CalyxAnnJune 21, 2013Fantastic beer selection, veggie sausages (3 different kinds) made in house. They pickle their own pickles and make their own sauerkraut, too!
So friggin' delicious. The duck, bacon, fig, the spicy pickle jar app, and the heavenly snickers mason jar dessert are particularly incredible.
Ben BuotteSeptember 2, 2013Dogfish Etrusca, tap #9, delicious and complex. A 2800 year old recipe! Try it before any spice to taste the full range of flavors.
Daniel BenettiMay 7, 2016Inexpensive, fun, and delicious. Drunken chicken sausage was delectable, I'll be back for another next time I visit Austin.
A Taste of KokoMay 7, 2014The Sunday Brunch is the ultimate meat fest. Bring your four legged friend and order the manmosa! Read more
Rebecca 😉😘 EscobedoMarch 21, 2015The jalapeño Mac and cheese is to die for and the hit dog with everything is the best love this place 🍻
Kevin ThatcherJune 24, 2016Tried the chicken sausage on the recommendation of he waitress; should of went with my instincts. The sausage was very bland, the rest of the dish was outstanding.
Rafael OspinoMarch 5, 2014One of the places I've found good beer. // UNO de Los mejores lugares donde he encontrado buena cerveza. Try live oak and circle blur.
CristinaJanuary 25, 2014There's a large outdoor area with long communal tables great for a lazy Sunday with friends
- Brian HerschaftAugust 22, 2014Duck, bacon and fig sausage, deep fried chicken sausage, and a killer peach cobbler in a mason jar for dessert!
Sue YangAugust 7, 2014If you're down for something different, get the South Texas Antelope & Venison Merguez. House original and amazing!
Bryan LeniskiFebruary 28So many beers on draft, lots of local options! Bartenders knew them as well, good beer knowledge.
Kev SkinnyFebruary 20, 2015Spin the lotto balls. Drink whichever number you draw. Pretty much can't go wrong. Beer down here is exceptional.
Scott WissonJanuary 20, 2013Moo. Great place, knowledgeable waiters. Get the Kolache bun. Always get the Kolache bun.
Vegans beware! The "vegan" caramel sauce is NOT vegan as it had butter in it!
- Lisa HFebruary 6, 2015Great beer selection, ask your waiter for some help choosing if you can't decide. We didn't try the food but it looked delicious!
Susan ZochApril 1, 2017The beer selection is great! The food was good and the atmosphere was fun. Biggest issue is parking.
$8 lunch specials that include any Texas pint of beer, any "Traditional" sausage dog, one side, and you choose two toppings and two sauces.
Allan BeaufourApril 22, 2018100% worth braving the college crowds. 100+ beers on tap and tons of homemade sausages
Timothy KimOctober 10, 2015Get there early or expect long waits to be seated, especially on weekends. Over 100 great beers on tap- This place has one of the best beer selections in Austin. Over 100 taps!
Andre JurgensenSeptember 29, 2014Chicken Sausage is too good, but be prepared to have 3 backups for your order, there's a good chance they'll be out of what you want.
Lucy ChenAugust 27, 2023Good variety of beers. Closes pretty early relative to rest of Rainey. May impose 20% tip on any order
Rebecca KuoFebruary 28, 2013Holy shit the potato salad is good. To feel "healthy", get the braised greens and eat it with the potato salad. Mmmm
WD SprinkleOctober 3, 2013Grab your Tuba & order a brat !! or vice versa !!! great Oktoberfest experience this time of year !!!
Bill SpearmanAugust 11, 2017The brats and fresh cut fries are great! The service is prompt and the servers are attentive.
Their butterface desserts may be seasonal but every one of them is amazing! Get it! Try it! Savor it! Lovvvveee it!
Stefan BrahamMay 23, 2015Awesome food and massive beer selection. A great stop on any Rainey St. crawl.
Steve JonesApril 13, 2013This place has a triple identity. British pub, German biergarden and/or American gastropub. Great beer selection. 100+ taps.- Christina LMarch 31, 2013Live music is great. Staff is super attentive. Duck and fig sausage is great but watch out for bits of bone.
Love/Hate relationship with this place. Best beer selection in Austin, but too often I find myself waiting 15 minutes for my drink. Staff is overworked. Craft Pride down the street is better.
David SassenJanuary 6, 2015I really like their Dak Bulgogi. Make sure you pay attention to the beer prices - some are unaccountably expensive.
Chris HoughtonAugust 11, 2013Great beer selection, the sausages are creative, but I would trade a drunk relative for the green beans.
Dan O'LearyAugust 12, 2018Long tables for family-style social community seating. Outstanding beer selection!
Bring earplugs. It's freaking deafening inside. Great beer and sausage and AMAZING Creamed Corn though.
SpenserMay 16, 2015Better sausages plus fried chicken plus 101 beers on tap plus covered patio seating.
Melissa HSeptember 29, 2013Boar sausage! Over 100 craft beers on tap. Jalapeño Mac n cheese. You won't be disappointed.
ShadiDecember 13, 2015October fest with an Austin twist. They have the craziest saussages and huge (local) beer list.
Roger WillisNovember 21, 2014Awesome beer selection, I was too late for the food. Great atmosphere, very beer garden.
Natalie AndreasSeptember 3, 2012The spicy mustard is not for the faint of tounge! Delicious meats. Make sure to get a flight!
Fantastic food, beer, and service! Be careful though, cell service is a little spotty (AT&T) and can result in a quick battery drain.
