My first time here! The inside is pretty small with a huge amount of outdoor seats. They have a stage, so looks like they have events happening pretty often. It was a quiet Saturday evening though. Boyfriend ordered a coffee porter and I got Honey (blonde). Both were great and I would definitely get the coffee porter for myself next time. Pleasantly no herds of wild children running around. The ones who were present were tame. So it did NOT feel like we were in a middle of a daycare. PLEASE NEVER INSTALL A PLAYGROUND, we need more breweries that don't feel like a kindergarten in this city :,)
Celis Brewery has a really nice vibe. Even with a little light rain during the event, the atmosphere still felt relaxed and welcoming. I could definitely see myself coming back when it's open to the public just to hang out and enjoy the space. The layout is great, plenty of room to move around, and it feels like the kind of spot you can post up with friends for a few hours. The staff was amazing -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Overall, great energy and solid experience. I'll definitely be back.
We stopped by this brewery on our last day as it was near where we were staying. It is a huge location so it's perfect for large groups and they have both indoor and a huge outdoor beer garden area. They have really cool events going on most nights. When we were there - they were doing an astrology on tap experience, which was very cool. They have a couple of food trucks that are available as well. One of the ones that we tried Was this food truck had masala fries. They were so perfectly cooked and so well seasoned we literally destroyed the entire thing. They have a great selection of beers on tap most brewed using old world European style, but they also have some great new things as well too for those who are looking for IPAs or something else. They also do their own sparkling water and they have a sparkling water with electrolytes so basically Gatorade like.
Celis is a classic North Austin brewery that offers a very laid back vibe and fun activities inside. The brewery is dog friendly and has many games such as corn hole, plus it has some TVs that are always showing the game. Parking here can be a bit tricky as the lot is a bit small but they do have an auxiliary lot out back that you can park in. In that auxiliary lot there's actually a couple of food trucks so if you need to grab a bite you can do so there as well. There's a stage out back where bands sometimes play at and the interior had sewing class being taught when we went so the vibes here are very casual and fun. The beer itself is delicious and they have many options you may struggle to find elsewhere, although you can see some of their beers in HEB. When we went the line was a bit long as there was only one bartender there and maybe about 30 people throughout the whole place, but that's the only remotely negative thing we can note. Celis is just a great place to grab a few beers with friends and spend a weekend afternoon watching some games on. That plus its relatively family friendly atmosphere makes it a neighborhood standout. We recommend this as a great place to just chill and take the edge off, especially if you're looking to bring your canine companion.
Makers of good beer! Gotta get Celis White, but also try the others (Grand Cru, porter, ipa etc) they are easy drinking brews. Violet Crown, a Belgian Style Quad, is a treat when available.
I can see why the bar is so popular. I wanna hear for a random event and I love the open space outside. Bartenders are super cool and it's interesting. Set up being next to another tap room that they also own. Doesn't hurt that it's close to the Q2 stadium either
A friend of mine is a fan of this brewery so went by on Sunday afternoon while visiting Austin. It was not very crowded, which was good, but I was surprised. All the beers were really good! Had free popcorn and TVs everywhere to watch football. Overall a really good place!
This is one of our favorite places to bring the pups. We usually grab a drink and head to their dog park or stay on the patio and listen to live music. For service you go up to the bar and on a busy night they are super quick to get your drinks. They have a great selection of beers.
Quality spot. Always a good time and even better beer. Great location, beautiful venue, big outdoor space, food trucks, private parking, friendly staff, and delicious beer. What more could you ask for.
AMBIANCE: Located near Austin FC stadium, this brewery is great place to hang out and watch football. My husband and I absolutely love this brewery. As a dog mom, I love finding places I can take my dog to. I love that they allow both dogs inside (for when the rare times Austin is too cold) and outside on their patio, as well as have a fenced off leash area where dogs can run around and play while you hang out with your friends. They also have plenty of TVs inside and outside all bar areas so great spot to enjoy and watch sport games (we came and watched UT and Kansas Chiefs). Great sports bar. On a Saturday we went wasn't too crowded. This is a great spot for large groups - plenty of seating everywhere. FOOD: The brewery itself doesn't have food, but they always have at least 2-3 food trucks in the back. As a vegetarian I appreciate there was Backdraft Pizzeria and Con Todo (James Beard award winning taco truck!) with vegetarian options on both. PARKING: plenty of free parking as have own dedicated lots - know that half spots are on gravel and other half paved. BEER: I am not a beer drinker, but my husband is and he loves the hazy IPA. They have a nice rotation of at least 10 beers on tap and do have ciders for non beer drinkers.
The vibe, the ambiance and the setup (including food trucks) are excellent. The beer is good and food at the food trucks is decent too. Let me address the missing star first. This is the most expensive brewery in Austin in my opinion. We have had lots of awesome beers across tens of breweries in Austin and I don't recall paying $20 for 2 beers including the tip at any of these places. That said, I think the live music and the weather made it worth for us. The Margarita flatbread from the pizza truck was flavorful but we have never had a flatbread this thin. I wish it were more satisfying quantity-wise. We will definitely go back :)
What used to be a quaint historic brewery, has evolved into a blended drinking experience where old meets new. I recommend starting in the original taproom and having a pint at their circular bar, then make your way to the back bar which has plenty of patio seating, TVs, heaters, stage & a solid food truck (Con Todo). Their beers cover the gamut from west coast IPAs to sours. Every time I'm here, I always feel a little hoppier.
The tally for hitting as many Austin breweries as we could on a recent trip continues as we had a very good and solid beer experience at Celis Brewery. We had two different beers here. Both on the lighter side as far as body goes on the spectrum which is as we desired while being in hotter country to what we are typically accustomed to. One of the beers we had here was the Celis White which is a witbier. I do like this beer type quite a bit and yet don't come across it very often which makes this a nice treat to have. With this beer in the flavor features there is a Belgiany presence along with citrus. The beer has a clean finish which is something I always appreciate. The beer is light bodied and smooth. The other beer we had was the Honey Blonde. Another kind of beer I enjoy and especially during the warmer months as it's a lighter sort of beer like the previous one we had. The flavor features with this beer are wheat, honey and a hint of sour. The beer is light bodied and crushable which kind of means it's a very easy beer to drink and very enticing to get another of the same thing after the first. Celis Brewery provided a good, solid beer experience for us which was nice and help make our trip all the more pleasurable. read more
Nice spot that's mostly outdoors. They changed this place up quite a bit from the few times I've been here and added a bunch more outdoor seats. The coffee stout here is really good along with their other lighter options. read more

