My friends and I came here to watch the Paraguay vs. France knockout match. Driving here was incredibly easy because venue has an ample amount of parking space, so we didn't waste any game time hunting for a spot. Once inside, we were thrilled to find a great layout featuring a shaded open-air area as well as a powerful AC indoor area, which was an absolute lifesaver in this extreme Austin summer heat. We managed to score the perfect spot with highly comfortable seating and an excellent view of the screens. The draft beer selection was fantastic and served ice-cold, keeping our crew fully refreshed through a very high-stakes, stressful match. Finding a venue that handles a massive tournament crowd while keeping service fast is rare, but this spot absolutely nailed it. read more

It really is so overpriced that I laughed out loud when I read the menu. Opted for cheese sticks (wasn't feeling $28 for an entree) and they brought me a schnitzel plate. The waiter seemed genuinely angry that I didn't order what he brought me. $15 for an 8oz frozen margarita out of a machine? Nope. read more

I remember seeing this establishment in East Austin and wondering where do I park? So when I spotted it on my daily South Lamar commute I was delighted. Stopped by one weeknight, and was pleasantly impressed. Plenty of complimentary parking in a huge parking area. Beautiful exterior with a whimsical patio. Indoor space is large, open, and enjoyable. Several different seating options, which I love! I sat at the bar. Britain was approachable, and immediately began my pour. Love that, aware that can always happen. She offered great food suggestions, I need to try one of everything. Will have to return for fried pickles will be my first experience. I really love my new neighborhood establishment! read more

My reading club chose to meet here and I was excited to try somewhere close to home. Unfortunately it was trivia night and we had nowhere to get away from the noise. The Reuben sandwich was good. I had one Stella and finished with a brownie which was tasty. I can't believe it set me back $50. Service was very good. I don't think I'll be back. I miss Baker Street very much. read more

Amazing patio. This is a go to spot on South Lamar. Super cold beers, awesome food. Try the burger or any sausage. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. Ton of TVs and very dog friendly. Highly recommend read more

I watched a World Cup game here and the vibe was perfection!! The food was fantastic. The service was a little slow but to be expected since it was a packed house. I went back the next day when it wasn't as crowded and the service was top notch!! We had a great time. I forgot to take a picture but the curry fries were amazing!! So far the food is 10/10. read more

I am conflicted. I went to Koko's for the first trivia since it became Koko's (used to be Baker Street Pub). The good: the pretzel was very yummy! The bratwurst wasn't bad either. It's great to be back in the space playing ATX City Trivia The bad: They completely changed the vibe of the place from a rustic, cozy place to very hotel-like with little character (which I find weird for a Bavarian style restaurant... all the restaurants in Bavaria look much more like what Baker St used to look like). My bratwurst took 1.5 hours to come out. After the waitress admitted that they gave it to someone else, it took another 30 minutes to get a new one. The director of operations apologized by saying they didn't expect such a large crowd, but it didn't feel like a fair reason to take almost 2 hours for a bratwurst. I was shocked when I saw my bill... which was charged 100% for the brat they failed to give me in any semblance of an adequate amount of time. I'll be going back for trivia but probably wouldn't order food again. read more

