There were plenty of drink options to choose from, and the menu definitely caught our attention, which is what brought us in. We started with the nachos with beef. They were pretty good overall, though the Velveeta-style cheese wasn't our favorite. The meat lovers pizza was a hit -- thin crust, well-cooked, and full of flavor. The main reason we came was for the chicken wings, and unfortunately, those were a bit disappointing and left us wanting more. However, the owner personally came over to apologize and explained that those were not the wings they normally serve. He even comped us $10 in cash, which was a very appreciated and classy gesture. The staff was friendly throughout our visit, and because of how the situation was handled, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and plan to come back again to let them redeem themselves.

Nice and bold on the garlic & full bodied with the tahini forward flavor. And the texture was very fresh and authentic to Lebanese style. Wonderful experience!

The club along with friends from Dallas and San Antonio headed east after the Texas Independence Day Parade. Libation education started at Derelict Airship AKA Violet Crown Spirits just west of Bastrop. You've hear of strip mall chic? Think business park chic! Quite similar to my friends over at Desert Door in Driftwood. Matt was an excellent host explaining the history behind each of their offerings. Let's start with Absinthe. Banned for many years in the US and parts of Europe, small batch distilleries have been popping up in the US since 2007. The anise flavor is quite strong and it's recommended you cut it with water. I've heard sugar cubes are common as well. Other in house offerings include an Elderflower and Jasmine Liqueur. Girlfriend and I's personal favorite was the Jasmine and we took home a bottle to pair up with other local spirits. A top notch experience from start to finish. Our group is excited to see this company grow. See y'all soon!

Live Oak Brewing Company is one of Austin's oldest breweries, best known for traditional German and…read moreCzech style lagers, especially its hefeweizen, pilsner, and seasonal lagers using old world brewing techniques. Founded in 1997 by Chip McElroy, Live Oak was built with a simple idea "make beer for people who actually like the taste of beer." In 2015, Live Oak moved to their current location on a beautiful property along the Colorado River, opening a taproom and biergarten. One its unique features...it's off the beaten path of other breweries. Live Oak Brewing is north of the airport and backs to the Fast Park remote airport parking lot. At first glance it looks like it's a convergence of a fire station and deserted manufacturing plant. The grounds are impeccable...tall statuesque trees, lush green vegetation and an extensive outside biergarten. It feels like you are in a nature bubble. Interestingly, Live Oak Brewing has its own on site 18 hole disc golf course (different from traditional golf) located directly on the brewery's property. Live Oak Brewing's interior has the feel of a German Hofbräu...homey, spacious, and welcoming, with long communal tables that encourage conversation and human interaction. You can see directly into the brewing space, with large tanks and equipment. Also, board games are available if you choose to play. Live Oak is family friendly and dog friendly. In fact, Groot, the owner's dog, freely roams through the brewery drinking area. While I only had sips of beer (not a big beer drinker), my friends enjoyed their beers. Live Oak Brewery Company is a super fun place to hang out.

They offer flights of 4 beers for $8, so we grabbed the opportunity to try all of their beers as well as one of the seltzer flavors they make. We choose the lemon/lime, but they also had a prickly pear and a watermelon seltzer available. Our favorite beers were the Dube Moon (a play on Blue Moon, served with a fresh orange slice and everything) as well as the Wolf Bock (very toasty and malty perfect for the colder months). There is a large food menu that is made in house. We ordered the Green Chili Cheeseburger that was delicious and evoked memories of happy backyard celebrations with the Green Chili Mac and Cheese side(I could eat a whole bucket of this!), and it comes with a pickle. We then headed over to the winery building which has lots of homemade items and food products to stuff your stockings for the holidays. We tried a create your own flight of 4 different wines and learned a lot about the area and how they make everything. The wines were more sweet and light than we usually drink, but I'm sure that appeals to more people. The drive out is very far, but there are a decent amount of signs along the way. It's a great wide space to bring your dog or kids. There are 2 very well behaved and friendly Australian Shepards of the owners that roam around. One sat with us for a while, so cute! There are a few large, clear tvs and that day they had a few football games playing that day with a reasonable volume. They have an amazing stage setup and live music every week. This would be a wonderful place to use for a large event. They have large, clean bathrooms and tons of parking. We'll definitely be back to try rotating beers and just purely because of the service and how welcome we were made to feel.
