  • SO ... WHAT IS THE GOOD LOT?
    So glad you asked! We are a family-friendly beer garden and food truck lot. We offer 24 options on tap, as well as wines and non-alcoholic beverages at our concession-style bar, located inside a pavilion-style building. Our shaded yard has picnic and fire pit tables, as well as a cornhole court and a kids' play area. Cornhole and yard jenga can be checked out at the bar. We have misters and fans for when it's hot, fire pits and heaters for when it's cold, free live music three nights a week, and just about anything else you need to sit and enjoy a few pints — responsibly! 🙂 Check out our Happenings page for weekly events!
  • PARKING. TELL ME ABOUT IT.
    We doubled our parking lot in spring 2022, bringing us to 86 spots total. On busy days, like Saturdays and events, you might circle around a few times before finding a spot, so we definitely recommend carpooling or walking when possible. Luckily, we are surrounded by neighborhoods with additional street parking, as well as some public spaces within a 5-10 minute walk. Note: Parking in front of TGL on W New Hope Dr is illegal and may result in a ticket. Please be mindful of city signs — the strip of land between the sidewalk and New Hope is managed by city of Cedar Park.
  • ARE Y'ALL KID-FRIENDLY?
    We don't call ourselves a family-friendly beer garden for nothin'! We have a play area in our fenced-in yard that is play at own risk. Kids tend to make friends with other kids at The Good Lot, which is cute to behold. For the enjoyment and safety of all, please be mindful. Supervise your kids and respect the space of others. Thank you!
  • CAN I OPEN A TAB?
    Yes, you can! 😎
  • DO Y'ALL HAVE LIVE MUSIC?
    Heck yes, and it's free! We have open mic every Wednesday starting at 6:00 PM, as well as free live music every Friday and Saturday night starting at 7 PM. Be sure to check our social media for the monthly lineup our, as well as our Eventbrite page for special event details.
  • DO Y'ALL HAVE MERCH OR GIFT CARDS?
    We have both! Check out our merch wall by the bar for what's in stock — all items available for purchase at the bar. Just ask one of our friendly staff.
  • I'M A STALL VENDOR OR FOOD TRUCK AND WOULD LIKE TO SELL MY GOODS AT TGL.
    Awesome! Please feel free to fill out our Vendor Inquiry Form on Google. For goods other than food, we only work directly with market organizers, e.g., Northside Plant Market.
  • I'M A MUSICIAN OR PART OF A BAND AND WANT TO PERFORM AT THE GOOD LOT.
    Sweet! Please feel free to fill out our Music Acts Form on Google. We receive a lot of submissions, so please be patient waiting for a response as we are a family-run business with limited staff to answer inquiries.
  • DOES THE GOOD LOT HAVE ANY RULES?
    As a privately-owned business, we have policies published here on the website, as well as on signage at The Good Lot. Please help us maintain a safe and clean space for all to enjoy.
  • DO Y'ALL ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD AND/OR DRINK?
    Absolutely not. If it wasn't purchased at The Good Lot or at one of the food trucks, it is not allowed inside the pavilion or out in the yard. We provide a free water and ice dispenser inside near the bar, with water cups. We do not allow: —Personal containers or cups —Water bottles —Ice chests or cooler bags —Outside meals or snacks The only exceptions to this policy are cake/cupcakes/cookies for celebrations, as well as kids' sippy cups. For any questions or clarification, please call, email, or ask staff on-site. We take this policy very seriously and may ask you to put outside food or drink away. Failure to comply with our policies may result in staff asking you to leave the premises.
  • DO Y'ALL ALLOW DOGS?
    YES! We are within a half mile walk from Cedar Bark Park. Just remember to keep watch and clean up after your pet(s). Trash bags are on the side of the building right outside the door to the yard. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed on same surfaces as food. So, no tabletop dancing, please! 😉 A water station with dog bowls is located inside the bar area.
  • DO Y'ALL DO PRIVATE EVENTS AND/OR LARGE PARTIES?
    Private event rentals are currently in the works. Stay tuned! For birthday parties and other smaller celebrations, though, it is first come, first served. Feel free to snag and hold a couple tables till the rest of your party arrives. Please remember that we are a family-owned business—not a public park. The Good Lot is for customers only. Allowed: • Cake or cupcakes for a celebration, the only exception to our "no outside containers, food, or drink" policy. • Some decorations, like table cloths, props, etc. NOT allowed: • Balloons • Confetti • Glitter • Large posters, stands, or signs • Explosives (You'd think this one could go without saying, but ...)
  • DO Y'ALL TAKE RESERVATIONS?
    We are first come, first served. If you have a larger party/celebration, best strategy is to have a few people get to TGL ahead of the rest of your crew to hold a couple tables. We also allow BYO chairs/blankets for the yard.
