SAN ANTONIO — Just Northeast of San Antonio is a small town you might just miss if you blink. Front and center of Gruene's Downtown is the historic Gruene Hall.
It's where country stars like George Strait and Lyle Lovett got their start, and what brings tourists and locals coming back to snap that perfect "Insta-worthy" picture, while enjoying live music.
Right next door is the Gristmil, one of the towns staples. The Guadalupe river runs through the restaurant so you can enjoy your meal next to Texas Hill country scenery.
If you want to pop over to the river, it's a quick walk! You can rent a tube and enjoy a perfect Texan summer day floating down the Guadalupe.
If dancing, tubing, or eating aren't on your agenda, no sweat. Pop on into the historic shops and sort through country memorabilia while snacking on some samples.
With so many things to do in such a small town, you'll never run out of ideas. It's no surprise Gruene is always a crowd pleaser.
