Shockingly most restaurants close early in Austin during the weekdays. We were there on a Wednesday night for a show at The Theater. The show let out at 10 pm, then we went to grab a drink after. We realized everything we looked up was closing soon at 11. We couldn't find anything! We decided to walk on 6th street to find something to eat. They had $1 wings here! Luckily for me they could substitute for cauliflower!!!! Score! We went and got 6 lemon pepper cauliflower wings. Almost perfection! They were warm, crunchy, seasoned, so good. The only issue was that they were very salty. It got to the point where I had to take the coating off and just get the cauliflower alone. They were still so good, I just couldn't handle the salt. The waitress was nice, the bar was large, open. There were many puerile there having fun with friends. I will come back in the future! This was a cool place read more

On dirty 6th street you'll find BBG's on the north side of the street. For all things sports bar you'd want. A big long bar and lots of seating and room for mingling. Drinks were flowing and at a reasonable price. Nothing bougie but tasty and real. Food was good too with the chicken and other nibbles. The owner Sarah is so nice and friendly. I'll be coming here to watch the World Cup. So many screens! read more

Awful toxic people. I ordered mild wings, they came out fire hot. I asked for a sweet sauce and they served me the wings covered in the hottest sauce on the menu. Stay away from this shithole. read more

For food, I think your best bet when coming here is on a day when they have a good deal for the food you want. Wednesday was $1 wings so that was well worth it. The buffalo ranch wings were great. Tater tats were perfectly fried. My gf got the cauliflower wings with lemon pepper but unfortunately those were a bit too salty. The bartender was very friendly and checked in on us throughout. Drink was kinda pricey for what I got. The bar wasn't too lively but we were there on a weekday. Weekends are more popular on 6th. read more

Just had a drink and an appetizer. Both were good and service was good. However the server failed to return our credit card. 20 minutes later when we realized we didn't have it, we returned and discovered it was not in the register waiting to be returned but in her pocket. As she was leaving!!! Trying to steal it!! Not cool! Just beware. read more

Food was solid, the tots are crispy and on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Good place on sixth street to grab a drink and watch a game. Harrison was behind the bar and was an absolute pleasure, the kind of bartender who you hope to get when you walk into a new place, I'm from out of town and he made me feel right at home. Great customer service, reasonable prices, yummy food, if you're looking for a relaxing break from the other clubs on Sixth Street, this is the place. read more

BBG’s - Lots of TVs for sports. - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Well, tried to sit at the bar during a football game, and the bar keeper kept ignoring our side of the bar... So we decided to sit at one of the tables and we were promptly taken care of The food was ok But the atmosphere was good for the game Plenty of screens to watch No matter where you sit, there is a view of the game. Really appreciate that Would I go there for the food, of course not but I definitely would be happy to visit for a game or a place to enjoy a beer withe friends, but NOT at the bar... They don't like the ends of the bar for some reason read more

Horrible service and quite literally the nastiest chicken sandwich I've ever put in my mouth.

Steakhouse burger (without bacon) was juicy and delicious! Pairs well with fries and will fill you up! Love the large portion. Atmosphere is great for watching sports and football, I was surrounded by TVs! Dry rub lemon pepper wings were excellent! read more

BBG’s - Steakhouse burger with fries. Lemon pepper and buffalo medium wings. - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

BBG's is one of the few sports bars on dirty sixth. It is a great atmosphere and you will be surrounded by TVs. They have your typical sports bar menu items. I tried the nachos and wings. They have several different flavors of wings I highly enjoyed those. The nachos were ok and was a little disappointed on. Also felt the service we got was subpar and they were a little slow to get our items out to us. read more

We decided on one more treat before the show so we hit 6th street and browed the menu on the outside of some of the bars and it Landed us at BBG. Service was good and the beer was flat. We were drawn in by the Mac and Cheese Egg Rolls/Cheese burger filled. They were pretty tasty and the Chipotle Aioli was a good match. As for the beer I would probably stick to bottled if they had it. read more

Came here as our last stop during a walk of the area. It was quiet as opposed to a lot of the bars and the place was clean. Ordered a chicken quesadilla which was big! It wasn't half bad either, but not exactly something to brag about. Staff was decent. Would go back again. read more

