Celebrating New Year's Eve at The Railhouse on 12/31/2024 -this pic was taken outside on the patio
Rebecca R.

The Railhouse is a bar located in Kyle, TX that is the PERFECT place to check out because it doesn't cater to just ONE specific group of customers ie: country music crowd, hip-hop crowd, sports bar crowd, ect., ect. Instead, it caters to ALL of these customers, depending on the day of the week - check out the events calendar on their website. I definitely can see why The Railhouse is popular to so many people because these are just some of the February 2025 events listed on their calendar - * Kyle Karaoke * Ladies Night w/ Lady Versus * Super-bowl Watch Party w/ DJ 2DQ & Guest DJs * Thunderstruck: America's AC/DC Tribute Band * Crawfish Boil hosted by Texas Crab Company * Trivia Tuesdays * Viva La Fiesta * Friday Night Live with Dj 2DQ (my FAVORITE night! ) The Railhouse on a Friday night is where I go when I'm in the mood to "shake what my mama gave me" (IYKYK ;) because you are GUARANTEED to have a FUN time w/ DJ 2DQ, as the dj and him playing all the favorite old school, hip-hop, & R&B music! Because "sharing is definitely caring", here are a few more helpful tidbits & reasons why The Railhouse deserves this 5-star review: --- parking situation: huge private parking lot w/ plenty of parking spaces -- no cover charge on Fridays (not sure about any other days since I've only visited on a Friday) --- reasonably priced alcohol drinks! Who doesn't love getting to sip on a budget?! (Don't forget to show some love to your bartender :) -- very clean restrooms! Very much appreciated! -- plenty of seating both indoors and outside. On chilly nights they do have outdoor heaters on the covered patio See the pics & videos included in this review of our recent visits to The Railhouse on New Year's Eve 12.31.24 & Valentine's Day 2.14.25. Till next time! Rebecca

Went to the Can't We Try Freestyle music fest, had a good time for my first time at this place with the acceptance of one bartender, he was rude and cold. Ended the night, closed my tab and paid my bill, the following Tuesday, they tried to charge the same bill AGAIN! So I called my bank, disputed the duplicate charge, here we are Friday and they tried to process the payment AGAIN! Like who does that?!! So having to put a stop payment ON MY EXPENSE after paying a $170 bill is not cool. Nice place, for the most part and a good music vibe but untrustworthy and trust is a must for me. Won't be coming back here again.

Great find in Kyle with a variety of things to do outside or inside. Bars are in both places. Live music outside with a bar and a court to play something towards the back. I'm not sure but I was more focused on the band and grab a quick drink. Inside there was polka type music playing and big bar area. I went inside to use the washroom but had a couple friends go inside to check it out and it wasn't their vibe but they liked the AC. Maybe it's different on other nights but this was a Thursday. They could use some misters or fans outside was my only complaint because it was a bit hot in the humidity. There's a parking lot to park for free that goes the length of the outside part of the bar. It's a casual environment where you can wear shorts and T-shirt or something like that or dress more festive. The drinks are average priced and the food can be brought outside to sit on picnic tables. It's a nice vibe with friendly staff. The service can be a bit slow but there was only one bartender, so perhaps when it's more crowded, they have more staff. Also a nice touch is the water cooler and cups so you can hydrate self serve.

Great burgers! We've had a few and they're all good! Delicious homemade chips. Have not tried Wrap Godz yet.

The Railhouse survived the Great Pandemic and live music is back, both at their outdoor and indoor stages. The outdoor stage has the capacity and sound system for larger shows, and indoors is more basic club setting with a couple of nice full bars and a stage in the far corner. Four large screen TVs and the requisite neon bar signs adorn the walls. The building has a concrete floor and a metal roof, both of which give a clean feel but are fairly disastrous for acoustics. Nevertheless, kudos to their sound guy for making the indoor stage work, because they definitely bring in some good acts here that you don't want to miss. There are a few tables, and space to dance indoors, should the mood strike. There's a pleasant spacious feel, and several outdoor patio areas with seating. The outdoor stage also has an open area for dancing or standing closer to the stage, and an array of tables as well. Tickets are available online for their larger shows. Bartenders and other staff are friendly and on the ball, and food is available at two food trucks out back, tucked behind the main building and accessible from the outdoor stage area as well. The menu emphasis is on BBQ and sides, both of which have a home-prepared feel. See my photos of the current menus to get a more detailed idea of what is offered and pricing. I'd like to see some non-meat entree options, but none were offered currently. The Railhouse is situated right next to a very active train track (hence the name), but we only heard the passing rumble and horn when we were outside. Parking is available in their small private lot at the front. As the live music scene continues to be pushed out farther away from its origins, we're happy to have well-managed venues like this cropping up not too far outside the Austin city limits .

