We come here for the live music when we see a band we think we might like. They make some good drinks and it's always a good vibe.

Elaborately decorated bar serving cocktails and shots built around the distillery's line of liquors, including whiskey, room, vodka, and moonshine. The great bartender was welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed a flight of flavored juices with moonshine and entertained ourselves with the wood and metal puzzles at the bar. Next we tried some of their wonderful cocktails, including a honey mule and frozen blackberry margarita. They also seek full bottles of their liquors. They have several tables inside and a covered patio out back with more tables and chairs.

This place was my favorite place in Bastrop for our vacation. Great drinks, cool atmosphere and very cool people. We were able to get a tour of the distillery. We will definitely be back. Thanks for having us!

Copper Shot Distillery is one of the most unique and inviting bars in Bastrop, located just east of Austin. Among its many standout features is the customizable Bloody Mary bar, where guests can enhance their cocktails with a wide array of garnishes—ranging from pickled vegetables to olives and an impressive lineup of hot sauces. Although the Bloody Mary isn’t always listed on the printed menu, ask for their “Bastrop Bloody”—a house-made cocktail crafted with their signature Sweet Potato Shine, Zing Zang® mix, Worcestershire, and a special garlic kick. Once you order, you’re free to personalize it using the garnish station tucked in the corner.
Beyond cocktails, Copper Shot also distills a range of flavored whiskeys using a fusion process—where ingredients like fruit, herbs, or spices are soaked directly in the finished spirit to infuse flavor. This method contrasts with adding ingredients during fermentation or distillation, which is generally discouraged—especially with delicate fruits like strawberries. The high heat of distillation destroys subtle berry aromas, and strawberries introduce wild yeasts and excess sugar that complicate the process.
Instead, post-distillation infusion is the preferred technique. Two common methods are: Maceration: Slice fresh strawberries and soak them in whiskey for several days in a sealed jar, then strain. Sweetened infusion: Add a bit of simple syrup to round out the flavor and reduce tartness. Copper Shot Distillery embraces this approach, offering bold and nuanced flavors in a relaxed, rustic setting.

Just okay, the drinks are overpriced and the staff can barely be bothered to serve us let along engage. The atmosphere is nice and the band was setting up as we were leaving.
I was googling for the best liquor bar around the area and found Copper Shot, great drinks and friendly staff! After a fun night, heading back to Elgin Colinas RV Park was the perfect way to unwind. Peaceful, well-maintained, and an amazing RV spot with affordable monthly rent at just $650 that includes all utilities, free Wi-Fi and free laundry. I'll be back
