    Tucked away in San Marcos is a funky, eclectic tasting room with unique Mezcal and Vodka drinks. There was a live guitar player when I went and the vibe was chilled and laid back. I love a unique quirky experience and coming here filled that brief. The bartender was attentive and guided me toward flavor profiles I enjoy. I can't wait to come back

    What a delightful surprise! We drive down Devil's Backbone on our way from Driftwood to Canyon Lake just about every weekend, and we've been so curious about this new joint that popped up in the spring of this year just past the turn off from RR12, about a mile before the DB Tavern. Tonight we finally stopped at Senza Maeso ("without master") Tasting Room and I know we'll be back. You may have seen this unique gooseberry & herb-infused spirit for sale around Central Texas in places like Spec's and Total Wine, but to get the full experience, a visit to the tasting room is a must. Twin brothers Ryan and Jay Gitman have created the perfect cocktail bar experience for the Texas Hill Country. There's beautiful decor, a few witty nods to a fascination with outer space, a creative menu, and skilled mixologists behind the bar to serve these wonderfully complex but balanced adult beverages. We tasted samples of the delicious frozen watermelon coolie and the Senza Maeso spirit neat, what a trip. I think I've found a new favorite liquor for cocktails. It's slightly bitter, slightly tangy, slightly herbal, not like anything familiar. After the samples, I went for the Senza Julep, muddled as the bartender told us the story of the place. It had all my favorite notes in a cocktail and I savored every drop. My date ordered the smokey Visions of Mescal, another homerun drink reminiscent of a margarita on the rocks with a spicy salted rim. Never fear, if you aren't up for something too novel, they also offer cocktails made with their own brand of vodka, as well as a selection of wine and hard cider. For food, there are some imported potato chips behind the bar and a wood-fired pizza truck outside. Open Thu - Fri 1-9p Sat 12-9p Sun 12-8p HH, $3 off specialty cocktails, $6 frozens Mon all day Thu - Fri 1-5p

    Love this place! Cool funky retro vibe. Best hidden secret in hill country. Try the Pineapple 75 . The bartenders are always friendly.

    10/10 highly recommended to anyone passing through or local that hasn't stopped in! Bartender and atmosphere was perfect!

    Bar area

    This place is awesome. Didn't know what to expect, the outside looked simple but the inside is amazing. Their mixed drinks are great and the bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this place.

    12/10! My new favorite bar. So unique and sci fi inspired. Delicious drinks, kind staff, excited owners. The interior design is beautiful and I'm excited to see how amazing this place does. Will be back!

    This is a must on your next visit to the San Marcos area. The ambience is eclectic and fun. The staff are informative and friendly. Most of all, the cocktails are great! Senza Maeso liquor provides a unique spin on the flavor of traditional cocktails as well as their in house speciality designed cocktails. We tried the Quick Fix food truck, so yummy!

    Expresso Martini

    Very friendly staff, the bartender filled us in on their story as she was making our drinks. Atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. The expresso martini is next level!

The room was cozy and thoughtfully set up with a mini fridge (perfect for storing leftovers), a coffee and tea station, and an incredibly comfortable bed that made it hard to leave in the mornings. The bar and brunch alone are worth the visit. Everything we tried was amazing, but the stuffed French toast completely stole the show, hands down the best French toast I've ever had. We also ordered the tostadas, biscuits and gravy, and avocado toast, and every dish was full of flavor and beautifully done. The mimosas were just as impressive; I tried the guava mimosa for the first time and it was so refreshing and delicious. To top it all off, the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. Sometimes they have live music, and you can also head out back to relax by the fire, which really adds to the overall experience. It's peaceful, charming, and feels like the perfect escape. This is truly one of the best places to stay in Wimberley, and we can't wait to come back.