a stage with a band on it

The band I work with played here last night and we all had so much fun! The staff were awesome and super accommodating! When you first walk in, you think it's just another regular bar: pool tables, tvs, etc., but you step out of the back or side door and see that there's a huge outside area to explore. There is a spacious turf lawn out back with an outside bar, stage, multiple fire pits and a few food trucks that happen to serve incredible food! I picked up a pulled pork sandwich from Coursons BBQ and I highly recommend it. I knew absolutely no one there but everyone around me was so friendly and inviting, it was a nice change from the Austin bar scene. This place has such an awesome vibe and atmosphere, I'm so willing to make the hour drive to come hang out again!

This is a decent spot to hangout and grab a couple drinks with friends. They have an outdoor area where you can either sit at high tables or at the benches near the fire pits. They also have live music at the outdoor stage. Note that there are more drink selections in the inside bar. The outdoor bar is mostly beer and canned alcohol. Parking is limited and can get packed. Dog friendly. They also have food trucks.

Great friends at the Railhouse!
Justin M.

Dig this place. Plenty of room inside, the drinks are reasonable and cold. Out back is a killer section for live music. Great place to kick back and relax and the crowd seem like good people.

Joseph V.

This place rocks! Great food, DJs, and concerts! I recommend you come party here because there is always a party!

This place is down the street from my house and I have gone here a few times in the past few months. There is lots of parking, and a ton of space for guest to sit inside or outside. There are a few food trucks in the back to grab some food, and almost each time I have been there has been live music. Drinks are pretty average price, but they do have a happy hour during the week. I think this is the perfect place to grab a drink after work and chill with your friends!

Pretty awful queso

Not a fan, food was cold and service slow. In my opinion, there are many better places.

As we walked in, we were greeted by who I assume is the owner and she let us know there was a free table next to her. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us chips and salsa shortly after being sat. The chips and salsa were excellent and I, as usual, ate too much. The salsa had a good spice and great flavor and the chips were very crunchy and crispy (like fritos but airier). I ordered a small menudo and chilaquiles with green salsa and both were really good. The menudo had a ton of flavor, good spices, and the stomach pieces were cooked perfectly; super tender and no, sometimes off putting, lingering offal smells. The chilaquiles were also great and the green salsa was mild and refreshing, with excellent side of potatos and beans. I could not finish my food as I thought the small menudo would be like a small cup not a whole bowl. I had also filled up on chips and salsa and our waitress refilled it so I had even more. All in all, this is an excellent little local spot for some bold flavors and fresh food. The menu is quite large and I'm curious to come back and have some other foods (like chicken fried steak).

Came here for lunch around 3pm on a Saturday and were surprised this place was empty…read more We were greeted and seated right away. Server asked if we knew what we wanted but since it was our first time we asked for the menu & ordered 3 drinks: Mexican bottled coke, jarritos (pineapple) and Sangria (soda non alcoholic) We ordered 18 mini tacos and 2 cheese quesadillas. Total was: $57 (cash ONLY) - Al pastor: 5/5 for taste, flavor, presentation and amount of meat to taco ratio. Only thing sadly missing was fresh pineapple for topping. - Suadero (fajita): 2/5 it was nicely packed but sadly missed the mark on flavor and it was very dry. - Cabeza: 2/5 the cut of meat was good but missing flavor. - Chorizo: 3/5 the flavor was good but not great. - Cheese quesadillas: 4/5 the cheese was quality cheese but didn't actually melt at all. Once the food came out (10min) we were given 2 types of salsas: green guacamole and red with chile de arbol. I was only able to add a few drops of the red salsa so beware. Overall we really enjoyed the food, service and mainly the al pastor tacos. We'd come here again if we're ever in Kyle.

Staff is friendly very welcoming. however the only reason why it's getting a 1 star is because we…read moreorder our food which came out very quickly which isn't a complaint but the food and salsa had little to no flavor, the portion of the lime we received was very small portions had little to no juice when squeezed. i will most likely not return the only good thing was the Mexican coke. El personal es amable y muy acogedor. Sin embargo, la única razón por la que obtiene 1 estrella es porque pedimos nuestra comida que salió muy rápido, lo cual no es una queja, pero la comida y la salsa tenían poco o ningún sabor, la porción de limon que recibimos era muy pequeña, las porciones tenían poco o nada de jugo cuando se exprimían. Lo más probable es que no regrese, lo único bueno fue la Coca mexicana
