Alpine’s best go-to spot for great food and drinks, Alcove Social, is more than just a place to eat. Since opening in May 2023, we’ve brought a lively atmosphere to town. Beyond our expertly crafted cocktails and mouthwatering burgers, you’ll find weekly activities and live music on the weekends—the perfect soundtrack for a fun evening. We’re also family and pet friendly, making us the ideal place to gather.

We stopped here as a last hope for a meal before heading towards our destination. I am so glad we did. They make everything in house, all the syrups, bitters, everything. We had some of the non alcoholic sodas and they were delicious!!! I had the smoked salmon salad – highly recommend! The salmon was perfect and the size was just right for our lunch.
Our server was Sandy and she was very friendly and attentive.
The decor is artsy.
Definitely recommend!!

Came to Alpine for the weekend and came across Alcove Social. We ordered the flat iron cheeseburger, I added avocado and bacon to mine. With sweet potato waffle fries. Let me tell you when the burger and fries was perfectly cooked and the taste was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Are waitress was super sweet and made great recommendations for drink and food. To drink we had the Ranch Hand Old Fashioned, Spicy margarita and a Devils margarita, super delicious. Definitely a must recommended place in Alpine.

Atmosphere:
Stepping into the establishment, the music selection definitely set the tone and was just loud enough to enjoy but still able to communicate. I enjoyed all the decor as well as all the murals/artwork that was shown throughout the establishment.
Service:
The service was impeccable, from being greeted when entering the establishment to the moments that the server answering all the questions regarding menu items and recommendations. The presentation of the food was a plus as well.
Quality:
Everything that I had was very good and some flavors I have never experienced in a good way. Starting with drinks, one can never go wrong with an espresso martini and from the manager saying they make their own cold brew, made the drink that much better. Another drink that stood out the most was the Carajillo, I have never had one but the drink was full of flavor and the Mexican chocolate ice cubes were a great touch. The Flat Iron burger was so good that I finished it prior to eating the waffle fries.
Fili’s Fave:
What stood out for me was the passion that the owner/manager had for the establishment and the appreciation for staff that provided so much attention to detail when crafting the cocktails and meals.

Very enjoyable place with an eclectic menu and great staff. Kudos to Julianna and staff for being open every day through Christmas! Sandy is awesome at the bar. They were slammed at times, short staffed at times, patience was rewarded with great cocktails and excellent food. Dinner and a show was had by all, at the bar anyway. I recommend and will return.

Very much enjoyed our stop at the Alcove. We sat outside on the back patio which was dog friendly. The drinks are to die for, and a bit dangerous. The wrangler is just a perfect drink.

I don’t know why the high stars for this place. My family and I left and got sick afterwards. I could have went to a nice restraunt with my family for $320. We had appetizer of loaded fries ($20)- basically just hamburger meat and cheese, any add ons and it cost several more dollars. The $40 steak frites was almost inedible with all the gristle. Every other meal was at least $20+. $11 for a TINY slice of chocolate cake. Each drink cost more and more money it’s not refillable. My husbad had 5 beers or so and I have no clue how much they were but must have been outrageous. We had various other menu items for my other kids and the bill was $320!!! That’s crazy. The waitress was fine, no issues with her. No kids menu or at least it wasn’t offered to us.

Staying in Marfa and wanted to visit Alpine for lunch. We both had the Stargazer burger which was amazing! Also tried the house made vanilla soda, equally delicious! The service was really friendly and the atmosphere inviting. Definitely recommend while visiting Alp[ine, or just passing through.

The food was as amazing as our service, special thanks to Eero!!! We were worried we wouldn’t find anywhere open on a Sunday, but so glad we found the Alcove Social. Everyone was able to find something for their preference. Diablo loaded fries with truly amazing locally sourced beef brisket, single or double patty flat iron cheese burger, and for a simpler take a triple grilled cheese sandwich. Highly recommend if you’re passing through, you won’t be disappointed!

Just down the street from the Holland Hotel where we were staying. Awesome atmosphere with a definite West Texas vibe. They had trivia going on upstairs, but we just had dinner & drinks. A very tranquil outdoor area is out the back. We had a caprese to start and a burger plus the apple, Brie & fig jam sandwich…all very tasty! Eero was an excellent server, frequently checking on us. Only thing to be wary of, we got top shelf ritas that turned out to be VERY expensive. Our bad for not asking the price. Give it a try for sure…food, service and vibe are all top notch!
