14 Best Gastropubs in Austin

“Came to this bar because it was across from a place we were doing escape rooms at!! Very chill dive bar but also a dart bar. There were many tables available and they serve food! The good was really good for it being bar food! I got loaded fries and they were really good!“

“Awesome burgers awesome fries. The staff was amazing very friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“Excellent menu for all occasions. My top pick for the austin area. ❤️“

“Overall Experience: This place truly exceeded expectations! The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating a perfect atmosphere for a great dining experience. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff making sure every detail was taken care of.

Starters: I began with the Duck Fat Fries—while they were solid and well-prepared, they didn’t quite stand out as much as I’d hoped. On the other hand, the Bone Marrow was an absolute highlight! Rich and flavorful, it paired beautifully with the fries, creating a satisfying combination that elevated the overall experience.

Main Course: For the main, I opted for the Korean Pork Belly. The dish was full of bold flavors, and it complemented the Black Walnut Old Fashioned perfectly. While the flavor was fantastic, I was expecting the pork belly to be more tender—it leaned a bit on the dry side. Nonetheless, it was still a delicious dish that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Final Thoughts: This place offers a fantastic dining experience with a perfect blend of great food, drink, and service. While there were a couple of minor expectations that weren’t fully met, I would definitely return for more. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

“Nice little place that reminds me of the old Dog and Duck on Tuesday nights. Burgers and snacks were good. The music wasn’t so loud that I had to yell across the table, but I could hear every single song.“

“I love this place and have started coming weekly to play games. I love the selection of games and the fact they will teach them to you. The food is really good, too. The atmosphere is pub like but still has the perfect light for playing games. The staff is super nice. I recommend this place to everyone!“

“The whole meal was enjoyable. Great staff and even better food. You should definitely check this place out !!“

“I took myself here on a solo date on Valentine's Day 2025. They had amazing seasonal drinks with picks that had a red heart on the end. The pulled pork sliders are to die for, and I'd drive all the way back just to get those again. Sitting at the bar as a solo patron was perfect, as I got to see my food and drink be prepared right in front of me. Talking to the servers who worked the bar was a fun touch of good ol' Texan hospitality that made me feel noticed and valued as a customer on a holiday meant for togetherness. The next time I'm in the Austin area, I WILL pay another visit to this amazing place!“

“Unforgettable when has a host done me a good job that girl Noelia helped us and squeezed our party of 15 within minutes we were amazed at her service and her smile I usually never write a review but amazing job and friendly we are coming here much more a million stars if I could“

“Roaring Fork has a great vibe — cozy, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed dinner. Our server, Kaliana, was awesome. She's new but super friendly and really made the experience better. The food was good overall. I ordered a burger that had great flavor, though I did find a piece of lettuce that had gone bad, which was a bit of a letdown. Everything else was solid. All in all, good spot with great service and a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely go back.“

“Burgers were delicious. This was recommended by a friend and we shall return.“

“Super ambiance originale, j’adore“

“Wow! What an experience! Great location, great concept, great foods and great drinks! Would have given 3 stars if it wasn’t for Andrea! Give her a promotion yesterday! Other than that, it’s pretty neat. Give it a try. You wouldn’t regret it.“

“We went on a Friday evening and it was not crowded at all. The employees said hi when my kids and I walked in, and we just grabbed a seat at a picnic table out back. The guy serving us was very friendly, attentive and on top of things, although there was one guy who originally sat us who didn't seem to care to be there and didn't know the answers to any of my questions. Thank goodness it was happy hour because the prices are pretty high for their dinner menu. We got a pizza for half off and some $ off the margaritas which made it affordable. The food was good, especially the brussels sprouts we ordered, and although some of the main menu items looked delicious, I just couldn't justify spending that much. The outside area was a great place for kids with an open turfed area, playground, roller coaster car tracks, covered patio, and picnic tables. It was a good time!“
