My girlfriends & I went on crawfish Sunday! It was packed. They had 3 different DJ & music was fun . The place has inside arcade. Outside is a stage & many seating. There is a covered patio which they do take reservations for large groups. Sports wise they do have huge tv screen to watch football/ baseball. Thursday night live music & certain Sundays they have Chicken bingo . They do serve food & drinks ! Family environment. The owners also own the piano bar in downtown round rock. It's a very fun atmosphere. Don't miss out.!

I'm sorry y'all I do not get it. We went because we used to be obsessed with Recuerdos, I was craving their fajitas and queso. We planned to sit inside but my word, inside was disgusting, so loud, and full of unsupervised young kids. We ended up sitting outside, no one said a word to us, not a word. We figured out how to scan the menu and order. Food came and the queso was more like beer queso you want for pretzels it was not recuedros queso just for those going for that. Kids meal was $10, came with fries and 2 chicken tenders, they were thin one of our girls wouldn't eat them, no drink that we know of as no one helps us. The tacos were packed in a tin and were so greasy it ruined the other tortillas. My carne guisada was huge chunks of pure fat. We left after spending $100, tipped 15% because I couldn't bring myself to do less but other than someone running the food to us the did nothing. We did self serve water and the flies were so bad (as to be expected outside) we had to just throw away stuff as we were "done" with it so nothing for them to even clean up. We left disappointed and hungry. I truly do not understand where the 4-5 stars are coming from. Service was non existent, atmosphere was run down and dirty, food was sub par at best. Two stars only because of I was in my mid 20's and looking for a place to watch a UT game it was totally my vibe. But other than the Vision it is a 0-1 star for me. Ugh I'm so sorry :( maybe we just had a bad experience.

Waiting for the chicken to shit.

I have three words for you: Chicken. Shit. Bingo. Chicken Shit Bingo is not a game of strategy. This is not a game of skill. This is a game of pure shit luck, and the fun is absolutely fowl! The rules are simple: Each player buys a number, which match a numbered square on a board inside a chicken pen. When the time comes, the chicken is placed in this pen, which will at this point be surrounded by the bettors, all hoping it will grace their square with it little "deposit." And then... everyone waits for the chicken to crap. Once it does, the winner is determined by the number of the square the very first turd lands on. You can play Chicken Shit Bingo here every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.

They have chicken poop bingo twice a month!

This is a great place to go if you have children with you. Not only can you bring kids but you can bring your dogs too! There is an outdoor area where you can sit with your dog and listen to live music while your kid plays arcade games inside! It is kind of self serve unless you order food or drinks but then they drop it off to your table and walk away. No one checks on you which I found lovely so you aren't pestered but obnoxious service staff. Parking is ample but it can be tricky if you go on a weekend. We always have a great time here and their drinks are pretty reasonable, about $5 for a beer or if you want a mixed drink $13. They also have chicken poop bingo twice a month which I will definitely be attending soon!

Food was okay. Grilled chicken sandwich, fried chicken sandwich , and corn dog. Chicken breasts were really thin.

Located in downtown Round Rock, this place kind of reminds me of a Rainey Street bar, but way more casual and family friendly. They have a great outdoor area with lawn games and big TV screens to watch some sports. They have a great beer tap selection and also serve standard bar food. The food is pretty average and I would come here more to hang out and have a beverage. We've been here twice and it is more enjoyable during a non busy day when it is not crowded. The other time we came was during St Patty's day and it was way too packed - not really enjoyable for families. They also have an indoor arcade area for the kids to keep them occupied. Bar tenders were friendly.

Indoor arcade.
Lauren M.

Fun place for all, but very family friendly! All the main parts are in the back- green lawn space and covered back porch. The inside is devoted completely to the arcade. Food options are typical bar foods: easy finger foods like chips, dips, chicken tenders and more. We stopped in to try some appetizers and drinks to enjoy a lovely afternoon. It was packed but the service was quick and efficient. It has a very fun vibe and live music on the weekends. There are also HH specials and mimosas too. Check the small signs by the bar bc we missed it. You order off the QR code driven app tied to your seat under the covered patio but there is a walk up bar if you are sitting on the green lawn. Support local! .

Pixie Stick and frozen margarita

This place is super cool for the parents that like to get out and enjoy a cold one but can't get their babysitter to come through. The bartenders were all really friendly and made the drinks fast. My favorite was the pixie stick. I liked that you can pick your table and order straight from the QR code stickers at each table. The drinks were coming out fast and they didn't seem to mind the chaos the two under two crew brought in. Can't wait to go back when it's cooler.

This place was chill. It was a rainy day when we came so really no one was there. So we just let our kids run around and get wet. Drinks were good. Music was good. We got some motz sticks just as an appetizer and it was disappointing only like 5 small ones for the price . It's got a cool arcade there too where you can drink and order drinks at the window. My kids had a good time and all the games in the arcade worked without problems . We'll be back !

