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 Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

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 :,) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great beer, great outdoor area, great vibes. Very spacious and plenty of drinks on tap. Dog friendly and plenty of food trucks to eat

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place is massive or at least it is to me! They have what I would say the main bar but then you can go to the back where there is another area you can sit inside and then they have a huge patio are with covered seating or uncovered. This place has a lot to good beers to choose from and tvs everywhere so you can watch whatever is on. I usually sit outside so I never realize how the service is but when ordering they have always made me feel welcomed. read more

This is the cutest little brewery with the cutest names for beers, ales and non alcoholic drinks. The bar tender, London was so friendly and provided service with a smile. The atmosphere was so lovely and welcoming. A great place with a lovely back door area for kids to play in read more

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 :) read more

This was my first time visiting here but won't be my last. I came for trivia night, and it was so much fun! I'm not a beer drinker, but they do have a couple of cider options as well as wine. They offer some snacks, and there is a food truck outside which offers pizzas and a couple other things. I didn't eat, but it looked and smelled great. I love that they are LGBTQIA+ friendly as well. Fun local business. read more

When I first came to Austin in the very early 1990's, I was all excited because they had their own real ale brewery - Celis. The place I came from was Budweiser, Miller and Bud Lite. Then I tried a bottle or two of Celis. Yuk. The charm was gone and I forgot about them. * * * Nearly thirty five years later, I checked out their on site taproom and beer garden. In thirty five years, many first rate breweries have come to Austin. I have liked nearly every single solitary one ... so there was no need to bother with Celis. But Yelper's curiosity caught up with me. The beer garden itself is utterly charming - with three interesting food trucks, nice places to sit and lots of games for the kids. Everyone at Celis was having a wonderful time. I ordered two beers - a Grand Cru and a California IPA they call a Houwee (or something like that.) The Grand Cru was a fine fine beer. I was impressed. The Houwee was tasteless swill. The Grand Cru was everything I hoped an Austin independent beer would be. The Houwee was the awful stuff that made me give up on Celis in the first place. So I can not vouch for the beers being reliable. But the beer garden is really nice. read more

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. read more

Celis Brewery - Back Entrance - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been going to celis since literally day one, and there was a time when everyone who worked there was super cool and positive, and they always had super tasty beers. I recently stopped by for the first time in a bit, and all their fun stuff was gone, no one was friendly or happy, and it was just weird vibes all around. I literally watched some employee there tell some kids to stop running around? It's not some 5 star restaurant. Go to any other brewery and they are way more family friendly and have more tap rotations. What happened? Just doesn't feel the same as it did a year or so ago. read more

Shocked I've never written a review for Celis. I love visiting Celis, both for the awesome atmosphere and cool patio space they built, PLUS the Kriek is the best. I'm not a big beer drinker, but I'm obsessed with the Kriek. They've been around since 1992 and they're a great brewery to check out! 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

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.

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

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.

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

Initially got lost and went to the inside of the building and most of the action happens outside. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't the nicest day so it wasn't very busy. The beer tasted great and the have a bunch of selections! They only had about 2 food trucks open when we went so we didn't try the food but the outdoor then yard they have looked great!
