    Nice cold IPA at 5th Element.
    Robert R.

    This is what make Barks for Beers a cool thing to do, we found 5th Element because of B for B, nice place with a great smelling food truck. We didn't eat but we did grab a beer. Mike Brune is someone you want to hit up when you're here. Very welcoming and made the stop worth while. It's a small place and very kid friendly. Lots of seating outside and nice selection of beers on tap. Thanks to Barks for Beers we'll be coming back to 5th element!

    I hit this place up for my annual Barks for Beers event but I made sure to buy another beer as well. Make sure you tip your bartenders!! I think the standout here is definitely their King Bob which can have additional flavors and is a nice tart sour. I got the tangelo which was delicious. I also enjoyed their Pickleweisse which was more of a light refreshing pickle juice flavor versus a hit you in the face pickle. Plenty of seating inside and outside by the food truck. I saw plenty of folks with their kids so it's a kid friendly place with yard games Service was friendly and dog-friendly (inside and out) as well so I'm a fan! Not every place lets dogs inside so I'm glad this place does. I really enjoyed my beers and can't wait to bring my dogs here too

    Another great addition to the CP - Leander area. 5th Element is a recently opened brewery that is producing 5-star craft brews in a very cozy - friendly location. Co-founders Mike and Kim greet you as you enter their cute old-style Leander home converted to a tasting room. Mike spent about 20 minutes with us on Friday evening discussing their vision and his love for beer (and food). Their beer is the star here! My first choice was their Czech Style Pilzer. I remarked to Mike that when I sipped this beer I thought I was back in my favorite pub in the Czech Republic. Plus One ordered their Blonde which was light but had a great finish. My last beer was their west coast IPA. This is an excellent nod to the West Coast IPA style. Next time the Winstons Brown Ale and the Scottish Phoenix are on my to-taste list. I may even take a chance on the PickleWeisse, check out their website! They have ample seating room outside, with misters, but it was too darn hot so we opted for the tap room. I would imagine when the heat breaks it will be nice to sit outside and enjoy some (planned in the future) music. There is a Soul Food truck on the premise and they are serving up some interesting food options. There is everything from Apps to goat burgers, to pizzas, to calamari. I ordered the calamari as an App which turned into my dinner. You can easily split this order among 3 people. The squid was lightly battered and cooked to perfection (read: not rubbery). Plus 1 ordered a hamburger that was pretty darn good. Oh, their fries are spiced Cajun style I believe. Come here to drink delicious craft beer, meet the owners, make new friends, and have a delicious bite to eat! Easy 5-Star review!

    Beer flights!

    This brewery recently opened up in the Leander area, and we absolutely love it. They have both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a food truck which has an amazing fig prosciutto pizza. The beers run the gauntlet of wheat through porter. Something off the beaten path is a pickle wheat beer, which is extremely refreshing, given the 100° Texas summer. My suggestion is get a flight to find the beer that fits you the best.

Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The brewery is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the beer is excellent. It's one of my favorite places to sit for a while, enjoy a beer, get some work done, and then head home with a couple of pizzas for leftovers. The online ordering system is also incredibly convenient. I can place my order before I leave, see exactly when it will be ready, and time the drive perfectly. Everything is hot and ready when I arrive. There are good local pizza places much closer to where I live, but I still choose to drive about an hour to Obsidian Brewery because that's how good it is. Excellent food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere make every trip worth it.

But no one served us and when I asked we were told to go to the bar. So my question is if I am ordering at a bar and then sitting dis why would I pay somebody 18 to 28% tip and not getting a follow up is this being severe like a traditional restaurant ? No because we are nor really getting served. It's fast food service. Would you tip at McDonalds for taking your order?

As I was leaving the We Are Blood donor center on Bell Boulevard, I thought "why not check out a brewery I don't visit very often for lunch?" (kids, I am a professional. Don't try this at home--a brewery visit right after dropping a pint is probably not a donor center recommendation for most normal folks). A search on "breweries near me" revealed that this spot was 1 mile away. Winner. Plenty of parking front and side, the taproom was pleasant inside and out. I took a seat at a nearly full bar next to a good group of World Cup (ESP/AUT) watchers. Two big TVs over the bar, in a large taproom/dining area with 5 more, shared with the sort of "built-in food truck" called "600 Degrees Pizza" except it's a proper pizza shop, no wheels. There's a shaded outdoor patio with a bar window, and 5 more TVs, and a covered tent area beyond that, with a play area for the kiddos. Had a Ray Ray Hazy IPA, crisp and cold and delicious NE-style IPA. I walked over to the pizza counter and ordered a slice, considered the slice/salad lunch special but opted for the HH slice special, pepperoni at $5. Minutes later a guy delivered the single largest pizza slice I have ever tried to hold in my hand to my seat at the bar. Apparently they do a 6-cut TWENTY FOUR INCH PIE for slices, so my slice was 75.4 square inches of tasty gooey goodness. Unwieldy, and took some tactical consumption logistics calculation, but I finished every bit--a meal for me, and I was glad I skipped the salad. Very good pie, and VERY filling. One more small beer, from Jester King, as I watched Spain knock Austria out 3-0. Friendly folks on both sides of the bar, good beer, and good food in a nice taproom. I'll be back.

With this brewery I got a beer type I don't always get and when I do it's a nice change of pace and that is a Brown Ale. I took the opportunity to get one here and the name of this brewery's version is a fun one... it's called Velvet Nunchuks. The flavor profile in this one is good... in it you can have fun with detecting caramel, roastiness and maltiness. The beer is smooth and has nice mouthful due to that. Whitestone was a good stop even if it is a bit of a ways from downtown Austin.

Thoroughly surprised and impressed by this pizza. I chose this spot randomly because everything near me was closed (and we absolutely had to have pizza on this particular night). DELIVERY: They offer delivery and it was a smooth process. Easy online ordering. MENU: Excellent. Each combination of toppings seemed very carefully curated. Everything sounded good. PIZZA: Very good. We tried the Pepperoni / Basil and Mushroom Man. The pizza itself was nice and thin with a fantastic doughy crust that had little pockets of crispy blistering. Nailed the texture there (at least for me). The toppings were great too. The pepperoni did that little cup thing that it does when it curls up. Love that. The Mushroom Man tasted really good -- nice combination of ingredients (delicious mushrooms -- you can tell they were the real deal). Ultimately, this is my new favorite pizza spot in the area. Highly recommended.
