Aside from that however, The Bloo Moon features an atmosphere unlike most places you'll find in San Marcos, which is really saying something. The music is always good, usually a mix of Canadian indie and electronic music and nothing in between. The guy that runs the place though, bless his heart, seems like he's always high on something. I think his name is Lenny? Whatever, he's a cool cat. Also, side note, this place features a strange array of Metric posters, not that I'm complaining. I guess it fits in with the whole Canadian theme. Be careful not to step on the doge that sometimes appears on the dance floor as well. Basically, visit The Bloo Moon if you crave dancing your ass off to Canadian indie bands and enjoy a dark, mysterious setting. Also, children get in free on Saturday nights! I take my family here!!

We sat at the bar, quickly attended to, not the biggest selections but has all the basics needed. The place has a good feel to it.

We sat at a booth, which theirs are higher seated and I liked that. Waitress was very nice and attentive! We started with hush puppies (moist and flavorful) and 12 raw oysters on half shell (super fresh!) Our meal consisted of 2lbs of crawfish, 2lbs of headless shrimp, and 2 clusters of snow crab legs. It came with 4 corn and 6 potatoes. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! It was perfectly cooked and seasoned! Our 2 year old had hush puppies and mini corn dogs with fries. The only thing that caught us off guard was the price of the snow crab legs ($77) 4*19*26 that was a bit above what we have paid before at multiple places and very recently to this date. The other food was very well priced and so were their beers! 5 because the price is something we should've asked for before hand.

The bar has a really cool vibe - old storefront with windows that open to the beer garden. Plenty of outdoor seating, food truck, and live music. We took a peek in the dance hall - smaller than Gruene or Mercer but looks like a fun place for a night out with friends! Definitely check out their upcoming shows to see who is playing (so far most of the music lineups are just for the beer garden). The bathrooms are outside and were clean at first but got dirty quickly. They desperately need to refill the soap dispensers! This is definitely a spot for local and bikers - so expect some smoking and engine noise. But overall a great place to relax under the giant oak tree.

Next stop The Rose Room...I have never been to this club because it has unusual hours....Friday & Saturday: 10 PM - 2 AM. This is the TAO (Las Vegas, NV) equivalent for Austin, TX. We began with a dramatic escalator entrance. When you get off the escalator and go left (only possible direction), you see a sea of sardine-packed people dancing like it is there last night of earth. There is a small section of the club with stadium-like seating and a standing area. The music was blasting so loud your body was literally vibrating. A huge LED lit wall showing different designs was the focal point. A DJ was spinning some high energy songs. It was on and popping. We stayed at The Rose Room for a very short while in fear that our ear drums would explode. In my 20s I used go out a lot with friends...surprised I have any hearing today. The key is when music is that loud, you don't linger. This is a drinks only club with a bar inside the club.

Whether you're a pro two-stepper or a professional people watcher, Mavericks offers a little…read moresomething for everyone. Mavericks is split into two sections: the inside (country music) and the outside (top hits). If you have ever watched a movie involving the honky tonk, this is what Mavericks is. Inside, you'll find a large dance floor where people are showing off their country moves (partner in hand or air). Be careful where you step, as the inside is dimly lit, haphazardly loud, and crowded! The nearest bar will fortunately be located on each side of the dance floor, but expect a challenge to find somewhere to sit. If you need a breather, take a walk outside or heck, ride the bull if you're just wanting something to do! Besides the dancing, watching people brave the bull was my next favorite item to people watch for. FYI: Ladies ride for free. The outdoor space at Mavericks is spacious and great to have actual conversations. I would check online prior to coming, as there are various events scheduled (ie: college night, Tejano night, Music series, etc).

I've been going to mavericks for about four years now and was about to write a good review but my…read morelast experience completely demolished any chance of that. First, AI music? Are yall actually joking??? Mavs used to play REAL country music and last Thursday every other song was AI slop. Second, someone needs to monitor the dance floor. There's a line dance for every song now but that also means that line dancers need to respect the two-steppers. Stay to the center, try to condense, etc so people can two step around you. Why is Mary sue and her friends on one end of the dance floor and Bobby Jane is on the other with her friends doing an entire different line dance? Lastly, guys USED to ask people to dance. I haven't had anyone ask the last few times I've gone even tho I stand near the entrance/exit as per normal. I wear the same clothes, try to not seem closed off/turn off my rbf, and genuinely never get asked. And I see this with so many other girls too, they wait the entire night to dance with someone but they won't ask. Maybe it's just the demographic of mavs on college nights but it sure has changed. It's embarrassing. I'm going to spoke from now on.
