I don't normally do reviews, but unfortunately, this was not the greatest experience. I came here…read morebecause I wanted a chai latte as the first place that I went to was closed. I checked their website ahead of time and they had it on their menu, served iced or hot. I get there and the lady tells me it's only served cold and then just assumed I wanted espresso, thankfully she asked if I wanted extra before making it so that I could correct her. Then she makes it with ice?? Which I have to tell her absolutely not, especially considering I already said that o wanted it hot? She then handed me the remade drink saying, "hope you have a better day" as I go to leave... when the poor experience was the only negative thing to happen to me today. The taste of the chai and the overall setup of the place saved this from being a one star review. (Visit: 7/11/26 at 4pm)

The Duderino is an excellent cocktail as well as the local brews. There are three food trucks that you can choose from (I like variety) and plenty of outdoor seating.

It's the little things!

How cool is this? Crowded Barrel is funded by whiskey fans. It's done so through an online method…read more So essentially all of the people backing Crowded are owners in a way. The truest sense of crowd funding comes to life and seemingly thriving. Distillery tours are available for $35 and I strongly encourage folks to give them a visit and check out what's going on. The tasting room is cool + rad. It's like spending time with the greatest people you know. Or maybe it's just the great booze that makes it feel that way? Lol, I kid. It's totally a combo of both. They don't just make whiskey, they've got a gin, tequila (a few) and a vodka as well. I'm a big fan of the vodka. Haven't tried the gin yet. This is a Dripping Springs gem.

The business is tucked away off the road in a nice neighborhood but it's worth the exploration and drive. The interior of the bar is nicely decorated with a consistent midevil/knights of the round table theme that is tastefully executed with music that wasn't loud and cold AC! The bartenders were knowledgeable and expedient while providing a detailed overview of the spirits lineup. Most importantly, the bartenders did not pressure us into purchasing bottles, memberships, or noticeably more expensive drinks. As a result, I was inclined to spend more money! I'll definitely return to CWB and wish I would have found it earlier.

The music and overall vibe were spot on. Not too loud, not too quiet -- just right to kick back, relax, and actually enjoy a conversation with the people you're with. That's something a lot of places miss, but they nailed it here. The atmosphere has a cool, easygoing energy that makes you want to stay awhile. It's the kind of place you can hang out, unwind, and just enjoy the moment without feeling rushed or crowded. If you ever find yourself in Dripping Springs -- or if you're local -- this is definitely a must-visit spot. I'll for sure be back next time I'm in the area. With all that said, go thru the door on the right.....better known as the "speak easy" side.

We LOVED visiting Treaty Oak. We were in town for a friend's wedding and came here twice while we…read morewere there. Alice's restaurant was delicious, I got one of the salads with salmon added. We all really enjoyed the cocktails. I had the antique fizz and loved the hints of lavender with the taste of the gin. The rest of my family really enjoyed having the old fashions. This is a great place to hang out with family. Plenty of outdoor space as well as places to sit indoors. The staff was super attentive and made great recommendations when it came to food and drinks. If we are ever back in dripping springs we will for sure go back! For now, ordering some gin online from them!

We enjoyed some great whiskey tasting served by our fun bartender "Jack"! I am not a big whiskey fan but they had some really tasty stuff! My favorite was the Old Fashion Cocktail and the Texas Bourbon Whiskey. We went into the Bottle Shop & Mercantile building which has a tasting bar with tables & chairs, and a sitting area with a big screen tv. They have lots of outdoor seating area to enjoy with live entertainment. Pet friendly. You can also do a tour of the distillery which we did not get to do, but will go back soon to do it. They also sell those beautiful whiskey barrels at a great price. Definitely recommend this great place to hang out with friends, enjoy some good whiskey with a fun atmosphere.

They kept the nautical theme throughout the restaurant, which you really notice from the bar area where I sat. Service was friendly and very attentive even on a slow Sunday although though I'm guessing this location might be more of a dinner spot. There's plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs, which makes it a good option for larger groups. As for the food I went with the Connecticut-style lobster roll since it was a warm afternoon, but the menu offers a solid variety of seafood and non-seafood options along with some delicious desserts like the key lime pie which I also got to try. Prices are definitely on the higher side as expected with quality seafood, but I had a coupon that helped offset the cost. I can't say I'd come here regularly because of the price point, but if I'm in the area and craving seafood this would easily be my go-to place.

Made with local ingredients. The Biergarten and tasting room are definitely rustic with shabby chic vibes and it just screams Dripping Springs. Outdoor seating (picnic tables) with an outdoor bar as well. The Blitzkrieg Bock is a tasty and flavorful pour. 8% ABV. I love the Bloody Mary. Just the right amount of spice! They've got a slew of cocktails available from a variety of Hurricane/tiki-style drinks to mules, spiked lemonades, to classics like old-fashions and others. Food trucks on the weekends and you can also get pizza and soft pretzels. Fun place to check out in the Springs.

Fear not, the factory (distillery) in Buda isn't going anywhere. The folks here told me the property and buildings are being taken over and another business will be coming in. It just makes me sad because we love it here. We love everything about it and took for granted that it will always be here. The tasting room and distillery are huge and so tastefully put together. See what I did there? Lol. The grounds are the epitome of Hill Country. Amazing views of wildflowers, brush, and sky all about. Lots and lots of outdoor patio seating, food truck area, large indoor seating, tasting bar, large ordering bars, gift shop, games, and lots more. I'm reviewing as they're leaving because this is another one of those draft reviews that I've been waiting to be finished for a long time. I gotta get better at that lol. Anyway, that matters not because this place still deserves an incredible review. Absolutely amazing drinks and people. It (was) a great way to wind down after a day of outdoor activity in Hill Country. A+++++

We had so much fun here! I enjoy Deep Eddy so it was cool to see this ATX og. We came on a Sunday…read moreand it was superrrr chill. Not busy and a great time to soak in the weekend. They have a menu with premade cocktails to order from, or you can create your own with their large varieties of flavors. We didn't do the full tastings, but did get some espresso martinis and the pickle one! The seating is set up as communal tables with benches, and they have lots of games you can play. Outside they have nice patio seating and yard games to play. I'd definitely return!

You can pick up bottles of their booze for purchase and/or have cocktails. I recommend taking a bottle home. We purchased a bottle of the Austin Reserve Gin and it's a favorite when we have guests over. They offer an experience where you can do tastings, see behind-the-scenes, etc. That will be fun to do if we get a chance to visit again. On our visit, I had the Austin Fizz which was made with the reserve gin and Topo Chico. Hands down, the perfect summertime drink. We're big Negroni fans and my boyfriend had one and wow-wee do they get it right! I can't say enough good things about this place. You're just gonna have to check them out for yourself to understand what I mean. You won't be disappointed.
