Corkys Wine & Beer bar | The Heart of the Entertainment District

My wife and I came here for a Comedy Show and it was an awesome time. I really wish they were open an hour later but it was still a great time. Nice layout downstairs for the bar area. The upstairs is awesome! Guitar Hero on PS2, awesome dart boards, connect four and many more other games. Gotta check this place out!

We enjoyed Corkys the atmosphere was very nice and their little tray of meats, cheeses,nuts,fruits and crackers was pretty good

Went on Saturday to comedy night and it was amazingly funny!! Best time I’ve had in a while. Wine was delicious and complimentary popcorn!! Will definitely be back!!

This is definitely the place to be to have a really good time and celebrate. I am a female impersonator and a celebrity designer that was booked to perform at a show hosted by Lacey Luxxx. The staff showed us nothing but kindness as soon as we got to the venue. The audience and the staff were extremely supportive. The drink were absolutely amazing and the food was to die for. Not only did I personally meet the bar owner and his lovely wife but I also met his staff and the DJ that night who showed us nothing but kindness and acceptance and made us feel very welcome. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a genuine and authentic positive experience. I cannot wait to go back and perform for them again.

The wife and I were looking for somewhere to go out downtown Temple and saw this place we'd never heard of so we thought we'd give it a shot. It was a karaoke night and there was good energy in the place. My wife sang a few songs and had a great time. The bartenders, owners, and other patrons were all very friendly. Definitely give the place a try if you want a more laid back environment from the other bars in the area!

3/20/21 Our experience was awesome! Their wine selection and beer is by local breweries. Tickets are limited due to amount of space so make sure to get tickets asap. Service is great and take care of their customers. Owners of the place are very nice and friendly. They offer more than just comedy shows, also Wine tours that we will be trying out soon. A great way to enjoy a night out on the town of Temple!!

Had such an awesome time at the comedy show tonight! Really hope to see Big Mac, Drew blues and Sara Garza back again! Such a funny group of people. You can really tell they are passionate about their comedy and that made it all the better!

I am new to the area, and went here for the first time yesterday. The bartender was absolutely awesome and extremely friendly. I loved the atmosphere and will definitely be back!

Absolutely phenomenal service, environment, and atmosphere! Probably the most fun I've had in ages getting to see the drag show there! I've never been in such a vibrant, welcoming bar!

Quaint and lively little bar that has established itself as a popular tour spot as of late, this place's true charm is revealed during their many night events ranging from Drag Shows to Standup Comedy Nights.

Beer choices are pretty decent, but the wine is top notch (I'd highly recommend the flight) with a great mix of local flavors to choose from.

Pro tip: As of writing this, food choices are exclusively what I could comfortably call "finger food." The food is delicious and fresh, but servings are meant to be more tapas than anything else. That being said, don't come here hungry. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but warrants a warning.

In my opinion, the absolute best way to experience Corkys is to go enjoy a meal at one of the many beautiful restaurants in the downtown Temple area, and finish off your night with a nice wine or craft beer in this excellent little bar already filling in a desperately needed niche within the growing Temple community.

Side note: You can find their hosted events on their Facebook, official webpage, or Temple's own event page. Some of which it would behoove you to purchase tickets for ahead of time.

Mel!!! I LOVE YOU MEL!!! I'm coming back for the 🎤 staying for the company! You are a well kept, wonderfully cheerful individual and I find you very interesting to say the least. The short lived service you provided was enough for my date and I to become enamoured.
We are friends now😁
My date for that night wants to come back for the ambiance and I want to truly dive deep into the lore oozing from you and Corkys. 😘🥰🙃
From Seguin, Tx. Love you TEMPLE!!

Owner and staff are amazing, great vibes, great selection of drinks, and great comedy show!

There is room for improvement as far as food options and food pricing... Would love to see sports-bar type food (i.e. chicken tenders and fries for $8, rather than three slices of quesadilla for $8); granted, they are a start-up, so hopefully the changes will come when revenue increases.

We went on Karaoke night, drinks were flowing and staff was awesome. We checked out the game area upstairs as well. Very nice.

Great place, Great atmosphere, really great people.
Some nights it’s open mic night for comedians other nights it’s karaoke.
If you want somewhere to go at night in Temple that is definitely the place

I just want to say i went here this pass Sunday to perform in a Drag show (Jewel) I just want to say i love this place from the vibe to the friendly staff the owner and his wife I just want to say thanks you for having me come down and perform. That cherry sour that was made for me was EVERYTHING loved it thanks again until next time

I had a blast performing at Corkys and can not wait to go back out and enjoy the amazing venue. Owners were amazing and the patrons were extremely fun to interact with.

The environment here is Immaculate.
The staff is friendly, drinks are moderately priced, & I had fun watching the karaoke.

After speaking to the Owner personally, we retract our previous post in regards to Corkys and the upcoming drag show.

Our sincerest apologies to Dan & his wife and the entire staff at Corkys.

Thank you for bringing drag to temple!!!! We needed this so much and it was amazing to have such a fun space I will definitely be back if there are more drag shows in the future!!!

Definitely worth a visit, but beware you will probably come back again and again! Props to the bartender, she's great!
