FROM THE editor

As we embark on our bar crawl-inspired edition, I find myself reflecting on the incredible evolution of Seguin's nightlife scene over the past decade. When I first arrived in Seguin in 2013, fresh-faced and ready to dive into my graphic designer role at The Seguin Gazette, the city's after-dark offerings were a far cry from what they are today.

Back then, I had heard whispers of Seguin's rowdy nightlife, and I painted a picture of a scene that was as mysterious as it was vibrant. But as the years passed, I watched as bars came and went, while others cemented themselves as essential destinations for locals and visitors alike.

Today, I'm thrilled to say that Seguin boasts a nightlife that's as diverse as it is dynamic. From cozy neighborhood pubs to lively dance clubs, there's something for everyone here. Whether you're in the mood for a laid-back evening with friends or a night of dancing until dawn, Seguin has it all.

In this edition of Seguin Magazine, we're celebrating the rich tapestry of our city's nightlife. Join us as we raise a glass to the bars and taverns that have become cornerstones of our community and toast to the vibrant energy that pulses through our streets after dark.

Grab your friends and put on your dancing shoes for a journey through Seguin's eclectic nightlife scene. Here's to the memories made, the friendships forged and the endless adventures that await.

The 1908 Speakeasy in Seguin Conjures Up Nostalgia with a Dash of Mystery and Magic

In Seguin, The 1908 isn't just another bar; it's a nod to the town's rich history of saloons and gathering spots with a modern twist. Jake Kozlowski and Pete Aguirre, the duo behind this venture, are more than business partners; they're great friends with a vision. They've taken their journey from running a mobile bar to creating a space that captures the essence of community, reminiscent of Seguin's historical taverns and saloons.

Local historian Erin Ghedi illuminates how Seguin's tradition of communal gathering places dates back centuries, evolving from simple cantinas to the sophisticated saloons of the 1800s.

“Wetting your whistle in a dusty ol’ Texas drinkery started way before the founding of Seguin,” she said. “In the mid-17th century, the Spanish were very skilled in making a form of brandy. Mexican cantinas sprung up anywhere there were thirsty men.”

Overtime, the cantinas evolved into something more, Ghedi said.

"Eventually, taverns and saloons grew to become more than just for drinking,” she said. “They were social gatherings to discuss the goings on in Texas. In the 1900’s, once Texas started heading into a state of normalcy, Seguin bars began serving wines, liquor, bottled beer, and cigars. By 1907 (one year before the building of the First State Bank of 1908), Seguin had thirteen saloons.”

Those establishments held their own until Prohibition shuttered their doors, Ghedi said. Many were hopeful they would make a return after prohibition was repealed in 1933, but it didn’t happen.

“Those saloons were replaced with inclusive establishments like pubs, lounges, and beer gardens,” she said. “ Several bars did prosper in Seguin such as Grolich’s, Feigerle’s, Imhoof’s, Klein’s, Muelder’s, Matamoras’ and Budd’s

saloon. Got to admit, the best part was women were now allowed to attend alongside a man in a drink or two.”

The 1908 aims to revive that communal spirit in a speakeasy setting, offering a unique blend of intrigue and excitement. The strong bond between the co-owners is at the core of the establishment's success. They've navigated the ups and downs of starting and running a business together, learning and growing along the way.

"There's never been a speakeasy [style bar] in Seguin before," Aguirre said.

Downtown Seguin’s newest night spot is in the historic building housing First National Bank. The building served as various other purposes over the years, including the county’s tax office.

"An interesting fact is the new 1908 bar is located on the exact same spot as the original Schultz’s Saloon before it burned to the ground," Ghedi said.

This full-circle moment underscores the deep historical roots of The 1908, making it more than just a bar or speakeasy; it's a continuation of a legacy.

The history highlights how The 1908 stands out in the local nightlife landscape. Since opening in November, Kozlowski and Aguirre have enjoyed hearing from guests and community members about how well-received their new business is.

But they're not stopping at The 1908 as it is. The pair have big plans for the future, including launching a sports bar on the upper floor of their downtown Seguin building and bringing a new vibe to the town’s social scene.

Additionally, a partnership with the Burnt Bean is in the works, promising to merge culinary excellence with the social atmosphere The 1908 is known for. This collaboration is about more than just business; it's about strengthening community ties and supporting local enterprises.

Kozlowski’s and Aguirre's approach to their ventures reflects a blend of respect for tradition with a drive for innovation. They're not just paying homage to Seguin's past; they're setting the stage for new traditions and ensuring that the spirit of speakeasies and

the fun that accompanies the nightlife scene continues to flourish in the town.

Their journey is not without its challenges, but their commitment to their vision and to each other is unwavering.

"You have to learn to grow together... we just get it done," Kozlowski said.

Both business partners said the building needed extensive renovations to create a beautiful atmosphere in their establishment. The transformation is truly astounding, especially in the lower portion of the historic building.

