"Treaty Oak is one of the few local distilleries that actually produces a few different spirits—they do bourbon, rye, and gin. The first thing you’ll notice when you enter is the sheer size of the place. It’s wide enough to throw a football across (with plenty of room to spare), has a huge stage for live music, and large oak trees for ample shade on the 28-acre ranch. Try a flight if you want to get a sampling of their many spirits, or check out a cocktail like the Basil Blossom made with their gin, blossom syrup, grapefruit juice, and salt. When you want something more substantial to eat than some chips, their on-premises restaurant, Alice’s, has a stacked lineup of smoked meats and sides " - nicolai mccrary, anne cruz

"Among the Dripping Springs on-site restaurant’s varied menu is a short but smart one, which makes sense given that pitmaster Elias Vidal helped open Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ with his brother, Miguel Vidal. There’s brisket, pork in the form of pulled and spare ribs, and turkey; plus the smoked meats are available in Frito pie, sandwiches, and tacos. It’s also another later-night barbecue option. Takeout and outdoor/indoor dine-in services are available." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Christina Torres admires Treaty Oak’s Red Handed Whiskey Bourbon, noting its double barrel-ageing process and ready-to-drink old fashioneds." - Nadia Chaudhury
