    Classic neighborhood restaurant! I went with a friend and we shared a Spinach Artichoke starter that came with sourdough, a Caesar Salad, and a Baretto Burger that came with fries. When we ordered, our waiter caught on that we were sharing the meals and split it all without us even asking... 10/10 service! Everything was tasty, cooked to perfection and the music volume was just right. They also have outdoor seating and I hear their pizzas are really good, it's Italian after all haha. I recommend checking it out.

    This restaurant is located in the 26 doors Plaza and it is a relatively intimate space with three booths, six tables inside, 12 spots at the bar and nine on the outside porch. They have a limited food menu, a limited wine menu and even more limited craft beer menu. They do have a full bar and seven signature cocktails. We started with their fried calamari which was cooked perfectly, but pretty average (should have tried the calamari mista for $2 more). If you order a pizza, they cook it in their outdoor porch gas oven (not wood fired like other yelpers mistakenly believe). My pepperoni and mushroom pizza was good, but it reminded me of pizzas I've paid $12-$15 elsewhere for. The crust was nothing special and it lacked any signature style. The wife's gluten-free pizza fared a little better. The smash burger was pretty much in line with your average fast food burger, but for $18! We decided on the chocolate mousse cake for dessert and I have to admit, it did not disappoint. Basically we got average food for upscale prices. Our server Jasmine was very pleasant and attentive. Food 3*, service 5*, overall, for the money-31/2*. Check out the photos and the bill below.

    We really enjoyed this place! The food was great and cocktails were creative and delicious! I loved that we saw our pizza going through a few stages of prep in the outdoor wood fired pizza oven too. They had great gluten free options, like gf pizza crust and gf crackers to go with the charcuterie board. The Tuscan Truffle pizza was unique, it had a savory truffle base instead of marinara sauce. I liked it! We got there right around 5 after a work day so it was quiet, but slowly got busier and was a fun environment by the time we left. The service was okay, a little off at times and we had to chase someone down to get our check, but I'm glad we also weren't rushed out of there. We enjoyed a 2-3 hour meal there and overall had a great experience!

    Had a little galentine's dinner here and the food was delicious! The place is on the smaller side but there's patio seating when the weather is nicer outside. We got a couple of appetizers and share the Tuscan Truffle pizza. When they brought the pizza to our table, the smell was so fragrant that our mouths started salivating. It also tasted just as good as it smelled! It did get busy after we got there and it seemed like there were only one or two servers but she still took care of us with full tables. I will definitely be back for the pizza!

    Want a little respite from the city without going too far? Post up at a picnic table and you'll…read morefeel like you're chilling in your buddy's backyard, if they happened to be excellent at brewing beer, too. It's definitely an accommodating, welcoming space that's designed to sit and stay a while. You can bring your own family, of two and four legs, and no one would bat an eye. The beer is great and the bartenders will graciously guide you through the list if you're uncertain. Service is quick, easy, and to the point. You can go from zero to raising a glass in under a minute if you wanted. I didn't investigate the food situation but I hear it exists. Bear in mind that it's right across the street from Via 313, which is what I tend to hit up before or after a visit.

    I am going to go with a minority opinion here…read more But I am sticking to my guns on this one. I think the Zilker Brewing Company is a terrible brewery. Okay - I only had two of their beers ... so I may have been freakishly unlucky. But since there were only 13 beers on the menu - 2 out of 13 both being bottom 1%-ers is not at all an auspicious sign. Yeah, they were both seasonal specials and not Zilker's mainline offerings. So it could be that the mainline offerings are better. I still don't like those odds. The two guilty beers were a) LA Pilsner which tasted like nothing. The bartender told me that this is a beer drinker's beer. Beer that tastes like nothing so it can be consumed in quantity is called "swill" in my book. b) Culture Creature which is a fruity IPA. This tasted more or less like cleaning fluid. * * * Now to be sure, the Zilker Brewery was unlucky on two counts. 1) I was there for a SXSW showcase. They are an outdoor venue - and the night was unseasonably cold. The Zilker Brewery does not control that. 2) It did not help that the first two bands of that showcase stunk up the house so badly I left the the showcase in disgust. (Including the once-good band I had explicitly come to see.) * * * However, as a Yelp reviewer, I do my best to be fair and objective. I ran into the two-bad-beer problem before I hit the freezing-my-ass-off problem and before any of the bands had started playing. So I knew where I stood on the beer before these other distractions emerged. Suffice it to say, I am not coming back here to drink any time soon.

The venue itself has a lively, open feel with an urban backyard vibe and plenty of space to move around, mingle, and actually take in the installation without feeling crowded. What stood out most was how well the space complemented the event. The layout made it easy to engage with the installation while still enjoying the social vibe. They had space for working virtually as well as displays to test some of the technology. There's a nice balance between indoor comfort and that signature rooftop-style setting, which gives it a relaxed but elevated feel. The staff was friendly and kept things running smoothly, and the overall setup felt thoughtfully organized. Whether you were there to focus on the installation or just take it in casually, the environment supported both. The line was somewhat long to get into the event as it was at capacity and could only allow more people as people were leaving the event. I was given a drink ticket and got to try the Patio Pounder with ilegal mezcal, primo aperitivo, tropical citrus, coconut, grapefruit soda. The bartender was efficient even though the lines were long. The cocktail was enjoyable with the balance of smoky and citrus flavors. They also had a variety of food bites available including chips and queso. creamy street corn, and sliders. The food was gone relatively quickly due to the crowds but it would be replenished periodically. Overall, Upstairs at Caroline proved to be a solid venue for a creative SXSW event versatile, welcoming, and very on-brand for Austin's arts and tech scene.
