Castro Novas - Lakeway

Love this place they have some of the best wings in Texas (yep I said that). Not fru fru wings just great wings and the onion rings are top five in America. Prove me wrong!

First things first: Castro 's formerly named Castro Nova is EXACTLY the same place. Has NOT moved, is NOT under new ownership, SAME interior ONLY a name change for whatever reason...so somebody created a new business listing on Yelp. Open until 2am 7 days a week, Castro 's is a bar/lounge/sometimes borderline club located in a strip mall the heart of Lakeway. You never know what to expect when visiting Castro 's, accept the cocktails are always poured with a heavy hand. Castro 's attracts a very diverse crowd for the area, with some locals serving as permanent fixtures, other patrons all ages and walks of life. There is a certain loungy (think a tad bit divish lounge) feel to Castro 's. Comfy leather sofas and chairs are gathered in the more quiet corners. There are two separate bar areas, nice pool tables, dart boards, a jukebox, several TVs, and clean restrooms (at least the ladies lol). Always fast and friendly service provided by the staff. I 'm not certain of Castro 's exact calendar of events; however, they do host karaoke on specific nights and have a DJ (the nights when it gets boots and boots clubish and is very loud so if you 're not in the mood... Weeknights are personal favorite times to stop in a little more tame than the weekends. Overall: A decent spot to grab a cocktail or brew, play some games, and engage in some interesting conversation...unless the DJ is shaking the walls. In that case, it 's your decision to decide if you can 't beat 'em, join 'em or bail. Either way, cheers! Notes: Full bar, inc. beer and wine. Smoking lounge/bar, both cigarettes and cigars. Castro 's has a decent selection of cigars for sale. If you are a petite person (i.e., shorter than maybe 5 '10 or so), be careful when stepping off the stools in front of the right side bar. They are unusually tall and falling off is never fun, no matter how many times you 've done it. : D

Drinks may be okay but went there for BBQ which is also offered. Food was way over spiced. Salty salty, Monosodiun Glutamate overload! We had swollen lips and dry mouth from terribly salty food!

Very nice place and even nicer people. It turned out our server was one of the owners and she seemed like a fun person. We will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu.

I have been coming to this place for a few years now and I loved it before all the changes! This place now has a great menu by Woah BBQ, they changed around the layout so much so there's more space to eat before heading to the other side of the bar to play free pool, golden tee, darts, and virtual bowling. They always take care of us and make this place feel like a quasi family. Come out here when sports start playing again, for trivia night, comedy nights, dart and pool tournaments, and even live music! Love this place.
