I know, I know – it’s 2025 and you buy everything online now. But as a lifelong mall lover, I’m here to help you reconsider Barton Creek Square mall.
The mall, located at 2901 S. Capital of Texas Highway, was built in 1981 and absolutely feels like stepping into a time machine as you enter through Dillard’s or Macy’s. It doesn’t appear high-tech or flashy. It’s just an old mall and that’s what still works about it.
Here’s a guide to the mall:
🛍️ Shopping, Obviously
Despite feeling and looking a bit forgotten, the mall remains full of popular stores like Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Gap, lululemon, and more. Pop in for gifts from the LEGO Store or if you want to try something on in real life. And, again, as a mall lover, I think you should become a mall walker, too. Grab a coffee and walk around one morning!
🍿 AMC Barton Creek Square 14
Perhaps you are craving a classic movie-going experience. The mall has a big AMC theater in it and it has nice, comfy chairs, nachos with that fake cheese we love, and sodas as large as your head!
🌮 Polvos
Head over to Polvos for Mexican food after a day of shopping – the restaurant is located on the mall grounds. Grab a pitcher of margaritas for just $40 and the Don Chema enchiladas.
🥕 Barton Creek Farmers Market
Your first thought might not be that one of this city’s great farmers markets is at the mall, but you’d be wrong. Barton Creek Farmers Market happens rain or shine every Saturday starting at 9 a.m. Visit for fresh produce, cheese, art, and more.
