    I've driven past this place multiple times and have never gone in! CMW is very spacious with plenty outdoor and indoor seating. The jams were amazing on a Saturday morning, great Neo-soul and R&B music playing on a sunny afternoon. I was unfamiliar with Central Machine Works game but I loved this! I met friends here for an afternoon hang. I don't like beer but a friend recommended I try Rotating Radler which was pretty good! It had ginger beer, agua fresca with a light lager ($5). The like the little sister to a Moscow mule! I'd order it again. Service was superb! The patio was very spacious and there's plenty of parking in the front! Parking spots were taken quickly even at 11:00am!

    This time we tried the mushroom pizza and it was actually really good! The person at a pizza counter didn't seem to want to be there, to be honest, and it took a little while to get the order but overall it was fine! The bartenders here are always nice and engaging with the guests so this is a huge plus. Might want to check what's going on the night you're going to visit: this time it was a chess night!

    Great pizza!!! Seriously one of my new favorites. Obviously a very subjective measure; I like a thin crispy crust. Beer was also very good and the atmosphere was really comfortable to hang out. We will be going back!

    Came back here for pizza. The crust was made really well for a pretty big pizza. Beer as usual is good at this place. There was a Christmas show and line dancing event happening at the same time.

    Although a bit over priced, my burger and drink were good. The seating outside is a great feature. Although I didn't get to see any live music that night, they now have a stage out back, and I'm sure it's a great vibe. I'd rate it over all a 3.5.

    Stopped by here for some drinks and food. Was on my way to bring a friend back to the airport. The drinks here are really good. I think the Jell-O shots were a big hit with my friend. Bartender was nice. He crafted his own creation of drinks for us. It was a rum base drink. Ordered chips and salsa. Loved their salsa. Also ordered their lemon pepper wings. They were outstanding. I think it was 10 wings and I got a side of blue cheese dressing. Absolutely delicious.

    Really enjoyed my visit to CMW! The wait at the inside bar was a little longer than I'd prefer, but the staff was working hard to work through the mass of patrons. Bartenders were impressively efficient. While I wish they made their old fashioned with bourbon instead of rye, it was surprisingly good. I hear the beer is great too! The outdoor venue was big enough to fit a good amount of people but small enough to make it intimate. They have a bar outdoors too that was a lot easier to get served at during the show. They had fans outside which was nice even though it wasn't hot last night. They kept the air moving which is nice in a big crowd. Not only would I go back for a show here, but when I do, I want to try their food.

    Came Saturday night for a free show and ate a quick dinner before We tried the nachos (large) with beef and the smoked wings (lemon pepper) Both delicious!! The wings were crispy and the ranch was great The nachos were also really good, topped with queso, beans, jalapeños and pico! We added ground beef too for extra $4 I think The sandía spritz on draft was incredible - I had two and they were pretty strong too for a craft cocktail Service is order at bar / counter and you get the buzzer for food Food was out quickly - less than 10/15 minutes! There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and dog friendly! Super cool spot and plenty of beer options too!

    Central Machine Works is a brewery that blends industrial roots with modern charm. CMW brews beer and also features a full-service bar, food menu, versatile beer hall, and expansive beer garden. This brewery has both indoor and outdoor seating options. There is an expansive stage in the outdoor space where I have watched live music performances. I have been to a Prince tribute band show here. Also they host running events at this location including Eastside Beer Runners and events for Global Running Day. They have a variety on beers and cocktails on tap. You place your order at the bar and get a buzzer to notify you when your order is ready. My favorite is their Paloma on tab with teremana blanco tequila, Alma finca Yucatán Orange, clarified pineapple and lime agave. There are several drinks I am looking forward to trying on the menu including white lotus and mango sticky rice. I have also tried their green tea Jell-O shot. I also have tried some of their food items including *PRETZEL - CMW QUESO, KOLSCH WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD *PEPPERONI PIZZA - CUP & CHAR PEPPERONI, MOZZARELLA, PROVOLONE, RED SAUCE They have a good selection of food items to choose from. Overall a fun place to hang out, but parking here can be a challenge.

    It's a great spot. It's always so crowded, there's never any parking, but the venue is great, the food is really good if a bit on the pricier side, and the beer got way better once Josh joined the brew team and massively jumped their quality to the point that they're now winning awards for their beer. There's a full bar too if you prefer that. Is there anyone who lives in Austin and hasn't been here for some event? Gotta come visit then.

    Went here for a quick visit on a hot summer day and couldn't believe how huge it was inside! We got frozen margaritas and they were boozy and delicious. The employees were all really friendly. I can't believe I didn't know about this place! We're looking forward to going again soon for the full experience (pizza, beer, music, etc). Short and sweet review, but wanted to show this place some love!

    Came here for the first time and it was to see a band my husband likes. We absolutely loved it here! Chill vibe, everyone is welcome. Child and pet friendly. Parking was super easy in the back lot, although it is paid. We had the pepperoni pizza and the pretzel that came with mustard and queso. The queso was good but the pretzel will be a skip next time as it's a bit too hard and chewy for my liking. Pizza very good, thin crispy crust, toppings did not fall off and good sauce taste. Will definitely try others next time. Drinks were tasty yet strong. Inside space is super cool and the outdoor space is excellent for seeing a band or just relaxing. Plenty of space for everyone to sprall out and not be on top of each other and adequate seating. Planning on coming back after Thanksgiving and hopefully plenty more!

