Thanks Ellis for keeping it alive! Hook em Horns. When I came here to U.T. in 1995, I lived at the Castilian on 24th and San antonio. This was a hangout for most of us and all of the fraternity/sorority houses. Still is!

Tried getting a drink during rush hour which probably took about 30 minutes. Was met with an older bartender who was very rude and had probably the slowest service out of all the bartenders. Gave attitude to not only me and my party but other customers. Worst service ever. Avoid this bartender.

In regards to Abel s Dos, I was politely enjoying my evening doobie (outside in the patio area, I might add); when all of a sudden, I hear this AGITATING, GRATING voice: PUTTHATOUT. Of course, I immediately complied. No hate to this guy, understand he s just doing his job, but a simple please don t smoke that would ve sufficed

This establishment is frustrating. I parked in a parking spot that is divided between Cains and University Realty for a total of 5 minutes and was booted! I was returning a pair of keys to University Realty and parked in a spot that appeared appropriate for entering this establishment. The towing signs only state that these spots are for customer use only. With the two establishments appearing to share a parking lot, how is anyone supposed to know if these spots are specific to any business? Any person would assume this lot is a shared parking space since no company is labeled on any towing signs. I received a boot and removal fee of $100, but the only way to get the money back is to go through the extensive process of going to small claims court, which is $60 to form a case plus your time. If you are going to boot a Car for illegal parking, label your signs to inform customers that your parking lot is for your business ONLY.

Food was terrible, not a dine in restaurant of course to mention but service here is equally as bad. Drinks stand considerably decent but incredibly generic. Moreover, the lack of human decency amongst workers and an employee who sits in the parking lot to boot people who even step one foot off the property! This is a new low for the business and I will surely not be returning Cain & Abels.

Its a pub located near UT and a place that UT ESL students go to at least once. It is also a place where many people visit to enjoy a drink while watching football games or other sporting events. Unfortunately, the service here is not as good as other taverns, and there are only a few waiters/waitresses to take orders, so it takes a very long time to order a drink or food during busy times. There was no alcohol menu, so I had a hard time deciding what to order. I think it would be a better tavern if they hired more people and created a drink menu.

Came here a couple of days ago for a takeout order. Firstly, to the employee who rudely told us how more clear can we get that that is not the entrance, obviously not clear enough if people(myself included) walk through those doors so try harder I guess. Secondly, extremely subpar environment wouldnt recommend dining in. Third, not sure whos fault it is but they didnt have any bags for some reason for takeout orders. So I had to walk all 4 of the containers out to the car praying I wouldnt drop them. This time, the food was unusually more disgusting. Not sure why I returned here after some time, I guess I wanted to give it a second chance. Cain & Abels has failed consumers, nothing less expected from a company that employs people who fail basic human decency. Definitely would not recommend.

Ive been going to Cain and Abels since I turned 21. Today I went and there was a new bouncer, he checked our IDs way longer than normal but whatever its a college bar and we understand the apprehension. Once we got up to leave is where the 1 star rating is deserved. Josh, the bouncer, decided that he wasnt going to let us leave the bar until we provided a reciept to prove we paid. Considering we cashed out on our first round of drinks, we found this to be absurd. When challenged, Josh asserted that he knew we were underage. This was infuriating for two reasons: 1. Joshs first assertion that we didnt pay was just insulting, 2. He claimed we were underage, which if he thought that was the case, why did he let us in in the first place? Josh even threatened to call the cops, which we did for him since we were all well above age and lawful patrons. Thankfully, one of his colleagues stepped in to tell Josh to back off. Ive enjoyed Cain and Abels for the latter half of my undergraduate degree and even afterwards. Josh has given the complete opposite experience and has no business being anywhere near this UT tradition.
