$68,566 in mixed-beverage sales, December 2024 (-22.9% vs. November 2024)
BARRELS AND AMPS also filed a mixed-beverage return for March 2025 reporting no receipts.

📊About BARRELS AND AMPS
BARRELS AND AMPS reported mixed-beverage sales at 209 W 8TH ST, GEORGETOWN, Texas 78626 in Williamson County. Its last reported month was December 2024, at $68,566. The Comptroller record stops there. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
Across its filing history this location reported $388,744 over 9 monthly returns, July 2024 through March 2025 (2024 – 2025). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was November 2024, at $88,911.
The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for this location as having ended on 2025-03-18. That is the state saying the permit period closed, which is stronger evidence than a simple gap in filings — but it still describes a permit, not a front door.

📈Monthly Receipts, July 2024 – March 2025
9 monthly returns filed by BARRELS AND AMPS. Months with no filing are absent from the series rather than plotted as zero — a missing month means the venue did not file, which is not the same as reporting nothing. A month that was filed with no receipts is a real filing and is plotted, on the baseline and marked, because that too is a different fact from either of the other two.
A later return was filed for March 2025 reporting no receipts. It is plotted below at the baseline and marked with a ring, but it is not treated as this venue's latest month of trade.
Monthly Revenue by Category
9 months of data • Hover or tap to explore4 of these 9 months were filed as a return reporting no receipts — plotted on the baseline and ringed, because a filed $0 return is a real filing, not revenue. Months with no return filed at all are not in this series: the line skips them rather than dropping to the baseline, so a gap in filing never reads as a month of zero sales.
Annual Comparison
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year with fewer than 12 filed months is marked — a part-year total is not comparable to a full one.
📅Year by Year
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year-over-year change is shown only where both years are effectively complete — comparing a full year against a four-month stub would be a fabricated collapse.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
- Is BARRELS AND AMPS still open?
- The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for BARRELS AND AMPS as having ended on 2025-03-18, with its final return filed for March 2025. That is the state stating the permit period closed, which is the strongest closure signal in this dataset — but it describes a permit, not a front door. That return reported no receipts — a filed return with nothing on it, which is not a month of trade. Its newest month with receipts is December 2024, at $68,566. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
- How much does BARRELS AND AMPS make? (December 2024)
- BARRELS AND AMPS reported $68,566 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for December 2024, -22.9% against November 2024. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $388,744 across 9 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue. BARRELS AND AMPS also filed a mixed-beverage return for March 2025 reporting no receipts. A zero-receipt return is a filed return with nothing on it — most often a formality on a permit period that has closed — so it is not read here as a month of trade, and no percentage on this page is measured from it. The figures above cover December 2024, the newest month with receipts.
- Where was BARRELS AND AMPS located in GEORGETOWN?
- BARRELS AND AMPS filed mixed-beverage returns for 209 W 8TH ST, GEORGETOWN, TX 78626, in Williamson County. The address is taken from the venue's filings, the most recent of which covers March 2025.

- Over July 2024 – March 2025 (all 9 reported months), BARRELS AND AMPS reported 59% liquor, 2% wine, 39% beer and 0% cover charges. The largest share was liquor. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is BARRELS AND AMPS busy? How does it rank among Austin bars?
- This dataset tracks mixed-beverage receipts, not foot traffic, so there is no direct measure of how busy BARRELS AND AMPS is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for December 2024, BARRELS AND AMPS ranked #532 of 1869 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #9 of 30 venues in ZIP 78626. A higher-ranked venue sells more alcohol in a month; it is not a measure of how crowded it is at any given time, and that is a single month's rank, not a lifetime one.
- What time period does the BARRELS AND AMPS data cover?
- 9 reported months, July 2024 through March 2025. Mixed-beverage receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes; the newest month currently published for the Austin metro is July 2026. Every figure on this page names the exact window it covers, because a single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities.
- Where does BARRELS AND AMPS's revenue data come from?
- The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, a monthly record every Texas mixed-beverage permit holder is required by law to file. This page reads that dataset directly and adds no estimates, no modelled figures and no user reviews.
ℹ️How to Read This Page
What mixed-beverage gross receipts are
Every bar, restaurant and venue in Texas holding a mixed-beverage permit must report its monthly alcoholic-beverage sales to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Those returns cover liquor, wine, beer and cover charges. They do not cover food, retail or non-alcoholic sales, so these figures are a slice of a venue's business, not its revenue.
Why every number here names a window
A single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities, and averaging a venue's whole history produces a number that has never been true of any actual month. Each figure on this page therefore carries the exact period it covers. Where a comparison needs history this venue does not have — a full prior year, two complete twelve-month windows, three complete calendar years for a seasonal index — the comparison is omitted and the reason is stated, rather than shown as a zero.
How current is this?
Receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes. The newest month currently published for the Austin metro is July 2026, and every recency judgement on this page is measured against that month rather than against today's date — so a late publication by the Comptroller never changes a venue's status. BARRELS AND AMPS last filed for March 2025, 16 months behind it.
What a stopped filing does and does not mean
A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open. A gap can also be a remodel, a seasonal close, a permit transfer or a slow filer. This page never states that a business is closed; it states when it last filed.
