My husband and I always make plans to stop by Luckenbach whenever we are in the area. The place is very relaxing and people are friendly. Sitting and listening to the various musicians in the pickers circle or the occasional live bands keep us entertained. The old dance hall has great shows on the weekends. We love it so much we bought a brick that was placed on their patio.
This is a fun little diversion while driving around the Texas Hill country. It's nice to grab a cold beer and just sit outside people watching. There might be someone playing music and/or singing, you just never know. There are plenty of quirky photo opportunities and its fun just to look around for a little bit. Kids are welcome. Limited food options.
Nice place to spend a night with friends or lonely enjoying live music. I would be there more often if I could.
Took a run by here on our way to Fredericksburg. Interesting little store and old time dance hall. Pleasant out door seating under some shade trees. Not a lot to do but if you are in the area worth a run by.
Arrived on a Saturday afternoon. A band from Austin was playing at the outdoor stage. We sat and listened and had a couple of ice cold beers. Now this is what Texas is all about. General store has a lot of souvenirs for sale, but it was a little too crowded to spend much time looking around. Well worth the trip to see what Waylon and Willie were singing about.
This was not our first trip to Luckenbach, but it was the first time we've been during a weekday. Totally surprised at the number of people drinking cold beer and listing to visiting artists strumming their guitars and singing country music, some of the songs written by the singer. The audience was young and old, male and female, and just enjoying a nice afternoon under the oak trees. Proud roosters tried their best to keep time with the music, but their efforts only resulted in a half dozen or so roosters in competition for who could crow the loudest. Actually some of the most healthy, attractive roosters I have ever seen. I tried to befriend one, but he wanted nothing to do with me.
We loved this little town! Great pulled pork sandwiches and jalapeño poppers... Live music all day long...grabbed a beer and a picnic table and listened to some live music... Super cool post office and general store! Everyone was friendly and having a good time.... Can't wait to go back, would be even more awesome during a festival!
So I finally know what the song was about. It's worth a stop, if you're in the neighborhood, to have a beverage or watch a jam session. BEWARE:many with no talent show up and play or sing also. Kind of part of the attraction.
Check this off the bucket list. Amazing time with the kids listening to some authentic country music outback. The store was a lot of fun as well. If you're in the area it's definitely worth the drive
We were staying in Fredericksburg, so we could not be this close and not stop. Population of 3 - yes, 3. General store/post office is attached to the bar - so convenient. We visited right at 9 AM, opening time. Found some souvenirs to remember our visit - shot glasses, refrigerator magnets and some nice turquoise/amber earrings. Bartender was from my home state. Dance hall is right across the street - I'm sure it is packed when there is music. Everyone was very friendly, down to earth. Thank you Willie, Waylon and the boys!
