Regulars rolling down State Highway 71 may have noticed a longtime neon glow missing from the Spicewood strip. La Cabaña Bar & Grill quietly served its last plates at its original dining room on Nov. 30, shuttering the Hill Country Tex-Mex hangout after more than 25 years at the same spot. The bar‑and‑grill, known for strong margaritas, bubbling queso, and no‑nonsense bar‑room service, is now dark while the owners work on a move they say will bring the restaurant back nearby in 2026.
Temporary closure and relocation plans
According to Community Impact, La Cabaña announced a temporary closure on Nov. 30 and told customers the team is "in the process of moving to a nearby location that will be announced soon." The outlet identifies Chip and Linda Holt as the owners and notes that the move is being treated as a relocation rather than a permanent shutdown, signaling more of a hiatus than a farewell.
How the business is listed online
The restaurant's own site still lays out menus, hours, and contact details tied to the familiar Spicewood address, underscoring its long run along the Hwy. 71 corridor, as per La Cabaña's website. Local listings and event calendars likewise continue to frame the spot as a neighborhood staple, a reminder of how deeply the place is woven into the area’s casual dining routine.
What comes next for fans
The Holts haven’t disclosed the new address yet, but they plan to announce the location soon and expect to reopen next year, as noted by Community Impact. Until then, loyal customers will have to wait for details on the grand reopening and any tweaks to the familiar Tex-Mex lineup.
