Devils River Whiskey Distillery

UPDATE: Three weeks ago Devil's River got a new Head Chef, and I am very encouraged about the future of the kitchen and food available. I have visited once each week since the new menu has come into place. The new chef smokes the brisket for the menu, and uses his personal recipe. It is really, really good. Try the sliders first, since that will tell you with the first bite that it is legit. I actually ordered the sliders the past two weeks and the quality was very, very good. The other item that came with the sliders is the chef's rendition of french fries..... PHENOMENAL. Thin planks, not crunchy, with salt and rosemary seasoning... Even typing this I want some more. I didn't need any sauce.. just plain was fine for me. Tonight I also tried the brisket fundido. It was okay, but not as a meal. I am looking forward to trying the diablo shrimp and grits the next time I visit. Oh, and I found my drink. the 'Devils in the Details.' Very nice rye, just a bit of berry on the back end and a fresh orange peel. My drink of choice for the past couple weeks. Give this place a chance! The work they have done has changed my review from a two star to four star, and the service has always been very good. Enjoy! __________________________________ Prior visit: Whiskey in the old fashioned was okay, but the rest of the old fashioned was out of proportion. If I wanted an orange peel and whiskey, the drink I got would have been perfect. Food: be very careful. A few excuses from the kitchen like…. We don’t have the signature pickled onions for our signature burger and we are totally out of sour cream so here’s the quesadilla with ranch. Also, this menu is SIGNIFICANTLY different than the one on the website. NONE of the food I wanted or received are currently on the website. AND, the kitchen was out of the French Dip (another item out of stock), on the website and local menu, and was really what I would have ordered. Service was great. Apologetic and offered a number of airplane bottles of whiskey to cover, but i didn't accept. I very much appreciated the quick offer knowing the kitchen wasn't working very well for me. Wings would be great if they were cooked a little more. As it was they felt a little ‘chewy’ and dissatisfying. The quesadilla was ordered was asada, an up charge, and what I got was more akin to seasoned ground beef. Pic attached. Better than Taco Bell, but not by much. Not a good first time here. I will def update this review if I decide to try again.

Local distillery that offers a nice selection of their whiskey. I find their low proof whiskey not only smooth without the burn but tasty. This location has a nice feel to it as you can see from the pictures. The staff is friendly and helpful. The have live music and a good play list when a fans is not there. The outside seating area is positioned well and catches a good breeze. If there is no breeze, there are an army of ceiling fans to keep the heat at bay. Their pour on the rocks is only $7. The price during happy hour is only $4.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere. Amazing caring staff and the owner is awesome. Came here on my anniversary and had a fantastic time. If I could give them 10 stars I would by far and away.

The bartender talked my wife into trying Cinnamon whiskey… and she isn’t a whiskey drinker, but tonight she is, she said it tastes like horchata. This isn’t our first time here, this is our fourth, but even then, we’ve always had the best service.. the live music is always great and a plus just to sit back and listen and vibe.

This place is awesome for a pre-night out date. The vibe here totally brings you back to simpler times. We got a whiskey flight, which was perfect for us since we don't always both drink whiskey.

First came here for a wedding pre-covid - super cool atmosphere. Second time was today. The whiskey is incredible smooth and we also got food which exceeded our expectations. Very cool place, super underrated. We will come back!

I recently attended a meeting event at Devil’s River Whiskey in San Antonio, and I was blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and taken care of — their professionalism and hospitality were top-notch. The facility itself is stunning, with a perfect blend of character, charm, and modern comfort. It was the ideal setting for our event, and everything was executed flawlessly. Now let’s talk about the whiskey — absolutely phenomenal. Truly some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Smooth, rich, and crafted with clear attention to detail. It was the highlight of the evening and left a lasting impression. Huge thanks to the entire team for making this event so memorable. I’ll definitely be returning — not just for the whiskey, but for the outstanding service and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Always a good time at Devil Distillery. Drinks are very tasty and on par every time. Bartenders are friendly and fast. Happy hour is even better!!!
