Chances are, unless a friend has told you about the Warehouse, you probably haven't heard of it, even though it's been around for the last few years.
The Warehouse's creator and co-owner Lisa Biley Cedillo says that while it's been slow to catch on, residents seem to really enjoy the atmosphere and menu.
Set in the old T&P Warehouse on the corner of Pine and N. 1st, everything about The Warehouse is different from other Abilene hot spots. On Thursday you can catch a local DJ and on Friday nights there is usually live music, but those are the only two nights of the week that you can visit The Warehouse, because it's closed the rest of the week to accommodate private parties.
It's been dubbed "The Martini Bar" because of it's extensive martini menu (over 50 original creations, and a feature martini every weekend) but if you prefer something a little stronger they have a fully stocked bar and nearly 20 different types of beer to chose from.
So if you're looking for something different to do in town this weekend, for those 21 and up, The Warehouse is your chance to get away, without leaving the city limits.

The Warehouse is a great place, and a great escape from your typical Abilene, Bars and clubs. Great atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteI only wonder and hope that the owners are hearing/listening to their customers issues. THEY desperately need to have a Mixed drinks only line/Bar. If you go to the Warehouse and want to get a Beer, be prepared to stand in line for at least 10-15 minutes!!
I also believe the owners wanted the bar to catch on slow, as they never really advertise heavily. Good or bad, who knows? I do like that they seem to attract a civilized crowd.
Here is a comment from one of you frequent customers (me): Warehouse, open the other side of the bar for Beer only or Mixed drinks only!!!(I remember at one point you guys used the brick oven area as a beer bar).
I am sure if you asked your customers what the biggest complaint is with the bar it is the amount of time you have to wait for a Beer! Best wishes to ya
