Phoenix Saloon

Interesting spot with a great history. Look it up before you go (first legal female alcohol service in TX and American chili powder first created here). There’s no longer a secret or hidden garden but you can still figure out where it was located. The jukebox selection is to die for and the history that piece could share would be fabulous to experience. Was able to find a vegetarian menu item too. We went during the day and you needed to go to the bar to order your food and drinks but all of the workers were polite and helpful. They also have live music on a very regular basis. Check out their social media for more details.

You're missing out if you haven't been here yet! The staff is amazing the music is superb the chili is out of this world! Bring your friends, bring your family, bring everyone you meet this is the place to be in New Braunfels!

This was a walk back into history, it's really reminiscent of a old time restaurant that has an old-time west bar in it. They got a couple of stages in there for live music. The food has a fairly small menu, but the burgers were incredible. As were the chili, It was something about the fries in the Chili covered fries that I don't know, did not love. But she loved it. So it's probably just me, but everything else was perfect. And Angel S waited on us and was absolutely, just as fun and cool as she could be AND very knowledgeable. Go read the history. The original Phoenix saloon. Was there in 1894 and is said to not only be the first in Texas to offer Bar service to women, but also they invented chili powder.!!!!! Prior to that, chili's had only been used fresh.. Angel and we had a good talk, give it a try. Right in the middle of downtown New Braunfels.. not far from the oldest Bakery in Texas ... wow.

We rolled through a couple of weeks ago and were not disappointed. First rate service, delicious food, laidback ambience, and the building and decor were wonderfully historic. We had the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. Crisp and savory! The burgers were AMAZING! Hats off to the chef!

The Phoenix Saloon was fabulous. The bar is beautiful and very clean and the atmosphere is wonderful. The bartender told me about the history of the bar, it was very interesting. The Customer Service was fantastic, very helpful and friendly. The food was amazing.

Great atmosphere and plenty of space. Definitely a music-focused venue with a solid drink selection. Perfect spot for enjoying live shows.

James Coney Island does a better chili dog. Chili was average. Service sucked. Kitchen staff friendly and helpful. Bar staff helpful. Ambience is rustic. Nice. Pet friendly.
