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.

My baby loved sitting in the shade and staring at all the trees! Beers are German themed and they have a few Athletic NA beers too. We've been a few times and always enjoy it :)

Creeks is the restaurant in the lobby of that circular Hilton you see at Bergstrom Airport…read more Have you ever driven by that circular buidling and ever wondered what it is like inside? I did that like from the first week I moved to Austin. It was an Air Force HQ at the time. Going inside was always on my bucket list. To write this review, I did just that. The Circular Hilton looks just as cool inside as you think it would. And Creeks restaurant in the dead center of the circle is a fine place. But now that that is out of my system I don't have to go back again. * * * There is some serious architecture inside the Airport Hilton. This will appeal to people like me who love designs in structural steel. (Think about what the Eiffel Tower looks like as you go up the stairs.) In this case, the design touch is single steel pillars turning into quadruple steel columnar pillars holding up a large glass dome with steel divisions between the panes. The visual effect is breathtaking. The visual effect would be even more breathtaking If there were not a stupid hotel bar in the middle of the atrium with a lot of Sports TVs that block 2/3 of the view. But the Hilton people have to actually run a hotel. The overwhelming majority of their customers want to order drinks at the bar, eat a snack or a meal and watch Sports TV. Very few of them want to go hungry while staring up at structural steel in meditative contemplation. My best attempts at meditative contemplation fell woefully short ... So I just tossed in the towel and watched Sports TV. It was an afternoon in the middle of the week so a bunch of talking heads were giving their opinion on a variety of NBA players. Well, they were emotional enough to be entertaining. Some of the video clips were okay. * * * Foodwise, Creeks is not too bad. It is hotel food at hotel prices. I am not sure how well they are set up for kitchen space. (Although most hotels do a lot of catering.) The menu is kept manage-ably small. The prices for the food were slightly high but not disturbingly high. (Foreshadowing ........ I did however have to park my car. You can guess where this review is going to go.) I ordered a plate of nachos. The bar nachos were decent. To justify the mark-up, they were served in a long narrow canoe-like serving dish. The graphic was appealing. The quantity was more than enough for lunch. Even with the large bar-kiosk in the center of the floor, I could still see a good quarter of the roof. So there were things to see when I would get bored with basketball chatter. * * * Remember this is the airport. I had to drive through a gate and get a ticket in order to enter the hotel parking lot. The staff explained that the gate wouldn't be an issue and I could just push a button to get out. Well, maybe I did things wrong. But going to the gate I found that it was going to cost me an extra $12 to get out of the parking lot. That on top of the hotel prices on the nachos. So this was not a cheap outing. * * * The inside of the Airport Hilton is still something to see. The food they serve in the atrium is not too bad. Ride your bike to the Hilton, walk from your house to the Hilton, or take the Hilton limo from the terminal if your flight to Austin has just landed. Driving there and parking is only for people who really really really love lobby-gazing.

Everyone knows that airports have notoriously high prices. One of my coworkers told me that Thurman's offers a child's meal for $5.99. It includes a burger and large steak fries . That sounded good to me...both the meal and the price! I had to give it a try.! The cashier called my name, and the 1/4 burger and steak fries were ready quickly and served hot. It didn't seem like a kid's meal; it was a nice portion. Very delicious, satisfying and filling. The place does have a fun, old fashioned vibe, true to the name.

The food is good overall--fresh, well-prepared, and reliable--but it doesn't quite reach the level of being incredible.

Crispy Cauliflower was a bit of a miss for me - fried but sitting in some overly sweet sauce. A few bites were more than enough to satiate the curiosity. All in all, it's a dependable choice when you want something quick, clean, and decent without too much fuss.

So we thought we would make a whole night of it. Tiffany did make reservations for us for 7pm and even though this is a bar hopping neighborhood, even at 7pm it was pretty busy. Streets were full of people. Anthem had a vibe. I felt the energy as soon as I waked in. The cozy booths with the U shaped seating with plush green velvet fabric. Wait staff wore Hawaiian shirts. Sitting up behind me on a ledge was the Easter Island statue. Insert (Night At The Museum) here, dumb dumb give me gum gum. Anthem was our first stop tonight. Just drinks and a dinner. I ordered the Peach Fuzzy drink. Not too sweet, refreshing, peachy, and beautiful garnish of a flower. I ordered the Yummy Fries which looked like a salad. Gorgeous presentation. Fries were actually waffle sweet potatoes. Pickled ginger, sesame seeds, furikake, aïoli and a few other wonderful ingredients. Could not get over how beautiful everything looked. Presentation outstanding. Service delightful. Had a wonderful time at Anthem. We both did use the ladies rooms before leaving. Inside the bathroom there is a sign about safety and if you need assistants. I did take a picture of it. On our way out, Brian the manager, said good night to us and waved. We later saw Brian at another place. And I'll write about that in my review for that place as well. Brian, you're Doll, thank you for your hospitality.
