The Perfect Place to Watch the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl

Looking for somewhere to watch the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl tonight? Or how about somewhere to see the Houston Texans begin their journey to the Super Bowl (hey, we can dream)? 🏈

Head to the north part of Main and visit 28 Songs Brewhouse + Kitchen!

With a wall of TV’s, it’s the perfect spot to see your favorite football team in the most exciting time of the year!

Oh, and let’s not forget the beer. đŸș 28 Songs has 28 taps . And of those, you can count on over 20 being their own house brewed beers.

That’s not only the largest selection of draft beer in town, but it’s also the most house-brewed beers you’ll find anywhere near here!

So give them a visit this weekend, watch some football, and tell them The Boerne Life sent you!

Mid-January is typically the slowest part of the year as far as events are concerned. But that doesn’t mean we can’t find something to keep you busy this weekend!

From volunteering at the Herff Farm Teaching Garden to diving into magical battles and romance at the Swords and Seductions Book Club, there’s things to do for everyone. You can also meet local author Elizabeth Thomas at The Boerne Bookshop or enjoy live jazz during Sunday lunch at Dodging Duck Brewhaus.
