**Perfect last night in Austin!**…read more The Baja fish tacos were crispy, fresh, and full of flavor, easily the best mahi mahi fish tacos I've had outside of Maui. The 40/40 West Coast IPA was the perfect pairing (I had two). The entire bar staff was incredible: Laszlo, Jeanette, Gigi, and Chelsea were all friendly, attentive, and made my last night in Austin unforgettable. Wish I could come back tomorrow!

Milkers Brewing Company was in a neighborhood where we went to more than once and it was a place I…read morehad in my bookmarks to try. And I am certainly glad I did! In the warmer weather which is plentiful in Texas sometimes I shift my focus towards Mexican Lagers and when we were visiting here that sounded amazing. So I went with the Primos Lager. It was an excellent Mexican Lager and totally what I wanted in the flavor profile. Occasionally other Mexican Lagers can be a letdown but not in this case at all... nope... not one bit. In the flavor profile you will taste a grainy flavor, maltiness (but it's not heavy handed. It's very well balanced), citrus and lime are present as well. The Primos is so easy to drink that you could easily have more than one in one sitting... but I behaved and just had the one. Great brewery with fairly large outdoor and indoor seating however it can fill up real fast on Fridays and weekends.

My friends and I wanted to cool off with a cold drink after a day of kayaking. I got an Icy Boys,…read morewhich was light and refreshing. The service was excellent! My friend wanted to watch a golf tournament, and the bartender was kind enough to change the channel on one of the TVs for us. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, which makes this brewery a great place to hang out with friends.

Well, Blue Owl was definitely on my list of breweries to try while on our trip to Austin. While we…read moretook a pretty significant chunk out if what I had bookmarked and a few that I did not have bookmarked it was impossible to hit all of them regardless if I had them in my list or not. But I am so very glad that I got to experience a beer from Blue Owl. I really enjoyed it a lot! The beer that Steve and I had was called Spirit Animal. This beer was a sour and a pale ale that was kind if blended together it seemed making it very unique and tasty! Nothing in the flavor profile was too sweet about it at all. The sour feature was in full effect and it was great! Flavors to detect and have fun with this beer are sour, tart, hoppy and dryness. I think that part, the dryness I liked best. The beer is nice and light bodied which is a great fit for when Austin cranks up the southwest and summer heat!

Just visited High Noon for the first time, and this bar is seriously one of the cutest Austin dive…read morebars I'd easily return to! The vibe inside is dark, a little edgy, and effortlessly cool. Basic cocktails-- bleh. Craft cocktails--incredible. You're already spending the double digits, why not try one of High Noon's signature cocktails? My favorite: the espresso martini. I promise it's not basic, it's got coconut foam that makes this drink SO perfect!

Loved how they set up the space for SXSW Illegal Mezcal showcase of bands and speakers. There were…read more3 stages. Outside front, inside, outside back. Great weather on the day I went. I enjoyed the mezcal samplers on the porch after which I went to the bar and bought a Mezcal negroni which was yummy! Loved being able to walk around and see the different bands. I wasn't quite sure what the panel topic was in the backyard so I just stayed for a few minutes before wandering back to the front until the bands started. I was only able to drop by for a couple hours yesterday but was glad I did! They were giving away free vinyls so I grabbed a few for my friends because I don't have a player. They even had a little tattoo station set up for those who felt like getting a last minute tattoo. It was a chill vibe and good music. Great place to have indoor/outdoor events and gatherings. I was also able to find street parking just a couple blocks down, which is a rare find in Austin these days.

Really good service and really good and unique drinks…read more The server was very good at explaining the drinks and really enjoyed his job.

I love that their cocktail menu is inspired by the artist on display at that time. The drinks are always delicious. Most recently, I stopped in and was able to try out the new food menu. I had their crab sando, a small but delicious sandwich priced at $15 with real crab (not imitation, I asked). The service was a little slow, but otherwise excellent. It wasn't too busy but I stopped by shortly after they opened.

