Rices Crossing, Texas .... Old Time "little country beer bar"

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Gwynn Teal Carpenter-Broker: Home and Hearth Realty (Austin)

No credit cards....bring real money!  That's right- at this little country beer bar you can't use that plastic money - gotta be real green currency or else you're out of luck.

Old Times - little country beer bar

Located at the cross roads of 1660 and FM 973 in the community of Rices Crossing near Austin, Texas, this is a throw back to yesteryears.  Founded in 1939 by the current owner's dad - sits in the middle of cotton country.

Cold Beer * Good Ice Tea * Great Tasty Juicy Burgers * Smoking Allowed

You just might hear "Jak Se Mas" as you walk through the door as this is Czech/German country.  And just what does that mean?  Loosely translated as "How are you doing?"

Enjoy these photos of this wonderful place and add it to your "bucket list" of things to do when you are in the Austin Texas area. 

Old Times- (512)365-9534....open W-F (11-3; 6-9)   Sat. (10-3)

I love these places too!  The burger taste like you made it at home - juicy and messy!  Put it on your list when you come to Austin.

Hi Gwen - sorry for the delay, somehow I missed this blog. This is such a cute place. We have a  place near Comfort that is like that; cash only and ring up your own stuff sometimes (if you are under 12).

I loved stopping at Old Times Bar at Rices Crossing, Tx for a juicy burger & a beer. Bring cash since they accept for plastic! The women's & men's restrooms have appropriate (before current controversy) pinup pictures on the walls. I found it by accident when I commuted to between Round Rock & Houston for work every weekend & week start on a shortcut. Willie Nelson is supposed to love it too.