BBG’s - Chicken Quesadilla was ok! Not badly priced either - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had lunch here while in town for a conference. It's one of the "cleaner" bars on 6th Street and Actually serves food too. Probably a great place to stay cool, have a few drinks and watch a game on one of their 20 something TVs that are mounted all around the restaurant not just at the bar. No problems with service here, bartender and the hostess were friendly and attentive. I ordered a Burger with tots, honestly when it came out I was not that impressed and not expecting much but it turned out to be a really good burger. It was moist without being greasy and the bun held up to the burger. Tots, can't go wrong with them, were also cooked to a crispy golden brown. read more

BBG’s - Burger I even didn't try it - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

In finding a place to escape the heat on 6th Street and enjoy a cold drink, I guided my wife into BBG's. It looked like a sports bar and not too rough for her. We anchored ourselves at the end of the bar and menus were handed to us. This was a surprise where all the bars I hung out were drinks only. The menu has some decent items in it but we were not hungry and ordered a mixed drink. However my wife had other plans where she ordered Sweet Potato Fries. This place had numerous TVs showings sports and the nice bartenders made sure were happy. The sweet potato fries arrived and were cut thick nicely seasoned. It tasted great and perfect choice for our mid day appetizer. This was a cool bar where the atmosphere is great and appeals to those who enjoy the sports bar experience. Some bars look too scary to enter but not this one. read more

Stopped in here for a Christmas bar crawl. It was packed due to the amount of tv's in the bar and sporting events going on. Even so service was quick all staff was friendly and we stayed at least a round. Their sister bar next door Happy Chicks is co owned and is a little quieter if the bustling bar isn't your thing. read more

Ok so I got recommended to try BBG's "best burger bar in Austin". First we ordered their 5 wings for $5 special and they were great, so I ordered the 3AM burger with extra patty. Less then half way through eating the burger I almost cracked my tooth on this "nut", and I was just at the dentist this week. The waiter was great, the manager was somewhat dismissive, but the meal was compensated. I didn't put the whole interaction. Let me know if y'all want me too. read more

BBG’s - a fork and knife on a table - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

So this review is more about the potential of the place than its current iteration. So apparently this bar is only a few months old. I arrived on a Tuesday afternoon to kill some time before I could check in to my Airbnb. This bar is connected to an adjacent bar/restaurant which is kinda interesting. There is a ton of TVs here so it seems quite perfect for sports game. Add to the fact that you can get a nice breeze inside by opening the windows and by having high ceilings and that's even better. Happy Hour starts at 3pm which is pretty awesome. The pricing is quite solid, at least from my perspective. 1/2 off beers in HHs is awesome. At the moment, the bar isn't as fully stocked as it should be. There are no taps, which normally would bring it a few notches down from other nearby spots. There should also be a proper setup for cans/bottles of beer as well as the hard liquor. However, I give it 4 stars because it seems as if changes are coming soon. Also, the bartender (Claudia?) was pretty nice and was great at offering suggestions for local beers as well as some sightseeing tips (This was my first time in Austin). I don't know when I'll be back, but I'm assuming this bar will be great by then. It would have been sick to just tear down the wall behind the bar to create a huge wrap-around bar between both establishments, but don't think that's possible. read more

BBG’s - First brew in Austin - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Less than mediocre food but is convenient if you're in a pinch. The create you own burger is an always welcome menu item for picky diners. Unfortunately the meat lacked pizzaz. The bun was my favorite part of the sandwich, very soft and buttery. Hub loved the lemon pepper dry rub tenders but didn't like the mango jalapeno...said it tasted like sweet tomato juice. I liked that this restaurant wasn't as loud as others in the vacinity. read more

I was with a group of people for some Sunday football. LOVE that they had just about every single game on throughout the bar. Service was pretty good considering how busy they get. However, I was not a big fan of the food. The tots were a little on the salty side. The mac n cheese eggrolls was lacking any cheese flavor. The menu says that it's bacon cheeseburger filled, however, there was more mac then the bacon cheeseburger. I did enjoy the wings! The sweet hell wings were a hit. read more

Sat at the bar waiting to order a drink for a solid 10 minutes and was not acknowledged at all. It was 2pm, the bar was dead and not a single employee said a word to us. read more

