If you can get a seat outside, you'll have a outstanding view of the river but sitting inside is also fun because of the historic building that it's located within. Good food and fun people watching. On a nice night (weekends) you can wait outside and listen to music.

Drinks & Nightlife
Historic and a LOT of fun. They have music most days and nights. If the weather is nice, we like to sit outside in the shade. Try and reserve a spot during their monthly Gospel Brunch - it's a special treat.

If you want to stay out later (Gruene closes at midnight), we like the Pour Haus. Great outdoor venue with live music. We normally take an Uber to/from this bar from the house.

Entertainment & Activities
In the summer, the thing to do is float on the river and cool off in the river. The Guadalupe is closest but the Comal is also fun and not too far.
