Cheatham Stree Warehouse: A San Marcos Emblem

Hello once more!

This week I went to a San Marcos emblem for the first time: Cheatham Street Warehouse! George Strait was discovered here, and JAB and Randy Rogers Band are avid entertainers, so it’s definitely a place to visit. Also, their happy hours prices are something you don’t want to miss out on. They’re Monday thru Friday 3-7:30, with a free show in the afternoon. Now that’s a deal! The venue is small, but has so much character, so I captured it’s story with a photo slideshow gallery for y’all today! I hope you enjoy!

Lucky Rabbit’s Foot?

Hey there gang!

I decided to continue my trend on the square from the last post and try a bar called Black Rabbit. I remember this one from my 21st birthday because all my friends said it was a tradition to sit upon the giant black rabbit statue. So obviously I did, and it made for a great picture, but some not-so-happy employees. But, that’s besides the point. This time I came to try a Moscow Mule.

Moscow Mules are now my favorite drink. Like hands down. I love this drink, and I LOVE the atmosphere of Black Rabbit.  A Moscow Mule is made out of vodka, “spicy” ginger beer and some lime juice. Luckily bars always have limes, so the juice was fresh! This drink was so refreshing and tangy and just all around delicious. I’m not kidding when I say I have found my new drink. The ginger beer adds a little kick, and you cannot taste an ounce of the vodka. The lime juice also helps add a little acidity and fruitiness to the drink. These are served, and must be served, in a copper mug otherwise the flavor won’t be the same and it won’t be as crisp and rich.

As I’m drinking my delicious Moscow Mule in a copper mug I walk to the back of the bar where a very wide assortment of arcade games are present. There is also 4 lanes of ski ball. Yep you guessed it: the only game your parents play at Chucky Cheese is available for free for drunk college kids. I mean this bar was so much fun. Not only did I try a new drink, but I got to play games for free and the bar was empty because I attended on a Monday. So my advice to get a Moscow Mule and warm up your ski ball arm for a great night at the Black Rabbit!

A Whole Street of Vodka!

Y’all I discovered a place that is literally named after vodka, and it has food!!! Vodka Street is a bar located on the square right next to Chimy’s, and Taxi’s bar is right below it. I didn’t get a chance to try the food this time, because this girl is broke as a joke. However, I did get to try a new kind of vodka that my sister recommended because she just so happens to be a bartender there! Kelsey, my sister/bar tender, introduced me to a new kind of vodka made here in Fredericksburg, Texas!

Enchanted Rock, as we all know, is a great park with hiking trails in Fredericksburg, TX. You can climb to the top of a really giant rock and feel like a superstar who also burned off all the calories she just drank in vodka…AKA me. I haven’t been to Fredericksburg in a while to be honest, so it was nice to see that the town is flourishing with vodka, and whiskey distilleries. It was also nice to get a little taste of what they have to offer. I hope to visit their distillery and get to try some new vodkas as well! Enchanted Rock Vodka comes in all different flavors, but they are all just as smooth and delicious.

Kelsey had me try the Enchanted Rock Peach mixed with sprite. I like to try flavored vodkas because it disguises from the alcohol taste. However, those whipped cream or fruit loop bottles are absolutely horrid, and should never be sold to anyone. Ever. This drink was fruity and carbonated, thanks to the sprite so it was actually quite refreshing! I enjoyed the quiet, yet tasteful peach flavor that the vodka brought through. I had never heard of peach vodka, so I was definitely skeptical at first, but I would definitely recommend this drink to anyone who wants a fruity, but not too sweet vodka refresher!

Vodka Street was also just as refreshing. It’s nicer to be there during the day rather than at night. For some reason I have never been to attracted to it whenever I choose to partake in square activities. I do wish to try the brunch next time, because I do hear that they make a delicious and diverse menu. The bar is decorated with creative artwork, cocktail table and bar chairs. It’s quaint, fun and cute! Definitely a place to try!
