Iconic Music Venue & Nostalgic Dive Bar…read more If you are in the mood for a cold beer and great music, then take a scenic drive out to Devil's Backbone Tavern! It first operated as a stagecoach outpost & blacksmith shop. And it famously built the Tavern in Comal County during prohibition. It wasn't until the 1950s that a dance hall pavilion was added to the property. And while the tavern wasn't made famous through country songs, it remained a popular watering hole for the locals. Today, the new owners have helped revitalize the dance hall and brought about a renewed appreciation for this musical outpost. Some of the greatest singer/songwriters come to play at Devil's so be sure to check out the list of upcoming shows. So put Todd Snider in your playlist, check your GPS, and take a drive out to Fischer for a cold beer and great music! On a more personal note, I would love to see more listening room / storytelling type shows and album signing opportunities where artists can take advantage of the great acoustics and intimate space.

Upfront please know that this is a cash bar only, they allow smoking inside the bar and it is very…read moredusty but that's all part of its charm. I love a time capsule bar and this location delivers on all fronts. If you want a taste of real Honky Tonk culture, be sure to plan a stop at the Silver Dollar. Have cash on hand because this is a cash bar only, they do have ATM, but keep in mind, it charges $3.50 to withdraw plus whatever your bank will charge you. However, I have to say whatever the extra charges are, are well worth it to be able to enjoy a couple of beers in this historic bar that was called the Fox Hole in the 20s. This bar is located in a basement and keep in mind that they do allow smoking as the multiple ashtrays on the tables indicate. There is a desk with Hank Williams's name etched into it that was etched by Hank Williams himself as well as many other performers that have graced the stage here. The walls are adorned with photos of patrons and performers alike, as well as taxidermy and tasteful retro erotic art. This bar was featured in the movie titled Race with the Devil, and the proprietor Arkey Blues had a song featured in the classic horror film the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. These last two factoids attracted our Horror loving group to this location. So take out some cash, smoke em if you got em, and support this establishment to enjoy a little piece of Texas rough-and-tumble history.

I had never heard of this one and apparently, it's a thing and this thing is one with my fave... Liquor 43. I said "great, I do liquor 43 with my carajillos." I gave it a try and was sold. It was like a vanilla latte. Another positive besides fun people and great service, is the fact they do live music Thursday through Sunday. The bartendar who helped me both times was Zane, and this guy knows what he's doing. He's the guy who will help you with any questions or recommendations. This one is definitely worth going off the beaten path, and I will return soon.

I have met many friendly locals here, and had the honor of shooting some rounds with some pros around here. The service has always been pretty fast, and the prices are probably one of the best in town. The only issue is you will leave smelling like an ashtray. So not so sure on the ventilation system ... but willing to look the other way for the great vibes here. Also, watch out for the big pothole when you enter the parking lot and drive slowly to avoid car issues.The jams were on point and a wide variety of all genres. This is a great spot to chill on a Friday night if you're trying to avoid Main street and drunken "woo woo" girls.

This place was walking distance from our hotel and had a good reviews so we decided to check it out! Definitely a dive bar that's well known and visited by locals. This is not a touristy stop by any means and I am oh so appreciative it is not! Pools tables available. Drinks are served cold and the bartenders are amazing! It is smokey, so smoking may be permitted (not sure). Nothing fancy, a total dive, and just a great place to have a cold drink and watch the game or meet some locals. If you want a place that's low key, away from all the tourists places, with good drinks this is the place to visit.
