Longleaf Craft Kitchen & Bar

Longleaf Craft Kitchen & Bar is named for the remarkable Longleaf Pine lining the walls of its restaurant and bar.

To save the building from demolition in San Marcos, it was taken apart board by board, and in the process the carpenter discovered newspapers from 1912 used as insulation in the walls. In 1996 it was put back together on the Wimberley Square.

Forests of Longleaf Pine once stretched from the Atlantic to Texas across the Southeastern United States, but today only small pockets are left. The tree can tolerate fire, withstand hurricane-force winds, and thrive in both wet and dry periods.
