This is in Marfa, but is a great little dive bar. Also a great place to have a beer and meet local marfans, and see some life music or VJ Mellowarms showing some rad music videos. They have a great outdoor area and have fires going in the winter. DOG FRIENDLY

Probably the most historic bar in west texas...at least in alpine. It's not as "cool" as it used to be back in the day, but still a great spot to check out. They have food trucks outside, also! Most bars are in walking distance from each other so feel free to bar hop!

I would highly recommend their green curry or Tom ka (probably spelled that wrong). Their soup/curry dishes are incredible. And he will make them as spicy as you want.

This is a great place to go to learn about alpine and the surrounding area’s history. It doesn’t take long and is free! It’s on Sul Ross campus. Also, drive around in those old neighborhoods around campus, there are some really neat old homes.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Check their website to see the days they offer star parties, and get your tickets in advance. They aren't very expensive and are totally worth it. Bring out your inner nerd and go see the best stars in Texas.

about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Alpine. Historic Terlingua ghost town is worth the drive. Surrounded by the stunning Chisos and Christmas mountains and funky individuals. Go have a beer on "the porch" at the Starlight Theater while you wait and have a gourmet burger or a prickly pear marg. Gateway into Big Bend National park and Big Big State park. Take a drive from Terlingua down the River Road, one of the most scenic drives in Texas.
