Grab a Pint at the Newly Opened Holman Draft Hall

April 2, 2018 by

A mix of exposed brick, iron elements, and rustic rough-hewn slats of wood creates an industrial-chic environment at Holman Draft Hall. From the wooden swings and firepits out on the brick patio to the plush velour couches and farmhouse-style chandeliers inside, each and every design component of the space has been handpicked for the sake of delighting your senses. Of course, the 100 beers on tap don't hurt, either.

Since Holman Draft Hall opened in January, customers have quickly caught on to its presence. They love the happy hour libations, and not just the beers, many of which are crafted right here in Texas. The bartenders also dole out unique frozen cocktails, like the Slippery Rabbit with Reyka Vodka, blueberry, lavender, cardamom, and lemon. Pair your chosen libation with one of the snacks, sammies, or "shareables," like the curry-golden raisin chicken wings or the fried green tomatoes.
