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.

To start off we placed our order and at the same time asked the waitress for extra chips for our app not minding if we had to pay extra. Waited a while for the food to come out, when it did they forgot the chips and by then the appetizer had already gone cold so we didn't bother. The tacos were okay except for the cheese that gets melted on the tortilla on one of them , it just tasted very greasy. The rice and beans that it came with were not good at all, not sure if you're able to tell in the picture but that rice was burnt, half of it was inedible, hard burned rice and the beans were cold. My fiancés fettuccine was too salty and she left 80% of it untouched. The only upside besides the other server who took our order and forgot our chips, our original server was friendly and nice. The drinks were the best thing here and the only thing worth the money. Everything else was not worth the money or hype.

We almost go at-least twice a month to Doc B's, as my son loves it, and it's one of those place in…read moredomain that is our family favorite too. Ambiance is good, we mostly sit outdoors, service is always great, last two times Evan took care of us, and he's awesome. We don't eat anything with beef or pork, and in Doc Bs, even with that restriction they have so many options, especially with chicken, cocktails are bit pricey, but it's same in all the places in Domain, but they are solid, my go to drinks are Beverly Hills martini, crazy beautiful and the internal affairs. Hubby usually gets done local drafts. Food: my son loves habanero honey glazed fried chicken with jalapeño potatoes. I like naked chicken wings(Thai sweet and spicy sauce on the side), or chicken kebab, which I usually have leftovers almost always. Hubby likes there , the number six sandwich. Their kungpao Brussel sprouts are addictive(but it's not a regular thing). And even though we have been here N number of times, we are always so full and never make it to dessert, but this time had decided to try dessert, hubby and me shared house made Oreo ice cream, I love love ice cream and there Oreo ice cream is one of the best Oreo ice cream I've ever had, and that warm not too sweet chocolate sauce was just perfect. Thank-you Doc B's for another amazing meal

Bumper pool table, couches and seating areas. A small bar with some pretty unique cocktails. Apparently it was a hopping place on Saturday night. By the time we got there, ordered our drinks and sat down on the couch, a group of people came in and sat near us with drinks in hand. Guess this hotel lobby is the trending place. The vibe is pretty cool. It doesn't feel like a lobby. Just seems like a chill place to talk and catch up without a lot of noise and distractions. I believe the bar in the lobby is open to midnight. I got a mint cookie drink. And literally tastes like a liquid mint chocolate cookie. I could have had 4 more. Yum, minty.

I walked in and sat myself at the bar with no acknowledgement. Once being seated at the bar for around 8 minutes I HAD TO ask for service.. No drink menu to look over, everything here was a big inconvenience. I felt out of place and none of the bar tenders were personable at all. Not with me at least. After scanning their bar menu I decided to leave because of the service and lack of choice on the menu.. 3 thumbs downs. I do not recommend, although SOME people will find this place to their liking.

The venue offers a dynamic space where we enjoyed a variety of experiences all under one roof including bowling and classic arcade games. The food spread was impressive, featuring a mix of comfort food with a modern twist. Highlights for me were the Slow-Cooked Braised Short Ribs with crispy onion strings, Beef Medallions with Balsamic cream sauce, Mac and cheese, fresh salad with Iceberg and romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onions, crostini with tangy lemon vinaigrette and buttermilk ranch dressing and crispy Brussels sprouts with Hoisin sauce, Fresno chiles, cilantro. They also had an amazing dessert assortment with classic French macarons, petite cheesecake bites, and mini cupcakes that disappeared fast. The open bar kept the energy going, with an assortment of expertly mixed cocktails, craft beers, and a curated selection of wines. I ordered the margarita with Lunazul tequila, Bols triple sec, lime, Tres Agaves agave nectar, chili-lime salt and added strawberry and a tajin rim. The bowling plus the arcade-style games made it a great team bonding experience. I enjoyed the skiball and basketball game options. Definitely a fun group event venue in The Domain if you want good food, drinks, and entertainment all in one place.

This mixed-use restaurant and bar space, located in the domain, combines gaming with a complete bar and dining options. You can purchase a cocktail or beer along with bar food. The massive size of the space makes it ideal for company gatherings or large family events. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, with a large, open layout that feels like you are truly in your own little world within the Punch Bowl social club. We played games for hours with the time flying by like a jet airplane. While the food and drinks were good, the real fun was the games. Our servers were great and attentive.

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.
