For reasons that make no sense to any experienced summer festival-goer, the Q2 powers-that-be decided to make this a "no re-entry" event, meaning that attendees are basically locked in the stadium with very few options for relief from the heat. Thank heaven for PointsBet Sports Bar! PointsBet Austin is located inside of Q2 stadium on the north end near the Zebra Gate, up some stairs just to your right as you enter the gate. They have cold air-conditioning, at least one phone recharging station, a few table games, seating for at least 50 people, and standing room for a couple hundred others. Plus, there's a huge horseshoe bar serving plenty of canned and mixed beverages. The whole north wall is floor-to-ceiling windows, providing plenty of natural light. Lastly, there are 18 flatscreens around the walls showing various sporting events and during our concert, a couple were streaming a live view of the concert stage. As expected, prices were "high" (like everything else in Austin these days), but they were in line with pricing available at the other beverage stands outside in the stadium, so we didn't pay any more than we would have out there for the same drink. According to their website, PointsBet opens 3 hours before soccer matches on regular Q2 game days, and it's one of the few air-conditioned places where non-VIP attendees can get a break from the goings-on outside.

Everyone seems upbeat and eager to help, from sampling the beers to recommendations on the menu. This particular visit I was looking by for something different and ended getting the "wrapper". A comforting wrap with everything that chills you out and makes you not want to leave. I should have had this during a game as we didn't have time to hang a longer period of time. But it was delicious. Took half home due to its size lol. The beer selection is pretty good too, so if you are wanting a light beer (try the victory blonde that's in-house brewed) or try some of the variety of IPAs, it's there. There is outdoor seating with additional TVs as well. Definitely worth a visit if you are in downtown Pflugerville.

Big kudos to the fries! Some of the best. From the outside, it looks a little weird, but once you step inside, you are in for a big surprise!

One of our friends from Mexico City, Mexico says she wanted authentic Mexican food, and she says she always frequents Botanero Sports Bar when she comes to Austin. To be honest, I was skeptical...great Mexican food in a sports bar...sounded to me like an oxymoron. I was pleasantly surprised with the restaurant interior, food presentation and entrée authenticity. Loved the restaurant vibe...true Mexico. The only thing missing was a mariachi band. A band was coming in when we were leaving, so perhaps they were getting ready to play. Love mariachis...reminds me of home. After nibbling on complementary chips and salsa / spicy sauce, we ordered several dishes: fajitas, carne asada, flautas, and ceviche tower. The carne asada was hit and loved by the majority of us. The beef was tender and flavorful. Also, the plate came with refried beans, rice, onion, salad, and cactus along with tortillas. Most dishes came with rice and beans. The fajitas were served piping hot as you see streams of smoke coming from the skillet they were served on. The flautas were ok...would not order them again. In addition, while the ceviche tower was aesthetically beautiful, it was a bit bland. Important to note, was the serving dishes that were being presented throughout the restaurant such as a large soup bowl the size of a mixing bowl, a dish served in a large gray porous bowl that looked to be made from stone or shrimp served in a standing bowl that looked similar an oversized wine glass. It was so fun to watch all these presentations of food. Our friend had a birthday two days ago and we celebrated today. One of my friends ordered an appetizer/drink for the birthday girl. I have never seen anything like it. There were six cans of Modelo beer (beer had chamoy and tahine on the sides) covered on the top with cucumbers, shrimp, olives, and other mystery ingredients. This was so fascinating to watch. I ate a couple of spicy cucumbers but skipped the beer. My friends loved the beer! They ordered another Mexican beer called Victoria. This beer is from Mexico City. The restaurant staff provided our friend with a sombrero to wear while we sang happy birthday to her. They also provided a complimentary piece of chocolate cake. I was absolutely fascinated with experiencing this meal which titillated all your senses. I can honestly say this the most authentic Mexican restaurant that I have dined at in Austin!

I placed my lunch order using the QR code, but in the future I would probably go inside to order, as it felt like multiple steps. My son and I ordered burgers -- he got his with fries and I got mine with tots -- and my daughter ordered the hot honey turkey biscuit. It took quite a while for the food to come out, but what I will say is that the burger I ordered is literally one of the best burgers I have ever had. It had the right amount of savory, sweet, and crunchiness, along with the juiciness of the burger patty. I don't live in that area, but the next time I'm nearby, I would go there just to get that burger!

We sat outside (would have loved a heat lamp next time!) and they were able to put the sound on the tv so we could watch the football game.

The burger was good but the bun was way too big, I personally would have liked that to be a bit more proportional. I added some photos that I took in the dark, so they could look better from my end, but everything came out looking great!
