“We walked form Moody Center over to Crown and Anchor before a concert and it did not disappoint. Two of us ordered their burger and fries it was perfect. Another in our party ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and she really liked it. The last person in our partner ordered the chicken club sandwich. She said it was great. Everything was amazing and served in a timely manner. The atmosphere was just what we wanted, classic Austin chill vibe. I will be back again.“

“Good dive bar! Has all the classics of a dive bar including darts, pool, corn hole, cheap drinks etc. No food served but there's a ton of restaurants nearby open late. Bartenders are friendly and quick for service. Didn’t check the bathrooms out but probably similar to dive bar bathrooms. Would recommend!“

“One of my Monday date night favorites. On Mondays they do 2 for 1 burger night and they are absolutely delicious. Howard’s makes an amazing martini and has a great back bar selection (which is also beautiful to look at). Make Howard’s a priority if you’re visiting town!“

“Great little bar. Yes, they allow smoking. If smoke bothers you there are as ton of bars around that will be perfect for you. Please do not leave a bad review just because they allow smoking. There are VERY few bars that we can smoke in and hundreds that don't allow smoking. Be kind and find the right bar for you.“
