Riley's Tavern, in Hunter, Texas (close to New Braunfels, Texas), was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.[1]

The building was constructed in the 1800s, but it was not notable until it was converted into a tavern by James Curtis Riley in 1933. Located near a railroad stop on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and near the border of a dry county, it did well. It was the first tavern in Texas to get a license after Prohibition was lifted in 1933.[2]
