Went to Posse East several days ago with my girlfriend. I had been wanting to try it out ever since learning about it from its inclusion on a "best burgers in Austin" list. The vibe of Posse East definitely gives dive bar. They have tons of decorations on the walls that remind every patron that the University of Texas is in Austin. They also have a large bookcase full of books, which I really enjoyed since most dining establishments fail to show off a book collection. In terms of the food, I must say that the burger itself (we both ordered the 1/4 pound wagyu burger, but mine had tots while hers had French fries) was kind of a let down. It was very pink in the middle and the bun didn't really add anything to it. That being said, I thought the tater tots were fantastic. If you aren't combing the city searching for excellent burgers and you don't mind eating in a bar, then Posse East is probably a good choice for you.

We often hit up shows at Bass Concert Hall but this was the first time we planned to arrive early to grab some food & drinks ahead of time. Posse East was perfect spot. Not often you find a bar with a great kitchen. Will definitely be back. Tots were cooked perfectly, chicken sandwich was delicious and don't sleep on the queso.

I was in the ETC bldg for close to 10 years and have great memories of stopping by for breakfast tacos and burgers. Also have great memories of the great John B Goodenough (Nobel laureate) regularly stopping by for his burgers for lunch even when he was in his 80s. Great food, great crowd, great UT institution.

I'm biased about posse, it was the bar my friends and I from band would go to in college, so it's always nostalgic for me. But they do have a good selection of beer, a spread of food options and plant of screens to catch all the sorts you want! Also the beer is not easy over priced like other places.

Stopped in for a couple drinks. It was warm inside. No A/C on for some reason. Bartender was very nice though.