Celis makes good solid beer. They specialize in Belgian beers and it shows in their menu and flavors. As you move from dubbels to tripels to quads the beers improve. The quads are very good, and unexpectedly so are the sours. Skip the lighter beers because they're forgettable. You're in a Belgian style brewery so avoid the pilsner, lagers, or stouts. The inside is very nice and hosts trivia during the week, but also check out the outdoor rear patio area for extra fun. They regularly have live music, and everyone loves the color and ambiance of the chairs, umbrellas, and artwork. Parking is relatively tough in front, but the rear always has plenty especially not on Saturdays. Check out the couple of food trucks in the rear parking area, too. read more
This was only our second visit but we've not had a bad experience yet (and we are not anticipating any). The outdoor area with the games and stage for live shows is so comfortable and fun. Great place for the kids and adults. They had a crawfish boil when we were there Sunday. It was really good. The bartenders are such nice people. They answered questions about the BBA Cru! It's amazing but has a 10% alcohol so pace yourself. read more

Great location and atmosphere. Food trucks, brews, live music, huge outdoor lawn seating + lawn games and fire pits. Good place to kick back on a weeknight after work or weekend with friends/family. Dog + kid friendly. If it's busy, be prepared to wait. We didn't mind waiting for our food since weather was lovely and we were enjoying catching up with family we rarely see, but were shocked to have a 40-70 minute wait for food from the food trucks on site and for the brewery to be out of brews on a Friday at 6pm. read more
My wife and I have to stumble across this place while we needed a break from visiting family in the hospital. We are so glad we found a brewery nearby. Josh was a great server and walked us through with a different beers. Allow us to try a couple before settling on a few flights. Great vibe and very relaxing, which is just what we needed. Although they don't have food themselves, there are several food trucks outside. We tried a couple of pizzas and they were outstanding! If you're in the area, I highly recommend it! read more

I was very impressed by this place. It's kind of historic as it's one of the oldest microbreweries in Austin and they make some of the best Euro inspired beers I've ever had. The place is beautiful inside. It's cool and dark which is key for some of these beers. I greatly like the round bar in the middle. They have a pretty lively outside, but it's better inside. My favorite beer was the White. The service was also great! It wasn't crowded inside, but the man and woman rocked. I kind of wished my friend didn't take me here first because everywhere else was hard to meet the awesomeness of this place. It's not very far away from the soccer stadium so this is the place for a European afternoon! read more

We finally made it to Celis Brewery and were fortunate to get a tour as well. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but if I do, it has to be a stout or quad drinker. I decided to try the Strawberry Rhubarb, their fruited Belgian blonde. It was delicious! Slightly sweet and crisp. My husband had the White, their Belgian witbier. I would actually drink these two regularly! I have a good feeling that seasoned beer drinkers and new beer drinkers alike will find something to enjoy. read more

Outdoor area is so nice and roomy, fans and coverage from hot sun. Lots of beers and seltzers to choose from. Bartender was so nice, helpful and let us try a few before choosing. read more
Chill place to hang, meet up with friends, drink beer, get some work done, or just vibe! Tons of open space with free wifi, indoor and outdoor seating, dog friendly, family friendly...It just checks all the boxes. They've got some food trucks on premises but limited vegan options, just a heads up. I love their raspberry beer though so all is forgiven. You can get a flight and try a bunch of stuff for an affordable price, too. Super kind and accommodating staff if you're not jerk. read more

I came to Celis on a Monday afternoon and had a good experience. It was very dead but the bartender was very nice and helpful. I ended up getting the Heartache IPA which was a lighter IPA perfect for a warm afternoon. I stayed in the beer garden out back and it was quite spacious and looks like it would be a lot of fun when there are a lot of people there. read more

This place is super cool! Me and my friend came here for lunch and we were definitely pleased. The beer was good and the taco truck was incredible! Bartender was super nice too and let us sample beers until we found one we liked. read more
TLDR: Average spot for some beers Came through on a weekend afternoon. had some drinks at the inner tap room. overall, the place was a bit meh. the beer didn't really stand out, and I am not really sure why, but the vibe of the place just seemed off. It wasn't a terrible experience, but I probably won't see myself back here in the future. Overall: 2.5/5. read more

I didn't know this place existed but it's fairly close to the domain area. There are multiple building/areas including outdoor seating and food trucks right next to the main building. Going inside, it's nice place with the bar in the middle. I didn't know which beer to get while I was there so I ask if I can try some samples. The bartender was very friendly and give me a few beer to taste. I really like one of their beer. Overall, nice place to hangout, and grab a beer. I do want to come back and check out all the other smaller building/food trucks next to it. read more