The Bavarian prince Konstantin Prinz von Bayern opened this beer hall located near the Broken Spoke. It is 7,000 feet on the inside and includes a patio with an extra 2,000 feet of space. Von Bayern formerly had a brick and mortar in east Austin that closed in 2023. He then switched business models, sold the business to Ticketmaster, and spread to sports arenas across America, including our very own Moody Center. You may have seen the food kiosk at a recent Spurs game, concert, or rodeo. The menu includes sausages, hot dogs, Belgian fries, chicken wings, Bavarian pretzels and lots of beer. They also have $$$ hamburgers, schnitzel, etc. like anything with Ticketmaster, the prices seem higher than they should be. That said, it's so nice to finally have a German option without driving to Fredericksburg or New Braunfels. (It's boldly across the street from Easy Tiger, which is perhaps Koko's only contender for the best Bavarian pretzel in South Austin.) Scholtz's beer garden is an old-skool option but parking is a true problem. We tried the frankfurter with Belgian fries; the curry sausage and fries; the sausage with sauerkraut; and the mozzarella cheese sticks. The food was really appreciated by the 11 year old. I'll try the pretzel next time, since it comes highly recommended. Oddly there are only two German beers on tap. The cocktails are milk toast. Local lore: This spot was the Chotchkes restaurant used for the "flair" scene with Jennifer Aniston in the Office Space movie, so I was curious to see the latest version of the former Baker Street Pub, which was the former Alligator Grill. As dark as Baker Street was, Koko's is light. There are about twenty giant televisions playing [hopefully] all the sports games you'd need. Everything is well lit and the place feels super clean with plenty of elbow room, which is a luxury these days in south central Austin. It would be an excellent place for a large group celebration (work or recreational-sports-team happy hour, for instance), or a really fun place to watch Austin FC games or the World Cup. The ambiance seems to be going for sports arena. You can almost imagine a crowd of people standing to watch the game, accidentally spilling their Belgian fries when a goal is scored. They still have the cozy patio with twinkle lights wrapped around the oak trees as an alternative for a more quiet and intimate date night. The staff is helpful, friendly, efficient and competent. Parking is available, since the lot is connected to the rest of the strip mall. read more

Koko's Bavarian - Local lore - "flair" scene from Office Space movie - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm a huge sports fan and I'm always looking for new sports bars to watch games. I decided to check out Koko's Beer Hall to watch the Final Four games. And I definitely plan on returning. First of all, the place is spacious and has a ton of TVs. It's easy to watch multiple games at the same time which I love. Secondly, the food is good. It's a little pricey but I did like some of the dishes. I tried a bunch of their appetizers and my favorites were the Brisket & Smoked Sausage Cheddar Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños, Koko's Famous Giant Pretzel and Bacon Cheese Fries. They have decent options for beer, cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic drinks too. Third, the service was good. Lastly, I loved the atmosphere, especially for University of Texas games. It's always more fun to be around a crowd that is cheering for the same team as you. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

Yeah, I read the reviews before going but thought y'all are overreacting. I really liked Koko's when they were on the East side. How bad could it be? Yep. Nope. My sincerest apologies. This place really does suck. It is freakishly overpriced. It's really loud. They've only been open a couple of months and service is bad. I think these folks are already beat down. Got a pretzel and a beer and left. The pretzel was pretty good but I won't be a repeat customer. I miss Baker Street Pub. read more

Stopped in after dinner on Christmas evening with our dog. I had really been looking forward to checking out this relatively new spot but it was underwhelming. It's a large room with lots of seating (tables & chairs, picnic tables, sofas, bar area, etc.). Think European food hall (sort of but not truly authentic) meets sports bar (huge screens with sports all around the perimeter) meets strip mall. Everything was clean but just lacking something. I was expecting charm & the feel of halls I've visited all over Europe. I think the holiday decor helped bring some warmth but without it would be like a warehouse shopping club vibe. That's the best way I can describe it. The outdoor patio built around trees was pretty nice though, especially with the holiday decor. We intended on staying inside and had been seated in the sofa area. However, after being there about five minutes, our server informed us that the manager said no dogs allowed. They didn't take the time to find out that we do in fact have service dog credentials. That's neither here nor there. Just pointing it out because it was sort of abrupt, they weren't busy at all (2-3 people at the bar), a family of 4 at one of the tables, and a guy also sitting in the sofa area. Rather than leave, we decided since the weather was so great (78 degrees) to sit outside. That was a better decision anyway because it was a beautiful night and the decorative lights just brought the holiday spirit. As we were heading to the patio, another couple was entering with their small dog, stopped by the same server, advising she was just yelled at by her manager about our dog. They too sat on the patio. I certainly hope she wasn't yelled at by the manager. There could have been more professionalism handling the dog situations. I'm not laying blame with the server at all. These interactions just gave the impression that the place isn't run very well. I wanted to try one of their regular frozen cocktails (not a holiday special) called the frozen Dr. Pepper but it wasn't available. Since we were at what is supposed to be a German beer hall, I opted for a Hefeweizen pour (don't remember the brewery) and it was tasty. However, full from our holiday dinner, I had just a few sips and didn't finish it. My boyfriend got an eggnog cocktail served "Christmas Vacation" style in a moose cup. He said it was tasty. While we were there I said I'd like to give them another try and maybe sample the food. But, I'm actually not sure I'd go out of my way to do so. There are so many places to choose from in Austin and I tend to repeat spots only if I love them. I didn't love Koko. It was just an ok, run of the mill place and experience. read more

