“One of Austin's most beloved and authentic bars!
Frazier's Long and Low is an absolute Austin classic that never fails to deliver a genuinely great night out. The atmosphere is perfectly unpretentious, wonderfully laid back and full of the kind of real character that only a true neighborhood bar can have. The drinks are well priced, generously poured and the selection covers everything you could possibly want for a great evening. The staff is incredibly friendly, personable and creates an atmosphere where everyone feels instantly welcome whether you are a regular or walking in for the first time. The outdoor space is especially fantastic and the overall vibe is exactly what you want from an Austin bar. Frazier's Long and Low is a genuine treasure in this city and a place I would recommend to absolutely anyone!“

“We walked form Moody Center over to Crown and Anchor before a concert and it did not disappoint. Two of us ordered their burger and fries it was perfect. Another in our party ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and she really liked it. The last person in our partner ordered the chicken club sandwich. She said it was great. Everything was amazing and served in a timely manner. The atmosphere was just what we wanted, classic Austin chill vibe. I will be back again.“

“Great drinks and good food, what's not to like here. Plenty of HH options and really nice space with excellent customer service. Def get the burger and the daiquiri, good combo. We also had the risotto with squash from the garden. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and parking in the neighborhood via streets, can be difficult to find a spot.“

“Great drinks with low key atmosphere“

“Great little hideout in the Domain.“

“Amazing. Must-go location in Austin! They serve up wonderful array of drinks, especially their icy coffee - Irish and otherwise. The Dead Rabbit also does coffee in the morning starting at 7am - their tiramisu coffee is a must have. Great food- their sliders are delicious. Wonderful service in a restaurant and bar with great ambiance. The team at the Dead Rabbit is so kind, considerate and friendly. Reasonable prices for an exceptional experience.“

“Workhorse Bar is an absolute gem in Austin. The atmosphere is laid back, unpretentious and full of character making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day or enjoy a night out with friends. The drink selection is impressive with a great variety of beers, cocktails and spirits at very reasonable prices. The bartenders are friendly, attentive and clearly passionate about what they do. The crowd is always welcoming and the overall vibe is just right. It is the kind of place you walk into once and instantly feel at home. Workhorse Bar has become my favorite spot in Austin and I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a great local bar experience.“

“We loved the quaint atmosphere and the specialty cocktails. The bar crafters were amazing!!! Check it out!“

“Lovely setting. Fun atmosphere and chilled“

“Closest thing you'll get to real small town bar vibes in the middle of the city. Great cocktail options, amazing service too. Juno was always happy to have a conversation and easily kept the flow going, but was also ensuring that he'd help every single person who came up to the bar equally! Great place!“

“What is there that you can't love about this unique venue?“

“We celebrated our friend’s Bachelorette party at the Electric Shuffle and had an absolute blast. The food was delicious. The staff were fabulous and lively. And I loved that the shuffle board was electronic - making it easy to keep score, pick different games and provide instruction. Highly recommend!“

“This establishment is a must visit. The food and atmosphere is wonderful. The food is great and the service is top notch. Review by Gabriel A Culiat“

“I love this place and have started coming weekly to play games. I love the selection of games and the fact they will teach them to you. The food is really good, too. The atmosphere is pub like but still has the perfect light for playing games. The staff is super nice. I recommend this place to everyone!“

I rate burgers as a hobby.
I am a self-proclaimed connoisseur.
I drive rock stars across the USA and Canada to their rock shows.
When in Austin, Casino El Camino is THE place to get a TASTY BURGER.
3/4 pound patties, cooked like a BOSS.
Ya can't go wrong here.
Just trust me.
Only place that can compete with these burgers is Coaches Corner in Covington, KY“

“😃What a fantastic place, staff was incredibly nice and friendly, as were the customers!“

“The Tigress Pub is hands down one of the best bars in Austin. The atmosphere is cozy, lively and full of character which makes it the perfect spot for a night out with friends. The drink selection is impressive with a great range of beers, cocktails and spirits to suit every taste. The bartenders are skilled, personable and always make you feel right at home. The music and overall vibe strike the perfect balance between relaxed and fun. Every time I visit I leave with a smile on my face. If you are looking for a pub that truly has it all, The Tigress is the place to be.“

“First timer here! Everything was fabulous! From the staff to the atmosphere everything was so good. It’s on the pricey side, but we had a great time and I’d come back!“

“Fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch“

“Seven grand Austin never fails to amaze. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help guide with drinks. I will keep coming to this establishment for years to come“

“Marlow's has a very Austin vibe. I grew up in Austin and just moved back. Austin has changed a lot so I was happy to visit a place like Marlow that's dedicated to keeping the Austin vibe alive. The owner is also an Austinite!