Three years later and we are regulars and have even started bringing the folks semi-regularly. This place is like Cheers because eventually, everybody knows your name! We sit down and the bartender is already serving up a pint of Kelly's beer. They'd start on my drink if I don't change it up all the time. One thing that came with COVID was providing chips to munch on while you wind down and it still carries on today at no charge. As for the staff, we have come to love each of them. Jeremy and Danielle are the OGs and I love the dry humor of both. Samantha makes a mean Paloma and is often pretty inventive if you ask for it. Kayleigh is a free spirit and entertaining. I miss Rachel as she was my goto for a perfect Old Fashioned. Unfortunately she has moved on. The regulars are what truly makes the place and bar room buddies are the best kind! We rob each other over sports and music and on occasion, a little political jab, but we keep it friendly and no one is afraid to shout "NO politics at the bar!" If it gets raucous.

The intimate space is welcoming and relaxing. The staff are incredibly talented mixologists at the top of their game.

They nailed it in every sense of the imagination from themed drinks (alcohol and n/a) to the interior and exterior decor. Hoot & Annie is currently The Mos Eisley Cantina. And, it is!

As we looked up at the TV, the original Leprechaun movie was playing. The staff were very friendly and moving around at the speed of light to get everyone their green dyed beers. There was over an hour wait for food due to how obviously busy a bar is on International Wear Green and Drink Beer Day, which didn't concern us because we had already eaten. For everyone else, sucks to be them. Our Guinnesses were good, and I really have no complaints. The location is quite narrow, but they make the most of it. There is a ton of beers to choose from, but I only had the Guinness because, well, celebrating a commercialization of Irish culture. Overall it does seem like a cool little spot and I could see myself coming back for a beer in the future. The Leprechaun movie was lit too. I'M SO GREEN RIYL: Brass on tap? idk

That has yet to happen, but I did enjoy a nice weekend brunch there with my girlfriend and a friend from work. The bar is super comfortable and cozy. It's such a relaxing and comfortable spot. It's not perfectly designed for a dining experience, but it's greatly shaped and laid out for a bar. My girlfriend and I shared their sizable French press coffee to start. 30 oz of the Lodestar Blend from Texas Coffee Traders. To eat, I ordered the Bagel Breakfast Sandwich, which is your classic everything bagel with egg, bacon, cheddar, and mayo. I added their potatoes as well. The sandwich was good and flavorful, while the potatoes were decent. They could've used a little salt, which I didn't see on the table and never bothered to ask about, so that's on me. My girlfriend got their Avocado Toast with an egg on top. Can never go wrong with some avocado on glorious sourdough bread. Lastly, my friend got their Dutch Baby Pancake, which I tried a bite of, and whew, what a delight. Ruby's bar does a great job at making you feel comfortable. It really helps generate a good conversation on a Sunday morning, just from how relaxed the atmosphere feels.

I asked and Sam confirmed they were half price during their late night happy hour. I ordered the pepperoni flatbread, which was above average and considering it was half price. It really hit the spot. However, when I closed out and was presented with my check, the flatbread was at full price. I asked Sam about that and he said he would have to talk to his manager. He came back and said it was his fault. There was not a late night happy hour and that I would need to pay the full price - are you kidding me?? That is what his manager told him to tell me. He tried to make things a little better by giving me a card for a free appetizer on my next visit... Sam apologized and admitted it was his fault, but also try to explain the situation by saying he was fairly new and still learning, but I still scratch my head at the manager's response to the situation.

Whenever we go to Round Rock we always say we should stop at this place and never do. They've got this really interesting outdoor patio scene happening that we've wanted to be a part of (you know, hanging out and relaxing with a beverage). Today (5/7/26) we got the chance to do it. We walked in the front door around 4 pm and there were maybe 2-3 people sitting at the bar. Decent enough looking bar interior. Kinda rustic meets dive. We immediately went out a door on the left of the entrance that led to the patio. It felt like the best kind of playground. Lots of room, colorful tables and chairs, an outdoor stage, an exterior walk up window to the bar, cool lighting, and so on. I was like a kid in a candy store! Loved it. My boyfriend and I decided we'd use the outdoor walk-up to place an order and sit outside. I told him I wanted to grab a couple of quick pics. While exploring the patio, there were three men outside as well. One looked to be a maintenance or perhaps construction worker. I figured he was doing repairs or maybe there after work. All of a sudden, one of the men asks if they could help us. My boyfriend simply said, "oh she's just grabbing a couple of pictures before we order". The second man in the group told me I couldn't do that. I thought he was kidding. I kind of chuckled and told him, "it's so cute here I just want to grab a couple of pictures before we order and it's a public setting". The construction worker guy pipes in that it's private property. I told them I didn't mean any harm and that I was excited to be there and I wanted to capture it for my memories and for a Yelp review. The first guy told me I "wasn't going to do that". Folks, I was flabbergasted! Everyone in Round Rock is so polite and kind and this was nothing short of bizarre. When he said that I said "ok" and we walked back through the bar to leave. I apologized to the bartender that we wouldn't be ordering after all and told her what happened. She just kind of looked at me. Pretty sure she was in a state of shock. She said nothing at all. A customer sitting at the bar kept shaking her head in disbelief at what we'd just experienced. I mean isn't the idea of being in business to have customers? Especially during a slow time when you don't have a large customer base present to generate income? Honestly, as I type this, I still can't believe this situation took place. I absolutely hate to leave bad reviews but sometimes you just don't have a choice. Needless to say, The Long Branch Saloon will NEVER get a dime from me.
