We came for drinks, now it was early but the young girl behind the bar was really out out she had…read moreto serve us. My friend had a glass that was cracked and she poured the drink into her previous drink and returned the glass to the bartender who almost wouldn't even take it then she washed it dried it and kept looking at it like we were lying. I think she put the glass back in use but am not certain. There is a smoking casino in the back and even though there is a door separating it's still incredibly strong of smoke. So it's quiet and then a mother person comes in an sits at the bar and all of the sudden the music is turned on at a very very loud volume, so unnecessary for the time of day or clientele. Needless to say we got up and left as soon as we paid the tab. As we were leaving out the back a woman unloading her car into the bar said thanks for coming in and have a great day. I guess it would have gone further if we had been greeted that way. I know it's a small town but there are other bars that have friendly employees so don't think we will endure the smoke for that service

This is the year for the Bastrop SUP CUP and the event is a 2 day SUP fest. All of the…read moreparticipants are great ambassadors of the sport and the attendees are super friendly. If you have an interest in SUP and want to talk shop, this is the place. Year over Year it has doubled in size but despite that, it doesn't feel crowded or "overly" sponsored. There is no fee to hang around and watch the races. My favorite is the obstacle course. Paddle around this, jump over the low bar, a race to the finish line was good fun to watch.

Not a bad place for Halloween...especially if you want to avoid the "door to door trick or…read moretreating". Took my 2 kiddos there last night and had a pretty good time. Lots of games (free), a bounce house slide (for a $2.00 unlimited all night pass), free hay rides (compliments of the Bastrop Fire Department), lots and lots of people and vendors. A good way to spend Halloween night. Its different, its fun. They have my vote! Over all: Free admission: WONDERFUL Amount of free activities: ENDLESS Duration: 4 hours Candy amount: (if you want it... A LOT) The amount of people volunteering their time for free... PRICELESS! Thanks Bastrop!

We parked right in front and there were several good angles to take photos of the old jail. Off to the side are the bathrooms. The main door is on the side up the ramp. Inside, there's a museum to the Heroes of Texas and the docent was very knowledgeable. There were displays dedicated to the various wars, the old prison wardens, and other related things like uniforms. There is even one cell left you can look at. It doesn't take very long but it's worth a look.

They are from Belize, but have lived in Texas for 19 years. Everything you see in the pictures was built by Bediko and his lovely wife. They started with a house and a metal building where he created his art. Next came 4 rooms for guests and lots of community space for the guests. A beautiful courtyard, an outdoor lounging area, and a small professional kitchen where the guests can cook if they so desire. They gave us a wonderful tour and told us about their lives. In fact, they had just sold the place, and are moving back to Belize soon. If you have ever been to a Chuy's restaurant, the metal artwork is done by Bediko! And the car trunk buffet servers are also built by Bediko! The man is SO incredibly talented. It was wonderful to meet them, and I wish them the best of luck back in Belize!
