This area is exactly the reason we bought Whiskey River in the first place – I just love Gruene! I love the atmosphere, the shopping, the food, and all the live music. The history is amazing as well…the area was settled in the mid 1840s, and Gruene Hall is Texas’ oldest dance hall! Check out the website linked here, there’s always live music going on, and there are festivals all year. Everything is walkable from the condo, which is a huge benefit as parking and driving in Gruene can be a challenge – we’re just down the road!
