33 Best Pubs in Austin

“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 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!“

“My go-to neighborhood spot for a burger and a beer on the patio. Huge menu with something for everyone. Best house-made blue cheese I’ve had (goes well with wings, celery, carrots and even fries). We love Billy’s!“

“We had a fantastic time at Drinkwell; on the drive back, we could not stop raving about it from the drinks, to the service and food. Every drink we got was thoughtful, unique, and incredibly well balanced. I got the Buzzed Lightyear which was bright and refreshing and then the Bamboo Highball which was a surprise favorite of the night! My friend ordered the Halfmoon Bay which was a great take on a whiskey sour as well as a second gin-based drink that she also enjoyed. Additionally, both our servers did a great job and made sure to check on us frequently without ever interrupting. The atmosphere is comfortable and it was not too loud even on a Friday night.

I hadn't eaten dinner and ordered the chicken sandwich not expecting anything special. However, this sandwich was so good and was maybe one of the best I've had in Austin. The chicken was both incredibly crisp and juicy and had a generous portion of slaw and pickles on it. The fries were also amazing and while we didn't order any other food, we've heard from friends that the burger is also great. While we didn't come for food, the sandwich was so good I would almost come back for just that... really an amazing surprise!“

“Awesome people and great food. I love coming here for birthday drinks and ordering my favorite Mac and cheese 😊💜.“

“Very good ambiance with a local vibe. Excellent bartenders.“

“Definitely a friendly spot.“

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

“There's a lot of places to get drinks and food from but there's only one crown & anchor! If you're looking for some of the finest burgers in Austin this is the place. Of course they have just about any beverage that a man or woman and or non-gender alternative to human could ever want. Bathrooms are a little disappointing but that's probably the last reason why you would go to this establishment. Establishment is very clean and staff is friendly and courteous.“

“This establishment is a must visit. The food and atmosphere is wonderful. The food is great and the service is top notch. Review by Gabriel A Culiat“

“One of the best cocktail programs in town paired with a super friendly and creative staff. What a great hidden little gem that focuses on their crafts which are cocktails, service, and probably witchcraft?Chill, comfortable spot with obviously the most amazing regulars in town and fewer real tigers than you'd expect. Also there's a patio.Perfect place for happy hour, a date, or to drink 25 sazeracs.“

“Had a great time here on our visit to Austin….Charlie and crew were the best! Will definitely be back!“

Keep up the great work!“

“Great atmosphere and good pizza! Definitely gonna be a regular spot for us.“

“Literally my favorite neighborhood bar. The crowd is usually younger people, but not the annoying young people. & Ben, the bartender, just give him all your money. He’s the best bartender ever. After being here twice he already had mine & my fiancé’s order down. Will be here Every. Single. Night.“

“Great service and amazing food! Love the beer selections and special cocktails.“

“Fun neighborhood hangout spot. It’s the people, the vibe and doable price points.“

“The wait was long, but Alli was the absolute best wait staff. She hustled between our large group and several other tables and never lost her shine. The food was okay.“

“Great big little bar. Terrific bartenders, tasty cocktails, and Geeks Who Drink on Mondays is a great way to kickstart your week.“

“I love open mic night with Jeska! She is the absolute best! Can’t wait for the next one.“

“Super ambiance originale, j’adore“

“The bartenders behind the bar are incredibly friendly and attentive. Ransom is an exceptional mixologist! Test his knowledge and be astounded by his skills. College nights can be wild, but the guys will never abandon you. They have plenty of pool tables, dart boards and corn hole. 10/10 must visit!“

“The bartenders are always on point with service, they are funny & very welcoming. They have a good variety of drinks and I just found out they have chilled coffee! I love to go there and play their Firelink games, so much fun! I had an issue with the money machine one time and the owner was just so super sweet and checked it out for me. The place is always clean and smells great! The atmosphere is unbelievably fun with a great variety of music being played on their digital jukebox. There is no food served there anymore, so I cannot leave review on that. Everything else is fantastic!“
