Honky Tonk Festival TODAY!

With the rodeo wrapping up this weekend, skip the traffic, long lines and high prices, and come join us for all the fun and festivities during Tomball's Second Annual Honky Tonk Music Festival. Enjoy a full afternoon of live classic country tunes, dancing, street vendors and a kid zone! Did we mention free parking and admission? Don't forget to drop by The Empty Glass for beer on draft, a featured Sister Creek Vineyards wine tasting and to continue the two stepping with live music out on our patio 8-11 PM.

Our patio will be transforming into a watering hole oasis, with plenty of ice cold Karbach beer flowing on tap. Come relax with a frosty mug of Weisse Versa - a German Hefeweizen/Belgian Witbier hybrid, brewed with coriander and citrus peel, perfect for nice spring day! Feeling a little bolder? Let us fill your mug with Rodeo Clown. This double IPA packs a punch boasting a 9.5% alcohol content.

Then venture inside and taste through the five of the varietals this Texas winery has to offer. Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country since 1988, Sister Creek Vineyards has been producing award winning, barrel-aged European-style wines in their 1885 restored cotton gin for years. We currently carry their Chardonnay, Bordeaux-style red blend and Muscat Canelli - which we can barely keep in stock. We will also be tasting two more wines, their Pinot Noir and Merlot and we want to hear from you if we should pick them up permanently as well.

While the Honky Tonk Festival may end at 7 p.m., the good times are just getting started at The Empty Glass! Out on our newly expanded patio we'll have Duaine Hatfield and his guitar bringing you even more of country's hits, and throwing in some Eagles, Skynard and other classic rock favorites. Music starts at 8 p.m.
