50 Best Beer Bars in Austin

“Out tour guide Colt is the BEST!! He was charming and quirky. Say with us and chatted and laughed!! We did the farm and brew tour. LOVED! A little different. Kombucha, Beer, and cider stops. This is our second year taking a bike tour and both were awesome!! 💕“

“Great environment, friendly staff and a super beer menu. Definitely a “Must Go” when you visit Austin.“

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

“Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“Austin Beerworks is a fantastic spot! The brewery itself is a great place to hang out, and the playground makes it extra fun for families. The food from the food trucks is tasty and well above average, it rounds out the experience really nicely. Overall, definitely a five-star place and one of the best brewery setups in town.“

“LaVolta was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent too. The atmosphere is definitely a bit much with the bright red lights ( we couldn't tell the color of our food/pizza at first) and very loud music. It definitely is a vibrant atmosphere. Nothing wrong with that if you are prepared for that. All in all, I can't wait to go back, and our leftover pizza was super good too!!“

“I was looking for pizza by the slice in Austin and found this spot. They had a bunch of good options and the prices were super reasonable. There's also a nice outdoor seating area and the staff were very friendly. I tried the cheese slice and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend!“

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

“love this place! nice selection of beer and great bartenders!“

“I will be completely honest— I was originally extremely skeptical of this place. I’ve noticed a trend in Austin recently where private, for-profit ventures have been co-opting naming conventions commonly used for public space/community ownership/places for people to gather that don’t require spending money (like community garden, assembly hall, public goods, etc). But I really think they’re doing the best they can to foster a sense of community. They do a lot of programming that is free and accessible, like doodling nights. The space, both indoor and outdoor, is really beautiful. I sometimes come on the weekends to read in the morning and there are always at least 3 or 4 other people doing the same thing. The no laptop policy after 5 is awesome in my opinion. In the past few years, Austin coffee shops have become a cacophony of people taking work calls which is infuriating, inconsiderate, and distracting. It’s amazing that this place offers a respite from devices. And I haven’t tried the evening menu but am excited to!

To the person who complained about parking— unless you want community garden to tear down another local business and build a parking lot, the best option is probably for people to park using the ample street parking (which is public). I live in a neighborhood next to a bunch medical offices and people are constantly parking in front of my house, but the reality is that I am not any more entitled to that public space than someone else just because it’s in front of my house. Austin is growing and ideas/the culture around entitlement to parking spaces need to change“

“This is a great spot. new to Austin and I've visited several puppo spots. this is by far our favorite. 💙StellaBlue💙 loves it and I have found it to be friendly and overall welcoming. Thank You“

“Baretto Bistro’s new location in 26 doors is cozy, welcoming and delicious. I’m so excited about this new spot in the hood. Not a huge menu, but offers a perfect variety of elevated dishes, fancy cocktails and a nice wine list. I highly recommend, plus there’s a lovely patio and parking! 5 stars all the way!“

“My husband and I are regulars at Holiday. They boast the perfect combination of atmosphere, food, and drinks. There’s no pretense behind anything they do, it’s just good shit. I recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a good cocktail and a good time. They never fail us 🍸🍝 p.s. of course try their famous martinis, but my go-to is a gin gimlet 🙂‍↔️“

“Literally my favorite neighborhood bar. The crowd is usually younger people, but not the annoying young people. & Ben, the bartender, just give him all your money. He’s the best bartender ever. After being here twice he already had mine & my fiancé’s order down. Will be here Every. Single. Night.“

“They have THE BEST Chinese/Sichuan Food I’ve ever tasted! Everything I’ve tried has been extremely flavorful and fresh! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Food was phenomenal and beer was amazing! Friendly environment!“

“Bluegrass THURSDAYs!!! YES!!!“

“great place with great employees“

“Fun neighborhood hangout spot. It’s the people, the vibe and doable price points.“

“vacancy brewery is a great place to kick back and get great beer (always something new on tap, or something. fun going on). The food truck rocks, and the service and feel... amazing...hope to see you there soon for a 🍺....“

“The staff is so nice. I got the sliders(2) this second time I was here for HH and they're very decently priced(along with the rest of the HH) and they're really good. The first time i was here, I had the short ribs which were "off menu" but that was cooked perfectly as well. The bar area is huge, I do know it can get packed later in the night!“

