19 Best Brewpubs in Austin

“Beer is above average. Great staff. My glass never went empty.“

“An Austin treasure, tucked into a cozy neighborhood, first thing you noticed is the large outdoor patio, enter through the stained glass doors and belly up to the old wooden bar. It’s hands down one of the best spots in Austin to relax under shaded umbrellas—even in triple-digit heat. My son, an avid cyclist, tells me this is his favorite go-to after long bicycle rides.
Highly recommend!
FACT: The Draught House operates with 74 taps and is celebrated nationally as an iconic Texas beer bar, featuring an on-site food truck (Little House Kitchen) and a large outdoor patio.“

“Great environment, very family friendly“

“Stopped by for the first time today when visiting ATX! Everything was so good, my kids loved the tacos, I had Ceviche Tostadas, and my husband had the rice bowl. SO freaking good! Our beers were awesome too. Calm atmosphere and friendly staff!“

“i really enjoyed this place. Great drinks, chill atmosphere, not overlt crowded...but please come here and give them money so they can fix that parking lot. Suddenly my Subaru was like "ma'am are you off roading?!" 🤣“

“My wife and I travel frequently to Austin and have for a number of years. With two of our children here, we have dined out at many of Austin's finest restaurants. I am a partner in a number of businesses in Sonoma County, California, including golf courses, theaters and a restaurant. I am rarely motivated to write a restaurant review, particularly a glowing review. My wife found Oz. Tap House online and it was very close to our hotel. My personal experience with tap houses is that they have great beer, but mediocre food and generally less than mediocre service. I went online and looked at the menu, still not particularly enthusiastic. But I decided to place a dinner order for my wife and I and was immediately blown away by the online ordering system. Virtually every menu item can be custom ordered in a dizzying variety of ways. I even remarked to my wife that it was the finest online ordering software that I had ever seen. But ordering is one thing and execution is another. My wife ordered the Oz. House Burger (Beef), cooked medium, substituting lettuce wrap for the bun and adding avocado with a small avocado jalapeno side salad. Again, the customization options were many. I ordered the Charcuterie Pretzel and a Side Caesar Salad, with no croutons. I knew the restaurant was only a couple of minute drive, but even then the speed of the announcement of the projected pickup time and the time itself was amazing; less than 15 minutes. When I picked up the meals at curbside, I told the waitress how impressed I had been with the online ordering system and she thanked me and told me she would have to tell her husband. Turns out Krista and her husband, Sean, own and operate the restaurant. I had assumed with the level of sophistication that it must be a franchise or chain, but no, Oz. is a true mom and pop restaurant. When leaving I told Krista that the proof would be in (i) whether the delivered food matched the order and (ii) the quality of the food. I had barely started eating when my wife announced that her salad was spectacular and the burger one of the best she had ever had. My meal was every bit as impressive. Again, uncharacteristically for me, I called Krista (even though the restaurant was hopping and I knew she was busy), just to tell her that the food was as good or better than the service. This is as advertised: true farm-to-market fare, exceedingly fresh, expertly prepared as ordered and quickly delivered. Yes, Oz. may not have McDonald's prices, but it has infinitely superior food, expertly prepared and efficiently delivered. We admittedly didn't even try what was probably the standout feature of the restaurant: the beer. I assume if the restaurant part of the tap house was spectacular, the beer side of it must be even more so. Next time. Do yourself a favor and try the Oz. Tap House. My very best wishes to Krista and Sean on a very successful business in a tough industry.“

“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.“

“I just recently started coming to Pinthouse Pizza and I wish I would've found this place sooner! I have gone 2 separate times in the last 3 weeks. Pizza is delicious and they have a good selection of beers. Such a fun place to hang out with some friends, eat good pizza and have a few beers.“

“A really cozy place with plenty of shade and a true beer garden vibe. They have a great selection of beers, and every Monday they even offer a free meal. It’s great to see places still offering specials like this. I’ll definitely be coming back! 👍🏼“

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

“There’s so many pizza options in Austin, and a lot of them are delicious, though some are too pricey to visit regularly. Pinthouse is such a solid option that isn’t unreasonably priced. It’s consistently delicious & they often change up the menu with creative new options, which are always great.“

“Stopped by after arriving at the airport. Great place to grab pizza for the kids and a few great beers for the grown-ups!“

“Came here for the Oktoberfest event and had a great time. Good food, good beers, fun Stein holding competition, great music. Had a sour taste in my mouth when trying to close out as they were unable to find my tab. I couldn't close out or get a receipt. Then this morning, lo and behold I have a larger than expected bill with no clue what they charged me for or receipt of my purchases. The event was quite packed and tables were hard to come by, parking was plentiful however.

Edit: discussed the issue with the owner and cleared it all up. Thank you, Whitney!“

“I don’t like pizza, however, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had! I love the pizza that comes with pears and prosciutto meat!“

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

“Tasted your "Occupy MÄRZ" German style lager today. I cannot recall when the last time was I bought a domestic beer until today when I picked up a 6pak of "Occupy MÄRZ"! Thanks for making a great German style brew!“

“Great service, good food, good vibe. Mat was a great server!“
