Football season is here…and so is the weekend! That means I’m out and about somewhere on the city streets enjoying the day as much as possible before sunset. By nightfall, I tend to hit the bars for happy hour with my sister, Miranda.

With football season in full swing, Miranda and I made arrangement’s to watch the Cowboy’s game at a local beer garden on the square in San Marcos, TX. Personally, I don’t care much for football, but I’m always down for drinks and good company. Our place of choice for the night was an outdoor sports bar with a surf and turf ambiance called, Louie’s Oyster House & Beer Garden.

Louie’s offers over 100 beers, along with a full bar and menu. However, the restaurant is family-friendly and offers an outdoor stage for live music and a playground for the kids. If crawfish is in season, the restaurant even hosts regular crawfish boils for the community.

Seafood is very prevalent on the menu here, but there are always other options for those who don’t eat fishy friends. Me being one of those people, I stuck to ordering one of their sides to snack on. The onion rings shown above are seasoned and battered with cajun spices that pair perfectly with a Deep Eddy Vodka soda or Dos Equis.

Next time you’re on the square and need a drink or some good fried food, stop by Louie’s and see what’s poppin’!

Cool brisk air sweeping in at 65 degrees, composed with the smell of firewood and christmas trees has finally caught wind and made it’s way to San Marcos, Texas.

A new season is always exciting because I get inspired when it comes to the wardrobe. There are so many opportunities to utilize last seasons finds with new ones. In other words, it’s time to get creative and put together something you’ll look captivating in!
