At PicklePub, pickleball enthusiasts can rejoice as there are two outdoor pickleball courts and a plethora of draft beers on-site. The shared courtyard has plenty of seating and tables, food trucks, a large LED screen perfect for sports and the occasional live band. During the crawfish season, they host weekly crawfish deals where for each drink purchased, it gets you a pound for free! Beezer, the owner of both businesses, made a thoughtful gesture by checking in with each table to see how guests were doing--a warm touch of hospitality that didn't go unnoticed!

Then the pandemic happened (cue dramatic lightning strike!). I started trickling in in 2021 and the bartender said "hey, I remember your review about us and i'm sorry for the experience you had. I had been waiting for you to come back so I could tell you." Bought me a beer. Everything else I previously said about BSS is absolutely true, it's chill af, cold beer, pool table, tons of outdoor seating, dog friendly, great deals, tvs, music. You really can't go wrong here. Esp with the people watching going down lamar and barton springs rd. So absolutely game changing service save there. As a hospitality worker forever, I totally get dropping the ball sometimes, but it's the recovery that sets places apart and this is a cut above. I am terribly sorry I didn't write this update sooner, but just forgot. Go here.... a LOT

Hello, I wanted to…read moreshare a very disappointing experience I had during my recent visit. I've been coming to your bar for about six years and have always enjoyed the atmosphere, which is why this interaction was so upsetting. When I approached the bar to order, the bartender, Julia, immediately said, "Don't piss me off." I was caught off guard because I hadn't said or done anything at that point. I was ordering drinks for myself and my partner, so I had two tabs. Before receiving my drink, I let her know that I wanted to cash out both tabs. After handing me my drink, she walked away without closing them. I politely reminded her that I needed to cash out both tabs, and she responded by saying, "You're pissing me off now." When I explained that I had already mentioned wanting to close both tabs, she told me, "I'm completely sober, so I know what you said. You're drunk." At that point, I had only had one beer. Whether she believed I had misunderstood something or not, I don't think it was appropriate to speak to a guest that way. I responded by saying, "It's okay to be wrong," which I understand may not have helped de-escalate the situation, but I was frustrated by how I was being spoken to. The interaction continued outside, where she raised her voice at me in front of other guests. I told her that it wasn't appropriate to yell at me publicly and that beginning the interaction by saying "don't piss me off" was also unacceptable. The conversation continued to escalate, and after I had already paid my tabs (approximately $18 total), my beer was taken and thrown away. I've worked in the service industry as well, so I understand that difficult interactions happen and that everyone has stressful days. However, I also know how important it is to remain professional when interacting with customers. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect to be treated with basic respect. I'm not writing this to get anyone in trouble. I simply wanted to make management aware of an experience that left me feeling embarrassed, uncomfortable, and disappointed at a place I've supported for many years. I hope this can be addressed so that other guests don't have a similar experience. Thank you for taking the time to read this I also found it concerning that you repeatedly emphasized that you were sober. At no point did I question your sobriety or suggest otherwise. My only request was to cash out both of my tabs. Being told, "I'm completely sober, so I know what you said," felt unnecessary and had nothing to do with the situation. It seemed to escalate what should have been a simple interaction.

I play a lot of pool and when I'm traveling, I'm always keeping an eye out for new places to play…read moreeven if I don't have my gear. I stopped by one afternoon and the gal behind the bar was super accommodating and even told me where I could get more of the coffee I was drinking. There were a bunch of 9 foot Brunswick's and they were well maintained. The house cues were a little beat up, but didn't seem to affect my game much--at least they are tipped well. This is a legit pool hall and I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin. I did come back in the evening just to burn a little time while I was waiting for some friends and the nighttime crew was just as friendly. Thanks for a good time, y'all!
