We had a great time here! The staff was friendly, the margaritas were solid, and the atmosphere was perfect for our bachelor party group. Definitely a fun spot to kick back with friends.

All around and excellent place. Drinks and bar in the building, ample seating on the patio and the lawn (picnic tables), and a large stage for entertainment. Food trucks on the lawn where the picnic tables are. Pizza and tacos. Oh My Pizza was hand made, meats were top quality, cheese was extra delicious, and the dough was delicious. Un Mundo tacos were authentic!!! Their taste was as flavorful a Brownsville taco. If you've eaten Brownsville tacos then you know how delicious they are. El pastor had great flavor with a blend of savory and sweet and the Barbados was moist and juicy. Highly recommend this location. 👍🏻👍🏻

Sorry but I was charged $9 for a regular domestic beer. Not reasonable. Happy hour is a joke . It's only $1 off overpriced drinks.

Such an amazing place. My four-week American road trip ended here, and wow, what warm-hearted people and atmosphere. I felt at home the second I walked through the door. Great music, events, and staff. Thank you for the unforgettable evenings! Warm regards, Bas 🇳🇱🇺🇸

Emma and myself first visited Willow Lake in late May or early June of 2024. I don't remember what drew us there that night, the Stratocrackers probably came and got us.

It took over a month after their opening on April 8 2024 (the day of the Total Solar Eclipse!) for us to discover Willow Lake, but you can't get us out of there now. It felt like home that very first night. They're so pet friendly! Chloe and Greg love Emma and all pets so much; Emma has become an absolute mascot at Willow.

Willow is usually populated by many colorful (and a few notorious) locals. You can find them at the Bullshit Corner of the bar (there’s a bronze plaque there).

The music is always outstanding and crowd pleasing. Usually free. The best tacos (daily) and pizza (weekends) in Wimberley are made available on site by Luise at Un Mundo de Sabor and Conner at Oh My Pizza Pie! Dig in! Super affordable, as are the drink specials (happy hour-$1 off everything 12-7 daily)

Chloe Zen Glasscock had a vision when she and Greg McBride acquired the property. Check out the painting by (and gifted by) local artist Tim Liebrock on the fireplace mantel of this historic house as it appeared to Tim (and many others) in about 2015! Chloe, her daughter Rennie, son Ezra, Greg and local artist Brandon Massey helped implement Chloe’s vision masterfully! Rennie also contributed much in the vision department (I’m sure those 3 guys contributed here, as well) of what became Willow Lake Watering Hole and Mercantile. The decor is perfectly (though eclectically) suited to the rustic surroundings that Chloe and crew accentuated and augmented. Brandon Massey and myself have art on those historic walls all the time, plus many others.

Every 4th Friday Willow Lake hosts what has become the desired destination point of the monthly Wimberley Art Crawl! Galleries and shops all over town stay open late, 5-8pm ,many with free snacks and drinks, some with live music. But the festivities really start at Willow Lake! With live music beginning at 7:30, face painting, glitter tattoos, spin art and a playground and snake pit (JK) for the kids! And lots of guest artists filling the yard with tents and booths…and the festivities go into the night….at Willow Lake! Emma and I are proud to have been welcomed into this absolute family. It’s become our home away from home! Make it yours!

The overall atmosphere is absolutely astounding! Stop depriving yourself of this excellent kid and pet friendly venue in the heart of Wimberley!
