Waco
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Waco, Texas
Waco is home to Baylor University and has become a major tourism draw thanks to Chip and Joanna Gaines's Magnolia empire, and its bar scene has grown to match - BarFinder lists 96 venues, led by classic bars and sports bars with a strong cocktail bar and nightclub presence behind them. Downtown spots like Brazos Bar & Bistro and Austin's On The Avenue sit alongside a real wine bar and brewery scene. Waco is also the birthplace of Dr Pepper, giving the city's drinking culture an unusually deep claim to American beverage history even beyond its bars.
