  1. A

    John T Floore's Country Store

    This terrific old bar and dance hall first opened in 1942 as a store run by a friend of Willie Nelson. (Willie used to play here nightly; the sign still says so.) Today at John T Floore's Country Store, whether in the outdoor stage yard or by the fire in the rustic building, this is the true way to hear Texas country music on a Friday or Saturday night. Bandera Rd is off Hwy 16.

    Esquire Tavern

    The Esquire Tavern is a 1933 speakeasy with a catwalk balcony perched high over the water. Come here for cheap drinks, colourful regulars and the longest bar in Texas (or so they claim). It's a local classic and a long-standing favourite - the real McCoy, if a little rough. A few tables on a rear balcony overlook the river far below.
