“Un sitio muy agradable, sus instalaciones muy chevre , la comida exquisita, los niños tienen su espacio para divertirse y jugar hasta con los adultos. Me encanto“

“Everything! The crew is my family. I will always and forever take my friends and family to hopsquad“

“Great environment, very family friendly“

“A great place to hang out. They've made a ton of improvements to the outside space including a big screen to show sports. The inside is well set up to hang out even for large groups, or to play board games. They also have a great event space and host cool classes frequently. The Austin Creative Reuse craft night I went to was really fun.“

“This place is always a good time and is HUGE! Great time for all people and very family friendly with a large play area out back with a trillion places to sit and drink. Food trucks are amazing. Great beer. Great times.

Parking can be mayhem, but hey, for a place like this it is worth it.“

“Beerburg Brewery is like going to a good friend's house for dinner. A relaxed atmosphere that is not trendy. Always welcomed with a smile. Not to mention a fun little 9 basket disc golf course that is more technical than long. Come by enough times and the staff remembers your name. That's always a good feeling to be welcomed like a friend. The beers are changed from time to time so it like going to a new bar and tasting something new without going to a new bar to try something new. Plus, all of the beer ingredients are native and harvested in Texas.“

“We`re proud to have Zilker Brewing as one of our top-rated partner venues for our line-up of bar crawls this season. Always a great place to party. Friendly staff and bartenders, amazing food and drinks. Come join us.“

“This is a hidden gem! From friendly staff to great beer and the most delicious gourmet grilled cheese, you're sure to enjoy yourself. You may even catch a glimpse of MK, the breweries resident cat.“

“Great outdoor brewery and venue.“

“Our new favorite spot in Austin. They have their own brews, they're all good. We especially love the ginger beers and mules. The place is cool. Themed after west texas, all the beers are named for westerns and spots out west. Love the starlight theater picture, we ate there in terlingua a few weeks ago. This is a must if you're in the area.“

“Brewery 1 on my brief Austn, TX beer travel. Great selection and good vibe. Got a chance to try only one. The place was very busy and I think they may have been having a speed dating event. I felt I little weird being there solo. I’ll have to try again if I’m the area.“

“If you are looking for great beer selection and an amazing atmosphere, Fast Friends Beer Company is definitely the spot to check out. The staff is so welcoming and friendly! I would also recommend the Jala Pep pizza and the pretzel bites!“

“Round two of me and my wife trying out local breweries in Austin, first impression, very industrial and gritty, not a bad thing.
A nice variety of beers on tap, atmosphere was great, had a great Mexican food truck out there that rivaled what I would imagine a lot of Mexican establishments. Overall it was a great experience and neat brewery, if i was a local I’d visit more often.“

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

“I really like this new addition to Austin Bergstrom International Airport. They have great counter service and tasty burgers and sides, breakfast too.“

“I don’t say this whimsically, best beer I have ever had.“

“I don’t say this whimsically, best beer I have ever had.“

“Great brewery. It has a lot of open space. We enjoyed playing the Nintendo 64 also. Bartenders were super nice and gave us great pours. They have their equipment on display and also serve coffee. Nice vibe.

One comment for the brewer: My west coast IPA was pretty good but wasn’t clear. Looked like chill haze from not chilling the wort fast enough. See photo.“

“Enjoyed a flight at Southern Heights, finding the Classy AF Blonde their best beer.
They have a long bar, many tables, two indoor seating areas, and a taco truck with shaded picnic tables outside. Overall the place reminded me of Northwest Austin's Circle Brewing.
They share a large parking lot with several other businesses in a warehouse area.
On Sunday I wonder if they sell more beer if the cowboys win or lose. I was there for a loss. I'll have to go far more frequently to witness a win.“

“It’s amazing place to go , the food was good and music .“

“Great atmosphere, great choices of beer, wine, and seltzer. The staff on the other hand..... AMAZING!!!“

“Laid back, lake life, flip flop, local vibe.Dozens of picnic tables outside in addition to indoor seating.Pet friendly.Huge food truck grilling in the backyard.I had the cider, the cream ale and the pils; all three were excellent.Will be back.“

“Vacancy Brewing was our first stop on a list of Breweries we wanted to visit in Austin, and they started our trip with a BANG ?. Their beer was delicious and we really enjoyed talking to the owner! We can't wait to stop by again during our next visit. Until then, Cheers ?“

“Very pleasantly surprised by this lowkey, industrial, working brewery. Kerry and John are great - friendly, down to earth, interesting guys to chat with. The beers were excellent, especially the hazy IPA, Kolsch and their new “beer thirty”. Pop in for a visit!“

“Easily the chillest spot in South east Austin, staff is phenomenal, seating and lounge area is perfect for an intimate get together or a fun time with friends, Golden tiger right outside serves up some delicious hot food options and of course the beer is immaculate!On top of it all they participate in the Barks for Beers from divine canine! You can’t ask for better option!“

“Blue Owl Brewing is a shining example of what it means to represent and care for your community. They make fantastic beer with a passion to share their knowledge and craft. And they are receptive to feedback and supportive in helping navigate requests for localization of their products especially in the Greater Austin area. Shop local!“

“I've had plenty of saké, but none quite like this! They brew their own saké, in house, to perfection, as well as import some really fine saké. Tried their saké bomb which was a shot of their own saké dropped into a rice lager that they make (which is also incredible). Also tried two unique drinks that I doubt you could find anywhere else: a dairy free saké based eggnog and a rice beer Oktoberfest style. If you make it in time for these seasonal drinks, they are well worth the money! Cute space, welcoming staff. Big shout out to Pete for being a very informative, helpful, and kind bartender! He really made the whole experience 10x better.“

“Chill place, good beers. Highly recommend, tried this while in Austin and enjoyed my weekend afternoon. I tried the Mexican Lager and Grand Cru-Belgium Tripel. Both were good but the tripel definitely stood out. I love my Maredsous usually and this tripel definitely had similar notes.“

“We had an amazing experience with Trey and Cody. They were so kind and helpful. The bikes were great and colorful! We had a total blast riding the great trail network in Austin. Trey and Cody gave us excellent recommendations for where to ride. They were also very thorough with bike safety and clearly keep their gear in top notch condition!“

“what a Super place for a gathering. Fantastic beers and food. Great Paninis, Pizzas, Garlic Knots, etc. Occasionally Crawfish Boils with the trimmings. Car Show gatherings monthly and most if all, Great bands on their stage. Don't forget weekly entertainment and Music Bingo every Saturday nite. What a fun place to come to....“

“This establishment stands unparalleled in offering the most sublime views of Lake Travis, especially noted for its mesmerizing sunsets that captivate the eye. Accompanied by the luxury of an outdoor fire pit, a selection of artisanal cocktails, and generous accommodations, this brewery serves as an unparalleled haven, accentuating the exquisite panoramas for both Austinites and visitors alike.“

“Demonte was our server. He was absolutely amazing. He was super friendly and charismatic! Made us want to come back again!“

“What a great place to grab a pizza, wings, or more! Everything is delicious and the staff is always friendly and fun! If you like spicy I recommend the backdraft pizza! DELICIOUS!!“

“Black Star was recommended to me by a friend who travels to Austin for work. He noted this was one of his favorite spots. We stopped in for dinner and a few beers around 8pm on a Sunday night.

I had the portabella sandwich with the garlic parmesan fries and my wife ordered the smash burger. Both were delicious! We tried several beers, all very good with my favorite being the porter.

Staff were awesome, with very helpful suggestions for beer recommendations.

Visiting from NJ, not sure when we'd be back here again but would absolutely visit her again.“
