    This spot completely caught me off guard, in the best way. Tucked into Gruene, it delivers a…read morecocktail experience that honestly rivals (and outshines) a lot of what i get back home in Austin. The drinks are the star here. Creative without being overdone, and clearly built with intention. I went for the Old Fashioned flight, which featured bourbon, rye, mezcal, and rum variations (they let me tailor it to my spirit interests) each one distinct, balanced, and actually worth slowing down to compare. It's not just a gimmick; it's a thoughtful way to showcase how versatile a single cocktail can be. Service matched the quality of the drinks as they were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without feeling forced. You can tell they care about what they're serving. The vibe is what really seals it. Lively but not chaotic, polished but still relaxed. It feels like a place you can settle into, whether you're starting the night or lingering for one more round. Didn't expect to find one of the better cocktail bars in the area out here, but this one absolutely delivers...and then some.

    Gruene's Last Call is such a unique spot! The vibe is dim, cozy, and totally gives off speakeasy…read moreenergy. Every drink is handcrafted by the bartenders, and you can tell -- they're incredibly well-made, creative, and definitely stronger than what you'll get at most places. If you're looking for something different, elevated, and delicious, this place is absolutely worth checking out!

    If there were such a thing as a Michelin star experience for service and atmosphere, Austin Eaheart…read moreat Cowboys and Cadillacs Bar and Lounge in New Braunfels would be leading the charge. From the moment we were seated, Austin set the tone for the entire evening. Attentive, personable, funny, and effortlessly charming, he has a rare gift for connection. He keeps conversation flowing in the most natural way, making you feel like you've known him your whole life. What's even more impressive is how he balances this across all his tables, giving each guest the same level of attention and care. He reads the room perfectly, knowing when to engage, when to step back, and how to create a lighthearted, welcoming experience that feels completely personalized. Now, hold on to your cowboy hat and loosen that belt because the food absolutely delivers. The featured 34 oz Tomahawk steak dinner is nothing short of extraordinary. Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection, it will have you rethinking every steak you've ever had before. It is bold, rich, and unforgettable. The Cream Corn Crème Brûlée side dish is truly one of a kind. It perfectly blends the creamy, comforting texture of corn with that signature caramelized, crackable topping you expect from a classic crème brûlée. It was so incredible we ordered a second helping without hesitation. And then there's the Gilded Butter Cake. Honestly, it could easily be called something even more indulgent because it is that good. Sinfully delicious and completely irresistible, it somehow finds a way to make you forget how full you are. No matter how much you've eaten, you will make room for this dessert. It is in a league of its own. Hats off to the chef for an outstanding culinary experience. But as we all know, service can make or break a night, and Austin Eaheart absolutely elevates it. He was made to do this. His ability to connect, engage, and create an unforgettable experience sets him apart in every way. The only note I would add is about the initial arrival. When we first got there, we were asked to pay a cover charge for entry due to the rooftop bar and live music. Once we explained we were there for dinner, the charge was waived, but it did take away slightly from the elevated dining experience. When you're planning to spend a couple hundred dollars on a nice meal, being asked for a ten dollar per person cover at the door can feel a bit off-putting. That said, I am so glad we did not let that first impression turn us away. After taking our time and fully enjoying dinner, we eventually made our way upstairs later in the evening and were glad we checked it out. Dinner, service (Austin E.), and overall atmosphere completely made us forget about that initial moment. It would just be nice if there were a more seamless way to separate the dining entrance from the rooftop bar so guests coming in for dinner are not immediately met with a cover charge request. Overall, this was an incredible experience. Do yourself a favor and go. Ask for Austin E (they have a few Austin's but only one Austin Eaheart). You will leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

    Came out tonight to check the night life of New Brainfels…read more We had such a great time at the farmers Market, was curious what the bats we saw down town would be like. We came to Cowboys & Cadillacs as it seemed like a cool place to go. They have dinning inside. But outside roof top there is a huge stage, and big fire pit. The second level is more seating and a bar. A lot of people were out. A couple "brides to be" with their party were out too. The band was good. Ordered a blueberry mojito. Very nice. Also ordered their flat bread pizza. Loved the bbq sauce that was on it. And picked jalapeños. Great night over all.

You go way to the back and down a steep flight of stairs. My son, his wife, and I left my wife and grandbaby in the saloon and headed down. When you get down there, you are suddenly in a beautiful Tiki bar with so many amazing things to gawk at. It sort of felt like waking up in OZ. We were the first people there, so we got to sit at the bar and watch our drinks being made. They have about 15 or so different specialty tiki drinks. Each one comes in a particular piece of glassware. I don't know how the bartender keeps them straight. He was constantly pouring different things into a shaker. Then he would shake it and pour it into the glass that was already filled with crushed ice. One of the drinks even had a smoking cinnamon stick. My drink was really good. It was the Three Dots and a Dash. It came in a barrel and was decorated with a skull toothpick that had three cherries and a piece of pineapple to represent the dots and dash. It was super strong! I was ready to risk it all and go for another drink, but it had gotten packed inside the bar. We could tell the bartender was stressing. They really need two for times like that. My wife spends the night at my son's house in New Braunfels every Thursday to give them a date night. Evidently, this is where they always go. I can certainly see why!

This is not a place to have a quick drink, as the bartenders really craft the art of the cocktail you order (expect 15-20 min for 2 drinks). I would love to come back and try more!
