Phoenix Saloon
Kick things off with a visit to the Phoenix Saloon, one of the oldest and most iconic bars in New Braunfels. Established in 1871, this legendary establishment is renowned for its chili – in fact, it’s where chili powder was invented! But did you know that the Phoenix Saloon is also famous for its burgers? According to Texas Monthly, this historic bar brews up some of the best burgers in the state. Prohibition closed the Phoenix Saloon in 1918, but for a couple more years, the basement served as an illicit brewery, with tunnels cut to run the drink out under the streets of downtown. After an intensive two-year renovation, the Phoenix Saloon became a historic Texas bar, chili parlor, and live music venue in March 2010. The building’s unique history as the birthplace of chili powder makes it a must-visit destination on any trip to New Braunfels.
