Lots of seating, some in a courtyard, on the back patio, or the other building across the courtyard. The carnitas tacos were good & came out fast. There's a self serve hot sauce fridge. The guac was maybe a little tangy for me... not my fave but still pretty good.

Every dish we tried was clearly made with care and tradition in mind, and it truly delivered. (I spent 3 months traveling Germany and Europe, and I have missed the food! So this was great!) The servers were incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is what really ties it all together. Such beautiful scenery, a relaxed beer-garden vibe, and a sense of history that makes you want to linger. It felt authentic, comfortable, and truly made me reminisce on my time in Germany. As first-time visitors to Texas, this was a perfect stop on our vacation and one we'll remember fondly.

However, be wary of attending events here! We've been a couple of times now, both with live music, the latest during SXSW, when its just a shit show. Their parking is a little limited, now they have 2 lots which is usually fine for normal days but it's not nearly enough when they have an event going on. There are people parked on the gravel past the actual parking lot and both times we got to watch someone spin their tires trying to escape a parking spot they really shouldn't have attempted in the first place. Service was insane for this last show- someone booked a wedding reception on the bottom floor at the same time as this SXSW (not official but advertised as an ancillary show) event so only the top bar was open and the lines to order went almost all the way through the inside! It just wasn't planned well. I really do enjoy this bar but I don't know that I would go to another show there- think it might just be for random meet ups.

I came in and grabbed a beer at the bar and worked on my laptop while I waited for my buddy to join. Even though it was a busy week night, there was still plenty of seating. 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. I probably wouldn't order the sub again but that won't change my love for this place.

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.

This warrants an update because my initial review was nothing more than a couple of sentences and written long after I'd visited multiple times. Brewtorium opened back in 2018 and I've been several times during our twice yearly trips to visit family (prior to relocating to ATX). Ok, so... Going from four stars to five and I'll explain in a minute. First, I want to say how incredible the service is. As are the pours and food. Never once have we had a bad experience. It's a really welcoming spot with stellar beers. I love that they offer a mix of food options from traditional German brewery food to traditional American brewery and pub food. Here is why we're going up a star: during our latest visit, I walked over to our table after ordering and spilled my beer everywhere. Before even getting a sip lol. A staffer immediately came over with towels, cleaning products, and a fresh replacement beer. All without making me feel foolish or embarrassed. Next, we attended an event in the private room and it was perfect. Service continued to be above and beyond. Finally, I'd like to thank the brewmaster and brewers for "The Lost Mambo" and to beg that it stay on regular rotation and not seasonal. Gang, this is the greatest beer!! My absolute favorite. It's an Italian pilsner (only 5.5 abv) w/lemon biscotti. Wow. Wow. Wow. One of my fave breweries. Hands down. Support local. Drink beer...or not (they've got mocktails and n/a beer options).

Definitely a good spot for a group. Great place!

This food truck is so simple and unassuming, you may actually miss it. As a complement to Live Oak's German style beers, The Black Forest food is a perfect pairing for German beer.

In addition, small chips and cookies are sold for $2. We shared the pretzel...OMG, it was mutant large...enough for three people. The pretzel came with queso and stone-ground mustard (preferred the mustard). The pretzel was firm and flavorful on the outside and soft inside...ideal combination. Neil, the owner, was so super nice and shared some history regarding the brewery. He also has had a daily special. The food truck is located at Live Oak Brewing, making for an ideal German beer and food pairing experience.
