Popular house options include Salt Lick BBQ Red and BBQ White blends. • BBQ Pairing: Since the adjacent Salt Lick BBQ is traditionally a BYOB (bring your own beverage) establishment, visitors frequently stop at the cellars to pick up wine or beer to enjoy with their meal. • Setting & Vibe: Features a shaded wrap-around patio, outdoor seating and picnic tables under giant live oak trees, a wine/beer deck, live country music, and a dog-friendly atmosphere (restricted to adults 21 and older).
