“Amazing. Must-go location in Austin! They serve up wonderful array of drinks, especially their icy coffee - Irish and otherwise. The Dead Rabbit also does coffee in the morning starting at 7am - their tiramisu coffee is a must have. Great food- their sliders are delicious. Wonderful service in a restaurant and bar with great ambiance. The team at the Dead Rabbit is so kind, considerate and friendly. Reasonable prices for an exceptional experience.“

“This is one of the best retro bar experiences you will find in Austin. They have great drinks, pool, shuffleboard and delicious bar food. Their fried pickles with jalapeño ranch are in the top 3 we've ever had. Be careful though, the breading is thick and retains oil so they are molten lava out of the fryer. Their chopped cheese and hot dogs are also great.“

“Lovely setting. Fun atmosphere and chilled“

“This establishment is a must visit. The food and atmosphere is wonderful. The food is great and the service is top notch. Review by Gabriel A Culiat“

“Fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch“

“This place is a whole vibe!“

“I’ve been into mama dearest countless times and have always been treated so well by Blair and Allen that I felt it was only prudent to let the people of Austin know. Walking into this bar will only lead to amazing drinks, service and a place to meet great people.“

“We loved the quaint atmosphere and the specialty cocktails. The bar crafters were amazing!!! Check it out!“

“This is a really cool bar. Everyone there is friendly and explains where to order drinks and/or food. It’s self service but the drinks are incredible and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the outside lounge. The burgers are some of the best I’ve had in town.“

“We celebrated our friend’s Bachelorette party at the Electric Shuffle and had an absolute blast. The food was delicious. The staff were fabulous and lively. And I loved that the shuffle board was electronic - making it easy to keep score, pick different games and provide instruction. Highly recommend!“

“An experience…..a must go to in Austin.“

“Visited a friend in Austin and he introduced me to the Buzz Mill.“

“This has quickly become our favorite cocktail bar in Austin! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing—relaxed, cozy, and full of charm. The drink menu is thoughtfully curated (not overwhelming at all), and every cocktail we tried was spot-on. It’s the perfect spot for a date night or simply to unwind and enjoy a comfortable, inviting space.“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic staff! I connected with them before visiting from Newfoundland and again the day we arrived. They were kind, helpful, and accommodating. Carly Rogers was on stage and she was phenomenal! She has four new fans in our family :) I wish we had more time in Austin as we'd head back there for sure!“

“The food here is wonderful, and I highly recommend the mushrooms. They’re perfectly crispy like chips but with that umami mushroom flavor and spot-on seasoning. I could eat them forever. The squash risotto was also cooked beautifully, with the squash itself seasoned just right and a slight char that made it even better.

The staff here are so nice and helpful, recommending things with so much enthusiasm that you can’t help but feel happy to be there too. At night, the outdoor area feels like a little garden with pretty lights and a cozy vibe. Just don’t make the same mistake I did and wander into the building on the right as that’s a completely different restaurant. Toti is just very small and easy to miss.“

“We stopped into Marlow on a whim while we were waiting on an event to start. Our bartender was friendly and let us know they have 1/2 off wine bottle Tues-Thurs. and was speedy with our drinks. The space is nice and the AC was cranked up! Thank you! Waller creek is such a cool feature DT and their patio overlooks the elephant ears and River Walk-esque views. I'd like to go back here intentionally and spend some more time during their happy hour!“

“Seven grand Austin never fails to amaze. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help guide with drinks. I will keep coming to this establishment for years to come“

“Such great barbecue! Great Dive Bar atmosphere!“

“Really cool, very Austin experience. There are only 15 seats so get there early or be patient, but the drinks ARE worth it!“

“I’ve been here almost every day for a week now cuz right when I walked in it felt magical“

“This place is an absolute blast—especially thanks to the bartenders who keep the drinks flowing and the energy high! But the real stars of the show are the dueling piano players. These musicians don’t just play—they perform. They battle it out on the keys with outrageous talent, hilarious banter, and nonstop audience interaction. From classic sing-alongs to wild mashups, they take requests, roast the crowd, and keep everyone on their feet. The vibe was electric all night! I went on a Thursday and it was packed—people were dancing, singing at the top of their lungs, and totally into it. If you're anywhere near the area, you have to check this place out. It’s not just a bar, it’s an experience.“

