Stopped in here to enjoy the special happy hour prior to the Brandi Carlile concert at moody center. Given the heat outside we chose to grab a table inside. Excellent drinks at the inside bar and great snacks/appetizers that were ordered outside. We had the giant pretzel and the German board. Both were excellent and a ton of food. The location is great and walking distance to the Moody Center.
Didn't eat any food. Came here to watch the Texas game. Great game day atmosphere and tons of places to sit inside and outside. They have TVs everywhere. Outside there are misting fans and trees that , provide plenty of shade. I was here for the 1st game of the year and it was really hit walking around and tailgating. Once we got here with the shade, misting fans and cold beer I didn't feel hot at all. Sat with a group of people that we didn't know and had a great time talking...read full review

Scholz Garten is an Austin institution known for serving great food, including their popular German sausage board and large pretzels. This historic restaurant has been around for over 100 years and offers an authentic German experience, featuring a vast outdoor area with live bands, making it a great Austin pub. The menu includes tasty options like veal schnitzel, brat, and the bratwurst sampler plate, along with the best Ruben sandwich and Jagerschnitzel. Customers have praised the smoked/fried wings, although the selection may be limited during big events. The restaurant boasts a great beer selection with both local and German options, ensuring there are plenty of choices for guests. While the atmosphere can feel a bit run down and warm inside, it remains a charming spot with rich history and a lively vibe, enhanced by friendly staff who provide sweet service. The food is consistently good—well-made and satisfying—making it a popular hangout for friends, families, and college kids alike. With plenty of space available, it works well for groups or just stopping in. The giant pretzel is a must-order and really does serve 3-4 people, while the waffle fries are crispy and great.
