50 Best Sports Bars in Austin

“Marissa and Chloe were phenomenal bartenders. Marissa suggested The crispy chicken ranch with spicy Thai & it was great. The ambience was such a vibe. I’ll be back for some football and beer!!!“

“Great find. Frankly, we just needed a lunch place near the Hilton Garden Inn in d/t Austin for some out of town folks & it did the job.

While I wouldn’t get the tuna tartare again, the rest was great for regular American fare. For $22, I can probably make 3 servings. The waitress was amazing. Sorry I forgot her name & the ambience was solid.“

“Stopped by to grab lunch and open my laptop for a little while. Really great chicken wrap! Watched the Aggies beat the Longhorns in Volleyball. *Whoop!* Also got to visit with co-owner Deb Hallam for a little while. If you haven’t made your way over to 1972, yet, get there with friends and have fun!“

“Had a great time at Eddie’s Tavern. It’s a fun hangout spot with snooker, table tennis, darts, arcade games, and a bar area. The vibe is relaxed, people are friendly, and the service was good. Definitely a great place to go with friends and enjoy your time.“

“We love the League Avs especially Lonnie!!“

“Had a great time at our co-worker get together. This place has good food & drinks. But the service we received from Becca was great! I can't say enough her positive attitude, great smile and great service was wonderful not to mention refreshing! We will definitely be back. Thanks Becca!“

“Arsenal's official Austin Bar!!!“

“The sports bar had an effortless energy that made it an easy place to settle in and stay awhile. Big screens wrapped the room so you never missed a play, no matter where you sat. The crowd was lively but not overwhelming, striking a perfect balance between excitement and comfort. The bartenders were fast, friendly, and clearly knew their craft. Drinks came out cold, food came out hot, and everything tasted better than expected. The lighting, music, and layout all worked together to create a laid-back but electric vibe. It felt like the kind of place you’d return to without even thinking twice.“

“The very best sports bar/venue in Austin. Texas Y'all!“

“ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE FOOD!!!! Incredible service, great atmosphere. BEST IN AUSTIN HANDS DOWN!!!!!!“

“We loved this place. Watched the rugby and had beers and pizza from next door.“

“This is an amazing restaurant disguised as a sports bar. I have absolutely no interest in watching sports, I come for the food. They usually have 1 or 2 TVs set on chive, so people like me have something to watch. Amazing food, super good service.“

“I've been going to Assies for years since they opened. It's so relaxing and fun in the winter and summeres are wild and crazy outdoor fun!! I gotta say your day bartender is awesome. Can deliver a Beautiful Cocktail with a fun personality and very informative!!

The regular bar staff is also very sweet, efficient, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place for any sporting event, company party, or just a general hangout with friends. The pizza place attached and the food truck have great options as well!! (Very dog friendly)“

“un lugar muy agradable y musica para todos los gustos“

“Was in Austin for a few hours before catching a flight, and i wanted Texas BBQ. Coopers was recommended by a bartender, and he was spot on. Brisket was perfectly done, slaw was amazing and I can’t find the words to accurately describe how good the jalapeño bacon Mac n cheese was. Topped it off with a local lager and it was amazing lunch. TOP NOTCH!!!!!“

“This place was legit!!! We had a great time hanging out at the fire pits, having a drink, watching the Olympics and making memories with friends. The margarita and bourbon lemonade on tap were fantastic. The food truck had just one type of street taco that was amazing and their elote was also spot on. Would highly recommend this place for a casual, low key night in Austin or a place to go before you head to the craziness of 6th street! These guys set this place up right!“

“The Bon Aire and it's new management have made this our favorite place to enjoy food, football and God company. The stage is always friendly, three food is great and it's the best place to watch Steeler football!“

“We stumbled across the cedar Door on a recent visit. The staff are super friendly. We love the Mexican martini and the brisket tacos.“

“Such a fun place to visit on our trip. Emma was such an amazing bartender that went out of her way to make sure my family (14 yr old girl and birthday pup included) had a great time! Next time we’re in town will be totally be coming back. Penny says thank you for making her 4th pup birthday great!!“

“Great food the music is always good the tv screens have all the sports you can want and staff is super friendly“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place is such a hidden gem. Everyone talks about the bar, but do NOT sleep on the food in the back — it is next level.

Everything I ordered was insanely fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The dishes were rich, perfectly balanced, and honestly some of the best bites I’ve had in Austin in a long time. You can tell real care and intention goes into the food, not just cocktails.

It feels like you stumble into this secret restaurant tucked behind a cool, intimate bar, and suddenly you’re eating something that tastes like it belongs in a top-tier spot. Soooo delicious — every bite.

If you go here, absolutely order food. This is not just a bar… it’s a full hidden culinary experience. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Soo delicious!! Definitely one of THE BEST calzones we’ve ever had!!! Gotta try this place!“

“This place is more than just a beer stop on the golf course! Delicious tacos and hot dogs, with a side of really nice people working there, it’s worth your time to meet friends for happy hour or lunch. Don’t sleep on the margaritas!! And consider grabbing some breakfast tacos on the way to the office!“

“Good ambiance - European feel. We only ordered calamari. Too greasy and was served lukewarm. It came out pretty fast, so I doubt it got cold while waiting to be served. Will give their pizza and tiramisu a try. Next time, will definitely skip the calamari. And they serve Lavazza coffee :)“

“We came for a quick dinner and it was delicious. They had what I assume to be irish beer that I have never seen anywhere else. Also, the Irish stew was really good, and there was plenty of meat in it. Very hearty. I will return to try the shephards pie next.“

“food is delicious 🔥 i highly recommend it an definitely coming back“

“They’ve treated our familia like we’re their familia for years❣️ I recommend EVERYTHING…from the food and drinks to the awesome staff there! I LOVE these guys❣️“

“ALL THE EMPLOYEES AND THE PEOPLE THAT I MET ARE ALL FAMILY THEY TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY THEY'RE GREAT PEOPLE NO DRAMA PURE EXCITEMENT“

“We were in town visiting Austin for the new years holiday and stumbled across kung fu and were blown away by the amazing staff & service. As outsiders visiting a new city, the staff made us feel so at home with the delicious drinks and great conversation. From the front door man to the speak easy.. all the staff is amazing!! My favorite bar in Austin.. HANDS DOWN!! Shout out to Maya, Jared, Celine, Myron & the rest of the the team!“

“My fiance and I had the pork egg rolls and the Mill Club. Their potato chips are so delicious and the sandwich was very fresh. The egg rolls were also very tasty. Excellent service and cozy atmosphere. We are right around the corner so we are happy to find this fun local spot. ❤️👍“

“está muy rico todo y me atienden muy bien como la manager asta su mesara Gaby y Barbara muchas gracias x sus servicios“

“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.“

“servicio y deliciosos postres“

“Please cancel my transaction I will come in and pay in cash one day I promise!!!!

I paid with revolut and it won't go through. I've tried so many times. What a great bar, and great comedy out the back.

I feel awful about drinking for free. I will make it up to you, but FFS please cancel my transaction I get reminded of that hangover every morning when revolut fails to pay you

Much love from rainy England“