Every single employee is incredibly friendly and seems like they truly care about the work they do. We ordered a pizza, salad, and Italian sub. The pizza and salad were fantastic as always.

We waited maybe 20 minutes to order then another 45 minutes for food, which wasn't that bad for a busy Friday night. We were crowded outside, and we didn't really have enough table or chair space. That's to be expected when we descended upon the restaurant with such a large group. For six people, we ordered three pizzas to share. We definitely could have shared with more people because we had some pizza left over. We got The Works, Shroomin' Goat, and Texas Chicken Ranch pizzas. The Texas Chicken Ranch was by far our favourite. It was really good, while the other two were alright. The crust was weirdly bubbly and amorphous looking. There was a lot of crust. The Works was okay. The sauce and meat weren't particularly tasty. The Shroomin' Goat was a vegetarian pizza with a lot of arugula, which is not my type of pizza, but our vegetarian friend said it was okay. Great vibes at Pinthouse overall though, and I have enjoyed their other pizzas in the past.

Server said they didn't have any. Apparently, the clientele mostly eats there. The bartender again intervened and affirmed what the server said. I must have looked tired and desperate. He gave me a regular metal fork that I promised to return the next day. They sent me off with friendly smiles and the dinner I so needed.

    I've shared my praise of Allday Pizza in Hyde Park many, many times on Yelp and just around town to…read morepeople talking about how truly incredible their pizza is. There is nothing more delectable than their unique and unbelievable slices of pizza. On top of that, their Caesar salad, and everything else in between is incredible as well. The only "issue" with Allday in Hyde Park is that you are always waiting in line. Their location in Hyde Park is their second location and is their most popular by far. Though the wait in line at any hour is worth it. Sometimes you just don't want to make that commitment. That's where their location in Terrytown shows up as the true superstar. Located right off of Lake Austin, the Allday Pizza is attached to Flo's Wine Bar and Bottle Shop as a walk up window. There isn't a lot of parking at Flo's, but plenty of free street parking right next to Allday on Pecos Street. What is crazy is that when we walked in at 12:15 PM on Sunday, might I add, there was no line to order. Plenty of people going to town on their pizza, but no line to order. This was incredible. In Hyde Park, a 12:15 PM arrival would mean a 1:30 PM meal. Not here! The outdoor space is shaded and well covered which was great for a rainy day like today was. You can also sit inside Flo's with your pizza and enjoy some wine alongside it. You can do no wrong here! Another reason I wanted to go to the Terrytown location was because unlike Hyde Park, they serve by the slice cuts of the Cacio E Pepe that I've been dying to try. After our order, we grabbed some plates, cups of water and napkins, and our food was ready in mere seconds. I had a slice of the Stracciatella, the Pep & Pepp, and of course, the Cacio E Pepe. The Stracciatella is creamy and delightful and the Pep & Pepp has a minor kick but really balances against the Stracciatella. The Cacio E Pepe was fantastic. No tomato sauce, but the peppery flavor (that you would expect in a cheese and pepper pizza) was outstanding. It tasted like a well done sauce on crust. My girlfriend got a Tomato Tomatoe that I tried a bite of and was impressed. The lemon pepper panko is just like the one included in the MVP Caesar Salad and it really did a lot of heavy lifting in the slice because it is simply so incredible. The salad which I got a bite of is delectable. How do the greens taste so fresh? Why is the dressing so delightful? It's still the best Caesar I've ever had. Because there was no line, we indulged a bit and got a Dirt Cup to share for dessert. It consisted of their Dark Chocolate Soft Serve, chocolate sauce, an Oreo crumble made in-house, and gummy worms. The soft serve gelato is nuts. I haven't had it at the Hyde location and this was my first impression. What a star on its own. I have not had a single bad menu item at Allday. You can't go wrong. Hyde Park's location might feel a little more sophisticated with its beautiful architecture, full bar with wines, cocktails, and beers on draft, and a little bit more expansive of a menu, but the Terrytown location feels a little more peaceful. It is in a beautiful area of Austin and the ability to arrive and be done with a meal in about 45 minutes is magical. I think Allday in Terrytown might take over the Hyde Park location as my favorite restaurant in Austin, but it's a close race like debating if Wemby or SGA deserves the MVP more. Both are ceiling raisers and the best food you can have in Austin. RIYL: The best food you can have in Austin with little to no wait.

I don't care for pizza that can hold its shape when being held. But if I just told myself it was bread instead- I enjoyed it. It was really the pasta and salad for me. We didn't try too much because we were actually surprised it was open. Many friends mentioned the desserts were to die for. Even Guy on DDD mentioned the caramel rolls were what cinnamon rolls wish they could be. He also LOVED the pastrami sandwiches. So I'd i could do a 1-10 scale I'd give it a 9 for the extra work we had to put in to align with their limited open hours and for the soggy crust. But highest marks on the rest. They also have a room you can rent out in the back or the restaurant and good parking. Next time you want pie- Give pieous a try
