Nachos
Elise M.

Great happy hour deals with half price appetizers. Love the Hefeweizen brew. Service Is always friendly and attentive. A chill place to hang out with plenty of TVs to watch sports on the weekend. Cheers!

Double B Burger
Pete R.

We stopped in here for lunch. Had been here before for happy hour beers before the name change, but not for food. This time we were hungry. Mot a lot of people there, but it was mid-week at 1:00 pm. I ordered the Double B Burger and a beer and the wife ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Service was quick and the food to a little bit of time, but when it came, the fries were fresh out of the fryer and the burger was hot and tasty. The brioche bun was perfect, and the burger was cooked perfectly. My wife loved her wrap, but indicated the sweet potato fries were a bit over cooked and greasy. My fries were perfect. Overall, a great place to do lunch and have a beer. We will definitely be back for more! Ambiance 10/10 Service 10/10 Beer 10/10 Food 8.5/10 Stop in and have a burger and beer. You won't be disappointed!

Pimento Burger
Gregory M.

From the moment we walked in, we were treated with excellent service. The interior is very nice serving a blend of upscale Texan , brewery and cozy. I ordered the pimento burger which was excellent. The patties were juicy and the fries were fresh and well seasoned. I will definitely be stopping by the next time I'm in town.

The food service has changed. We went a couple of weeks ago and the fish was back up to standard. Hoping it stays at that level or better. Staff are friendly and they don't hover which is a mixed bag. Love the ambiance of the place both inside and out. They've done a lot of work to be inviting to all. Still among our favorite places in LHTX.

After driving past Hell or High Water for several years and saying "we really should try that place"... we did! Really glad we did! We had a good meal. Mel was our waiter, and he was awesome... attentive but not intrusive! We started with a top shelf margarita which was a little heavy on the salted rim, but a quick wipe with a napkin fixed that. The cocktail was very good. For food we tried the reuben sandwich (with sauteed spinach), the fried shrimp (with baby gold potatoes and sauteed asparagus), and the fish and chips. My first observation was the food came out so hot, we had to let it cool for a minute or too! Perfect, we like really hot fried stuff! The reuben was good, a bit of a twist on the traditional with provolone cheese and "home-made russian sauce." Tasty... The fried shrimp were also good, breading just right, the tartar sauce was OK (we make our own at home, hard to beat). The fish and chips were the highlight... fish (cod) lightly battered, fried golden crisp, atop a mound of fries. We don't eat fries often, so they gotta be good... these were. Delicious! We passed on dessert. Only two choices: chocolate cake and cinnamon apple brown butter cake. The pictures looked good, but we were stuffed! Recommend Hell or High Water.

Beer

Ambiance: Rustic themed brewery with a bar, indoor seating, and patio in the historic downtown area of Liberty Hill. Perfect spot for grabbing a bite, celebrating an occasion, date night, or fun evening on the patio. I loved their oatmeal beer "Red Sleigh Down" - sooo good! My husband enjoyed his beer choice as well. Expansive menu, lots of options including vegetarian & healthier items. Parking onsite. Incredibly friendly staff, we will definitely go back!

Lots of construction going on in front. Plenty of parking and back we entered towards the back area as well. Kind of awkward entering in the back. I assume it was a waiter who asked if he could help me. At this point we left. There is an extremely small signage with hell or High Water sign. Wasn't feeling the vibe. It was very confusing. 3 stars we did not eat or drink. I wanted to be fair. It would be nice to be greeted warmly and welcoming.

Breaded Mozzarella Bites.
Jerry E.

First visit. I live nearby, hadn't ever tried them and had a craving for Fish and Chips. I was so hungry that I started eating and forgot to take a pic. Good fresh, hand breaded fish (Cod I think), with nice freshly cooked Chips (fries). I don't think they are homemade, but they were good. Nicely served with Malt Vinegar. We also had some breaded Mozzarella. Those tasted fresh home made. Good fast and friendly service. Ambience was nice and relaxed. As I'm not really a drinker, I won't comment on that. Nice place. We will br back.

Oops,  my camera didn't eat this pretzel first. It's so good, worth stopping in for.
Robert R.

We stopped in here about a year ago, it's out of the way and we accidentally came across Hell or High Water Brewing. This past weekend we were out and about and I felt like having a beer and a pretzel, for a year now I've been comparing bar pretzels with this place. I can't provide a review on the food here but I can tell you it's worth driving out of your way for this crispy outer, soft inner and overall delicious pretzel. The service here has been great the couple of times we visited and it's a really nice quaint establishment. The beer selections have been good and we've had a couple of nice IPA's. We have had too many breweries in Austin closing, it's nice places like this that need to get our business so we don't lose another.

