The Filling Station Tap House just opened up next door to the Station Cafe occupying their original location. Housed in a converted gas station (hence the name) what this place lacks in space it makes up for in charm, character and conviviality. Walk in and you will feel like a regular, instantly—there’s no place to hide so you might as well be friendly and join in the conversations.

There’s 10 active tap handles with room for more, along with bottled beer and wine. The taps skew towards IPAs with a solid selection of Texas brews represented. Compared to the taps the bottled beers are pretty much run-of-the-mill.

You can bring in food from next door. It’s dog friendly, and there’s plenty of seating outdoors for those times when it’s pleasant outside (brutally hot summers excluded). They will stay open past 9 as long as there’s people (slow days they’ll close on time) and they’re not open on the weekends, yet. Rumor is there’s plans to start brewing and possibly offering growler fills.

I’m hooked--I visited two days in a row! Say hi to Jarvis!
