BOERNE — Three local destinations — Cibolo Creek Brewing Company, Dog & Pony Grill, and The Kendall — took top honors in the fourth annual Texas Travel Awards.

Launched by the publishers of Austin Monthly, San Antonio Magazine and Texas Music, the awards were created to celebrate the top travel destinations and attractions across the Lone Star State.

The Kendall won Best Unique Lodging and Dog & Pony Grill was named Best Live Music Venue in the award’s small market category. Statewide honors went to Cibolo Creek Brewing Company for Best Brewery.

“Once again, it’s no surprise that several Boerne destinations are honored with such a prestigious award,” said Kristy Stark, assistant city manager. “We’ve always known we have the best entertainment, dining, lodging and brewery options in Texas, and it’s great to be recognized at this level.”

Here’s what the Texas Travel Awards said about each of the Boerne mainstays: Cibolo Creek Brewing Company: Boerne is quickly climbing the ranks in the craft brewery scene, and Cibolo Creek Brewing Company has become a community favorite in a big-time lineup found along the Hill Country Mile.

Known for approachable, true-to-style beers, family-owned Cibolo Creek offers a homey atmosphere where friends and families are welcomed for a good drink, a great meal and good old-fashioned conversation.

But beer is just the beginning at Cibolo Creek. Nestled in a historic home, you know right away it’s a comfortable and laid-back venue, with umbrella-covered tables in the front yard and a large, welcoming front porch swing just outside the front door. Not to mention a large backyard with lots of covered picnic tables for the whole gang.

Dog & Pony Grill: Push the pause button and kick back to enjoy a delicious meal and a great time at the Dog & Pony Grill.

On special occasions, holidays — or any occasion, for that matter — celebrate amazing nights of music with local Texas Hill Country artists as the stars shine brightly above the two-acre venue, which includes an outdoor dance floor, playscape, basketball court, and even an enclosed area for your furry friend.

Recent acts include Crowder, Vincent Neil Emerson, Cory Morrow, George Birge, Casey Donahew and more. Settle in for a relaxing time on the incredible covered deck while you enjoy a selection of artists and artistic stylings as live accompaniment.

Dog & Pony has something for every music lover, including large shows on the big stage, intimate shows on the covered deck, and always supports the community, hosting events with local schools, bands and non-profit groups.

The Kendall: The Kendall is a historic boutique hotel nestled on Boerne’s Hill Country Mile and is registered as both a National and Texas Historic Landmark.

The Kendall’s well-appointed charm can be found in every detail, with each suite featuring its own unique design and furnishings, while freestanding cabins, a carriage house and even a former chapel meld history and luxury into truly one-of-a-kind accommodations.

Just feet from the Cibolo Creek trailhead and adjacent to the Hill Country Mile, Boerne’s downtown shopping and dining district, The Kendall is truly the center of it all, and sure to become your favorite Texas stay.
