Come away with me to our vacation home in Marfa, Texas.
Welcome to Casa Cielo, Marfa Texas!
Casa Cielo Marfa is our little vacation house in Marfa, Texas. David and I bought the house at the end of 2009 with the intent of spending much time in the area. It is also available for short-term rental during times when we are not using the house. We list it on VRBO.com. We have a direct website as well, at DiscoverMarfa.com.
Marfa is a fascinating place, full of great things to see, do and eat. It is a city of approximately 2,000 people in Far West Texas. Marfa is known for its art, music and great restaurants. Aside from being a great destination in its own rite, it is a great home base for visiting Big Bend (both the state and national parks), as well as the many other state parks in the area.
I hope you enjoy my views (and reviews) as we discover this wonderful area. Please feel free to add your own thoughts. Comments are most welcome!
From Casa Cielo, walk south on Austin Street past Tumbleweed Laundry, over the train tracks, and hang a right on El Paso. One block down on your left is Padre's Bar.
Padre's is a great spot for drinks and live music. They even have great food, served late. On our last trip, we had a delicious Texas Spaghetti, and even a curry dish from the specials menu. On the regular menu you will find boudain, frito pie, and all beef hot dogs, among other things. They also have a great queso dip.
Padre's features a wide variety of music and events. During our last trip to Marfa, Padre's featured the Moondogs, Grupo Exito, and the Doodling Hogwallups, as well as an Oscar-watching party!
Aside from the bar and dance floor, Padre's has an extensive game room with two pool tables, two shuffleboard games (one long and one short), and *gasp* vintage pinball. There is also an outdoor patio with comfortable seating.
Padre's puts a lot of effort into recycling. Read about it on their link.
Following are some links to bands we have enjoyed at Padre's. It has always been a fun time for us!
