What a great venue. This is an easy five stars place. The live music is on point. And Colin makes *excellent* espresso martinis.

I love this place but the cigar smoke is disgusting. One or two people can ruin it for all. Please discourage cigars!!

I'll admit the first time here I was not a fan. Bad vibe, bad crowd. Girlfriend could not get me to go back. There are a lot of reasons I left California for Texas and pretentious people were high on the list and the first time I came to this joint it gave me flashbacks. However since she has been successful to convince me to go and glad I did. Turns out my first try was an anomaly. Music has been excellent. Staff is good. Prices are a bit high but not too bad. I don't think they have food but the pizza place across the way is and I saw people bringing them in and villa didn't seem to care. Give it a shot and if it isn't your thing the first time don't be stubborn like me. Try it again. read more

Place is cute. Even though it was cold and rainy there was enough cover and outdoor heaters. Margaritas on the rocks were nice and tangy. THE BAND (Roughstock) WAS PHENOMENAL. The lead singer has the best voice. The guitarist was super. He did a solo set that was great. Will definitely come back to see them! read more

The Villa - Patio 10:30 pm on Friday - Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Love playing trivia on Tuesday night. Great drinks and entertaining. They always have a great music lineup

We came in at 10:50 pm and google maps said they close @ 12 am. As soon as we walked in we were told they were closed and already did last call. We were violently disappointed and basically turned away because they wanted to close on their on time. Super upset don't come here late I guess. read more

This place is fun!! Awesome vibe. Big indoors and out! Fun games outside. Big TVs. Nice bartenders, especially Kassie!! Trivia night on Tuesdays is pure clean fun and it's free. Highly recommend. read more

so i will say the music was fabulous & drinks were tasty. however, it did take 10+ min to get a drink. not the norm for this place so i'm just taking a star off. it seemed like there were many regulars and they may get to skip the line? just a heads up! read more

First-time visit and I'm sure we will be back as we now have kin living nearby. Service is stellar and the drinks are a strong pour. They do have a decent variety of local brews and some interesting wines by the glass. There is a nice comfy bar that you can belly up to and additional tables inside. The star is the spacious patio. There is not really a view off the back deck but there are TVs to catch a game. There is music and it varies from country to 80s to even salsa. All-in-all a cool venue that's a tad off the beaten path (read tourist ). read more

Ambience of the place is fantastic and incredibly cozy. Service is kind and down to earth, especially the Bartender, Zach. He's got the best mustache in the place, you'll know him when you see him. read more

The service here is best described as non existent. We walked inside & waited for the bartender to acknowledge us but she was too busy talking to what appeared to be friends of hers. We walked down from Grapevine (great selection of wine & friendly bartenders) to try this place out. We thought the outdoor patio area & live music would be nice. Needless to say, we left & ended up enjoying live music at a different establishment w friendly service. read more

The atmosphere is amazing here. The bartenders are top notch and go above and beyond. We came to watch Jamison play and we will def be back.

2 only because we have held so many events here and normally have great service with the guy bartender. today 06/25/2023 we went for bunch with friends, drinks came fast but the attitude from the bartenders was really unpleasant. We have always brought the kids and was never a problem till today when snarky loud comments were being made about us and our family. Even when we grabbed a trash can to clean up our mess a bartender came over and told us we needed to move it back immediately. This has never been my experience till today and makes me sad due to it being our go to spot for all events. We will make sure we know who is working from now on that is for sure. read more

Formally The Vineyard, this place took its former self up a notch when they started serving real spirits! Woo hoo!! It truly is a beautiful venue and I hope it thrives. Located in gorgeous Gruene. Come inside or out on the patio, have a cold beer, glad of wine or Old Fashioned and people watch. My favorite? Wednesday nights!! Three words: Zack. Walter. Band. Take advantage of these talented musicians. They play their own music and have a little fun taking special requests as well. Great place to bring groups. I brought some staff from the school I teach at and they can't wait to come back. Oh and it is family friendly!! Let the kids run around outside and drink away(responsibly of course). 9pm is the signal for the littles to go home. read more

The Villa - Zack Walther Band - Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Really nice place that seems a bit under rated to me. Has a nice patio with a spacious indoor area and a spectacular wine selection (obviously) with a full bar. Seems as though this place should have been way busier than it was for a Friday night which just means more room for you. :) I expect that this place will soon be discovered and be the hot spot to be at because the ambiance is chill, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the music when I went was excellent. If you're visiting the area and you find the wait times are ridiculously long for the better known places I'd re-route over here. Be aware that they do not serve food here but you can have it delivered so it's all good. Overall a quality spot that deserves more business for sure...definitely recommend! -McLovin read more

This place is very scenic and pretty. It's not too far from Gruene Hall and had great drinks. There is an indoor room and an outdoor patio. I was there to watch a native to Texas Rockabilly band. It rained while I was there and the most beautiful double rainbow appeared. I had a good whiskey sour there and a good time. read more

Been here a few times for different things. What it started off as is not what it is now. Its not quite a bar, nor music venue, not a nice function facility, no longer a vineyard tasting room...More like a place that opens it's doors, serves alcohol and people can come and do what they wish. Recent visit for a band playing on Sunday... Arrived a 4pm band playing outside, walked inside for a drink, ran into children running around , some type of retail event going on and remnants of a private birthday celebration.. Bar was not busy, five people behind it. Small selection of craft draft, assorted bottled and canned beers, liquor and some very overpriced average wines. Sports on the screens behind the bar.. Chilly evening, outdoor heaters not on, no table service outside, tables unbussed and dirty. Different crowds came and went inside and out... Young couples with glasses of wine and infants, teens and young adults walking in with food and plopping down to watch the football games inside, locals wandering in from across the lawn in their sweats and slippers to grab a drink, have a smoke and takeover any empty seat they could find and drag the tables and chairs together like it was their personal watering hole with band ! Too Much! The band was OK, Soul Sessions, a local act that needed some presentation polish with their appearance... especially the lead singer and keyboard player, not professional in appearance, if you want more work. Anyway, this venue needs to decide what it wants to be and refine it. Poorly managed , oversized community living room for Gruene locals to hang out in, I would not consider booking any function there.. read more