The downstairs speakeasy offers an intimate and stylish experience. The owners enhanced that with a unique members-only day on Sundays that includes personal lockers for storing special bottles. This innovative approach creates a sense of belonging among patrons and fosters a community within the speakeasy.

"It's all about the networking side of it...to be able to have something unique like that, people like that," Aguirre said.

The 1908’s decor adds layers of personal and historical depth to the ambiance. Artwork from Kozlowski’s brother adorns the walls, alongside historical photos that pay homage to the city’s past.

"It just means more...it's like home," Kozlowski said, emphasizing the personal connections and the effort to link the bar's aesthetic to its historical context.

As The 1908, the upcoming sports bar and the partnership with the Burnt Bean continue to take shape, Kozlowski’s and Aguirre's story is a testament to the power of friendship, the importance of community and the impact of innovative thinking in keeping local traditions alive and well.

In their partnership, the duo have found a rhythm that works. They understand and respect each other's preferences to the point where they can order for each other without missing a beat. "Corona Premiere for Pete," Kozlowski said, with Aguirre confirming, "And a Coors Light for Jake."

This small detail is a window into their close-knit relationship, a bond that is at the center of The 1908 and its speakeasy.

Crafting Community

Sips & Gulps Promotes Local Artists, Wineries, Vendors and Musicians

Adowntown Seguin establishment serves up a bit of artistry with each glass of wine.

Sips & Gulps is a charming wine bar with a relaxed, conversational atmosphere, a variety of local refreshments and a commitment to the community and its artists.

Owners Kelly Follis and Tim Shievelbein said it starts with a specially selected assortment of locally crafted wines, beers and light snacks. There's something for everyone.

The bar has both indoor and outdoor seating areas and is a perfect place for those looking to get out for the night but not interested in the typical noisy bar scene. Owner Follis and her partner, Shievelbein wanted to create a calm, comfortable space where people could gather and interact.

“I love seeing people come in and connect, you know, whether they know each other when they get here (or), sometimes, I mean many times, they don't,” said Follis. “People can come in, sit down with a friend, talk, enjoy a glass of wine or a good cold beer and feel at home,” Shievelbein said.

In addition to boasting a welcoming environment, Follis also had a vision for her business: to benefit the entire community.

“I wanted a place that could really support the community by working with our local wineries, artists, food trucks and musicians,” she said. “Our whole goal as a business was to collaborate with the community in a lot of different ways.”

The owners invite artists — visual, audio and culinary — to share their work with the community.

It starts with the bar's walls, which are adorned with art from what Follis likes to call “The artist in residence.”

“Every two months, we change artists and some of them I know their work and some of them I haven't seen before,” she said. “We do a reception for their opening, and they've been selling. I want to give artists a reason to make art and give people a place to absorb it.”

Follis started the program showcasing work from Robin Walker, Mary Cannon and Kelly Hallmark. Laura Dodson is currently showing her talents. Kaylee Loera is slated to follow in May and June.

“We invite artists from the community to come in and hang up their work, take whatever proceeds they were able to generate from their work and, in the meantime, I get some beautiful art decorating my walls,” she said. “People can come and look at them. So the

community gets to see art, I get to see art, artists get to benefit.”

The same goes for local musicians looking to share their musical and often acoustic talents with patrons, said Follis, who also chairs the Seguin Arts Commission.

“We usually have up-and-coming or established musicians who come here and play,” Follis said. “They can make a little money, and people can enjoy their art.”

The couple invites food trucks to share their culinary creations with guests, giving a third form of art to enjoy, Follis said.

“I really love art, and I think a good place to look at art is the kind of environment that we offer,” she said. “It is intellectually, artistically, creatively stimulating for the people who are looking and it offers artists a venue to display their work and to be inspired to create work they want to hang. Art isn’t supposed to be kept in a closet. They’re given a gift to share with the world, and we offer that.”

Art is known to stimulate minds and help people broaden their horizons. Sips & Gulps does just that, Follis said.

“When someone hears something they haven’t heard before or when they see a level of art they haven’t experienced before, it expands their intellect, it expands their desire to see an improved community,” she said. “It inspires the artist to keep creating. The more creativity you can foster in a community, the better the community is going to be. When people are creative and enjoying something artistic together, it overflows into all different aspects of the community, it fosters creativity in the minds of community members and that just helps open people up to something new and different.

Follis’ simple dream of opening a wine bar was brought to fruition through her determination and a lot of hard work.

“Honestly, Kelly does everything. I mean if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't be where we're at, and that's a fact.” Shievelbein said, praising his partner's efforts. Follis credited much of their success to their employees.

“They all have more experience than I do and they help me with such humility and gentleness I'd be lost without them.”

