We are an award-winning Texas winery, craft brewery, and kitchen. We are family and pet friendly. Join us for this long-standing McDade tradition!
The Thursday Night Jeffersons are a mostly unrehearsed collection of misfit rock stars, many who’ve never wanted to be on stage, but have persisted in the quest not to squelch the dreams of the real musicians. After 20 years of Austin, TX, fireside jams, a group stumbled to the stage to create and share their original songs for y’all to enjoy. You’ll have as much fun listening as they do playing.
Grab a bite to eat from our kitchen and relax with a cold glass of beer or award-winning wine and enjoy this performance on our stage!
