Wow, what a bar! Am I right? They have the most wonderful staff, and they have the biggest hearts. I particularly enjoy going here on Friday afternoons to see Olivia and Gabe, they really bring a ray of sunshine into my day when I’m fighting off the last demons of the work week (know what I’m saying?). They also have the best music there, particularly those handsome DJs they hire. I’m so glad there’s still a place in the live music capital where you can hear real life Vinyls! Another round of shoutouts for the newest members of the team Gabi . Thanks for the burger, I owe ya one 🤙🏻. Five stars.
I love this place. It has a great courtyard shared with Zucchini Kill Bakery and is dog friendly. There are a ton of food trucks in the parking lot next door which makes it a great spot to post up for a spell.

Great dive bar. Don't come here to be seen or stand out. Nobody cares! Love this place and the vibe!

DO NOT GO HERE OR AT LEAST BE AWARE OF SCAMS…
It is such a shame that this place has such terrible service given that the atmosphere is so incredibly nice… this place had great potential.
First I would like to start off by saying that the blonde/brown haired female bartender has the world’s shittiest attitude and has tried to scam my friends and I twice already by lying about our tabs being closed. She starts off by greeting us with rude and snarky comments (both visits) and then when I told her I wanted a closed tab she says assures me that she closed it but failed to provide me with a receipt to sign. The reason I was already skeptical was because she said the same thing to me last week and I found out that she was lying. I went up to the other female bartender (who was incredibly kind btw) and I was told that my tab was in fact not closed. When the same thing happened this past visit, she had the nerve to lie to our faces yet again until the other bartender told us our tabs weren’t yet closed. After hearing this she tried to save herself by saying the computer wasn’t working. You can’t scam people and treat them so horribly at the same time, it doesn’t work like that. It’s so obvious what you’re trying to do, it’s ugly and it’s embarrassing.
Save yourself the time and energy by avoiding this place. Based on reviews, she’s not the only bartender that does this and/or adds more drinks onto people’s tabs. A lot of the negative reviews have also claimed feeling racist energy from the workers and tbh the only friends of mine that haven’t experienced something similar here have been white so I believe it. Regardless of skin color, beware and make sure you sign that receipt before leaving!

Great college bar with a large outdoor seating area and consistently good music selection. Pretty sure I lost my ID here. 10/10. Will be going back.

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.

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).
