Super fun super dog friendly bar. Came to watch a Texas basketball game during March madness. Friendly staff, food truck out side isn't bad at all. I only ordered queso but the other food looked good. Staff is super friendly and energetic read more

We came here to watch the UT vs Vanderbilt game! Parking is obviously a challenge, and don't park at the CVS/Office Depot lot a block away because you WILL get booted. I was surprised to find a little gift/souvenir shop when I walked in, but quickly realizing the party's behind the second set of doors! They have covered and uncovered seating options and several TV screens. Not all of them were on, so I wonder what situation would call for all of them to be on.... The food ordering is through a QR code sticker on each table. When we went, they had a cute fall display for photo ops and a photo booth that is more permanent. I ordered the brisket & egg biscuit as well as the sweet potato fries. Didn't finish the fries but they were decently good even a little soggy! They also were super generous with the number of ketchup packets - I got 3 but only used 1. My only comment is that the bathroom was not the best, but it's definitely miles ahead a porta potty! Also shocked at how small the bathroom was, given how large crowds can get on game days (of all sports). read more

Bouldin Acres - sweet potato fries, brisket & egg biscuit - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is such a great fun place. I like that it's a mix of indoor and outdoor. They have a bunch of TVs to be able to watch the games and then they also have the Pickleball courts to enjoy yourself and play. I do have to say that I love coming here for the food cause it's just delicious. It's a sit down place and order at the bar kind of place. But everyone that works there is always so nice and helpful. When it comes to drinks it's your typical bar so you just order a beer or any kind of mixed cock to let you want so don't expect fancy cocktails. As far as the food goes when I go, I love to order the pulled pork sandwich with tater tots it is phenomenal. My friend got the smash burger and I have to say it was delicious. I took a bite out of that definitely. And for the first time we ordered the giant pretzel which was so good but it is so much you can definitely share that with at least 4 to 5 people. We also got the chips and queso, which was pretty good. I just wished the chips were more of the traditional thick ones versus the thin ones. But honestly, I've been there so many times and tried so many different things you can't go wrong with the food make sure though to always try the pickles there they're delicious. read more

CM Smokehouse, separate huge bar area with covered outdoor seating and... pickleball courts. Great all around, cool to duck in for some beers and brisket, burgers and fries. Food was excellent, they bring it to you at the table and the bar was tight. Misters on the outdoors area were the hot ticket. Cool spot off the main drag, very chill and loose. read more

Bouldin Acres nails the formula for a great day (or night) out in Austin. Whether you're showing up for the pickleball courts, the drinks, or just to hang with friends, this place checks every box. The pickleball setup is legit--well-maintained courts, plenty of space, and good energy without the pressure of a super competitive vibe. It's casual, fun, and great for groups or beginners looking to try something new. Booking ahead is smart, but even watching others play is part of the fun. The food and drink options are better than you'd expect for a sports-centric venue. Solid local beers on tap, creative cocktails, and a food truck setup with dependable favorites (burgers, tacos, snacks that hit the spot). The service was friendly and quick, even when it got busy. Ambiance-wise, it's classic Austin: laid-back, open-air, and dog-friendly with lots of shaded tables and places to lounge. Whether you come to play, sip, or people-watch, Bouldin Acres delivers a great mix of activity and relaxation. Pro tip: go early to beat the crowds and get a court without a wait. read more

Bouldin Acres - Tap in the ac here at Bouldin Acres! - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Interesting place on Lamar. Pickleball, live music, a ton of TVs to watch sports, outdoor seating, and indoor seating. This place has it all. The menu is via QR code. Drinks are around $10 each. The food is ok, truck food. You order via an app, and then it's all delivered to you. The parking lot is oversized for Lamar, but on a busy night, it can be hard to find a spot. Limited exchange with employees per the model, but this place is a well-oiled machine. read more