Wonderful Venue for any occasion! Thank you to the wonderful staff and bartenders for helping us have a fantastic networking event. Beautiful venue! Thank you all for your help. Our event was a huge success! read more

bartender had an attitude from the get-go. she was bitter about children even being present, making comments about how they were "losing her business" and "making her lose her hearing" and also commenting how people couldn't hear the band over the children playing. This was 7pm, mind you. Just to even hear this kind of talk was unprofessional to say the least, but on top of that, service was terrible. People were ignored or greeted with hostility. Sucks, cause this is a pretty place and I've loved our experiences in the past before this bartender. read more

Having a great girls weekend in Gruene until we walked in here. Bartender barely looked up and when asked about the "specialty cocktails" he told me that he couldn't make one right now. Well, grunted it at me is more accurate. He never asked if we wanted anything, never offered any help. We finally asked if we could order and he would just turn, pour and plop In front of who he assumed ordered the drink. Rolled his eyes when we said we would do one drink and move on.... wonder why we didn't want to stay longer! read more

This has become one of our favorite venues for great drinks reasonably priced and great local music. The staff is very friendly. This is a great place to just kick back. Highly recommend. read more

Had a staff Christmas party here and it was great. Had the semi private room and it worked out well. The bartender Aaron was great and took great care us. We had our own bar set up in the room. We catered food and although the staff was a little inexperienced with serving, it all turned out well. Jennifer was awesome helping me get set up, food catered and served and our own private bar. She also arranged the live music to be set up outside instead of in the main bar so my staff felt like we had our own personal entertainment. The staff and the weather helped make it the success it was and Jennifer and staff did a great job! Many thanks. Jason Georgetown read more

A great bar, has inside seating and a large outside seating which is great at this time,They sponsor some great bands that play normally on the weekends. Full beer selection including some craft beers on tap a great wine selection, And mixed drinks. Staff is always friendly and place is kept very clean. Current management been there a little over a year, show the reviews left in 2017 I feel or not fair anymore since management and staff has changed since then. read more

Hello. I feel like I should share the lack of safety that was taken by the employees here. No one was wearing a mask at all! Yes it was a concert outside on a patio, but inside the bar the bartenders and the bus boy were not wearing a mask at all. This really makes me uncomfortable that a business just didn't seem to care at all read more

A favorite spot for LIVE music and for drinks on the patio! You can even bring over Infernos pizza. Family friendly place too!

We used Villa at Gruene for our rehearsal dinner. Jen and her team at Villa at Gruene were AMAZING- the staff was flexible, friendly and they helped us make the rehearsal dinner a special extension of our wedding! We ordered catering through them from Cooper's BBQ, as well as the decor for the tables and the alcohol. Everything was affordable and unique and came together really nicely- the staff was so professional and let us make the venue our own! Whether you are using them for a rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, birthday or just going there for drinks, I'd definitely recommend Villa at Gruene for business! read more

Tony is a great bartender and there is live music 5 days a week. Very nice facility. If one needs food there's a pizza place across the street. read more

Good drink selection and happy hour specials, and lovely venue and scenery. I like their specialty cocktails and the live music is always good. We used to frequent this place (Wednesday night Ladies Night especially) before it went under new management and brought in different bartenders. These guys are unhelpful, unfriendly, and just a mood killer in general. I've had the same experience the last three or four times and now I'm just not going to go back anymore. When we'd walk to the bar to order they would just stare at us, not offering up a word or even a hint of a smile. Or sometimes not even look up, and ignore you altogether. Which is awkward when you're the only person at the bar. I'm not a chatty person but a friendly bartender is expected and appreciated. It's a wine bar in Gruene, not a biker bar in the Bronx. Act like it! read more

Beautiful patio and building, however that's all I can say that is good about this place. Service was absolutely horrible! We waited to be served while the bar tender text on his phone and stood next his register. No greeting and obviously was not interested in helping customers. read more

Great service, venue, and overall classy establishment and I have and will recommend this to anyone looking for a nice upscale bar.

This place is AMAZING! Great service! Great atmosphere! A wide selection of AMAZING wines and all the staff is super friendly. Ask for Aly, shes simply AMAZING! read more

Fun selection of old world wines, cool ice balls for craft cocktails and the best patio in Gruene. Also has to own parking -- a rarity in these parts. read more

Had high expectations for this place. Rather lackluster wine list. The "craft" beer selection is minuscule and meh. This facility is crying out for quality but the service, selection and quality misses the mark. read more

This bar is very spacious and fantastic decor would be great for meetings to weddings. And the craft cocktails are on point with there specialty ice balls. As a plus Aaron made me one of the best old fashioned that I have had in awhile read more

One of my favorite local places to go on a Wednesday night. Great country cover band. Beautiful setting.

Really poor service. Clearly the bartender didn't want to work today as there were only a couple of other people in there when our party of 5 walked in only to not be greeted or waited on. He was more interested in his phone. It's a shame as tge place looks great but wouldn't go back or recommend! read more

Had a great time at this venue. Great music, amazing food and Aly may have been the best bartender I've ever had!! Their Old fashioned may be the best in New Braunfels, but if you want a shot... two words... Aly Finale!!! Will definitely come back.... read more
