Let’s start with the basics! If you need a minor staple item, Ole Ingram Grocery is just a five mile drive into Ingram (call ahead for their hours). If you need a wider selection of items, HEB on Sydney Baker in Kerrville is the go-to. There is also a Walmart Supercenter in Kerrville.
If it’s the weekend, and especially in the summer, there’s often live music at the Hunt Store, a long-standing Hunt establishment (The Hunt Store is currently closed for rebuild after the flood). If you’re in town between Memorial Day and Labor Day, visit Crider’s Rodeo and Dancehall. Generations of locals and visitors have spent their Saturday nights there. A new addition to the area is on the loop in Ingram and conveniently named Down on the Loop. They have a selection of Texas wines and beer on tap and frequently have live music. If you feel like heading into Kerrville, Grape Juice has 20 beers on tap and a great wine selection. Pint and Plow is a local favorite brewery, as well as the new-ish Trailhead Beer Garden, located at the end of the Kerrville River Trail. The Arcadia in downtown Kerrville (and just a stone’s throw from Grape Juice) offers live music on a more national level. It’s been recently renovated to its former glory and worth the trip if you are into live music. Visit their websites for hours of operation.