Love the concept of Bouldin Acres. I will say that I've gone twice now, once a year or so ago and the second just recently. The rules have changed around kids so be sure to check that out before you decide to head out with your little one(s) and then can't get in. The space is huge, which is nice, and I appreciate the ease of scanning a QR code and ordering and closing your tab from your table. They have a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic options on the menu to choose from. My husband ordered the NA Mango not Tango and it was very tasty. We got the kids cheeseburger with fries and then I had been wanting to try the crunch wrap since I had seen a lot of reviews and advertising around it. I was a bit shocked when I saw the price for just the wrap with no protein ($19) I've been in Austin since 2009 and I know the prices of food are rising everywhere but it seems a little steep for a solo wrap with no sides. At least the portion/size of it was fair and it had good flavor but I most likely wouldn't order it again, paying $22 since I added pulled pork. (The brisket one that everyone talks about and is featured is an additional $4 on the $19.) Overall, I think it's a great option/venue for larger groups that want space and the ability to spread out and come and go but unless it's during HH be prepared to spend some $$. read more

This is my go to spot in Austin if I'm looking for good vibes, tasty food, and affordable but yummy drinks! I also love how dog friendly it is - they even have a small dog park!

Bouldin Acres - Burger & Fries - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been to Bouldin Acres - South Lamar on multiple occasions, though surprisingly never for pickleball. If you're heat-intolerant like me, you may want to skip this spot--most seating is outdoors, and the "indoor" section is really just open-air seating with shade. The vibe is super casual, and it's never not busy. Parking in the main lot runs limited. If you find yourself SOL on parking, you can pay to park in the parking garage next door. While they serve American bar food, they also have rotating food trucks on site. read more

I wasn't here long enough to give a good review but I did order the fajita plate one taco beef the other was chicken. Very tasty. You order through an app at your table. My gf had a burger but did not enjoy it. I will be back to give a better review but I do recommend the fajitas very yummy! read more

I give this place 4 stars for the vibes. Love that you can play pickle ball here or just have a chill night out with your friends while enjoying bar food/drinks. They are super dog friendly. As for food, didn't love the crunch wrap. The brisket burrito was too salty. I did enjoy the beef fajitas quesadilla though. Very cheesy and not too salty. Sweet potato fries were delicious and addicting. Quick service. Easy to order food on your phone. read more

This place is very hit or miss depending on when you go and the staff at particular times. Drinks are decent as well as the food truck. Some of the bartenders are apathetic while others are friendly and welcoming. My friends and I miss the red bearded guy that was always nice and answered any questions (he was nice to look at too :-)...don't think he was a bartender but haven't seen him in awhile...Bring him back! read more

Fun spot with a great mix of bar vibes and outdoor games! They've got pickleball courts, cornhole, and plenty of TVs for watching sports, great for hanging out with friends. We ordered wings, tacos, and fries, and all the food was solid. The staff were super nice and helpful. Only downside: we rented a pickleball court for 9 PM, and the lighting was terrible, which made it hard to play. For paying $40/hr, I'd hope they'd add better lighting. Still, it's a cool place overall with good energy, just maybe go earlier in the evening if you plan to play. read more

This place has everything. Pickleball courts? Yep. Yummy. Delicious food? Yep. Service is hard to answer because you had self-serve at the table. Playground for the kids? Yep. And dog friendly. read more

Great place to chill with a ton of open seating! You can play pickleball if you reserve a court or you can just come in for the vibe and the food! It's open seating and it's incredibly easy to order food and drinks. Each table has a QR code you scan. Upon opening the link that QR is essentially tied to your tab and table. When we went we arrived our food within 10 of ordering it! The food was pretty good and decently priced. We got the lo In terms of service there really isn't much because you do everything on your phone and they come to bring that to you but that's about it. For food we got the following: Loaded Waffle Fries Waffle fries topped with brisket, BBQ sauce, queso, & pickled onions There were plenty of crispy waffle fries and the brisket was smoked and tasted amazing. The pickled onions added some acidity that went very well with the brisket and queso. The Loaded waffle fries were my favorite out of the two items. Beef Fajita Nachos Nachos topped with pickled onions, sour cream, chopped beef The nacho chips to toppings ratio was a bit off but over all they tasted good. The beef was sliced into tiny pieces so that you got some in the bites. The rest of the toppings were really good as well overall they were delicious. Great overall experience and hopefully next time we go with enough time to play some pickleball! read more

Bouldin Acres - Beef Fajita Nachos and Loaded Waffle fries - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm very much a fan of Bouldin Acres, as it has just about anything a patio bar enthusiast could ask for: pickleball courts (2), parking, in-and-outdoor seating, TVs, food trucks with veggie options, frozen beverages (frose, pina colada, margarita), and it's dog-friendly with its very own little dog area for the fur babies to run around. It's also kid- and family-friendly. I like how they streamline the food truck orders - you place your order at the bar and it's added to your tab, so there's no need to wait in a long line. Y'all - they have totchos and cauli-wings. I've gone to BA 3-4 times and the service is always friendly. My only suggestion would be to ditch the plastic straws and cups. read more

