A Clean and Close Pub

The Barbershop is a no-frills beer and wine bar located in historic, downtown Dripping Springs, Tx. Our main focus revolves around Texas Craft Beer, but we carry options for all. Established in 2009, The Barbershop has become a favorite for locals to enjoy great beer and make new friends. We have live music every Saturday, and host a Pickers Circle every Sunday, for anyone who wants to get in on the action.

A brief history

Old timers chuckle at calling this building “the old barber shop,” but that’s what it was for the past quarter century. Our building started its life around November 1924 as a wooden and tin garage. In 1938, when it was owned by D.W. Crenshaw, it was given its rock exterior. The building served as a garage and gas station until around 1960. After that, it was not used commercially for most of the next 25 years when it was then remodeled and turned into a barber shop. As a point of interest, in 1937, Crenshaw and a mechanic who worked for him, James Farrell, bought the lot across the street from the then garage to build a movie theater. While it had its fits and starts, it was actually used as a movie theater for a bit. That is now the Wells Fargo building.
