Our Story

Hays City Store first opened in the early ’80’s as a gas station and convenience store at the intersection that was at one time the town of Hays City (1908).  The store was a blessing to area residents who were grateful to not have to drive to neighboring towns for gas and household essentials.  A café was added in the 90’s and folks loved their breakfast and lunch counter!

Fast forward to March 2015 –  a propitious chain of events, hard work, fate and good luck… Hays City Store re-opened as a full service restaurant and bar featuring scratch made Texas comfort food, hand crafted cocktails, and local – beers, spirits and wine.   The decision to keep the name “Hays City Store” was not difficult, as it had been known so for over 30 years.