Atmosphere | 4/5…read more Loudmouth has a fun, casual atmosphere that fits the restaurant well. It's a nice spot to grab pizza, hang out, and enjoy a meal without anything feeling too formal. Food | 5/5 The Carolina BBQ wings are very good! Easily one of my favorite things on the menu. SOOOO good! I've tried several of their pizzas, and they've all been consistently good. I especially appreciate how balanced the flavors are. The toppings, sauce, and cheese complement each other without anything being overpowering. The crust is another highlight for me. I love a good thin crust, but there's a fine line between thin and cardboard. Loudmouth gets it right! It's thin without being dry or overly crispy, and it still has a nice texture. The tiramisu was good, too. Service | 3/5 My experiences with the service have been mixed. I've had some genuinely pleasant interactions with staff, but I've also had a few experiences that left me uncomfortable. As a black patron I've encountered microsgressions which will not go overlooked. Overall Experience | 4/5

Loudmouth is a casual pizza restaurant that still feels classy so it's perfect for a weekend dinner…read morewith friends or a more casual date night. There's a nice patio area for outdoor seating, they have great happy hour deals, and have live music on Thursdays from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. NOTES: - Reservations: available on OpenTable - Parking: small lot next to the building but free street parking is also available nearby - Happy hour: Monday through Friday until 6:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00 pm, and all night every Thursday - Online ordering: available on their website through ToastTab for pickup only THE HIGHS: - I had a reservation for 8:00 pm on a Saturday night, arrived at 7:50 pm, and got seated right away - Service was great and food came out quickly - Everything is very shareable so you can order a lot of different things to try - The homemade ranch is AMAZING! THE LOWS: - The bar was backed up so it took about 15 minutes to get an iced tea - Soft drinks aren't refillable ($4 for a single can of Diet Coke is pretty crazy) THE PRICE: The pricing is reasonable for other similar pizza places in Austin. - Diet Coke ($4) - Iced tea ($4.50) - Italian sandwich ($19) - Big Bad Wolf pizza ($21) - Hot Boy Summer pizza ($21) - Ricotta added to pizza ($4) - Side of ranch ($1) The total was $82.87 after tax ($6.13) but before tip. (We also ordered the warm seeded focaccia for $7 but weren't charged for it) BEST BITES: - Warm seeded focaccia: the whipped honey garlic butter that comes on the side is PHENOMENAL! I could eat it with a spoon! - Italian sandwich: One of my favorite Italian sandwiches ever! The bread is soft but holds up, the spicy capicola and spicy giardiniera add the perfect little kiss of heat, and the marinated mozzarella is thick and delicious! THE VERDICT: This was my first time at Loudmouth and I had a good experience overall. I came excited to try the pizza but was a little underwhelmed... the char from the wood-fired oven is delicious but the actual dough doesn't have much flavor. There are a lot of pizza places I prefer in Austin. HOWEVER, the Italian sandwich was phenomenal and I would come back just for that! Overall, I'd recommend Loudmouth to others but would suggest trying some of the menu items other than just pizza.

One of my favorite bars in Austin. Some people might see it as a little divey, but that's honestly…read morepart of the charm. The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed, and easy to settle into whether you're there for a quick drink or hanging out for the night. The drinks are consistently great, and they also have really solid weekday food specials. The sliders and tots are definitely the go-to items on the menu and always hit the spot after a few drinks. One thing I especially appreciate is how much effort they put into the themed décor during Christmas and Halloween. It really adds personality to the space and makes coming back during the holidays feel fun and memorable every year. Just an overall great neighborhood bar with good vibes and a lot of character.

This is my first time at this place during October as Mo's tavern, cute! I came to Nickel City to…read morecelebrate a buddy's birthday tonight and at the front there was a sign that they would search bags but I figured if mines was small enough it was cool ? My purse wasn't searched. Had a great time celebrating Kevin's birthday, bought and paid for my tab, closed out only to have the same blue haired door man ask to check my bag before I left. I happily opened my purse and made a comment out loud about being discriminated against and he said they do it to everyone... but when and how who I didn't see that happen to anyone? I've been here for quite some time. I felt prejudice towards myself from blue haired boy because I was on my way out and the person whose job it was to check my tote upon entry ( which they did not) ask to look into my bag then and there.. with no explanation. If the staff gets in trouble for not checking a bag throughout the night just say so. As a woman of color, I felt targeted especially since I've been in Austin for 39 years... Austin really has turn to trash.

It seems like a great bar, but there isn't much going on. I like its signage and logo plus the decor inside is pretty sick, but the place to me really just didn't seem special.

Really enjoyed Anthem's Happy Hour! (M-F open-7pm)…read more We split a variety of items off their HH menu: - banana daiquiri (sweet and tropical vibes) - Lychee Lowdown (floral and refreshing) - Salmon poke (full sized and fresh) - Itchy Salmon (warm and rich) - Brisket Rangoons (crispy and savory) - Miso Mac Daddy (loved their take on mac and cheese balls!) Service was excellent as there weren't too many patrons on the afternoon that we visited. The decor is cute yet casual. When we're back in Austin, we'll definitely come back!