Country Dreamers

A Tale of 40 Years in the Texas Music Scene

JayEric Pfannstiel played trumpet in the New Braunfels High School band. He enjoyed music, but halftime shows at football games and band concerts didn’t satisfy the musical desire inside him. During his senior year in 1981, he decided to take up guitar and learn how to play some of his favorite country songs. Not long after that, his brother Matt Pfannstiel and friend Bruce Schwartz talked about forming a country western band. That was the venue his music passion was looking for.

Jay’s guitar skills were not ready for the performing stage yet, so he became the lead singer. With the addition of a few more friends, all New Braunfels residents, they decided to call themselves Blieders Creek, after the creek

that runs through the northwest quadrant of New Braunfels. Later that same year, they played their first gig for a wedding held at the American Legion Hall in New Braunfels. The group, officially named “Jay Eric and Blieders Creek,” was now legit.

During the 37 years the group was together, they performed all over Texas and New Mexico. They were regulars at many local venues such as Freiheit, Watering Hole, Pour Haus, Thirsty Horse, Anhault Dance Hall and Wurstfest. They are one of the few groups to have played at both the original Bluebonnet Palace and the current one. In addition, they were the opening act for over 50 different performers, including three times for George Strait.

As an established, popular local group, venue owners called on Blieders Creek to open for headline performers.

“We would be scheduled weeks in advance to open for a performer yet to be announced,” Jay said. “Often, we wouldn’t find out who we were opening for until the last minute.”

With hundreds of concerts in their rearview mirror, they have stories to tell. One time, as they were playing for a wedding reception and dance, a fight suddenly broke out on the dance floor, effectively ending the gig and the reception.

On another occasion, the ceiling above Jay collapsed.

“A water leak had softened the acoustical tile and, fortunately, we were on our last song when it decided to fall,” he said.

In 2020, Blieders Creek ended as the various members decided to do something else; however, Jay and Matt wanted to continue performing. So, with Bruce Schwartz on bass, Mike Daily on guitar and John Theim on drums, they became “Rumor Town.”

“The name was from an album title by a friend of mine Clay Blaker,” Jay said. “We have performed together and collaborated on songwriting over the years; it seemed perfect.”

As a result, Blieders Creek now flows through Rumor Town, providing all the classic country songs from the 80s to today, including some of Jay’s original compositions.

“We perform four to five times a month,” he said.

In addition to the local venues where Blieders Creek performed, they were invited this year to play at the Poteet Strawberry Festival.

“As long as we can continue to provide a quality experience for our audience, we will continue to play,” Jay said.

The camaraderie of the group is a special bond that Jay treasures.

“I also enjoy watching the response of the crowd while we perform,” he said. “Seeing people having a good time and being the reason for it is a great feeling.”

Savor the Flavor of Irresistible Pub inspired Pulled Pork Sliders

Hello, friends. I hope everyone is having an awesome spring so far. I feel, especially as the year gets closer to summer and the days get longer, we all tend to enjoy an extra drink or two over the course of our evenings. To do my friends here a personal service, while you’re out there drinking this year, remember that it’s super important to eat.

While you can eat nasty fast food, I can’t stress enough to eat high-quality fare at your local pub or, better yet, make your own favorites at home and share with your friends.

There are a lot of great pub foods to choose from, and it wasn’t the easiest to decide what I wanted to make with y'all. Between some great dips and queso, giant soft pretzels or delicious pizzas, there are some great choices.

My go-to at home, though, is old-school, backyard, barbecue pulled pork. It’s so versatile. A super tender pork shoulder can be amazing to add to many things, but an old-school slider. You can also make it in the instant pot or slow cooker if you have a busy day. I hope you enjoy my favorite, easy, instant pulled pork.

Story and photos by Danny Story

- Ingredients -

3 ½ - 4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into about 1-inch cubes

1 yellow onion, sliced thin

1 cup of dry white wine

¼ cup of apple cider vinegar

4 tbsp BBQ sauce

2 tbsp vegetable oil

A package of your favorite buns

½ small red cabbage

Rub-

3tbsp Brown sugar

1 ½ tbsp salt

1 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper

½ tsp of ground cayenne

Dressing-

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

½ tsp garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder

A small amount of the cooking liquid left from the pork

- Directions -

1: Start off by mixing the rub together and tossing the pork. In a skillet or with the sauté setting on your Insta pot, heat your vegetable oil and brown the pork in two to three batches (so as not to overcrowd the pan).

2: Set the pork aside and sauté the onions. Once soft and translucent, add in the white wine and vinegar to deglaze the pan. Add the contents of the pan, pork and barbecue sauce into your slow cooker and set on low for 6 hours.

3: Pull pork out and shred in a separate container. Add a small amount of the cooking liquid to make sure the meat is well hydrated.

4: Shred the cabbage and mix with all of the dressing ingredients. Toast the buns and assemble for the best pork sandwiches ever.

Now, make sure you enjoy a good amount of food before you decide to go out and drink a little bit more than usual, and always drink plenty of water. Be safe and enjoy yourself this year.
