25 Best Craft Breweries near Sunset Valley

“Ordered our dinner today and to our surprise half of our orders were missing something. My kickin chicken came with no coleslaw, also got the crispy jalapeño burger and came without the crispy jalapeños, our side of loaded baked tato came with no bacon bits… We’ve ordered many times and we always get everything as it should be. We actually signed up because we’re becoming big fans of the food and service. Oh and to top things off we didn’t get out free pizookie lol it was definitely a different experience compared to all the others we’ve had.“

“Wow! Another great spot in this part of Austin. Great beer, great food, beautiful art, and fun times ?Our group tried almost every beer and everyone enjoyed what they had. I tried the Hazy IPA and the Rice Lager and enjoyed them both. I did try a Jello Shot with the group but yuck, not for me!! HahaFood-wise, so many options. And they have food inside and some food trucks outside. Hard to go wrong.I also really enjoy that they show local artists paintings that are for sale. Fun to walk around and look at the various artwork. Didn’t buy anything yet but maybe someday!Overall, if you choose to visit, I think you’ll find something you enjoy. Have fun!!“

“Great place for kids!!This place was recommended to us by a friend and we decided to stop in on a random Wednesday to check it out. The property is a bit far (we are based in NW Austin), but it is beautiful. It has ample outdoor seating - I would keep this in mind if the weather isn't awesome... not as much indoor. However, if the weather is beautiful, outdoor is the way to go.We are always looking for places to go to entertain our toddler and this fits the bill. Playscape for him, food for everyone, and drinks for mom and dad. Keep in mind the play scape isn't closed in, so keep an eye on the littles, they could run out. I only mention this because knowing this fact is important to me, but definitely not a ding on this place.“

“Lazarus Brewing is a great place, fantastic beer, street tacos, and impressive coffee selection. Whether you choose indoor or outdoor seating, the atmosphere is always welcoming, especially for your furry ones. Plus, the nearby spots add to the charm of the area. It's a must-visit spot in a vibrant neighborhood!“

“Walked over to Lazarus, very cool, somewhat industrial looking, hip brewery + coffee shop. It's not a far walk from where I live and it's located in the former location of 'I ❤️ video,' a local Austin treasure.It looks like people are parking into the neighborhood, so think about that when you arrive, as there is limited parking in the front off of Airport Rd.Had their 7% alcohol IPA, called 40 Days and 40 nights, $6.50 draught. Incredibly delightful. Loved it. Very well balanced as most (all) of their beers are. Seems to be one of their focus'.Will definitely be back.If you're planning on going there regularly, they have a deal where you can pay something like $1,200 bucks and go in there every day 'forever' and have a free beer/coffee. It's limited to one per day, but still pretty cool.“

“The beer here is great and constantly changing. It’s a brew pub that offers a quality environment to enjoy good brews and food. The food is surprisingly good, they serve paninis and salad. They have NA drinks like coffee as well as thc drinks but I haven’t tried either so I can’t speak on that.I do love the food here though, the food is great, I’ve had 2 or 3 different paninis and have been satisfied every time. The staff is really cool and it’s a good place to go relax, study, or enjoy a brew or 2. They have pretty good WiFi and it’s a pretty good overall spot.If you’re in the neighborhood I’d stop by.“

“Had a fantastic bike and brew tour this past weekend! Jake, our guide, was very informed about Austin and picked some great historical sites to stop at and 3 great breweries! My group was the only one that didn't also book the taco part of the tour so they gave us our tacos for free! Which was very kind. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin or even a local who wants to get to know the city in a different way!“

“Can't say enough great things about this place. We were visiting from out of town for the solar eclipse and this place made our experience great. Great service, excellent beer, clean, family friendly, good outdoor space, and good food truck. Thanks for a great time!“

“A cozy brewery with a great vibes. Really friendly staff. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have some great tasting IPAs! Their pizza looks amazing and I will try it next time. Love the vintage arcade with 1980s memories. The parking is free.Vegetarian options: A nice selection of veggie menu items“

“Great beer and better people. I got to talk to the folks who work there while drinking their brews - super impressed. I don’t normally leave reviews but when a homeless man walked in asking for some water - they not only gave him some water without missing beat, they also gave him some food. Pure generosity and good souls. 100% recommend this place!“

“At par with most of my reviews in Austin, this place often has great live music. Their pizza is excellent, and a couple of their salads (I don't typically brag about a salad) are perfect. I owned a brewery back in the day where we were very proud of our Irish reds, and theirs is better. Cool outdoor area with lots of capacity.“

“Good beer selection. They have more than IPAs. Hooray! The burger food truck is great. The chicken food truck is fine. The bluegrass days are great. Unfortunately, they have 512 Trivia. I wish they had another trivia provider (or at least a host who could annunciate). But the format of 512 Trivia is one of my least favorite trivia outfit formats in town.“

