We have a really special food & beverage community in Lockhart, and we hope to continue growing it.

Kaye, a 13-year hospitality veteran, most recently served as Senior Beverage Manager for Restaurants at Eataly Dallas and was awarded Wine Spectator’s “Best Award of Excellence” in 2020 for the wine program she developed for The Capital Grille in Plano. Travis has been at the helm of the nationally acclaimed neighborhood bar, Nickel City, and its food trailer, Delray Cafe. Under his guidance, Nickel City quickly rose to become one of the top bar programs in the country, drumming up a slew of accolades including Esquire’s “Best Bars in America.” Most recently Travis opened the popular Old Pal Texas Tavern in the Historic Downtown Lockhart Square in May of 2021. Also on the team is Hospitality Specialist, Chicken (Kaye’s dog), known by the entire town and greets customers at the door.
