50 Best Bars in Austin

“Nice chill spot to kick it“

“Had fun catching up with friends here! 🤸🤸🤸“

“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).“

“Very Delicious and Great Location“

“Good burger, excellent fried okra and pickles with ranch. Cheap beers on Sundays. Extremely dog friendly place they accepted my 2 rowdy chihuahuas and they even went off on the bartender (which rewarded them 2 pieces of bacon) Will definitely come back here once I'm back in Austin.“

“We went last week to celebrate our brother's birthday. All of the staff were wonderful esp Tammy! She was very patient taking all our orders & took great care of us and made sure we all had a great time. Will definitely visit again“

“Love this place.

I don’t think anyone goes to Frazier’s for the atmosphere, its sortof just a local bar.

I eat and review burgers often, and Frazier’s just makes it simple. The slider is exactly as they describe it— glorified Big Mac.

It’s a big mac if it tasted like the person who made it actually cares if it tasted good. Can’t beat the price, even for the serving size.“

“Great staff, beautiful lounge and very clean. Great date spot“

“Lovely setting. Fun atmosphere and chilled“

“Brought a friend in for the smash burger hour hour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved our server! She was so informative, attentive, kind. (*only issue that the AC was full blast as to where it was almost too chilly! ha (how could this be in Austin during the heat?! :-) Overall, a great time, yummy dishes! ***the Baba Ghanoush is a must!“

“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!!“

“I will never come back to Austin without having a burger at Casino El Camino! Probably the best burger Ive ever had. Went back the next day and had the wings, which were great as well. My wife loved her BLT. Service was great. I was referred here by a local bartender and need to go thank her.“

“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.“

“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 is my favorite bar in all of austin, i came for the first time around a year ago and fell in love with the environment . the pimento cheese and spicy workhorse are my two favorites. every bartender here has been so kind and a pleasure to get to know, and i was made aware i accidentally posted a two star review (probably looking for directions and butt dialing 🥲) and i had to come back to fix it and say this place has never disappointed me !“

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

“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.“

“The Bon Aire and it's new management have made this our favorite place to enjoy food, football and God company. The stage is always friendly, three food is great and it's the best place to watch Steeler football!“

“10/10 delicious food, friendly staff!“

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

“We had a wonderful evening!! Beautiful ambience, food and service!!“

“Great spot. Sweet staff and tasty drinks.“

“Food menu is limited but everything was top quality. We had the carrot fritters, kale salad, burger and pork chops. We loved every bite. Looking forward to come back. The drinks were the cherry on top. Half off martinis on Sunday!! Enjoyed a couple frozen Mexican martinis. 🥰“

“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.“

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

“If you are looking for an amazingly fun night out in Austin, Pete’s is the place. You will be welcomed by their door staff like you are family. They have classically trained musicians who know how to rock and will play any request you make. The servers will be checking on you throughout the night. Pete’s also has an unlimited drink menu, from classic cocktails to their signature 52oz Schooners or drinks that arrive in a tub. AJ, one of their longtime bartender’s makes them all. I watched him as he created my traditional cocktails to drinks that are a combination of liquors/juice. He never missed a beat fashioning drinks for the locals and visitors alike while carrying on conversations with everyone that approached him. He is clearly someone who loves what he does. You’re not going to have a better night out! If you’ve just moved to Austin, you now have your “go to” club on 6th.“
