Inside of the bar
Micky N.

A fun bar with reasonably priced drinks and free skeeball before 9PM (I think). There are no complaints here! The bartender was just minding her business most of the time, but that's fine since no one was hanging out at the bar top any ways! I also loved their outdoor area. The painted fences were a nice touch and I love that they keep bug repellant for the customers. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice spot to play some games.

450 score!

Can't hate on a bar that does free skeeball two days a week and overlaps it with a pretty decent happy hour! I came here and had a $3 well drink and practiced my 100-point shots. There's some real skeeball nerds that come here to practice for their leagues... I can say nerd because I could easily see myself becoming one of these nerds. Ha!

I call this my Ketoquila. Patron Tequila, lime juice and Topo Chico.

What a gem we discovered on Saturday looking for a drink spot. Great vibe, great bonus, great pours! They had Patron and Topo Chico which I don't find often so I was a happy lady! Skee Ball was a bonus!

Full circle might be my favorite bar in austin, but i dont come here enough. This bar has a strong northeast vibe. It reminds me of home. They have another location in brooklyn. They serve lagunitas. They have dreidle shuffle board, which is amazing in itself. They top it off with an edgy location in a gentrifying area. The key feature is skee ball. Its addicting and its free before 8p. In terms of atmosphere, its a pretty standard dive bar. They have a nice patio in the back with some cool murals. I also like the fact that their beer menu deviates from the austin starter pack. The have some sours from blue owl in addition to lagunitas. Theyre well and cocktail game is pretty standard but not bad. Not too expensive. They check off all the features that i want in a bar. The last thing to note is the neighborhood around the bar is pretty scrappy. 10 years ago, this place was pretty dangerous. Its a lot more subdued now, thanks to all the new luxury apt complexes. Some fun characters still walk by during the week though so be warned.

My husband and I stopped for a drink on an early Friday night before heading to an event down the street. My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a Moscow mule. The drink was made wrong and the bartender realized right after she handed to me. She ended up remaking my drink which was delicious. The bartender let us know that the skeeball machines were currently free so we played a few game. Definitely a dive bar and I loved it! I would like to try some tots in the future since they sounded good via the descriptions. Also it should be noted they have an outdoor area with corn hole and patio seating.

Very yummy beer. Mmmm, beer.

I forget the name of the beer I had here, but it was described to me as a grapefruit flavored IPA. The bartender here is super sweet and patient -I asked for a recommendation of something g local on draft. Anyway, the attraction here is the skeeball - there are 5 lanes. Not sure if drunk or buzzed skeeball is advisable but it sure was fun! This place has a local bar feel, everyone seemed to know each other.

Full circle food was a pleasantly unexpected surprise! Fun dive bar with a great chef in the back. Try the beignet special for sure!!

Skeeball for all!

With the exception of league nights, it's normally not very crowded and that means you can skeeball to your heart's content! My only complaint is that they aren't open before 5pm on Saturday and Sunday - could totally see myself day drinking here and getting my skeeball game on. On second thought, perhaps it's better they aren't open during the day; otherwise my skeeball cumplusion would prevent me from ever getting anything accomplished on the weekends :)

When is karaoke?

Friday and Saturday, 9 pm to 2 am

Is this place kid friendly?

On Sundays they open at noon for brunch. There are always kids in there. I would say it's kid friendly till about 8:00 or so. Then pretty much 21 and up.

From the vibes, to the food, and the fun, Bull & Bowl delivered on every level. Located on West 6th, Bull & Bowl doesn't have a dedicated or private parking lot. There is street parking all around as well as paid parking lots near by as well. We made our way up to the second level and were immediately greeted by the staff. We were taken past the bar and mechanical bull to our tables. Service was great! They were patient and knowledgeable with the menu/offerings, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. Drinks were great, an expansive menu with specialty cocktail offerings as well as a full bar, side note they do not have draft here. So far as dinner, their menu is rather diverse and we ordered quite the spread. Food came out fast, accurate, and hot. I opted for their Buttermilk Caesar Salad and loved it. Although we only went for the Mechanical Bull and had a blast, they do offer arcade games, duckpin bowling, karaoke rooms, and more. I say that to highlight the energy here was high and there were a number of groups/parties enjoying at Bull & Bowl has to offer and it was LOUD in there. Not a complaint, just something to keep in mind depending on the kind of evening you're looking to have. Everyone left the evening full and with a smile on their face, and Bull & Bowl will absolutely be on our list when looking to host future team outings. Thanks for the great time.

During this visit to Pinstack we got food, played games and did some bowling. The bowling was fun but it's bowling so you should know what to expect. The food was half and half. The Mac and Cheese balls were super super good and my wife and I gobbled those up quick. The fries however, not that great. It's supposed to be "cheese fries" but in actuality it was just a bunch of fries with a small amount of shredded cheese and some sour cream on top. The games were fun but it does cost a lot of points per game to do anything. If you're gonna get a small amount of game credits on your play card, like 20 for example, you'll run out of points quick. I would like to come back again for bowling but I won't rush out the door to come back. I'd say if you're coming here for the first time, get a good amount of credits on your game card or just do bowling. Food is up to you since we only tried 2 appetizers I can't comment too much on it.

I thought I completed the holiday circuit, however, one more to go. Well...I certainly hope so…read more This holiday party was held at Main Event Austin, which I had never frequented. I was not prepared for the sensory explosion I experienced when entering Main Event. Lights, camera, action - bright lights permeated throughout the building, sounds of the games being played sharpened your senses and the roar of the crowd within the building felt like you were nearing the end of a race finish line. Let's talk about this place...Main Event Austin is an ideal location for entertainment and fun for every age group! The venue has an assortment of activities to choose from - bowling, arcade games, laser tag, and billiards. Main Event is perfect for families, friends, or group outings. There were a variety of customers present - bowlers, several groups having private parties in the party rooms towards the back of the facility, billiard players and a plethora of arcade customers. Wow! We had a pizza party with a variety of pizza being served. Drinks were on your own, if you chose to have adult beverages. It is always interesting to see work colleagues in a non-work setting. Dan, our server, was attentive and managed to keep multiple individual tabs straight by assigning a number to each customer. Had fun...felt like a kid again...

Then several hours later we were notified that our party needed to be pushed back to 2:30pm because of a buyout, ok sure. Main Event coordinator apologized and offered items to make up for the mistake and booking issue. Then I noticed on the contact a 12% service fee ($46 and some change), I asked the event coordinator and she explained that the 12% goes to the event host/server. This was not the case it was a 12% booking fee that goes to the front office staff. WOW! 12% to book online?!?! Seriously?! The server was the one who explained it to me. When I asked the manager on duty she gave me attitude and basically said "you signed the contract so you have to pay it". The day of the party it didn't seem like everyone was on the same page, our host/server did the best he could and apologized several times but it was out of his hands. The pizza came out late and the wings arrived 40 minutes after the pizza. The pizza was not hot and the wing platter turned out to be wings, tenders and nuggets. We ate the wings and tried to return the tenders and nuggets but no manager came to the table. We took care of the host/server with cash tip but we definitely don't recommend this place for birthday parties or gatherings.

Pool is upstairs to play if you're real good at it, But that's not the best of it they have really good burgers I ordered a bacon cheeseburger it was really large juicy not too overly seasoned the fries were a little dry but they made me some new ones that were fresh I was very pleased and happy about that. The bartender was very sweet personable place was clean. The bartender made me a delicious Margarita spiced perfect and the chicken wings the lemon and pepper was seasoned perfectly I had to take the rest home because it's a lot of food for very little money. And yes I will be returning very shortly especially for the chicken wings!
