic, and a vodka tonic, for about 11$ each, with both the gin, vodka, and tonics being brewed in house. They were very tasty, although maybe not 11$-tasty. Overall it was a lovely location for a wedding reception, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the drinks were good if just a tad pricey.

The bartenders are so knowledgeable they can walk you through the entire menu. They will let you do a little tastings. The distillery also does tours during the day, but I guarantee you the bartenders here can help you find a drink that you will like and they will also walk you through mock tails if you are alcohol free. Endless amounts of seating are available for large groups, small groups. This is so perfect for a birthday party graduation date night a fun thing to do during the day if you're going to take a tour. The cocktails are seasonal with such fun names. This is such a cool gem, so glad I got to visit.

If you want a proper cheeseburger, go in the back door, not the front (saloon) doors. If it's gameday, go an hour or two before the game. Order your food at the counter, then proceed out of that room to the back bar. Order a shiner bock to accompany your cheeseburger. Proceed to the back by the pool tables and say hi to the rattlesnake in the far back. Around that time, someone will be calling your name for food. If you've got time to hang out and play pool with some friends, or before a game, grab a pitcher and find a table. Note that this review is for daylight hours only, and the evening (a good time in its own right) is a different experience than covered here. Gentlemen, if you happen to find a trough, do not eat the ice.
