Living in 78737
Where to eat, drink, and gather.
Dripping Springs and the 78737 corridor have evolved into one of the strongest food and beverage destinations in the Hill Country. Wineries, breweries, distilleries, and a growing roster of restaurants give residents options without driving into Austin.
Duchman Family Winery, Solaro Estate, Driftwood Estate, Sandy Road Vineyards, and many more along the Texas Hill Country wine trail.
Jester King Brewery, Treaty Oak Distilling, Family Business Beer Co., and Garrison Brothers Distillery (in Hye) are all close.
The Salt Lick BBQ (Driftwood), Tillie's at Camp Lucy, Rolling in Thyme & Dough, Mazama Coffee, Trudy's, and a growing list along Mercer Street and Belterra Village.
The most common questions Kathleen hears about this topic.
Duchman Family Winery, Solaro Estate, Driftwood Estate, Sandy Road Vineyards, and many others on the Texas Hill Country wine trail are within 15 minutes of most 78737 neighborhoods.
Yes—Jester King Brewery, Family Business Beer Co., and several smaller operations all sit within 15–20 minutes of 78737.
The Salt Lick in Driftwood is the local icon. Multiple other strong BBQ options exist in the broader area.
Yes. Jester King is famously family-friendly with a farm and play areas. Many of the wineries and breweries welcome families. Mercer Street has casual restaurants too.
Tillie's at Camp Lucy is the primary fine dining option. Most upscale dining still requires a drive into Austin.
H-E-B at Belterra Village serves most 78737 neighborhoods. Additional H-E-B and Whole Foods options are along the 290 corridor toward Austin.
Yes—Mazama Coffee Co. (multiple locations), Hudson's on Mercer, and several others have become local hangouts.
Limited compared to central Austin. Most evening activity revolves around restaurants, wineries, and breweries rather than bars or clubs.
Not as often as you might think. The local scene has matured significantly, though Austin still has a much broader range.
