MERCH
Can I buy merch at Gruene Hall?
Yes! During ticketed shows, there is a merch booth set up. During the day and free music shows, we keep our favorites on-hand behind the bar. (Please keep in mind, we don’t have everything on our online store behind the bar. The Hall was built before the days of merch and she just doesn’t have the storage space!) To purchase merch at the bar, check out the display and let the bartender know once you’ve decided what you’d like!

Online Orders: Returns are accepted within 30 days of original purchase. All sale/markdown items are final sale. If you’re interested in an exchange, please return the original purchase and place a new order.