“Highly recommend!! Best coffee i’ve had in a very long time.“

“Visiting from Auburn, Alabama and decided to check out Love Supreme. The manager gave us a run down of the menu. They have an experienced chef who makes everything in-house. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and it came with a side of homemade ranch that was amazing. The food came out hot and in a timely. The manager checked on us to make sure we had a great experience. There is only ONE Love Supreme, so if you are in Austin, Texas, we highly recommend checking it out. You will not be disappointed.“

“Lots of great pizza and salad choices. They also have a huge beer selection along with wine. The pizza was tasty, fresh and they piled on the toppings, no skimping there!“

“We were in town for F1 and had the BEST experience at Mexta! The food, and hospitality was next level!“

“Wether I’m performing live or just hanging out with friends, I love this place.“

“Absolutely excellent pizza. This is our favorite pizza. We come here at least one time a week or we order it in at our house and my husband is obsessed with the sandwiches!“

“clean atmosphere, awesome visuals, friendly service! great place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had a great time, amazing service (Katie deserves a raise) great food, great drinks. Will make a trip back for sure, next time I’m in town.“

“So delicious everytime! Today we stopped in after an event at which craft and had such an amazing experience. While we were indecisive because everything sounded so good the manager was so sweet and helpful.
We got the south Austin pizza and holy crap SO GOOD! Great quality prosciutto and goat cheese and the balsamic vinegar dressing made the pizza.
So happy to have a great pizza place with awesome people in the neighborhood!“

“My niece & I went out for drinks and dinner at Lala's South Pole off Davis Lane in South Austin. What a hidden gem this place is :-)
I've never been there before and was so happily surprised by the Christmas decorations. It was wonderful. The atmosphere is great.
The bartender, Rudy and the lady Bailey behind the bar were very welcoming, friendly and answered questions regarding drinks. And my niece has been there before but they were very kind to me, Aunt Rose. The Deadly Nightshade & Wormswort specialty drinks and the rum and coke were very tasty , & delicious drinks.
Also the cook Ricardo, he was nice too. We had a delicious Caesar salad and the pizza pie was fantastic.
And we had an appetizer of wings. We sat outside. It was a beautiful evening on October 21st. We will definitely be back again soon.“

“Dog friendly and great service.“

“Love this place! So much to do, super relaxed and comfortable! Great people! Best place in town!“

“The was the first time checking out the bar. I'm glad a 90s group was performing there that night cause it was good music to listen too while chilling with a friend. I liked the seating area as well. Even though I didn't dance the dance floor was a decent size.“

“Great location, yummy coffee, friendly service and nice vibe.“

“Great big little bar. Terrific bartenders, tasty cocktails, and Geeks Who Drink on Mondays is a great way to kickstart your week.“

“Great place to meet, love the Cortado, excellent food. thank you Matt for a creating a wonderful place.“

“Every dish I've tried has been delicious! All very fresh & flavorful. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Trash 🗑 Service is awful, they run out of everything by 1030am. Rude staff. Hated every second of my time here all three times I tried it.“

“Great service! Good atmosphere. Not only beer, but also cocktails and decent wine!“

“We took advantage of the 1/2 price ribs and several sides and were floored at how good everything tasted.“

“Our family converged on the little gold mine in the middle of Austin TX for a wedding and reception. We could only imagine that the employees must own the place. They never stop providing the kind of customer service that kings and queens expect! Every aspect of our stay…top notch! Thanks for the Lazardo Cherries Anthony! Hoping to visit again one day!!!“

“Great Customer Service! I went on Saturday 9/21/2024 a little after 11am and the bartender and security guard were both nice and friendly. I have really bad anxiety so it's hard feel me to speak to people. The bartender and security guard were very understanding and patient with me. I would definitely go back to Woodrows on 6th street in Austin.“

“Ya know the staff here is super cool. Very professional and responsible for a bar, and I respect that a lot as a career bartender. Abby is the sweetest girl. I swear I hope my kid grows up to be like her lol. Kelly, Ashley, and Brittney are also super sweet and are always in a good mood! Barbacks are great. The patio is awesome. The food truck is also really good. Some of the best bbq I’ve ever had.“

“One of my favorite austin hangouts“

“Usually pretty good servers. Little bit of turnover with their server staff, so recently we've been getting Val. Always chill, never let's our drinks go empty and she's always down to chop it up with the table in-between serving her other tables. When you frequent a spot, your server can really impact the vibe. Val brings the good ones 👌“