I really want to like this place. When they were on the east side it was one of my favorite spots. I was sad to see them close, so when I learned about them opening up again on South Lamar it was great news! Unfortunately nothing about the new place is remotely close to the previous one. Beer selection is limited, about 1/4 of what the east side location had to offer. Food is ridiculously overpriced, and really not very good. $20 for a single hot dog and fries, before gratuity! $40 for a schnitzel! This is not some kind of gourmet authentic German cuisine, which the former location was closer to being. The food quality has gone down while the prices have literally doubled. It's like arena prices. And there's something off about the people who work there. Bar manager standing on the bar and walking around doing the nightly bottle count while people are sitting at the bar is not something I appreciate. The hostess saying "how may I help you" when you walk in is unwelcoming. The whole staff is just aloof. read more

Cool spot, good food, great drinks, great service, but my only issue is with their ridiculously priced veal schnitzel.. 38$ for a small portion of veal schnitzel? That's insanity. Also a little bummed they don't have more Bavarian faire... drop the curry wurst garbage and give the people a sauerbraten or jägerschnitzel... read more

The food was great, the atmosphere was awesome, and the service was stellar. They were even understaffed and apologized for the service, we hadn't noticed an issue or had any issues until he mentioned it. Definitely will be coming back again! Would argue that the pretzel here is better than easy tiger..... just sayin read more

We loved Koko's back when it was on the East Side, and we were bummed when it closed. So to know they reopened was exciting, and since they were on so many people's lists of great Christmas-themed bars over the holidays, we decided to check it out. We made a special trip just to go to their holiday Christmas movie bingo, but when we arrived about 10 minutes before the posted start time, we were the only ones there, and were told it would start at 6:15, not the 6pm time listed online. Our server came over and she didn't seem thrilled to be there, but the hostess was very kind, and the bingo hostess was also super fun....to begin with. Well 6:15 came and a group came in and sat behind us, and I overheard them saying they worked there, and we looked over and they clearly had printed out sheets of cheats for the bingo. The movie coincidentally started once they were finally settled. As some other tables came and left, those bingo cards were "slyly" slid onto their table by our sever who was clearly trying to hide them. They quietly got each bingo that won gift cards (convenient, I know...) and when we got the last, the bingo hostess was nowhere to be found and one of the "customers" at said table asked which prize we wanted, and she would let the girl know. Well, when that girl returned, clearly, her partner, nobody made mention of it or even looked our way and the once cheery bingo hostess was more wrapped up in her friends. Moral of the story, they lure people in, charge premium drink prices, provide horrid service, then rig the game so they don't have to give anything away to paying customers. And yes, we got good, which also, was a mistake. The jalapeños wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese were awful! The cheese inside was still stone cold and they were dripping in oil. When our bill came, none of the happy hour prices were reflected in our tab, and we would have been charged full price had I not caught it! It was definitely disappointing, and I can't foresee us going back again. read more

