Personal shout out to Michelle who makes the store's wheels turn. She is constantly working hard and always smiling. Her sandwiches make me drool just waiting a review.

I always enjoy dropping by a RBG. They have a lot of interesting and unique products, one of my…read morefavorites are the refrigerated chocolate truffle bars (there's a lavender one that is soooo very pleasant!). I've seen some of the items they sell here at Trader Joe's for eg but they have a lot of otherwise unique stuff. They do sell premade stuff as well, I saw someone sampling something at the counter. This isn't a big place and because it's more upscale things ARE more expensive here, I'd never do routine grocery shopping here. But if you're passing by, you can reliably find a native Austin beer, quick meal, unique snack, etc.

What a wonderful Mother's Day brunch. First time here and was NOT disappointed. If you have any…read morefood allergies, they will cater to you. Vegan? No worries!! The atmosphere is very chill yet a bit upscale. Not a cut off jeans and tank top place for sure. The staff that waited on us was super friendly and on top of everything. Refill on drinks, no worry they were right there! The portion sizes are large but not overly huge. Which made for a nice take home meal later on in the day. Nestled up to a running creek, a constant breeze blew thru and just made everything perfect! Looking forward to my next trip!

I'm way overdue this review and refuse to not update the world on the grossness this location…read moreneeds a deep clean and possible upgrade. A group of us went in for cocktails only and were seated at a booth. Now, I am a germaphobe and have a tendency to look up/down and all the way around when at a restaurant. One glass in and I so happened to look over my spouse's shoulder and see the nastiest spider webs directly next to them. I mean if they would have sneezed or sat back it would have been no bueno. Needless to say we moved ourselves to another table and were too grossed out to remain for anything additional. Yes, spider webs can appear and an establishment not be considered gross but this wasn't that kind of web. This was a your servers:cleaners don't t actually clean, web - nope won't be back.

What Five Stars? because this place is exactly the kind of dive bar that makes Austin weird in the…read morebest possible way. Dirty Bill's is gloriously unapologetic. You walk in and immediately know you are not in some polished Instagram cocktail lounge. It is loud, a little gritty, and full of people who are clearly there to have a good time and not pretend otherwise. The beer is cold, the Lone Star flows like Texas water, and the vibe is pure old school Austin. And yes, the legendary bathroom situation deserves its own paragraph. The men's room features a giant ice filled trough for a urinal, which feels like something out of a 1970s roadside saloon documentary. Somehow it is both ridiculous and perfectly on brand. It actually becomes a conversation starter because you walk out laughing and immediately tell your friends they have to see it and go pee. The crowd was friendly, the bartenders were quick with the beers, and nobody was taking themselves too seriously. I ended up staying longer than planned, drinking Lone Stars and talking to random people like we had known each other for years. If you want craft cocktails served with a rosemary sprig this is not your place. If you want a hilarious, slightly chaotic, authentically divey night in Austin with cheap beer and great stories, Dirty Bill's absolutely delivers. Five stars and I would go back in a heartbeat.

Dirty Bill's (gotta love the name) is literally right next door to J. Carvers where we had dinner…read more Dirty Bill's was on and popping!!! We were drawn in by the music. They were spinning some popular tunes. The place was packed with a very fun crowd. It appears to be a bar you come to have drinks and chat. There was a small area where dancing could take place, but no one was dancing at the time. The staff including the general manager was super friendly. It felt like a wedding reception as you came into the club where you were greeted...very warm and welcoming. We had a drink and stayed a short while. It looked like a place you could come for a girls or guys night out or celebrating a fun occasion. Will definitely consider Dirty Bill's for a future fun evening...

I love the spread and variety of the boards. Bonus points for cutting them in slices. The brussels sprout salad was light and flavorful. The California Panini served with a side salad was satisfying.

We did have a little service hiccup when our server left us waiting for quite a while. I also understand that things happen and sometimes a busy restaurant gets hectic, so I don't want to judge the entire experience based on that. What impressed me was how Khloe, the manager, stepped in and handled it. She was incredibly helpful and made sure we were taken care of, which really changed the experience for the better. The atmosphere is a lot of fun. Good music, sports playing on the TVs, bottomless mimosas, and games for anyone who wants to make a day of it. There's something for pretty much everyone in the group. Next time I'll definitely be trying some of the games. Between the food, drinks, music, sports, and overall vibe, this is pretty much the definition of a Sunday Funday spot. I'll definitely be back!

Staff is very friendly and is always trying to be a helping hand when you're finding your wine. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Highly recommend checking if you're a wine person.