1/13/2024 Bouldin Acres 2027 S Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78704 78704 (South Austin), South Lamar District, Bouldin Creek My nephew and his host dragged me here for a sports bar and Houston Texan's play off watch party. This is an indoor & outdoor cocktail table and metal (uncomfortable) stool, multi-screen TV palace. You have to scan the QR code on the table to access the order and pay app, but after that hassle, your order somehow finds its way to you. This place is a high energy gathering for the youth of Austin to watch their Texans and Cowboys. The crowd was extremely friendly and I felt welcome, even for an old guy; I must have been the oldest participant there by decades. The only issue I had was the wait time to use the men's room. I otherwise had a great time. read more

Been here a few times and like the fact that you can do different things especially if you're in a group - ie Play pickleball / arcades / just drink and hangout etc. Came here tnight to watch some MNF and grab some food and my review is mainly on how insanely overpriced the food was. Paid over $40 just for 2 food items? That's crazy and definitely not worth it in my opinion, which is disappointing because it's a cool spot. read more

Food was delicious! Normally we have to pick if we can have a good place for kids to be entertained or good food. This place has BOTH and more. We were able to take our dog, our kids were able to play in he playground while we ate, pickleball and chess were available, and the food was great! Their mixed drinks were great, too. No comments on service since we ordered and payed using the QR on the table. Definitely a place to go if you have kids and/or dogs. We got very lucky with the weather. read more

The main building doesn't give you an idea what you're in for until you cross through the shopping area with clothes and gifts to the outdoors again, a huge fenced area with astroturf that feels like a little like walking into a big backyard. There are pickleball courts and lots of picnic tables, many with mesh above them to give shade along with fans and mist machines to help cool down the covered spaces. The outdoor areas can definitely overheat in the summer, so there's also an air-conditioned full bar in a separate building along with tables and TVs around the edges. There are gender-neutral restrooms that are a bit cramped too. I was there for a private event so I didn't get to see some of the normal features like live music, but the set-up was good and the food was enjoyable, and the bar is well-stocked too. It works really well as an event space too with plenty of room for people to play games on the lawn in addition to pickleball courts, and I appreciated the large murals and overall feel of the space. read more

Bouldin Acres - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I started to explore my list of Austin places to visit and Bouldin Acres was on it. I arrived during the weekend just about after it opened at 11:00 AM. There was one or two cars parked in the large parking lot, so at first was not sure it was opened but did see people playing on one of the pickleball courts. When I entered I was greeted quickly. The lobby had a lot of upscale athletic clothes to purchase for playing pickleball. It was similar to a golf or tennis club. I walked through this building and saw the pickleball courts and a lot of outdoor seating with games to play. In the far back was a children's playscape and a cowboy pool for little ones to swim in. The water looked a little green but it had a pump and smelled of chlorine. I actually have the same thing at my home. There was also a pretty large metal barn with a sports bar inside. This where I took a seat and ordered food and drinks. It was really nice with more indoor games and TVs showing sports stuff. You order using a code on the table which opens the Union website of app if installed. It was pretty easy to use where this place is cashless. The food option is provided by CM Smokehouse but I also saw a taco food truck. The BBQ was unbelievably good and rate it 5 stars. The atmosphere was great even early in the day. Pickelball was the main attraction here but they also have great food and bar service. I had a great time. read more

Great dog friendly place to meet up with friends! The vibe is very relaxed and the food was good, not a lot of healthy foods on the menu. I couldn't get my phone to work with the qr code so I ordered at the bar since you can't order at the truck. Bartender was super helpful. Only downside is the garage, the height says one thing at the entrance but it is a different height in the garage, so that signage needs to be clarified. read more

Came to play pickleball. The ambiance is great. They have an indoor/outdoor setup. Ordered a pina colada, which was ok. But the sweet potato waffle fries are amazing. It's great because you can order on the app from your table. Makes it a seamless transaction. I would definitely go back. read more

Amazing staff! Drinks, food and atmosphere just as great! Can be your go to place to gather with friends and watching a game on one of the many tv's they have or spending some time listening to live music. Plus, they allow kids and have a playscape! It's a win-win!! *Kids allowed during certain hours. read more

Great place to meet family and friends for UT games. Food is from onsite food trucks (really good) and the drinks are reasonably priced.

