A Night on Weber Ranch’s Dallas Pour Tour, and Where to Drink It Now

FacebookInstagram

On Oct. 22, the team behind Weber Ranch, the vodka distilled from blue Weber agave up in Muenster, took a small group out on what it calls its Dallas Pour Tour. The night opened at sunset at Crown Block, up top at Reunion Tower, then moved downtown to Midnight Rambler beneath The Joule. The plan was to close it out with martinis and highballs at Shyboy Hi-Fi, the listening bar in the old bank vault at 1313 Main St. that CraveDFW wrote about this spring.

CraveDFW went along. During a taste test that evening, the agave vodka came across noticeably smoother than the corn and wheat vodkas most bars pour, which is the whole argument the brand is making.

You don’t need an invitation to run your own version. The Pour Tour also lives on the brand’s website as a city-by-city list of bars and restaurants pouring the vodka. Dallas has the longest list of any city on it, with 11 stops. Miami is next with eight.

CraveDFW checked the Dallas list against what those places are serving this fall. Some of the drinks named on the brand’s page have already rotated off, and a couple of new ones have taken their place. Below is where the vodka shows up on current menus and what to order when you get there.

First, a little about what’s in the glass. The agave is grown and first distilled in Jalisco. In Muenster it’s distilled again to 190 proof in copper pot and column stills, cut with water from the Trinity Aquifer and bottled at 80 proof. Master distiller Antonio Rodriguez ran production at Patrón before this. The distillery itself isn’t open to visitors yet, according to the company’s FAQ.

Round 2 Spirits, the Texas company behind the brand, was started by former Patrón executives, and Weber Ranch is still its only product. It launched in May 2024. This August it was named Best New Vodka at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

The 1902 on the label refers to the year French botanist Frédéric Albert Constantin Weber catalogued the agave species that carries his name.

Triumphs Espresso & Whiskey sits at 141 Manufacturing St., Suite 110, in the Design District. It’s a coffee shop in the morning and a whiskey and jazz room at night, with live jazz Wednesday through Saturday from 8 to 11 p.m. The Pour Tour page still lists the Mango Lasso and Monk’s Dream, but those were summer drinks.

The Weber Ranch cocktail on the fall menu is the Scarlet Aria, built with St. George spiced pear liqueur, cranberry, lime, ginger and cinnamon, then clarified and carbonated so it pours clear and bubbly. Triumphs runs full table service and asks guests to order through their server rather than at the bar. On busy jazz nights your server may put a 90-minute limit on the seat. Closed Sundays.

Over in Bishop Arts, Stock & Barrel at 316 W. Davis St. is on the list for a drink called the Paper Sun. That one’s gone. The current fall drink menu has a Frozen Winter Paloma made with Weber Ranch, cranberry and cinnamon. A paloma is normally a tequila drink, so this is about as clear a demonstration of what the brand is going for as you’ll find on the list.

Stock & Barrel serves dinner Tuesday through Saturday, plus brunch on Saturday. Happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Rebel & Rose at 2916 McKinney Ave. is the one stop where the brand’s page and the bar’s menu still agree. The Blackberry Mule is on the house cocktail list, Weber Ranch with lime and mint. This is a neighborhood bar with a full kitchen until midnight and its own dog menu, including a peanut butter pup cup and a bone-shaped birthday cake you have to order ahead.

Happy hour at Rebel & Rose is 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Friday, with house cocktails marked down. The bar opens at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends, and stays open until 2 a.m. every night.

Sueño opened at 6600 Snider Plaza, Suite 100, on June 10. It’s the second location for cousins Julio Pineda and Cristian Lujano, who started the original in Richardson in 2021. The Pour Tour names a cocktail called the Tlaolli, which isn’t on the fall menu.

Sueño’s cocktail list, designed by Cristian and Marco Lujano, leans almost entirely on tequila and mezcal. Weber Ranch is on the back bar next to Tito’s and Ketel One, so ask for it by name in a martini. There’s also Alma Agave, a small tequila lounge inside the restaurant, which is closed Monday and Tuesday.

The list also points to The Londoner at Mockingbird Station, Puerto Cocina & Bar on Riveredge Drive, Musume in the Arts District, Fortune House on Lower Greenville and Meridian at The Village. Meridian’s current drink menu doesn’t list Weber Ranch, and Midnight Rambler rewrites its menu every season. Ask the bartender before planning a night around a specific drink.

Weber Ranch says it will contact everyone who registers interest once the distillery on Weber Ranch Road opens for tours.
