Treaty Oak Distilling, located on a 28-acre ranch off Fitzhugh Road in Dripping Springs, is undergoing changes this summer.

Among these include new hours and the closure of Alice's Restaurant in June. The space will now serve private events and as a seating area with bar service. To make up for food service change, food truck Buddy's BBQ and Crepes has been open onsite since late June.

General Manager Brett Engstrom said it was hard to keep the restaurant open for now and looks forward to making Treaty Oak a place for the Dripping Springs community with a "Hill Country vibe."
