Hays City Store
Formerly a gas station serving breakfast and lunch, Driftwood’s Hays City Store (8989 Ranch to Market Rd 150, Driftwood, TX 78619) has morphed into a popular full-service restaurant with pizza, brews, and more. More than 50 taps await beer drinkers who will go on a road trip through all of Texas’s cool towns from Blanco to Shiner via taste buds as the brews are from all around Texas.
They also serve wine and mixers, some of which are from Dripping Springs distilleries. Their Bloody Mary, for example, features Dripping Springs Vodka.
