Leander’s Crystal Falls Golf Club has transformed its former snack bar into a full-service Irish pub and restaurant. The newly opened Cork & Barrel Pub celebrated its grand opening on March 19, 2025, bringing a fresh dining experience to the Leander community and golf course guests.
A New Culinary Experience in Leander
Cork & Barrel Pub, which also operates a popular location in Round Rock, combines “Irish flair with Texas fare,” creating a unique gastropub experience. The renovation was made possible through a partnership with RS3 Strategic Hospitality, a hospitality management company known for elevating dining experiences in sports venues and entertainment spaces.
“We look forward to introducing their exciting new concepts to both our golf course customers and the local community,” said Larry Werner, General Manager of Crystal Falls Golf Club, in the official press release.
What’s on the Menu?
The new pub offers a diverse selection of beer, wine, and spirits, including locally crafted brews, signature cocktails, and a range of premium whiskeys. Guests can enjoy a full menu of traditional pub fare, including:
- Burgers, Hot Dogs, and Salads – Perfect for a quick bite after a round of golf.
- Fish and Chips – A classic Irish dish featuring beer-battered cod with crispy fries.
- Shepherd’s Pie – A hearty and savory dish filled with ground beef, vegetables, and creamy mashed potatoes.
- Irish-Style Curry – A flavorful twist on curry infused with traditional Irish spices.
Cork & Barrel Pub also features Texas-inspired dishes that add a local touch to its Irish roots. Their commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients ensures every dish is packed with flavor and perfectly paired with their beverage offerings.
Signature Drinks and Unique Atmosphere
One of the highlights of the new location is the pub’s extensive selection of Irish whiskeys and handcrafted cocktails. Guests can also indulge in Cork & Barrel’s exclusive lineup of signature drinks, including creative takes on classic cocktails that highlight the best of Irish and Texas traditions.
The pub’s warm, inviting atmosphere is designed to provide a welcoming space where golf enthusiasts and locals alike can relax, unwind, and enjoy great food and drinks. The venue features a combination of indoor and outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a meal after a round of golf or to gather with friends and family.
