“When I was an actual college student this place scared me, it looked old and it didn’t seem like it’d match my alt/whatever vibe but now that I’ve started coming here I wish I could go back to my younger self and slap em.This place is good, like surprisingly so. I’ve never been disappointed with the food or… the beer. They have an incredible selection of beer at a good price, a price college students back then and today can afford. The grilled cheese is amazing, and it’s a little known secret… but the vegan dog, let’s just say if you’re vegan/vegetarian they surprisingly have a good selection of food for ya. It’s bar vegan food but it’s damn good.The staff really makes this place even better. From the bartenders to staff they bring personality that ya don’t find much anymore, it’s a real neighborhood bar despite being tailored to the UT crowd. You’ll find a mix of folks who’ve been coming here since the 80/90s and fresh turned 21 year olds.It’s a great place to watch the Texas game on Saturdays and nfl on Sundays, and apparently they’re a west ham bar on Saturdays when the EPL is on.Whether you’re visiting Austin as a UT Alum from the 90s or a 21 year old current student, I recommend this place as a good, still affordable spot to grab food, drink and have yourself a good timeVegetarian options: They have a veggie burger and veggie dog which are very good, never had any salads here so can’t speak on that“

It was pricey, but that’s Austin, in my opinion. But it’s a neat little place to escape to for a minute. Location is great and there’s outdoor seating.“

“Very polite staff. I wish I'd caught her name, because our server was so sweet when I sent back the Jellyfish salad and she let me sub it for eel. There wasn't anything wrong with the jellyfish - it was well put together, and if you like spicy, tangy seafood dishes, then PLEASE give it a try.The eel was phenomenal, though. Sweet and savory, it practically melts in your mouth, and it goes very well with the caramelized onions.If you were our waitress and you see this, I was a little too shy to thank you as much as I wanted to. I really appreciated your patience and kindness. We were the fourtop in the booth right by the door.“

We ordered some pimento cheese w French crostinis and pickled vegetables to eat with our drinks. My wife enjoyed an N/A equivalent of an aperol spritz ehile I had a bourbon sour w bitters that was pretty tasty. The salt on the crostinis and strongly pickled veggies paired perfectly. Nice music--mellow--played in the background and our bartender was friendly and very helpful identifying my drink choice. Happy Hour had some great deals, too. We'll be back.“

If cheap drinks, pool, darts and corn hole are something you're obsessed about then what are you waiting for?? It's never a dull moment here and everyone who comes is extremely nice and is here for the same reason you are. Now sometimes you have to fight for those pool tables but honestly that's part of the fun. Now the bathroom is where the magic happens. It's always a party and a great place to retreat too if it's getting a little too loud. You'll make friends in there and more.“

“Let me start by saying this: Darwin Piano Bar isn't just another bar in Austin. It's an experience. Tucked away (hint: that's part of the charm!), this gem offers an unforgettable night fueled by incredible music and an intimate atmosphere.The star of the show, without a doubt, is the live band. These talented musicians aren't your average piano bar players. They possess an almost supernatural ability to play any song you request. No, seriously. From classic crooners to obscure indie hits, they tackle it all with impressive skill and enthusiasm. It's like having your own personal jukebox come to life!This interactive element makes Darwin Piano Bar unlike any other venue I've been to. The crowd becomes a chorus, singing along to everything from childhood favorites to forgotten gems. It fosters a genuine sense of community and shared joy that's truly infectious.But the magic doesn't stop with the music. The bartenders are friendly and attentive, crafting delicious cocktails that perfectly complement the ambiance. The low lighting and plush seating create a sophisticated yet inviting space, ideal for catching up with friends or enjoying a romantic date night.Whether you're a local Austinite or just visiting, Darwin Piano Bar is a must-do. It's the perfect place to unwind, unleash your inner rockstar (through enthusiastic singalongs, of course), and experience the true spirit of Austin's vibrant music scene.In short, Darwin Piano Bar gets a resounding 5 stars from me. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!“

“Great beer, good food and the service, well, it wasn’t terrible. Beagle B just wasn’t that friendly. I sat at the bar with a buddy for more than 2 hours. It wasn’t very busy and when I went back to order more beers it was like he had never seen me before. I’m terrible with names so I thought well, I get it. Although I agree with everyone making a living wage, I don’t agree with a gratuity being added without me knowing about it. 15% is way below what I normally tip and even though the service wasn’t great, everything else was. So to be forced to pay a gratuity is something I find frustrating. Especially since even though the service sucked, I would have paid more. I feel that the service might not have sucked if Beagle B actually had to work for his tip instead of it being handed to him. If you decide to work in a tipped environment, you should have to earn that tip.“

They ran out of the duck wings I wanted but the chef offered to make me something special with duck which was absolutely amazing. I also splurged on the oysters and they were so good...I live in Seattle so I feel spoiled with oysters but these were above par in comparison.The bartenders are mixologists and know what they're doing. It's really a calming and nice atmosphere with good music at the perfect volume and great for sitting at the bar or having a group.Well done and thank you for the experience!“
