“Fun place to have a drink and start the night for some east austin fun!!“

“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.“

“Food was excellent. Every dish we tried was great. Service was spot on, attentive but not overbearing. Also, cudos to them, I spilled my first cocktail which landed in one of our appetizers and they replaced both, no charge! Awesome. Only small complaint...although my manhattan was delicious, the size was slightly larger than a shot glass. For $17 I'd like a bit more. I get it, it's the world we live in but just be ready for that. I would have given 4.5 stars if it were an option! Will go back for sure.“

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

“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.“

“Lovely setting. Fun atmosphere and chilled“

“Closest thing you'll get to real small town bar vibes in the middle of the city. Great cocktail options, amazing service too. Juno was always happy to have a conversation and easily kept the flow going, but was also ensuring that he'd help every single person who came up to the bar equally! Great place!“

“What is there that you can't love about this unique venue?“

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

“I travel for a living.
I rate burgers as a hobby.
I am a self-proclaimed connoisseur.
I drive rock stars across the USA and Canada to their rock shows.
When in Austin, Casino El Camino is THE place to get a TASTY BURGER.
3/4 pound patties, cooked like a BOSS.
Ya can't go wrong here.
Just trust me.
Only place that can compete with these burgers is Coaches Corner in Covington, KY“

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

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

“This place is a whole vibe!“

“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!“

“First timer here! Everything was fabulous! From the staff to the atmosphere everything was so good. It’s on the pricey side, but we had a great time and I’d come back!“

“Marlow's has a very Austin vibe. I grew up in Austin and just moved back. Austin has changed a lot so I was happy to visit a place like Marlow that's dedicated to keeping the Austin vibe alive. The owner is also an Austinite!

Marlow's has a really in interesting and delicious drink menu. I tried both mocktails (option to add THC) and really enjoyed them both. Most mocktails with NA liquor have honestly tasted a bit weird and a bit off. I usually have one and call it a day. However, I really enjoyed the first one that I tried the second one, which I also liked.

The bartenders work amazingly fast and take multiple drink orders at a time and don't miss a beat!

There's street parking and during weekdays, it's free to park after a certain hour.“

“Shepherd is great! Fun times, good music and love the booing and cheering 🤭🍺“

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

“Love this place and the service is spot on! Great bartenders !“

“Such great barbecue! Great Dive Bar atmosphere!“

“Went to Holiday for their Sunday half-off martinis and ordered a dry martini. For the price point, the value was definitely there—it packed a solid punch, which is exactly what I want from a gin martini. It wasn’t quite as ice-cold as I prefer, and the bar nuts were overly sweet. Didn’t get a chance to try the entrees, but it’s a chill spot for martinis overall. One heads-up: their Toast machines calculate tip based on the original full price, not the discounted happy hour price—learned that the hard way.“

“Crawfish 🦞 8/10! Season perfectly ✔️About a half pound dead but still very tasty! 337 lady👍🏽“

“I remember when they were downtown and now that they are on the east side, it's better, IMO. I wanted to check out their happy hour, which is a really good deal! On Mondays, it's half off wine bottles. And their wines are priced fairly to begin with. We tried a listan negro, which I haven't had before, but fun to try. Our bartender Christian was fun to chat with and hear about the history and just talk about the food we had. Patatas bravas, the tuna pintxo and the burger were all delicious and you NEED to get the burnt basque cheesecake. There are a few of their classic dishes from before but i think this new menu is more approachable. The ambiance is lovely, they light candles when the sun sets and gives it a cozy vibe. It's a spacious restaurant at the corner. I hope they thrive because the drinks, service and food were delicious.“

“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“

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

“Went to Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar and it was one of the most fun nights I’ve had downtown. The musicians are seriously talented, and the whole place turns into one big sing-along once requests start rolling in. People were cheering, clapping, and yelling out songs like it was a concert, but it still felt friendly and easy to jump into. Drinks were solid, staff kept things moving, and the energy stayed high the entire time. If you want a “no phones, just vibes” kind of night with live music and crowd participation, this is the spot.“

“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).“

“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!“

“A must see during an Austin trip. Best service in town thanks to Tammy! Donn is a legend!“

“Great spot. Sweet staff and tasty drinks.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Fun Honky-tonk road house dive… good music…“

“Home of some of the best waffle fries I've had. The drinks are great and reasonably priced (I went at lunch, gin and tonic was $5.72), and I enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich but star of the show really were the fries. Whatever coatings they use are excellent, and they're fried to perfection. Couldn't recommend them more.“

“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.“

“Great down home Austin beer and cocktails spot. This place is huge and you can always find your own corner. Plenty of TV’s with all the premium sports channels. Dozens of Great selection of beers. This place reminds me of Austin back in the 80’s days. I travel from Round Rock to go there and it’s always worth the drive. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Went for another event there but this was indoors.
At first it was not so crowded but the loveRnb more event had folks in there like there would be a live concert.

The atmosphere was great and my mood and energy too.
As the night went by I found out there had a kitchen so I decided to order JUST fries because the gent next to me ordered real food but he was waiting for quite a while. I didn’t expect to wait 45 for fries but I did.
I kept trying to get the attention of the bartender and kitchen staff and what selling appeared to be the manager/owner to ask about my JUS fries order. I was ignored more than once. Then I asked the bartender for water because at this point I felt a bit light headed as I realized I had not eaten all day. Busy life.

But that does not excuse that fact tha I felt highly dismissed. Once the event got super crowded folks were waiting on drinks for 30min ms or so. This was truly a systems failure in the lack of preparedness of the bar/food flow for this event.

Finally I got irritated 😒-well I had because slight HANGRY. After being told they would bring out my fries when ready but at this point it had already been 25min- another 20mins later they arrived. Only after I had to gesture and yell out ‘where are my fries miss it’s been like30mins’

I will return but I do hope they get the bar and kitchen flow and communication down soon.

It’s a nice venue but I have no pictures because I waited at the bar almost an hour. After having my JUS fries I was ready to go.
Maybe next time I’ll have picture for yall“

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

“Great selection for us keto / low carb eaters as well as our teens. All the food is delicious, and portion sizes were ample. Service was top notch. Atmosphere is classy but still comfortable. Not freezing cold and loud, which are usually my complaints.“