“I loved everything about this restaurant! Atmosphere, food and especially the customer service! I just wanted to give a shout out to the Manager Jesus. His engagement with my husband and I was the best. And for him we will continue on coming in. We live in Dripping Springs and drove all the way there to have lunch. We left feeling so happy. Just food for thought please open a restaurant in Dripping Springs. We have to drive 45min to an hour outside of Dripping just to have a nice lunch.“

“Supercool spot 🖤🤘😎🎶🤪👏 July 23rd, Saturday night with friends and bands: Stuck on 45, Morocco, Cruel Summer TX. KilLRrr night…“

“Great service and amazing food! Love the beer selections and special cocktails.“

“Well I would say yes & no! Nice place but the way the tables are set up is horrible. There isn’t a stage so if you are sitting at the small tables you can’t see the band that is performing because the higher table are in front. I think that the higher tables should go against the wall where the picnic table is or towards the back and the smaller tables should be up front. There are some people who are unable to sit and the higher tables but are unable to see the band other then that’s it’s a pretty nice place.“

“Incredible Deftones Album Release Party for “Private Music”! Great sound system, great bar food (kitchen in-house) incredible bartenders (Molly😊) and did I mention that there’s a sweet-ass record shop here too(?)! If you haven’t been here, you don’t know what you’re missing! Visit their website for the latest release parties, live music, recording sessions, etc., etc. This is Austin at its finest!“

“My husband and I are regulars at Holiday. They boast the perfect combination of atmosphere, food, and drinks. There’s no pretense behind anything they do, it’s just good shit. I recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a good cocktail and a good time. They never fail us 🍸🍝 p.s. of course try their famous martinis, but my go-to is a gin gimlet 🙂‍↔️“

“Lil Easy is a hidden gem! If you're anywhere near the airport, this spot is a must-stop. The food is phenomenal—authentic Cajun flavors that hit all the right notes. From the perfectly seasoned gumbo to the crispy po’boys, everything we tried was top-notch. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, with a vibe that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're just landing, about to take off, or just craving some seriously good eats, Lil Easy is the place to be!“

“This is a small, cosy restaurant with a fusion of Mediterranean and Indian flavours using local, seasonal ingredients from Texas. The restaurant offers a four-course prix fixe menu with sophisticated and creative food (Time Out Worldwide) (The Texas Tasty).“

“Just had a Cesar salad here and I gotta say this little cute place is awesome! Great wine selection and amazing staff! My waitress Ella was amazing and very knowledgeable and gave an excellent recommendation of wine! Very glad I stopped by! A little easy to miss since the sign doesn’t have lights but it was a very awesome find!“

“We made a reservation here for my boyfriend’s birthday and had an amazing time! We sat outside on the deck, and the ambiance was great. The sourdough and smoked salmon dip was delicious and everyone loved their entrees. Molly, our server, was absolutely fantastic! She brought a dessert out for my boyfriend with a candle at the end of our meal and played a harmonica while we sang happy birthday. We couldn’t have asked for a better night. Will be back again!“

“Food and service were great. The Basque cheesecake was exceptional! The biggest downside was the music which started out fine but got louder as the evening progressed. My dining companion and I had to lean across the table and practically shout to be heard. Is a DJ at a restaurant required? No. It's cool but please let us be able to have a conversation during dinner!“

“Best neighborhood bar in Austin. The service is exceptional if you know what you want. It's too crowded at times for boneheads that don't know how to order. The food is from Pool Burger downstairs which has an exceptional veggie burger if you have one of "those" in your group. Go there and share a pitcher with friends. Plus, they have White Claws.“

“Very Delicious and Great Location“

“Delicious BBQ! Great ambiance and service!“

“I am a little biased because I have been the amazing, fabulous karaoke host here for the last 10 years. Please come visit us, and enjoy the atmosphere, food, drinks, and the service! I will be there to entertain you on Wednesday and Sunday evenings! COME SING WITH US! #OnPlanetFabulous xo Murrah 😘“

“This is my FAV place in Austin to date. I love the atmosphere and the staff is always on point.“

“Great location with the cool Austin vibe🤘🖤“

“Very friendly staff. Nice, pleasant atmosphere. Really cool little place!“

“The person who took our order was very good. Beverages were delivered promptly as were chips and salsa. She took our food orders, and this is where the issue occurred. The person who actually delivered the food had no idea who order what, randomly set the food down in front of the person without checking leaving us to sort it out. Granted, there were four different breakfast bowl orders, he did know which had what in it. The food was luke warm.“

“Great spot. Sweet staff and tasty drinks.“
