Peterson’s at Round Rock Tavern

Not what we expected. Went there to see an 80s cover band that is quite popular and was surprised to learn how tiny this place was. All the tables (there were maybe 10) were already marked «reserved» which only left space at the bar which was already full. This was an hour and a half before the band went on. We planned to eat dinner there but there was nowhere to sit… we ended up leaving 5 minutes after our arrival (and after paying a $ 5 cover) to go eat at pluckers. We didn’t return. Sad because we were looking forward to it …

A lot of changes in 2015. They took out the drop ceiling, and did a complete makeover on the interior. Looks awesome! The house specialty is the Chicken Wings, which I heard they go thru more than 1500 lbs a week! Huge projection screen for fight nights.

If you’re a hoity toity fancy pants you’ll hate this place… It’s a hole in the wall. Good people, good burgers, cold beer.
What else can you ask for?

Dark, kind of a hole in the wall type of place. It could use a little upkeep, but I guess that’s part of its charm. :)

Don’t go here. Total dive and the prices are ridiculous.

Total dive bar with three drafts, bottles, and, well stock. Lots of gambling PC’s that pay out. According to BT (Bartender) the highest single pay out was $ 9400.00! There’s 3 rooms and a kitchen, also 2 pool tables, Texas Hold ‘em and Black Jack tables, which get attention on Friday nights, which happens to also be steak night. There is a stage for live music (on Saturday nights) and 2 dart boards. You will also find an Atm and cigarette machine. Yes, smoking is permitted. They have a kitchen which opens at 1700 daily. I have not sampled the food, but, BT assures me it is good. Apparently, the lady who cooks for them also has a catering business. I enjoyed my visit here, and, had to ask about the clientele. According to BT, the crowd is laid back and friendly, presenting in a non-​violent atmosphere. I can hang with that, just don’t like the second hand smoke. Much to my surprise they do have a non-​smoking room that has seven gambling machines. I am not much of a gambler. I am not the type who likes to give away his money, but, occasionally I will take a small chance. I bought a card from the BT and put $ 20 on it, which comes with a free $ every 24 hours, but, you must be present to earn it. I sat down and played my 20 bucks, and, won $ 60! So, I stopped. $ 40 profit, means I drink for free! I spent time at the bar and mingled with the customers who ranged from mid to late 30’s to 80’s. There were a couple cool biker dudes in there also. Overall, it had the atmosphere of a VFW. Being ex-​military, I can dig the groove. They open at 1100, not, 0100 as the sign states. This place is close, and, worth it if I get a hankering for an afternoon beer.
Be warned: Max pay out in a 24 hour period is $ 500.00 due to tax issues. So, if you win a couple grand, expect to have to return multiple times to collect.
