“An 1800s stage stop, now a bar with a speakeasy type vibe indoors and an outdoor dining area with its own bar and stage!. Food by food trucks was awesome. Staff friendly and attentive to your experience. Will come back to try the breakfast with the tacos and barrista most mornings.“

“Love the place great atmosphere“

“We love this place and are regulars here! The owners are sisters, and they are always so welcoming when we we come in. They know our drinks and have them ready for us as soon as we walk through the door! Best neighborhood bar and best ranch water in New Braunfels!“

“Awesome food and great atmosphere“

“Decent drinks including a very large selection of "martinis" (though they are pretty far from the classic formula). Lots of events each week going on so check their Facebook page. The music is a bit loud IMO; it can be really hard to hear someone right next to you if you're trying to talk.“

“Billy’s has the best live music and the owner is kind and takes care of his employees and musicians! Great atmosphere to guarantee a great time each and every time.“

“Best bar this side of the Comal River...“

“My husband and I decided to stop in for a Dessert Martini after our dinner/date night, we live in the area so why not! We loved the atmosphere, it's very relaxing and not wild and crazy. The bar is very clean and has a very nice Ambiance.
Our bartenders Lena and Bryson were Amazing and very Attentive! We are looking forward to trying every Martini on the menu! ?“

“I already love Double Scotts but recently they accommodated my networking group! Twice! They timed our lunch and offered so many options! Service by Trista was out of this world! She set up early and prepped for us so well, and thoughtfully! What a great place to support, meet up with, and enjoy!“

“Wasn't what I expected. I thought from the Facebook pics, it was a restaurant. It ended up being a bar and grill, but it didn't disappoint though. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The service was great, and my family had an awesome time. We now have a new hangout spot for my day off on Tuesdays.“

“Very rarely do I give recommendations, this is one of the few. You have to meet the bartender Logan, who is absurdly knowledgeable about every type of concoction and liquor. He is why I am writing this review. My gf is very particular, and seldom a drinker, she prefers sweet, fruity drinks, while this bar caters to business cocktails. Logan went out of his way to make her a passionfruit tiki drink with gin all while providing thorough history on the drinks and liquors being used. Good way to spend the evening in Gruene.“

“This is a great place and very friendly people“

“If you're lookin for a nice piano bar to sing along to some of the most classic songs, then this is the place you've been looking for. They have quite a large beer selection and despite how crowded it'll get on Friday and Saturday nights, I've never had to wait at the bar for more than 3 minutes to get a drink. If you're wanting a more laid back atmosphere, check it out during one of the week days as it might be a bit much for some folks during peak times. There's a courtyard out back if you need to get some air or just need to have a quick cig as well as two pool tables in the back. Definitely a good place to stop in during a bar crawl.“

“Passed by this bar randomly and decided to stop by right as they opened. Not only is Ms. Jennifer an amazing bartender but the energy and vibe of the bar is amazing. Definitely will be coming back. Favorite drink is the Pineapple Peach margarita. AND ORDER THE PIZZA!“

“Super chill vibe with live music and river access! This spot isn’t where ALL the old town Greune shops and resturants are (it’s located behind the GR on the other side) but super close to walk over to.I can’t wait to go back next time we are in “
