University Draft House Townlake McAllen offers a lively atmosphere with a spacious outdoor area and historic indoor seating. The restaurant is praised for its excellent service, with attentive servers who provide helpful recommendations on the food and beer menu. Customers particularly enjoy the great vibe and plan to return, often requesting their favorite server. The outdoor patio is a favorite spot, especially when live music is featured. While the indoor seating is limited, it creates a cozy environment, though it can be quite hot during the summer months.
Guests have shared positive experiences with the staff, especially noting a bartender named Brandon who was very attentive and managed both seating and bar service efficiently. The place can get busy, and large parties are welcome, with seating available inside. Live music and games add to the fun, though the indoor area can be loud, making the outdoor patio a better choice for a relaxing experience. The restaurant hosts live music events regularly, enhancing the vibrant atmosphere.
The food continues to be popular, with the burger called the Teacher's Pet receiving high praise. Other menu items such as fried mushrooms and fish and chips are available, though some find the fried mushrooms average and the fish needing more salt. The drinks are also a highlight, with some cocktails, like the Vaquero from 5x5 Brewery, being described as delicious and dangerously smooth. The Sunday Brunch menu offers a wide variety of delicious options, including a highly recommended Bagel and Lox that tastes fresh smoked.
Overall, University Draft House Townlake McAllen remains a lively spot with good food, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere, especially when live music and outdoor seating are enjoyed.
