**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!

I can't say anything about the beer because I've only had their wines (living the gf-life!)…read more But lemme say, those tacos! The pollo verde tacos are my absolute favorite. I most recently ate...maybe six (hey, they're small!). Even the guy at the register, after my third visit up to order two tacos at a time, said, "you really like those tacos..." No shame, bb. Shrimp tacos, chipotle chicken, nachos... all great. They do a bit heavy on the onions, so maybe ask for it on the side.

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!

Nice small bar in the area. Most of the building space is the brewery and storage probably…read more It's rare to find a place that offers beers for less than $3 each. They had a crawl fish boil event here. Service was good.

The drinks were solid and the prices were about average. The staff were nice and quick to serve drinks! It was busy so we hanged out outside. The downside is that there's a lot of flies so gotta watch your food like a hawk.

Papercut isn't a bar that I frequent, but probably should. Each time I've stopped by, I've enjoyed…read morea new menu alongside new art on the walls. 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.

We loved this spot!…read more Checked it out before dinner and tried the Papercut - mezcal and yummy - def spirit forward My husband got a beer but we will definitely be back to try other drinks on the menu and happy hour and sushi!! Lots of cool art inside and service was great - our server was super knowledgeable We will def come back to try more!

Go. The answer is yes. You won't be disappointed…read more Everything was great. Food. Service. Drinks. Dessert.

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.

I realize I haven't updated this review since relocating to Austin two years ago. As you may have…read morenoted from my previous review, I'd come here twice a year when visiting from the east coast. One of my stipulations for relocation was to be within walking distance of my beloved Nickel City. Guess what? I am! Less than a five-minute walk. I love this place so much. It's not always about drinking. In fact, quite often I'll do mocktails, water, or soda. It's about community and friendship. The vibe at NC can't fully be expressed in words. It has to be experienced. The staff treat locals and tourists like friends. And, if you're lucky enough, you actually become friends. They're like a family. Same can be said about patrons, whether regulars, sometimers, or tourists, everyone feels the love. Everyone just gets it! They have some of the best cocktails around. The frozen Irish coffee is incredible. Espresso martinis on tap? Yes, please! And if you want the best bar/comfort food ever then order from their food truck, Delray Cafe. Crinkle cut fries A+ Smashburgers A+ Hot Dogs A+ Grilled Cheese A+ Pizza Logs A+ Tater Tots A+ Everything on the menu A+ Be sure to give the gang in the kitchen (food truck) some love! They're putting out the real deal. Oh and let's not forget Steak Night! Much love to my fave neighbor, Nickel City!

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. I'll have to come here on a busy night and hang to see if I understand the hype. For now, it's just another fun bar on East Sixth. RIYL: good branding

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!

Visited on Sunday evening for a happy hour meal. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, so it was…read morea good chance to try several things on the menu. Charred Edamame - Spicy! Definitely has a kick, be prepared if you don't take spicy food well. Thai Hippie Tofu - Good flavor, although there was a little too much sauce and salty for my taste. Char-Buff Cauliflower - Good and flavorful. Hawaiian Shrimp Ceviche - Refreshing and a nice option. Itchy Salmon - Two tiny pieces of sushi, but they were good. Brisket Rangoons - Just okay for me. This was probably my least favorite dish of the night. Sweet Potato Waffle Fries - crispy with good flavor. A fun side to share. Smash Burger - We had it cut in half, which made it perfect for sharing. Good burger and a satisfying way to end the meal. Overall, a fun spot for happy hour if you want to order several different dishes and share. There was a good variety.
