No food there unless it has an event and a food truck. It is an old Honky tonk with lots of character and history. Fun dance hall with lots of friendly people. We listened to a good band.

We love Devil’s Backbone Tavern! Just a chill dive bar with great staff, cheap drinks, shuffleboard and one of the best sounding music rooms in the Hill Country. Ben Foster runs the Songwriter’s Night on Mondays and host great artists from near and far. If you’re looking for a classic Texas experience stop on by and say hi.

Great dive bar. There’s the concert ‘hall’ and the small bar.
When we went at 8:30pm on a Saturday night, a country artist was playing – it was $25 to get in, but you could have gone in the bar area for free.

5 stars for the tavern/venue. 1 star for the seating/general admission. Who ever came up with that should be flogged. We were so excited to see one of our favorites, American Aquarium, at Devil’s backbone. Hadn’t been there since the late 90s and this was a big deal for us. We bought front row table seats for 150.00 and couldn’t wait to see and hear our beloved BJ Barham. From the photos you can see what we thought we purchased and our views of the stage. General admission was standing in front of us the entire time and management could care less. The ticket chart shows general admin in the back. AA never disappoints so we “listened” to a great show. Beware when buying tickets and what you think you’re going to see is not the same.

A Saturday afternoon ride in the Texas Hill Country along a road known as The Devil’s Backbone because of its winding roads. It is popular among motorcycle riders along with its iconic dive bar and tavern. We made the trip with a stop at the tavern that often features live concerts and music.

They don’t have food per se, there are food trucks at times. They also have live music on weekends. You can feel the the vibes of many years of people engaging in friendship and camaraderie that definitely creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

We camped near the tavern and were thrilled to see they had live music on Saturday afternoons. The inside seemed small. Dollar bills stapled to the walls and ceiling. We followed others to a door (covered by dollars so it was difficult to see) into a large dancehall room!
Chairs on the front sides of the stage are old movie theater seats. So comfy! The musicians put on a great show. People were dancing and cheering and singing along. Who would have thought it was afternoon. The drinks were good, not cheap, but the place is a work in progress. Musicians do all the upkeep and updating and they are working on a shoestring.
We didn’t eat there but they do have a food truck on Saturdays.
Bathroom is small and odd, but it gets the job done. People were all friendly and having a great time.
Support this place if you are in the neighborhood–or go for a drive and visit anyway!

Took a ride on back roads from Bandera to Devils Backbone Tavern. Heard about this place in an article on dive bars worth visiting. It is a very cool place with a nice outdoor area and a huge dance hall. This place and the staff were very much worth the ride to get here. I hope we get the chance to visit one more time before we go back home.

Great dive bar. Nice space for live music. It’s very rustic, and worn. But has a lot of feel to it. Expect to find bikers.

My favorite bar, no doubt.
This was the first tavern I ever went to, and it quickly became my go-to spot. The drinks are amazing, the atmosphere is just right to relax and unwind. Every now and then, I sneak away for a quick drink here before heading home. It always makes me feel good.
I absolutely love this place!