Marlow's has a really in interesting and delicious drink menu. I tried both mocktails (option to add THC) and really enjoyed them both. Most mocktails with NA liquor have honestly tasted a bit weird and a bit off. I usually have one and call it a day. However, I really enjoyed the first one that I tried the second one, which I also liked.

The bartenders work amazingly fast and take multiple drink orders at a time and don't miss a beat!

There's street parking and during weekdays, it's free to park after a certain hour.“

“Shepherd is great! Fun times, good music and love the booing and cheering 🤭🍺“

“One of the local OG dive bars in ATX! Great spot to get it some and have a great time!“

“Visited a friend in Austin and he introduced me to the Buzz Mill.“

“We hosted a work event at Holiday and had the best experience! From planning through day of the event, we got real white glove service! Their event coordinator is wonderful, our day of contact and the person in charge of our group that evening were so on top of it, super kind and attentive, and just made the whole evening feel really special. Drinks are the best in town (alcoholic and N/A alike), food was delicious, and the space was beautiful and felt really special. We can't wait to host another event at Holiday!“

“Really cool, very Austin experience. There are only 15 seats so get there early or be patient, but the drinks ARE worth it!“

“This place is a whole vibe!“

“Love this place and the service is spot on! Great bartenders !“

“I’ve been here almost every day for a week now cuz right when I walked in it felt magical“

“Honestly, Corrine in the Westin at the Domaim was really good! The service from Tris was amazing. She was friendly, professional, warm and patient. We wanted somewhere calm where we could celebrate my father in laws 82nd birthday. It was perfect. And the food was delicious!“

“Such a modern fun hotel .. super fun“

“Crawfish 🦞 8/10! Season perfectly ✔️About a half pound dead but still very tasty! 337 lady👍🏽“

“Great place to have a drink and play some games with a friendly and professional weight staff to ensure a quality time.“

“Friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious hamburgers and the sriracha Cole slaw was very flavorful. Good music too!“

“This is a small, cosy restaurant with a fusion of Mediterranean and Indian flavours using local, seasonal ingredients from Texas. The restaurant offers a four-course prix fixe menu with sophisticated and creative food (Time Out Worldwide) (The Texas Tasty).“

“Such great barbecue! Great Dive Bar atmosphere!“

“Vic and Al’s is something truly special. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re welcomed by an energy that feels alive…warm, inviting, and full of heart. The décor, the music, the atmosphere, every detail has been so thoughtfully created, and you can feel the love behind it all. The food is absolutely fantastic…every bite bursting with flavor and creativity. The bar menu is a mixologist’s dream. The staff was incredible — genuine, attentive, and passionate about making sure everyone feels at home. You can tell the owner has poured so much heart and soul into this place, and it shines through in every moment. Vic and Al’s isn’t just a restaurant…it’s a place where memories are made. I can’t recommend it enough! One of the highlights when I go visit my son!!“

“We love Hotel Vegas and how they truly support the live music scene of Austin. We have been treated great by them when we seek to platform a band and film them there. Venues like these are the backbone of the 'Live Music Capitol of the World'.“

“Undoubtedly one of the most fun spots in Austin. Musicians are phenomenal. Servers are nice, but the place gets packed and it's physcially hard to navigate on busy nights, so drink service is a bit slow (not the servers' fault though). Definitely go for the music, cocktails are hit or miss.“

“Favorite bar in Fort Worth!! Great staff great bartenders and always great live music“

“Well I would say yes & no! Nice place but the way the tables are set up is horrible. There isn’t a stage so if you are sitting at the small tables you can’t see the band that is performing because the higher table are in front. I think that the higher tables should go against the wall where the picnic table is or towards the back and the smaller tables should be up front. There are some people who are unable to sit and the higher tables but are unable to see the band other then that’s it’s a pretty nice place.“

“Wow great atmosphere an great service, live band definitely coming back soon“

“Stay put is my go to bar on rainey street. Always a great time and the outdoor area is excellent. The perfect spot to go hang out on a beautiful day.

The staff is super nice and takes good care of the patrons. Great selection of beer. They also have a pool table.“
