12 Best Pubs in Austin

“Ended up in Austin for a night and looked for a local place to get some grub, and we found Crown & Anchor Pub. I can't even express how pleased I am with our experience, it was busy all night but never overcrowded, the staff was quick, on top of it, and the most friendly humans I've ran into in the service industry in years. The food came out fast and hot and delicious. Big John was very friendly and definitely made an impression on this group from Portland OR.Vegetarian options: They had veggie burger and veggie dog options, as well as grilled cheese, the ability to omit toppings on things like the nachos. I got a veggie burger, and it was really good!“

“This was once our home away from home. We’ve moved farther away, so it’s hard to get there as often. But we still love it when we can. Owners Christina and Edgar are amazing. The staff are also fabulous. The regular crowed is just great people. The drinks are great. The food is great. Indoor and outdoor seating. Some parking around back. It’s got it all.“

“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“

“Great food choices. Good beer, and great service.“

“Very polite staff. I wish I'd caught her name, because our server was so sweet when I sent back the Jellyfish salad and she let me sub it for eel. There wasn't anything wrong with the jellyfish - it was well put together, and if you like spicy, tangy seafood dishes, then PLEASE give it a try.The eel was phenomenal, though. Sweet and savory, it practically melts in your mouth, and it goes very well with the caramelized onions.If you were our waitress and you see this, I was a little too shy to thank you as much as I wanted to. I really appreciated your patience and kindness. We were the fourtop in the booth right by the door.“

“Not only a friendly staff the food is absolutely wonderful. I tried all three of the special burgers (chicken, black garlic, and the hot stuff) and they were delicious!!! The real centerpiece of it all is the loaded fried which have a vegan spare ribs on top. If you ever need a bite please give this place a try!“

“Hubby read about this place having great burgers on Reddit so we went with our gran-pups riding along for an adventure. Weather was nice, great outdoor patio to enjoy. But when we got there and checked out the menu our go-to favs screamed out- so instead of getting burgers he had a BLT and I got a Reuben sandwich. The guy inside that took my order was so nice and friendly. Both sandwiches were SO good! Fried okra was perfectly fried, not overdone or greasy. Did not disappoint and everyone enjoyed! I guess our burger adventure will need to continue and we'll be back for those soon-:)“

“Great atmosphere and good pizza! Definitely gonna be a regular spot for us.“

“This is the place you have been looking for. Regulars welcome. Pints, conversation, and good times.“

“Came by with my wife to kill an hour before eating at Foreign & Domestic. It's a cute place with a nice sitting area out back to go with the inside atea. We ordered some pimento cheese w French crostinis and pickled vegetables to eat with our drinks. My wife enjoyed an N/A equivalent of an aperol spritz ehile I had a bourbon sour w bitters that was pretty tasty. The salt on the crostinis and strongly pickled veggies paired perfectly. Nice music--mellow--played in the background and our bartender was friendly and very helpful identifying my drink choice. Happy Hour had some great deals, too. We'll be back.“

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

“Literally my favorite neighborhood bar. The crowd is usually younger people, but not the annoying young people. & Ben, the bartender, just give him all your money. He’s the best bartender ever. After being here twice he already had mine & my fiancé’s order down. Will be here Every. Single. Night.“
