la Kiva is contructed mainly of limestone and local rock.
Reference the floor plan, below, as we take you through the complex:
Enter through the weighty main entrance,
and descend into la Kiva.
Hang a left and you’ll find the main bar and restaurant through the swinging doors:
Gil had gorgeous redwood trucked in from the Russian River Valley in California to create the substantial bar top and all of the restaurant’s tables, including a 15 foot long one-piece conference table. Many large clay pots from Mexico hang from Kiva’s ceiling:
The main area also includes a more private booth dining area, the restrooms,
a small stage area,
passage to the non-smoking Greenhouse Wine Bar,
and access to the patio:
The Greenhouse overlooks Terlingua Creek with its many tall cottonwood trees, affording marvelous bird and wildlife viewing:
The palm leaf shaded patio with its water-misted picnic tables and outdoor stage plays host to many parties and musical performances, weather permitting. Several more storage rooms are located adjacent to this stage, and beyond the patio is where the magic happens: the 10 x 20 screened in barbeque pit! You’ll have to negotiate to get Glenn to divulge his secret BBQ rub recipe…
This little hobbit door off the main entrance leads to the Cave Room:
The Cave Room boasts a small stage and is currently used for local play performances, rock bands and special events such as weddings and anniversaries:The Cave Room connects to the back of the patio stage, and also connects to The Dungeon, a small room completely underground.
The Dungeon’s official entrance consists of stone steps leading from the patio:
Kiva’s ample parking lot, once an RV park, is now used for large scale events such as rock concerts and Tejano dances. The 6 remaining RV hookups come in handy for event staff and security. Beyond the lot toward the creek lies a secluded tent camping area.
