I had an appointment in the area and planned shortly after to meet up with friends at a close by restaurant. I needed to kill an hour before dinner and did a Google search for a nearby bar that had a happy hour. I decided on giving Tweedy's a try. I asked about margaritas on happy hour pricing and was advised by the bartender that it was pretty much just beer and something else that I didn't understand. Despite not being on happy hour I still ordered the large frozen. I took one sip and then told her that I hated to complain but that was just about the worst frozen margarita I've ever had. I don't even think I've ever had a bad frozen in Austin. I asked if she could replace the frozen with a rocks margarita instead and she didn't really answer. She then brought me this tiny little glass of rocks margarita in replacement for the large that I had already paid for. I quizzed her if that was a large rocks and never got a straight answer. Instead just nonsensical noise about I don't know what. Like the margarita, she too was a disappointment. She's not a good communicator or an outgoing happy person like most good bartenders. At this point I was pretty well done with this place and wrote off my wasted $12 on a bad lesson learned. I certainly won't return and can't possibly recommend this place

Service needs to get better. The old bartender with a five o clock shadow refused to take our order at the outside ordering area until we waited 15 min +.
When he did come up and l asked if we could order here he said "there are menus here right?" He was very rude. It sucks because the ambiance of this bar is great but he ruined the experience. I hope they can move on from him. Everyone else here was youthful but he was terrible and did not fit the vibe at all. When leaving, we saw him talking to some patrons negatively about customers. Definitely not someone you would like working at a bar. I would ve liked to order more drinks but the experience caused by him made my entire group uneasy.
Edit: I see he has been complained about quite a bit before (Ty) but ownership hasn’t done anything. It’s a shame because without him, this would be my favorite bar in the area.

Excellent coffee!
I was surprised to find this place when I first got here. Good vibes, and very chill.
Bartenders were friendly and I was tickled to see my tab as I'm used to getting swindled in Atlanta.

The food truck there was sooo good (the Indian honey chicken w/slaw on fries, can't recall the food truck name). The first DJ was playing some really surprising and great music, and the patio had plenty of space to chill. One of the bartenders even gave us a couple of pints since the tap was out to pour a pitcher. Overall such good vibes and a much needed great evening with my buddy. <3

Strong cocktails and good specials, the water they have for people to drink from the coolers is 11/10 the best water I’ve had at a bar. Considering going back and getting another drink just so I can taste more of that water

I asked to use the bathroom and the bartender paused looked at me and straight up lied to me saying they don’t have a bathroom. (Definitely racist vibes).
Even though it’s not Spiderhouse, it still feels like it. A comforting little piece of old Austin. Good drinks and a chill vibe-perfect on a hot summer afternoon in ATX.

Really good spot! I'm glad someone reopened it. It's a good spot for hanging out with friends, dog friendly, and a good green atmosphere with plants all over. I second that it would be nice to have more non alcoholic drinks. One downside is they tend to blare music outside on bad speakers which is aggressive and makes it hard to talk, it would be nice if it was turned down to a more background music level. But overall a great place.

Cute!! Indoor and outdoor seating, great a/c, good prices and friendly staff
I’ve seen a lot of cool live shows here. I’d like the atmosphere.

Great “local” spot in west campus. It gets busy on the weekend especially when there’s live music playing. Gotta find street parking.Vibe was super chill, dress comfortable and think east Austin “hipster” scene. Easy-going crowd and good energy all around.Drinks were on point, I ordered a ranch water with salt on the rim and it was perfect.Most of the seating is outside and there’s a lot of little areas to sit in which makes the space dynamic and comfortable.We were lucky enough to make it for a live band that was a lot of fun to watch. Didn’t plan on it, but it was like hitting the jackpot.Cool spot for some patio drinks and good for groups too. Will be back!
Parking: Street parking can be tricky on weekend/music nights.