I will not let this review be prejudiced by the fact that I was dumb enough to order Jameson's Orange. No serious whisky drinker should go anywhere near that bad Southern Comfort toss off of a beverage. Maybe it is a useful ingredient in mixed drinks for the Daytona Beach Spring Break Crowd. But then so are de Kuyper bottles which are God's way of saying all pleasure should be punished. ******** Bouldin Acres is a good-sized sports bar. It is also a pickleball complex. It is also massively dog friendly. The store in front sells both pickleball rackets and upscale leashes and dog collars.. If you regularly play pickleball with your dog, you will be in heaven. ******** I don't do that much with dogs because they are lousy Yelp reviewers. A waiter throws them a scrap of meat and they write a five star review. I don't play that much pickleball either. Early in my life, I made a calculation. If someone hits a ball or a shuttlecock at me, If I hit the thing back, I get tired. If I watch it fall down, I solve my problem. I believe in solving problems. This has not led to me being super-popular as a doubles partner. ************ So if you are not going to throw chicken tender bits at your dog, And you are not going to actually play a fatigue-inducing sport, What can you actually do at Bouldin Acres? Well, it is a nice enough bar, and a big enough bar. They have TV screens everywhere indoors. You can sit on a nice stool and watch some baseball or basketball game. The food truck they have there is pretty good. The pours are generous. So get drunk, eat fun food and enjoy the game. ************ Avoid the Jameson's Orange and you will do all right. read more

I have not been here since 2020 and it is still a good time. Unfortunately, it rained on the day we decided to go, so we were unable to enjoy the outdoor festivities because the ground was wet, but we were able to secure indoor seating. However, when the rain cleared up, it was packed indoors and outdoors which is a good sign that business is still going strong. We ordered food from the food truck and the queso and wings were really good! We ordered the buffalo and lemon pepper flavored wings and because the wings were smoked, the flavors were taken to another level. I still recommend this place as it is a great gathering spot to catch up with friends and the happenings in their lives. read more

Like other recent reviews, we visited Bouldin for a Yelp event. Yes, parking is limited but there are lots that you can prepay to park (or get booted). We were lucky to score a spot down the street. Parking aside this is a great spot to either just hang out, listen to music, or play pickleball or corn hole. There is a good-sized bar serving up craft cocktails. If you are a beer snob check out there are plenty of options featuring local brews. Our event provided food from various vendors but from their website, there is a grill and the sandwiches look awesome. This would be a great venue to hold a Corp event. read more

Stopped by to watch Thursday Night Football (Unfortunately the NY Giants lost ). Now back to the review... Bouldin Acres is so much fun. It is such a huge space, and it has something for everyone. Pickle ball, games, dog-friendly & mini dog park, playground for kids, food truck, and TVs everywhere to watch games. It was so easy to order via the QR code at the table, and the food and drinks were delivered in a timely manner. The staff was really nice and answered any questions we had. Be sure to get there early on the weekends, because the parking lot is small. The staff told me it gets really crowded on the weekends If you're looking for a fun and laid-back place to watch games, Bouldin Acres is the perfect. I'll definitely be back again watch more games read more

Sunny days sweeping the clouds away On my way to where the air is sweet.... To Bouldin Acres, off of S. Lamar Blvd, a neighborhood joint that has drinks, TVs, food trucks, corn hole, pickle ball courts, a dj, and a small pool. So there's fun for everyone if you can find a seat or spot to chill. Tables have QR codes do you can scan the menu and order from that which is convenient and modern. There are a lot of drinking options so you'll likely be able to find what you want. I heard their 'Bouldin Mary' is quite sensational as their take on Bloody Mary so I'll get that next time. Food trucks involve bbq and tacos, two staples of Texas eats. Didn't get to try them here but they looked and smelled delicious. Parking is a nightmare especially on the weekend so you may have to find a spot a few blocks and get your steps in to this place. I heard they have a parking garage somewhere nearby for parking; maybe I missed it. It also gets packed here so if you're someone who hates crowds, you may want to avoid this place. Although crowds indicate this place is hopping. So take your pick. read more
