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!! 💕“

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

“Great drinks with low key atmosphere“

“Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“A fantastic selection of different beer varieties, flavors, and intensities. With such a huge range to choose from, it’s almost impossible to decide—which is why we deliberately always pick two different ones, so we can sample a few more options. We usually stopped by here after a day packed with activities to wind down and spend a cozy evening.“

“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“

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

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

“Great beer selection. Cool peeps who work there.“

“Came here for my birthday and our server Torin made our whole night. Super attentive, without being overbearing, and he surprised me at the end with a birthday dessert which I was not expecting at all!

Food was incredible—got the vodka pie with pepperoni and stracchiatella, and I'm still thinking about the meatball appetizer. Pizza had a nice char and the crust was crispy on the outside, but fluffy and soft on the inside.

Definitely coming back, and definitely asking for Torin!“

“I’m someone who loves pizza and a salad. Unfortunately, I cant just pop in by myself to get that little combo bc they only have pricey gigantic salads. Would be great if there was a half size for like $8-10. Then I might come back to grab that and a slice.

Also, last visit I went with my partner and had weird service. Idk if I was gaslit lol. I ordered a salad and sub for myself. My partner ordered two slices of pizza.

My salad and sub came out. Waited literally 30m for the two slices of pizza. So my partner pretty much watched me eat for half an hour. When I inquired about the pizza slices for my partner, the server said “yeah the chefs do that intentionally so you can enjoy the salad and sandwich first”. Who splits a sandwich before sharing a slice of pizza? Clearly they were running way behind and just acknowledgement (maybe an apology) would have been enough. Instead I was annoyed and felt crazy.

Regarding the meatball sub - the bread was super hard like cut the top of your mouth hard. Meatball was super tender but lacked ?herbs.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“If you’re anywhere near Archer Hotel and not sitting at this bar… you are already making the wrong decision.
Wyatt and I came in to celebrate our anniversary (and casually said it was our anniversary too because… why not 😌), and BABY—within FIVE minutes, Jake came back out with cake and ice cream like he had been waiting his whole life for this moment. No hesitation. No “let me check.” Just straight excellence.

Now let’s talk about Valery —because when I say “bartender in chief,” I mean she is running the whole experience like a CEO. She is locked in. The level of detail, the attentiveness, the way she listens AND observes… it’s giving elite. You don’t even have to ask—she already caught it. And on top of that, the conversation.. 10/10. Engaging, natural, not forced. The kind of energy that makes you sit longer than you planned and order one more round just to keep the vibe going.
Jake—so kind, so smooth with it, and clearly about the guest experience. That quick thoughtful gesture is the stuff you don’t forget. It wasn’t just service—it felt personal.
And THAT is the difference.
They didn’t just serve drinks—they made us feel celebrated. Seen. Taken care of. Like we walked in as guests and left as family. You can’t train customer service like that —you either have it or you don’t. And they BOTH have it. We will be back… not once, not twice… but a smooth 1,000 times Give them all the snaps. All the raises. All the recognition.

Because THAT is how you create an experience.“

“I stopped by the community garden last Saturday morning to pick up some starter plants. I went because I wanted to get a head start on my vegetable patch this year. The staff member who helped me was knowledgeable about which plants would do well in our current weather. She took the time to explain the different varieties of tomatoes available. I appreciated that she answered all my questions about soil and watering. The plants were well-maintained and healthy looking. I found exactly what I was looking for without any issues. The checkout process was straightforward and efficient. It was a pleasant and productive visit.“

“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!“

“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! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Bluegrass THURSDAYs!!! YES!!!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“great place with great employees“

“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 🍺....“

“Very festive! Cozy lounge, bar. Great staff too! love it!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I loveee it here ! Always has great vibes and the owner/manager.. i love her shes so nice.. and the bartenders are cuuteee“

“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!“

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

“Dog friendly and great service.“

“Visited Highball on Saturday and enjoyed the experience! We celebrated a birthday and got to enjoy the Super Mario Bros themed room. Lots of songs to choose from, even some obscure ones that I didn't expect to find in there (Lemon Demon, Weird Al, lots of Broadway songs, etc). Just be sure to validate your parking as you check in and you should get 4 hours for free. :)“

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

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

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

“This place is great if you want to hang out in an outside setting. The outdoor venue was beautiful, pet friendly, they have misting fans & T.V.'s everywhere, adult games like Connect 4 & Corn hole. Their indoor environment was okay if you like to be in a dark set-up. I did enjoy a couple of pricey mix drinks and FYI their buckets are 5 beers not 6, for the price of alcohol you would think they would keep their beers colder though. We tried the pizza place next door & it was good - pizza, calzone & wings.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Tasty food and drinks, super friendly staff and ownership who truly knows what it is to be Austinites. 12/10, we can't recommend Barley Bean enough! One of our favorite coffeehouses in town!“

“Great place, Atmosphere is FANTASTIC. Love set up of TV'S. Different game on each one. Me and my BROTHER will RETURN!“

“I always love coming to little Woodrow’s to watch sporting events. My visit tonight reaffirmed why I love coming here.

The place was packed, but the bar staff were still friendly and working their asses off. Someone was floating around picking up any empty glassware and keeping all the tables clean.

There’s a ton of fans which is so necessary with Texas heat. High quality TVs all over and they play the sound. Lots of seating and tables to handle a crowd.

I was nervous to use the restroom because usually in a packed bar you can bet it’s going to be a mess, but nope, everything was clean. Really appreciate this place.

Shout out to the bartender working 6/14 brunette wearing a claw clip in her hair. She was hustling under a lot of pressure and still had a great attitude.

THANK YOU!“

“One of my favorite austin hangouts“
