I went for the first time a few weeks ago... I had never been there as Im new to town dor my job at Tesla. I met the owner , super Cool Guy. ..He was setting up a food station. And I noticed his Safe food handling practices and I dig that ! He greeted me like we were old friends. I Liked it. That guy noticably puts Little special touches on the place that really make you feel welcome and comfortable. It left an impression on me and Ive come back with my Buddy Jon and Always had a great experience here. I recommend it. Tell Them Shawn sent you!! 5

Came through at 1030 on a Tuesday after flying into Austin and everything else worth mentioning was closed. Surprisingly good draft selection, good brisket sandwich, very friendly proprietors. Also, seems well loved by locals and involved in the community. Ill definitely bear this place in mind.

If I could rate higher I would. This place is the absolute epitome of why you should support small business. I ve gone in with friends a couple times now and every time it has you talking about it days after. Absolute awesome atmosphere that is presented flawlessly by the staff. Not to mention when I made a mistake on my bill by overpaying the owner personally contacted me immediately. I even botched that attempt the owner contacted me and 2 weeks later and I received my refund. If that isn t an honest business owner that you want to support I don t know what is. For sure will be going back there and bringing whoever I can!

My band played a show here and I normally dont have much bad to say about live shows. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed that this particular venue/ bar didnt have adequate sound PA. Thats the biggest issue here honestly.. I would highly recommend this place to bands looking to get there feet wet playing live in the scene for the first time but if you are anything more advanced than a beginner then Id have to fair warn you that no matter how tight your music is, it wont sound good at all. Just a few suggestions... If you are going to cater to live band performances and market it such then please invest some coin in getting a good sound PA system. I really hope that happens cause overall the place had a decent vib to it and seemed very chill. I have not checked out the karaoke nights here but I am told that those nights are better and the equipment they have for sound will work fine for that. I hope whoever reads this takes this with a grain of salt and not obsess over the negatives. The place has potential, it really does. Just not what I was expecting personally

I went there this weekend on a Saturday. I work out of town and often go to bars alone. There was hardly any people there. They had no actual seats to sit at the bar. The bartender was nice. The place had a lot of potential. But all in all if you are out of town alone and wanting to get a nice cold beer I wouldn t recommend this place. The options for seating to those that come alone are either a table of 4 or a large picnic table outside. It s kind of awkward to get a beer at the bar then go sit down at a huge table. No barstools or seats. The crowd was also very unwelcoming and staring like you are out of place. If I had a friend or 2 to go with I might consider going back but not alone.

This a good old school place to have a cold beer. It is across from the pick a part. So if you have been pulling a part off of a car to do a little diy and fixing your own vehicle its a good place to slake your thirst and reward your work. There is a decent selection of beer and a good bartender to listen to stories of bruised knuckles!
