Treaty Oak Distilling

Dead dead dead no more restaurant and just heard under new management which does not look promising.The employees don't look happy and kind of depressed. Just sad.

Dropped by Treaty Oak Distillery on a Sunday. Parking here is free so that's nice. The employees here are full of energy and are helpful and nice. The restaurant is closed! There was 1 food truck but the food was NOT what we were looking for. They have a lovely location with lots of outdoor space, trees and picnic tables. They have a large space where you can sit drink and watch sports but it is not air conditioned, but it does have fans. It was a bit too hot for us so we went to the air conditioned space and enjoyed a nice flight. FYI, the bathrooms are outside. We also learned that the place has been sold so things will be changing.

I wasn't familiar with Treaty Oak Distilling prior to visiting last summer. We visited on a Saturday afternoon. When we arrived, we walked around the grounds and realized the only thing open was the Mercantile Bar. The Mercantile Bar is not very large and does not have much seating. The building did not have great air circulation so it was warm and stuffy. It was also miserably hot in the restrooms which are located in a separate area on the premises not too far from the Mercantile.There were a lot of people waiting to get drinks at the bar and there were only two bartenders working. The bartenders didn't seem to have any sense of urgency with making drinks. My friend and I waited at least 15 minutes before we were able to order. We almost left because of the long wait. When the bartender got to us, he apologized.Treaty Oak offers whiskey and gin. I ordered the Garden Rita which is a gin cocktail with cucumber, cilantro, lime, and simple. It was floral and the botanicals were prominent. It was a refreshing beverage, especially on a hot summer day. My friend had the Antique Gin Old Fashioned. As much as I love gin, I do not like Antique Gin so I didn't try his drink. We were able to share a table with some other patrons, but I would say half of the patrons were standing due to the limited seating.The parking lot and the walkways are made of huge gravel rocks. There were some ladies wearing heels that had a difficult time walking on the gravel. The gravel left a chalky residue on our shoes which was incredibly annoying.Treaty Oak has potential, but it wasn't as fun as another distillery that we visited earlier in the day. I wouldn't mind coming back to eat at Alice's, take a tour, or listen to some live music. If I visit again, it will definitely not be in the middle of the summer.

Treaty oak distilling is a super cute place! The big open fields with lots of flowers and gardens and a big play area for kiddos. They have lots of different buildings on property that serve different types of drinks and food. I absolutely love their mojito on tap! It is delicious!! Watch out though, they're strong ;)The service is pretty good, I've never had any issues with the staff. It can be confusing your first time there not knowing where to go to order drinks or food, some better signage would be helpful. I do find the prices at Treaty Oak to be a bit higher than the other distilleries in the area so I took a star away for that. I will review the restaurant on their separate Yelp! Page

5 stars for the location and atmosphere 4 stars for the drinks. All the cocktails are decent. 1 stars for the food: avoid ordering food here. Salty is the main theme here. There was barely any meat on the pork ribs. The beef jerky was extremely salty, it's not edible. All the pickles were not crunchy and again, too salty.

Loved this distillery tour! Learned about the process and got to try several of their products. The tour comes with a free drink too- score! The grounds are really nice and plenty of outside activities. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious and fresh! I would come back again!

Been wanting to check this place out since we first learned of it two summers ago. We finally got our chance today. It's been over a 100 outside so needless to say not much outside activity today. I'm sure on a nice out it would be crazy busy. Instead today we checked out the mercantile along with the restaurant on the grounds. While in the restaurant, we escaped the heat for good texas bbq. The brisket nachos were awesome enough that we had two. The pickled veggies along with the wedge salads were both healthy portions. The inside feel was your standard open restaurant. Nice length bar in it. The waitress was meh. Found out after further review of the receipt that we were mischarged for items we didn't receive. This waitress even asked me if I had order another for a drink she just simply never brought me. I guess the non-alcoholic ones weren't her priority. However, Brendan, Morgan and Alana were all great. If not for them I'd likely have not purchased as much as we did. I am not much of whiskey or bourbon girl. However the daydrinker was so smooth I'd buy a bottle for myself. The red handed along with their other choice were my favorites. However the old fashioned along with the peach julep in the flights were amazing. When purchasing a bottle to go such as myself make sure to specify if you want a 375ml or 750ml. I'd say the 750ml was def the better deal. We didn't come just for tastings. However I also got a chance to try to be gin which included as Alana called it a Texas holly basically. I typically feel like gin burns for awhile. However this one was botanical enough I would love it in a cocktail. Overall I feel this would be a great space for a rehearsal dinner if you are getting married locally or birthday party or just overall hangout with groups. There was plenty of space for live music outside. Dog friendly on leashes. Plenty of air conditioning too when escape the Texas heat.

Treaty Oak is a distillery offering whiskey and rum by the bottle or in a tasty drink paired with something delicious from their onsite restaurant. The sprawling property is best enjoyed when it's cool enough to be outside, complete with an enclosed childrens play scape, a stage that hosts live music, and the occasional artisan's market. While this is a popular place on the weekends, their property boasts plenty of parking and seating under the oak trees, or you can enjoy a distillery tour with a sip of one of their prized spirits. You'll want to sign up for their newsletter to see what musicians will be playing their outdoor stage, or if there are any special release products.

Pretty disappointing experience. We were visiting from Arizona and were looking forward to this stop. I had visited 3 years ago and thought the place was great. We visited on a Thursday in December - which is clearly off season for them. However, they were open so we thought things would be fine. The restaurant was "closed for a private event" which was clearly not the case. We were literally the only people on the grounds. For what it's worth I think they had a septic issue judging from the strong odor. Also several young people sitting around on their laptops. Chairs all put up on tables made it clear they were just not interested. Next we tried their merch shop. Which we were told would be opening soon. So we went for a cocktail at the shack they pointed us to. The staff at the bar were friendly and attentive and the cocktails were great. I just didn't love the music blaring rap that included the N word like a comma. Back to the merch shop - still not open. More young people on laptops sitting around. My suggestion to the management - please manage. A bunch of privileged kids who don't work wouldn't be the way I would want things done. Won't be back.

They were handing out generous samples and everyone from our group was impressed with the quality of all 3 of the spirits that we tasted. We also enjoyed their maple syrup. There is a lot of open space and there is a laid back vibe. This is a fun place to hang out with friends and bring visitors.
