Now open
Wish Kitchen + Bar
Central Texas business owner Mike Farr and his sons Bradley and Dylan Farr collaborated to open Wish Kitchen + Bar in downtown Liberty Hill. All menu items, except for baked goods like buns and tortillas, are made from scratch in-house, Mike Farr said. Additionally, the new spot has a full bar with cocktails, beer and wine. The theme for Wish Kitchen + Bar is centered around all things that people can wish upon, including dandelions, coins, eyelashes and ladybugs. Mike Farr said the theme came to him after seeing a shooting star from his back patio in Dripping Springs.
