New Braunfels
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in New Braunfels, Texas
New Braunfels, founded by German immigrants in the 1840s and still home to Gruene Hall, the oldest continually operating dance hall in Texas, has a bar scene led by classic bars and sports bars: BarFinder lists 113 venues here, with a real brewery, winery, and cocktail bar presence too. The city's reputation as a summer tubing destination along the Comal and Guadalupe rivers shows up in riverside spots, while Glass Half Full Taproom and Ott Haus Bar and Grille round out a growing craft scene. It's a Hill Country scene that blends German heritage, honky-tonk history, and river-tubing crowds.