“Really great beer and cocktail spot on Rainey. This is definitely alot more chill, easy paced, and even a great date night. Large space, inside and outside areas, good truck , and great service. They have The Boot for beers. I really like this spot. It's easy more easy going and suggest you try it out.We'll definitely be back!!“

“The beer is great and the vibes are immaculate! The space itself is cool and casual with plenty of space inside and out and food trucks. Shout out to Hi Sign Brewing General Manager, Justin! I got married almost a year ago and needed a space to host a casual welcome to town hang out on a tight turnaround and Justin and the team were the kindest and super accommodating.“

“Planned a super Mario Bros event here, it was absolutely wonderful. The bright colors and open space were amazing. There are a bunch of configurations with the space so it's very versatile. Austin P was so helpful with set up. The bartender Nick was great jumping right in and taking charge with our specialty cocktail batches. It was a great celebration. Easy Load in and out for large item as well like video/ arcade games we brought in. Plus the sound system is sick!! Great place for private event!“

“It has always been a dream to live by a cool brewery and Fast Friends has made that dream come true. Wife and I love this place and can walk there... I look for any excuse to stop in, I was so excited when they started opening for coffee and breakfast... Great FOOD and AMAZING beers but the vibes are perfect... If you haven't been, what are you waiting for? GOOO“

“Little spot down south, but excellent beer, including GABF and Texas Brewers Guild winners (usually for their lagers). Crisp. Brightly colored decor, and with inclusive messaging. Should definitely be included in any Ben White brewery crawl, and could be the alternative to the others nearby if you're looking for something more intimate.“

“Popped in on a Sat afternoon. They have lots of sake varieties, cocktails and they even had a rice lager. They have a cute little resident dog that wanders around. She's a bit cautious around people but she wanders and lets you scritch her butt.“

“We were almost too full and tired to come here, but I am so grateful that we did. The service was great - they even charged my phone for me! They have a tasting menu where you get four full pours and then you get to keep the glass for almost the same price as a 4 beer flight so you better believe we did it. We started with the Imperial stout with orange and chocolate and that was our favorite, so much so that we got a 4 pack of it to fly back home with us. The cranberry one was fine, but nothing special. Our final two pours included the Earl Gray tea one which tasted so much of Earl Gray, that I had to also get that one and cans to go. The final one was the pomegranate sour, which my boyfriend enjoyed thoroughly. Unfortunately, there was a bike bar crawl, so the place was packed when we got there, but we were eventually able to find a place to sit outside, and their adorable decorated patio. Even the bathrooms were cute. I would spend a lot of time here if I was a local.“

“We love Hi Sign Brewing! It feels like old Austin here. My husband likes all the IPA's and I like the blondes, sours, and pilsners. The building is cool and the beertenders are always friendly and helpful. The clientele ranges in age and there are no 4 year old birthday parties in sight. And the parking is easy.“

“I’ve been chasing craft beer all across the state of Texas and this place is an absolute delight/gem.The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was great. Warm and inviting.The beer…spot on. I had Pilsner and Kolsch. Both were on par with some of the best local beers“

“Last Stand offers a chill and welcoming vibe that's perfect for kicking back and unwinding. During my visit, I was impressed by the great service and the tasty food options available. The selection of drinks, particularly the brews, was excellent and provided a diverse range of options to suit different tastes. Overall, Last Stand Brewery provides a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a laid-back atmosphere and quality refreshments.“

“This is actually a great place to have a beer, chill, and hang out. Good selection of beers on tap. My favorite is Red Bud... love it.Space outside to chill. Great food truck. Even have a spot for live music.Plenty of seating inside, a couple of rooms of the main bar area. One available to rent. Big screen for watching. Music performances inside also.“

“Wanted to say that the calamari I had here is some of the best I've ever had! Been to some places where it's a tad too chewy. As a texture person, that's a hard pass lol. But this calamari was fried to crunchy perfection! Ordered it on a whim and was pleasantly surprised Lobster Mac and cheese was good, according to my partner-- I just don't think the flavor is for me. Burrito was really good. I've been here in the past and had one of the lobster rolls, not pictured, which was incredible. Overall this place is a tad on the pricier side, but definitely worth it, and does not miss! Would recommend making a reservation in advance. We were walk-ins and had to sit outside. The outdoor tables by the walls have heaters. But the other seats don't. Could be a cool spot for your kids to play at the playground while you eat, too“

“Great beer, good food and the service, well, it wasn’t terrible. Beagle B just wasn’t that friendly. I sat at the bar with a buddy for more than 2 hours. It wasn’t very busy and when I went back to order more beers it was like he had never seen me before. I’m terrible with names so I thought well, I get it. Although I agree with everyone making a living wage, I don’t agree with a gratuity being added without me knowing about it. 15% is way below what I normally tip and even though the service wasn’t great, everything else was. So to be forced to pay a gratuity is something I find frustrating. Especially since even though the service sucked, I would have paid more. I feel that the service might not have sucked if Beagle B actually had to work for his tip instead of it being handed to him. If you decide to work in a tipped environment, you should have to earn that tip.“
