My favorite campus haunt, I try to visit any time in back in Austin. Delicious food, great beer specials, sweet patio seating – even in the dead of summer.

A great campus bar with cheap food and cold beer l. This is a great dive bar on the north side of UT with great cheap food and lots of beer specials. A spot to meet for a drink or two.

A+ beer selection, delicious burgers for an incredibly cheap price and possibly the friendliest staff I’ve ever met at a bar (and I drink at a lot of bars).

My fiancé is that obnoxious person who walks into a room and immediately tells everyone we’re from out of town. Maybe that attributed to the friendliness but I won’t complain.

We were trying to see as much of Austin as we could in one day, but if we had more time we would have stayed for a few more beers. Great patio too.

I can imagine this place being a complete cluster during football season. My alma mater plays Texas in 2025 and we may need to be here to find out 🙂

Cool bar with seriously the best simple bar burgers I’ve ever had. We go often just for that reason! Highly recommend

Everyone I know raves about their burgers, they really are so delicious. The Mushroom Swiss burger is my go-to. Great beer specials throughout the week with varying $3 pints. Great neighborhood pub!

Came to Austin for work and decided to stop in and have a brew and a burger. One of the best burgers I’ve had. It reminded me of a backyard BBQ. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was awesome and a lot of different beers on tap. The GM Erik is great as well. He was attentive to his clientele and just looks like an old biker. It’s right across the street from the university and has just a cool atmosphere. Check it out.