S'mores old fashioned
Jennifer W.

Excellent place! We stopped here after doing the North Pole Flyer with our kids, needing dinner and a drink. The hostess greeted us immediately and quickly got us to a table. We ordered a pretzel and the nachos right away, and things came out quick! Our kids both ordered the kids chicken tenders with fries, while my spouse ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the cowboy burger. It was all amazingly delicious. The burger was huge! I actually didn't set it down once I started attacking it for fear it would lose all structural integrity-it was that good! Loved the seating area-it was welcoming, clean, and even with the UT game on didn't feel overwhelmingly like a bar. There was also a beer garden in the back that looked like it would be a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. We skipped that this trip though bc it was cold and rainy- next time for sure!

Coconut breaded shrimp paired with orange sriracha sauce.

We dined at a cozy brewery located in the cute town of Liberty Hill, TX. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas, which gave it a warm and homey feeling. They have a fantastic outdoor patio that would be wonderful when the weather is nice.The waitstaff was friendly and very attentive. The food was fantastic. The smoked pulled was very tender and delicious. Great location, I would highly recommend it!

Swiss burger
Arturo Y.

First timer - impressed with variety of dishes on the menu, excellent service, clean atmosphere. We were a party 6 - and spent time eating and commensurating - and were never rushed. Not very crowded when we were there - weekday around lunchtime.

Patio area! Plenty of seating, TVs, Space Heaters, Fans, and good spot for live music on weekends.

Ask the Community - Float The River Brewing

Are dogs allowed inside? Don't want them out on these triple digit days. ☀️☀️☀️

Couldn’t agree more and we love everyone’s puppies. Unfortunately, Williamson County Health Department does not allow us to have animals inside (except certified service animals). We are pet friendly outside, but certainly understand your concern… 

Do you have live music Saturday?

Yes we do most Friday and Saturday nights. We typically post on our website our schedule of events. Hope to see you soon. Cheers - Brian

Do you have an outdoor area? Dogs allowed?

Yes and yes!

Cold beer, nice people, good pizza. Despite living only…read moreabout 15 miles south I don't venture into Cedar Park very often. As I was leaving the We Are Blood donor center on Bell Boulevard, I thought "why not check out a brewery I don't visit very often for lunch?" (kids, I am a professional. Don't try this at home--a brewery visit right after dropping a pint is probably not a donor center recommendation for most normal folks). A search on "breweries near me" revealed that this spot was 1 mile away. Winner. Plenty of parking front and side, the taproom was pleasant inside and out. I took a seat at a nearly full bar next to a good group of World Cup (ESP/AUT) watchers. Two big TVs over the bar, in a large taproom/dining area with 5 more, shared with the sort of "built-in food truck" called "600 Degrees Pizza" except it's a proper pizza shop, no wheels. There's a shaded outdoor patio with a bar window, and 5 more TVs, and a covered tent area beyond that, with a play area for the kiddos. Had a Ray Ray Hazy IPA, crisp and cold and delicious NE-style IPA. I walked over to the pizza counter and ordered a slice, considered the slice/salad lunch special but opted for the HH slice special, pepperoni at $5. Minutes later a guy delivered the single largest pizza slice I have ever tried to hold in my hand to my seat at the bar. Apparently they do a 6-cut TWENTY FOUR INCH PIE for slices, so my slice was 75.4 square inches of tasty gooey goodness. Unwieldy, and took some tactical consumption logistics calculation, but I finished every bit--a meal for me, and I was glad I skipped the salad. Very good pie, and VERY filling. One more small beer, from Jester King, as I watched Spain knock Austria out 3-0. Friendly folks on both sides of the bar, good beer, and good food in a nice taproom. I'll be back.

Whitestone Brewery was another brewery we went to when we were on our vacation to the Austin, Texas…read morearea. With this brewery I got a beer type I don't always get and when I do it's a nice change of pace and that is a Brown Ale. I took the opportunity to get one here and the name of this brewery's version is a fun one... it's called Velvet Nunchuks. The flavor profile in this one is good... in it you can have fun with detecting caramel, roastiness and maltiness. The beer is smooth and has nice mouthful due to that. Whitestone was a good stop even if it is a bit of a ways from downtown Austin.
