Very competitive price for tasty burgers and fries. The staff is extremely courteous and only once questioned my beloved rescue service dog, Annie (My Little Orphan Annie). The atmosphere is low light with an admirable maritime motif. This spot is especially reminiscing for me as a deep sea diver! This jewel is local to my home in the Hyde Park neighborhood of central Austin. I take visiting family and friends here for the quality of all its services. Give it a go!
When I was an actual college student this place scared me, it looked old and it didn’t seem like it’d match my alt/whatever vibe but now that I’ve started coming here I wish I could go back to my younger self and slap em. This place is good, like surprisingly so. I’ve never been disappointed with the food or… the beer. They have an incredible selection of beer at a good price, a price college students back then and today can afford. The grilled cheese is amazing, and it’s a little known secret… but the vegan dog, let’s just say if you’re vegan/vegetarian they surprisingly have a good selection of food for ya. It’s bar vegan food but it’s damn good. The staff really makes this place even better. From the bartenders to staff they bring personality that ya don’t find much anymore, it’s a real neighborhood bar despite being tailored to the UT crowd. You’ll find a mix of folks who’ve been coming here since the 80/90s and fresh turned 21 year olds. It’s a great place to watch the Texas game on Saturdays and nfl on Sundays, and apparently they’re a west ham bar on Saturdays when the EPL is on. Whether you’re visiting Austin as a UT Alum from the 90s or a 21 year old current student, I recommend this place as a good, still affordable spot to grab food, drink and have yourself a good time
This place is an absolute gem. We wanted somewhere we could go grab a drink with our pups while visiting Austin. This place was perfect. Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices. HUGE beer selection and great, varied food menu. They greeted us with treats and water bowls for our pups. Everyone was so nice. They even gave us a magazine of local things to do when they learned we were visiting. We will definitely be coming back before we leave. Love this place
Loved this place! By far, the best burger I've ever had. Atmosphere was great. Super nice people. Clean & roomy. And... a chalkboard in the bathroom. Will definitely go back the next time I'm in Austin!
This place has great vibes, great food, and great beer. Their clientele is a good distribution of college kids and old folks, which is always a good sign. Will come back if I’m ever in Austin again.
