“This is my favorite dive bar in Austin, Texas! The beers are so cold on top. You can expect ice crystals on top.
Also, my favorite thing on the menu is the burger, but make sure you get it as a double! I regularly come here on the weekend and pick up to go burgers for multiple neighbors (why i have an ice cold Coors ☺)

If you want a sports bar this is not the place (and we prefer it that way) but if you want to shoot a round of pool or shuffleboard you have found the spot!“

“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).“

“Our server, Jess, was friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave us good recommendations. Our food was served quickly and was fresh and hot. The crab cake Benedict is delicious, the wellness shot was perfection. We are looking forward to another meal at Corrine’s.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We ate brunch for the first time here today and will be back. The churro waffles alone are worth it! Everything we had was delicious and the service was above par! Highly recommend.“

“Great drinks with low key atmosphere“

“We absolutely loved this place! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to hang out. It’s a cute little bar with a great atmosphere, excellent service, and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, the music was just right, and the overall vibe was fantastic. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great little hideout in the Domain.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Delicious BBQ! Great ambiance and service!“

“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!“

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“

“In search of a bar that wasn’t packed on a Friday night, we were lucky to stumble across Marlow. The atmosphere is dark and cozy. There’s enough of a vibe for this place to feel lively even when it’s mostly empty, yet it also avoids the earsplitting noise that may come with a more crowded venue. The bartenders are amicable, and the menu showcases some creative – and creatively named – cocktails. Lara went with a Moon Song (rum, blackberry, lime, and honey with lavender cold foam) and an espresso martini and enjoyed both. I opted for a zero proof drink: the high and mighty (agave, nonalcoholic ginger and floral liqueurs, jasmine tea, and spiced salt). It was refreshing but didn’t quite hit the mark for me. What should have been complex and balanced came across as overly floral.

All told, Marlow is worth a visit even if it is unlikely to wow you.“

“We don’t come often as we don’t live near, but it’s always an amazing treat. Today we sat at the bar and Skyler was AMAZING! We had the large seafood tower, extra order of the scallop nigiri, pasta special, and it was all absolute perfection! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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“

“Fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch“

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

“Délicieux Poissons et fruits de mer frais Excellent pinot Grigio Dessert à la lime … WoW“

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

“If you're looking for a venue that goes above and beyond in terms of hospitality and service, look no further. The staff here are simply incredible - they are always on hand to help, and nothing is too much trouble for them. I recently had the pleasure of performing, and I have to say that I was blown away by the level of support that the staff provided. As a DJ, it can be stressful trying to set up and sound check your equipment, but the staff made the whole process a breeze. They were so helpful and accommodating, and they went out of their way to ensure that my performance went smoothly. But it's not just the music guests who receive exceptional treatment. The staff are attentive and friendly with everyone, making sure that each and every guest feels welcome and valued. All in all, I can't recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for a venue with an outstanding team of staff who will go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable, then look no further.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“
