Howard's

Legacy institution in Shiner is great for enjoying draft beers and watching a game. it's nothing fancy but it's worth a stop.

Great selections great staff great has fill up spot in Shiner Tx!Grab a cold beer and a local Howard's ball cap and enjoy the ride home knowing you just topped off at the coolest gas stop in Shiner and if you're lucky you'll meet the wonderful Howard himself. Cheers!

Such a cool slice of Americana. Peruse the dusty collection of VHS tapes for rent, order a generous pour of Shiner for just about $2, and relax on the outdoor patio among the regulars. Definitely worth a stop if you're out this way.

Howard's is such a cool Texas stop near shiner. The first time we came here was a suggestion from our tour guide at shiner brewery since they can't sell any shiner beer at the brewery. We pulled up and thought "surely this isn't the right place." But yes it is! Walk in to the front counter and you can order fresh shiner beer on tap right at the counter. They also have a cute little "Biergarten" in the back with seating and fans, where you can sit and enjoy your beer. Come in, grab a beer, and hang out for a while and enjoy a quirky little gas station.

Must stop. Have a beer and head out back. Popcorn was also brought out for our enjoyment. Orange and limes for our blue moon and dos exes. To extend this review I'll talk about the basketball goal and how they must have played basketball back here before they put the roof on.

Shiner, Texas........I was brought here by my coworker who lives in Shiner, Texas (population sub 4000). He assured me that going to Howard's was a glimpse into the local's lives in Shiner, Texas. Roll up to Howards - an unassuming gas station with mini mart, however, at the back of the store is the famous draft station.......mmmm.....let the beer flow. We grabbed a couple of pints in plastic cups and headed to the back of the station. I think the beers cost like $1.75 or $2 a beer for 16 oz of draft beer? Yeah.........it tastes so good when it hits your lips........I must say it certainly was a taste of life in Central Texas -- definitely not the "OC" -- truly 1500 miles away from LA/OC. There's cool signage of Shiner and Shiner Beers all over the place -- it has a very local, chill feel to it. You feel like you're drinking in someone's backyard..... Everyone knows (or has seen) everyone in the small town, and the beer drinkers head over to Howards for a couple of cold ones (or 6) and a smoke after work. (Minus 1 star for the smoking......yuck.....at least it's outside.)Howard's is definitely a must stop if you're in Shiner, Texas.

Cheap Pints....neat place to stop by and have a drink while you're in the area. Shiner Premium is my fav!

Where can you go to get gas,rent a dvd, get ice cream and a draft local Shiner beer. Hang out on the back patio with friends. Amazing !!!!

We always stop into Howard's when we're visiting Shiner TxReally Nice People live in Shiner Tx. The rear patio is where theyall hang out.

Awesome place for an ice cold Shiner beer on tap. Very unique place and I mean that in the best way possible.
