“It's great, it's pet friendly, excellent food, and chill staff.I had their Reuben sandwich, The pastrami is smoked the cut and very flavorful, couldn't taste the sauerkraut (excellent place to try a Reuben for first timers), The rye bread is very mild and slightly sweet very unique spiral pattern and delicious. Wife had the pretzel, ? she wasn't that hungry but said the beer cheese sauce and ground mustard was delicious. She made me try the last bite of pretzel, it was slightly sweet which was interesting and appreciated, but dipped in their cheese beer sauce was next level. Their flavor combinations just hit different in the best way.Wife had the American lager as she's prefers Coors & Miller lite, I went with their dark lager which was bold yet smooth. Definitely appreciate the realistic ABV levels so you can do something with the rest of your day lol. They're green tea jello shots are actually pretty tasty and fun to order if you're celebrating something.Definitely a bring your own friends place, Not somewhere I would advise the single ready to mingle crowd. But if you got some good people with you you're guaranteed to have a good time here.Can definitely recommend.Parking: Parking is off 5th Street, behind the building. They have their own lot (Yes you can enter directly from the parking lots as well).Google maps will take you to the front of the building though. (Which there are a couple of spots and a couple of handicap spots only, there is also a 10 ft double-sided bike rack)Do not attempt to park anywhere else in the front or businesses beside it they will tow.(Cesar Chavez and the streets connecting between 5th are all both directions, so it doesn't matter how you get there if you will get there)“

Meanwhile Brewing Brewery • $
3901 Promontory Point Dr, Austin

“Great place for kids!!This place was recommended to us by a friend and we decided to stop in on a random Wednesday to check it out. The property is a bit far (we are based in NW Austin), but it is beautiful. It has ample outdoor seating - I would keep this in mind if the weather isn't awesome... not as much indoor. However, if the weather is beautiful, outdoor is the way to go.We are always looking for places to go to entertain our toddler and this fits the bill. Playscape for him, food for everyone, and drinks for mom and dad. Keep in mind the play scape isn't closed in, so keep an eye on the littles, they could run out. I only mention this because knowing this fact is important to me, but definitely not a ding on this place.“

Austin Beerworks - Sprinkle Valley Brewery •
10300 Springdale Rd, Austin

“Like the new spot. It's big! Indoor seating and a huge covered Biergarten outside. Dog & kid friendly. Bring your discs and walk the disc golf course. Beer is great as always, although I hate plastic cups. Didn't try the food truck as the line was super long. There's room for another 1-2 trucks so hopefully they'll expand.“

“Walked over to Lazarus, very cool, somewhat industrial looking, hip brewery + coffee shop. It's not a far walk from where I live and it's located in the former location of 'I ❤️ video,' a local Austin treasure.It looks like people are parking into the neighborhood, so think about that when you arrive, as there is limited parking in the front off of Airport Rd.Had their 7% alcohol IPA, called 40 Days and 40 nights, $6.50 draught. Incredibly delightful. Loved it. Very well balanced as most (all) of their beers are. Seems to be one of their focus'.Will definitely be back.If you're planning on going there regularly, they have a deal where you can pay something like $1,200 bucks and go in there every day 'forever' and have a free beer/coffee. It's limited to one per day, but still pretty cool.“

Nomadic Beerworks Brewery • $
3804 Woodbury Dr Suite A, Austin

“Nestled in the heart of Austin's bustling craft beer scene, Nomadic Beerworks stands out as a beacon of creativity and quality. Boasting a beer list that reads like a love letter, albeit a short one, to beer enthusiasts everywhere, Nomadic offers something for every palate, from the puckering tartness of sours to the deep, rich complexities of Belgian quads. Each brew is a testament to the skill and passion of the brewers, showcasing a commitment to excellence that sets Nomadic apart from the crowd.But it's not just about the beer at Nomadic Beerworks – it's about the experience. Stepping into this brewery is like entering a hoppy wonderland, where the air is filled with the tantalizing aromas of malt and yeast. And while the outside seating, which overlooks the parking lot and the sketchy activities at the U-Haul lot across the street, may lack the trendy ambiance of some of its counterparts, the real magic happens inside, where the true spirit of craft beer culture thrives.In a world where breweries often cater to the masses, bad parents and their untethered hordes of ill behaved offspring, Nomadic Beerworks dares to be different and focus on the beer… and the adults who drink it. With its exceptional beer selection, welcoming atmosphere, and commitment to quality, it's a shining example of what craft beer should be. Cheers to Nomadic Beerworks – may your taps never run dry!“