I had high hopes given the concept and the number of TV's on the walls. Unfortunately the experience didn't add up. To start, the music is really loud especially for a Sunday when it's evident a lot of the crowd is there watching NFL. Unfortunately our server forgot the appetizers we ordered, and were told the incorrect beers. For the food, the hot dogs were under seasoned and the buns were cold. For $11 on a single hot dog I would expect a lot higher quality and consistency. When the pretzel we asked for again appeared, it was hot and yummy, honestly the best food that was ordered. Other than that the beers were cold, and there is plenty of open seating. read more

Koko's Beer Hall has taken over where Baker St. Pub used to be, which used to be an old hang out of mine, I had to check out Koko's. The place looks amazing. So much more spacious and bright. Lots of TV's, perfect for football season. I grabbed a seat at the bar, Blake and Boom were the bartenders. They were awesome! I had two beers while I was there and was being indecisive so they each helped me pick. I also got the cauliflower bites with buffalo and ranch on the side, delicious as always. They made the experience great and I'm looking forward to going back. Koko's is also under new management and the AGM was walking around checking in on guests making sure their experience was going top tier. Love to see a management staff that cares! I will definitely be back! Go see Blake and Boom! read more

Really enjoyed my experience here! The ambiance was lovely, it wasn't insanely busy, and my server Kevin was a joy to have!

Can't wait to be back! read more

I frequented this place when it was the Alligator Grill. I was there when it reopened as Baker Street. Probably too early to rate Koko's but I will. Arrived at Koko's before the UT OU game and yes they do have lots of tv's but they were playing top 40 rock music at a loud level. Don't get me wrong I do love loud rock but this is a sports bar! This place is overpriced and needs to commit to being a sports bar or a dance club. Service was underwhelming. Food was unimpressive. read more

Always used to go to Bakers street for wings and cheap drinks. I saw that it changed to Koko's but wanted to check it out for wings and a drink.

Great vibe for the USA World Cup game...BUT... truly the worst service of my life. We ordered 3 beers, mixed drink and a sandwich just as the game was starting. We got our beers at half time. Over 50 minutes later! Waiter just kept saying they come from the indoor bar and they were too busy. But it gets worse. Our food came after an hour- fine. I get it in a place when everyone orders at once. But my friends Vodka drink? 75 minutes before it showed up. The waiter just shrugged his shoulders and said "we're busy-nothing we can do." Truly awful experience. read more

Ordered a beer and 2 soda waters with a group of friends while playing trivia. My friends burger came out completely burnt, which the server was nice enough to replace. Decided not to get any food following the reviews. Was shocked when I got the bill for the beer and 2 waters since I didn't think they would charge me for the waters (especially without saying anything) and it came out to $28. Regret tipping 18% but was just shocked to see it and should've said something. read more

Came into have lunch with my husband and daughter on Halloween. Decided to sit inside and originally was excited because lots of TVs with Halloween classics were on. The restaurant was not busy, and there was plenty of staff on the floor. It took an abnormal amount of time to get our drinks, even with three bartenders. Then, it took even longer for our food, three hotdogs and a salad-- last of which to arrive was the salad. The curry bratwurst was just ketchup. Halfway through our stay, it became difficult to hold a conversation because where we were seated, the music was incredibly loud. I hopped up to ask the bartenders to turn it down. It never happened. Upon my exit, I did share this feedback with staff who listened and appeared apologetic, as if to communicate I'm not the first to share this sort of feedback. We were hopeful and excited to check this place out, but we won't be back. read more

Excellent food & cold bottled beer, we had a group of over 30 people. And the Food & drinks were on point.

Was excited to visit as I loved Baker Street and was sad that it closed! The vibe has completely changed. We enjoyed the drinks; however, the food left much to be desired. Staffing seemed unorganized as the waitress admitted she didn't know who was support to be serving our table. What we assume was the shift manager switched her out mid-service and took over, but didn't say much to us and didn't check in. Put the bill on the table and returned it without saying anything. It was awkward to say the least. We would return for drinks, the game, and possible trivia but would sit at the bar. read more