Walked in with 4 people and as more of my friends walked in as the night went on our party got bigger but I was on my own tab with 3 other friends. They tried to charge me a large party gratuity because I was with a group and not based off of who I was paying for (their large party gratuity is for 6 or more people) the bartender with long hair and the tattoo on her arm was very rude when I came up confused and asked why I was being charged the gratuity. she said that's just how it is downtown when I am an austin native so i've never heard of this and only at high end restaurants have I ever seen that type of gratuity downtown. read more

Lately all I want to do is eat tater tots and sleep. Fortunately I just got a new bike to counter that... or enable that? It's now easier for me to explore even farther around my new neighborhood and when I saw BBG's has loaded tots, I added them to my list. Tonight, I headed out on my bike, intending to go somewhere else for dinner. However BBG's was on my way and I peeked in. Easy to do because it has an inviting, open layout, right off of the sidewalks of 6th st. Their speakers were playing 2000s alt rock, and that sold me. For being a sports bar, it was calm and nobody appeared to be paying any attention to the many muted TVs showing various sports. It seemed like the few of us here just wanted to get out of the house on a Monday evening like me. Fortunately I found a comfortable padded seat where I'd be able to properly unwind and savor my food. For being on "Dirty Sixth" it was far from dirty. It seems like it was remodeled within the past decade, or at least has been well-maintained. It's like they found a way to keep all the good aspects of a dive bar and none of the diveyness. The server took my order promptly. As planned, I got the loaded tots. I also got garlic parm wings as a whim, since they were offering a 5 for $5 deal. The tots were generous, both because it was a big base layer of tots, then topped with more than enough queso, melted cheese, bacon and scallions. These are a winner and I'll be back for them! The wings weren't such a hit. They were hard and the sauce was unappetizing. When I said so, the server offered to take them off my order. Definitely the right move! This was a good place to come to indulge in some junk food and take in a bit of 6th st. activity. I saw a few other people ordering the tots too, so you know they're a a popular item. Now it's time to bike home and promptly fall into a food coma and probably do the same kind of thing all over again tomorrow. read more

In Austin for a conference and stumbled into BBG's for a place to watch Sunday night football with a coworker. Tables were full but bar was not. I've never had such attentive service from a bartender who also had to make drinks for 10+ tables. I believe the bartender was Brooke and the manager may have been either Tisha or Tasha. Regardless this has been far better than other places on 6th street! read more

Wings were good. wrap was ok. Bartender was fantastic. Plenty of tvs to watch sports. Decent spot overall

Waited over an hour to het service while others were being served food that walked in after us. Never asked if we wanted a second drink. They don't serve white claw type products. Like everywhere else obviously under staffed and what staff they do have is not trained well. Didn't complain to our waitress. Not her fault. read more

This was an unexpected visit because during Covid dining in has NOT been a part of my plans. I'm so glad it was a pleasant experience. The server did a great job even though it seemed he was alone.

What a place! Walked in excited to watch some football, get a drink and some grub! Little did we all know we walked into the worst establishment I've ever went into. I don't wanna make this long but I will...we got our drinks ordered...20 minutes went bye and we still hadn't gotten our order taken. I had to walk over to ask the waiter to come take our order. Another 20 minutes went bye, no check up or refills of our drinks. You look over...the bartender was sucking a lollipop wondering who she be trying to take home. The waiter was flirting hard hoping it was him. The second waiter was standing there talking wondering when he was going to catch the next wave, and I say this..but the "manager" was standing there chatting with them and then continued to FaceTime his BFF. Still no drink, no food...there was 6 of us at a table. I requested for the manager...he walks over and I pursued a nice route...he literally listened and said who's your waiter which we told him, and then just walked away. Didn't take accountability for the bad service, but at the same time our food finally showed up after 65 minutes...also know we were the first table to order food.."bar food" and we made the comment we wanted our checks before the food had even touched the table. Then the manager comes out and says y'all ordered the food and have to pay and quote...said "that's wild". Then continued to not take accountability and called my wife "mean" because we were showing frustration! He then sucked his teeth as we said well I guess you need to get the cops involved because we're not paying. He pursued that route and immediately came back and said look guys we don't want to get the cops involved. Fun facts, if you're looking for a good drink, food and some sports...this ain't the place. They'd be lucky to ever get service from anyone I know. Bunch of fucking bums, honestly! read more