“Great beer and better people. I got to talk to the folks who work there while drinking their brews - super impressed. I don’t normally leave reviews but when a homeless man walked in asking for some water - they not only gave him some water without missing beat, they also gave him some food. Pure generosity and good souls. 100% recommend this place!“

Hopsquad Brewing Co Brewery • $
2307 Kramer Ln, Austin

“Great place to drink and be merry, no matter what your group size is. Neally is the absolute best, followed by runners-up Josh & Justin.I love the variety of their rotating beer selection. They have a wide range of flavour profiles and ABV levels. Fun to experiment and find out what you like and don't like. I also appreciate that they provide Waterloo sparkling water.It's a short walking distance away from Q2, making it the perfect pregame spot on Austin FC game days.The verde lemonade & piña colada frozen bevvies were fantastic companions throughout the oppressive summer evenings we had this year.My only complaint is just how ridiculously short-lived their frozen espresso martini was. Unbelievable. I expected it to be available in the taproom the whole autumn/winter seasons. Heck, it was so delicious I could easily enjoy it all year long. Please bring it back ?“

Southern Heights Brewing Company Brewery • $$

“Good drinks, good service, weird that it was in a warehouse though. Went here when it was a little chilly outside and they don't have an actual heater or AC so it was a little cold in there. A friend I was with said the same when it's summer, they'll open up the garage doors to let a breeze in but it's still warm if it's hot outside. If you're coming with kids, not the best play area. There's room to like run around a little but no actual area to entertain the little ones. Food truck outside was amazing though, would be back just for that.“

Blue Owl Brewing Brewery • $$
2400 E Cesar Chavez St #300, Austin

“We were almost too full and tired to come here, but I am so grateful that we did. The service was great - they even charged my phone for me! They have a tasting menu where you get four full pours and then you get to keep the glass for almost the same price as a 4 beer flight so you better believe we did it. We started with the Imperial stout with orange and chocolate and that was our favorite, so much so that we got a 4 pack of it to fly back home with us. The cranberry one was fine, but nothing special. Our final two pours included the Earl Gray tea one which tasted so much of Earl Gray, that I had to also get that one and cans to go. The final one was the pomegranate sour, which my boyfriend enjoyed thoroughly. Unfortunately, there was a bike bar crawl, so the place was packed when we got there, but we were eventually able to find a place to sit outside, and their adorable decorated patio. Even the bathrooms were cute. I would spend a lot of time here if I was a local.“

“Wanted to say that the calamari I had here is some of the best I've ever had! Been to some places where it's a tad too chewy. As a texture person, that's a hard pass lol. But this calamari was fried to crunchy perfection! Ordered it on a whim and was pleasantly surprised Lobster Mac and cheese was good, according to my partner-- I just don't think the flavor is for me. Burrito was really good. I've been here in the past and had one of the lobster rolls, not pictured, which was incredible. Overall this place is a tad on the pricier side, but definitely worth it, and does not miss! Would recommend making a reservation in advance. We were walk-ins and had to sit outside. The outdoor tables by the walls have heaters. But the other seats don't. Could be a cool spot for your kids to play at the playground while you eat, too“

“Great beer, good food and the service, well, it wasn’t terrible. Beagle B just wasn’t that friendly. I sat at the bar with a buddy for more than 2 hours. It wasn’t very busy and when I went back to order more beers it was like he had never seen me before. I’m terrible with names so I thought well, I get it. Although I agree with everyone making a living wage, I don’t agree with a gratuity being added without me knowing about it. 15% is way below what I normally tip and even though the service wasn’t great, everything else was. So to be forced to pay a gratuity is something I find frustrating. Especially since even though the service sucked, I would have paid more. I feel that the service might not have sucked if Beagle B actually had to work for his tip instead of it being handed to him. If you decide to work in a tipped environment, you should have to earn that tip.“
