Nice selection of craft beers and many wines. The beer was pricey for small town Texas. $5 for a draft pour is reasonable. $7-$8 is ridiculous! We had snacks at small restaurant next door (same ownership). Food was average tasting but again expensive for serving size. Seems big city pricing in small town venue.

Three of us shared a veggie pizza and it was good. Beer was ok (served in a can with no offer of cold mug and never offered a draft beer menu), but friends’ bar drink was not enjoyed due to odd taste in gin or tonic. Other drink request was a new one for the bartender who did come through with a drinkable concoction. Main problem was the very warm conditions which would have been more tolerable if seated under a fan or not seated by an outdoor entrance that was frequently used by employees. OK place for simple meal or drink only.

I found this place by accident looking for a place to have dinner. They do not serve food, but they do allow you to bring food with you. This is a great place to taste 50+ Texas craft beer and a large variety of wines. They offer beer by flights or the glass. What I really liked was the app they are using that tracks the beer they are serving and an estimate of how much is left in the keg. If only the app allowed you to make notes. I suggest that every beer traveler stop by for a few. There are beers from all across Texas and the varieties from lagers, IPAs, stouts, and ales can't be beat.

20+ different beers. Great atmosphere. Dogs, and kids welcome!
Plenty of toys for the kids.
Great little bar food restaurant next door. Give them your food order, and they'll bring it right to your table!

This by far was the worse experience my family and I have ever had at an estalsiment. First, when we walked in everything was okay and we got our first drinks promptly, but after that the service stopped. We had the red head bartender walk past us ten times without asking how we were doing or if we needed another drink. It got to the point where we had to ask another bartender for a drink and she stated that she couldn't serve drinks yet, and she got mad and rolled her eyes at us after me and my date stated talking to each other. After that, the red head finally asked if we needed another drink, so we said yes. Then another fifteen to twenty minutes went by and we were ignored again. So we finally asked the red head teenager if he could get us a bartender that could serve drinks, so we could get another. He told the bartender that we needed help and it went ignored, so I finally just asked another bartender if I could get another drink. Instead of helping us she just gave me the wine bottle and made me pour my own drink. While all this was happening, the red head bartender was cashing out another customer and my date overheard her talking about us to them, so we felt that to be disrespectful. So we paid our tab and left because the service was horrible. If I could have left a zero, I would have.

Let me start by saying this visit was our 3rd visit to Chupacabra. We arrived for the New Year Eve event they had (31 Dec 2017) and asked were can we seat with out full family and friends which we were 7 total so they told us that we could seat wherever we want to that was open so we proceeded to seat by the music setup. So my wife and her best friend went up to the wine counter to see if they have a Malbec we tasted last visit in Oct 2017 and she told the blonde lady which I cant remember her name that the Malbec was a winery that start with an "M" and the lady started to give her some attitude and stating that they didn't have any Malbec wine that started with that name. So my wife breathing deep start to ask her about Cabernet Savignon or something related to that line and she reply that they have too many Cab to tell her one but the waitress proceed to grab a bottle to have my wife to taste. So start pouring the wine for my wife not even explaining my wife anything about the like She was bother to serve my wife and her friend. My wife saw another Malbec in their display and asked the same waitress to taste it so again rude she moves forward to grab the wine so my wife can sample; keep in mind we were stationed in Europe for 7 years and know decently wine industry so she proceed to pour the Malbec into the same wine glass She used for the Cab tasting which those are 2 completely type of grapes and my wife told if she can at least clean the glass for her so she can taste the wine properly. She told my wife that she wasn't going to clean the wine glass and basically slide a clean glass of wine from one side of the bar top to where my wife was sampling. My wife got furious because She saw that the waitress was having more attention to a family across the bar that she was drinking with them than serving my wife that We were the customer and about to order 2 bottles of wine for Us. At the end one of the waiters came in a very decent guy and end up serving all the night because the waitress was super rude. So at one point when my wife told me that I went and talk to the waiter that was actually serving Us "amazing guy" to ask him if I can talk to the Manager that night or the supervisor and Guess what it was the same rude lady that basically disrespected my wife and slide the glass wine across the bar top because she didn't want to serve my wife and friend. I don't understand how a place like this that lives from the customer can have an employee that have such of bad service putting their name to the ground. After our 3rd visit is definitely the last one because we don't need to be treated that way; We are the consumer and without customers like us they will not survive. Definitely I will not recommend anyone to deal with this blonde lady that call herself supervisor. Find You another server or person that knows about wines and How to treat customer properly before You go to her. By The Way we end up leaving at 11pm did not want to be part of their event anymore and went to a bar behind them.

A group of myself and co-workers went to Chupacabra after work. The service was fantastic! It was only second to the beer selection. Knowledgeable and friendly bartenders are a rare occurrence in today's world, and Joy was exactly that! She gave us some great recommendations. We will for sure be coming back to try the rest of the selection!

Been coming here since they opened and I've never had bad service. The selection of beer is better than any place around and the wine is even more extensive. All of the staff does a great job, but I especially enjoy Megan as she always has a smile on her face and is very friendly. Don't pass this place up if you're in Salado.
