Literally one of my freaking favorite spots to go to for lunch since I work nearby, I always get the fried chicken Caesar wrap and it's soooooo freaking good. It's super crunchy but juicy on the inside and the dressing is lemony and delicious and plentiful. U know it's a good wrap when you don't need to ask for extra dressing tbh. The service is super quick and the people are really nice. I also like that it's half inside half outside so you can kinda decide what vibe you want. Definitely recommend if you're looking for lunch around east 6th, they have a pretty large menu and have fun drinks as well I've heard! read more

Got the chicken Caesar wrap. It's fine. Caesar dressing needs acid really bad but it's not like it's gross or anything. Bartender was friendly. Food came out fast. Place is cute, super open and airy. read more

Lefty's Day and Night - Chicken Caesar wrap - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

i ordered the cesar wrap and the fries. cesar wrap was poorly wrapped (fell apart in the hand), poorly packed (contents were loose), and contained very little chicken. it was pretty bland. the cesar dressing was served in the side instead of mixed into the wrap which made it dry and bland. the fries were seasoned too generously, i couldn't stomach more than a couple without grimacing from all the salt. overall a disappointing meal. i would expect more given the high standards and pleasant experiences i have with the attached hotel. i liked this place better when it lefty's brick bar. read more

Asked for a Hugo spritz since it's HOT AF & not feeling an aperol drink. It was an uphill battle for the bartender. literally everything in the drink (Elderflower liqueur, prosecco, club soda) she said they didn't have. Everything was right there - prosecco right behind her (bc they literally make an aperol spritzes), St Germaine, you name it. I felt bad for her bc she was clearly stressed with what i thought was a basic order so i watered my order down to an St Germaine and club soda. she was nice enough but they should def train folks on these kinds of basic drinks. read more

Previously visited for holiday drinks and decided to give the food a try! Ordered online and took less than 15 mins! There is a parking garage right next door or street parking. Opted to use the garage ($3 for every 20 mins) instead of circling around. The harvest bowl ($10) is really a Kale salad. Was expecting the sweet potatoes to be the base instead of a topping. I'm neutral when it comes to kale and was expecting more potato, but this was really good and enjoyed it! Moving onto the $7 latte. While good, very overpriced for what is probably 8 oz without the ice. Overall, solid food options, but maybe skip the coffee! read more

They had a "summer special" that was a frozen marg and a beer for $12. We ordered those and were told the machine is down but they can make a marg on the rocks. We decide on a $10 boiler maker and a painkiller on the rocks which we were told is $12 too. The bartender hands us the tab and it's $37 for what should be $22.00. We point out the discrepancy and are given a laundry list of reasons....they fix the tab but the experience was all we needed to have. Last time for Lefty's....good luck with that nonsense. read more

Visited 3 times in as many days while staying in adjacent hotel (Arrive Austin), mostly for breakfast. Ham, egg and crispy potato bowl was killer every time. Subbed ham w/bacon once, not as good. Nice place to hang and watch FIFA or whatever. Comfy patio w/lots of fans, clean restrooms, and fresh water dispenser. Decent service. read more

If you're wandering around East Austin and looking for that perfect mix of chill patio vibes, strong drinks, and a little bit of grit, Lefty's Brick Bar is it. The space itself feels like someone mashed up a cozy dive bar with a backyard hangout -- brick walls, string lights, and an atmosphere that's both unpretentious and inviting. It's the kind of place where you can show up in flip flops or boots and no one bats an eye. The cocktails? Surprisingly solid for a bar that doesn't take itself too seriously. The margaritas come out fast and strong, and they've got frozen options that hit perfectly on a hot Austin night. Beers are cheap, the pours are generous, and the staff keeps the vibe friendly even when it's packed. Food-wise, it's not fussy -- think bar bites that keep you drinking longer. Perfect for sharing if you're posted up outside with friends. Overall: Lefty's Brick Bar feels like Austin before Austin got too shiny. No frills, all fun, and exactly the kind of place you'll want to stumble back into on a Friday night. Ask for Noah! read more

Pretty chill for a "hotel bar". Had my only two orders screwed up, and the rest of the service wasn't much to wag about, but aside from that it's got a good vibe and lots of seating. The food is *okay*. read more

This review is solely based on vibes and cocktails. We visited a couple times this winter. The Christmas pop up bar was my favorite visit. The bar was chock full of decorations and holiday cocktails. We ordered several from the menu and they were all tasty and came in cute glasses. I'm glad they didn't skimp on the alcohol or aesthetic because they were very busy. The bar in the front was way busier than the bar in the back upstairs. The upstairs was also covered with a tent because it was rainy and cool. We really enjoyed our time here and got some fun pictures! There is ample seating for groups. read more

Okay so no I did not take a picture or if I did I must have deleted it. I was soooo excited about the hype of a great wrap!! Trying something trendy I thought would be fun. Well first walked in it looked like it was about to be cool they were having a DJ outside and hosting some event. Well walked up to the bar first the bartender ignored us! Like both of them not just one. No one besides us at the bar ready to order. Then one of them finally came over did she not help you we said no she rolled her eyes then decided to help us. I got the wrap and 2 beers and last minute asked to add an order of fried. Well the wrap came out and I must have got the end of the chicken. It was hard and I had to pull it out of my mouth because there was no biting through it. The taste and the tortilla lettuce and dressing were great. Well then I was waiting forever for my fries. The girl forgot to ring them in! I did keep my tab open so had no gotten the receipt but it really was not busy because the party had not started and they were still setting up and doing sound check. NO ONE WAS THERE. Well when I went up there to say they forgot my fries she looked at me and said I did not order it. Which is fine but instead could have said OMG i must have not heard you let me get that to you. I was not looking for free food just wanted fried because I could not eat the wrap and was scared to order anything else. Well anyways it was a bad vibe there due to the staff which sucks because I like the outdoorsy indoor thing. After me and my friends left went to another bar and stayed the rest of the day there saying that we prob won't go back there because the bartenders just did not help with a weekend vibe. read more

Went during October to check out their decorations and it was definitely a fun ambiance! Got their themed cocktails and some food that was all really good but definitely a little overpriced. But it's on 6th so that was to be expected. Not crowded at all and quick service at 7 pm before the night rush. read more

They should specify a $75 hold will be put on my card when starting a tab. I spent $8 on one drink and it's still pending in my account after 2 days. read more

Lefty's is amazinggg for Halloween and they always go all out! Checked out their "shop of horrors" theme this year for Halloween and wasn't disappointed. They had a great drink menu (NA options too!), that tied in well to the theme. They also had some food options here, but recommend the drinks more. We tried a variety, from their version of an espresso martini and even their brat-themed cocktail. Old fashioned was okay, it was too sweet for my liking. They have a lot of seating (bar included), and an outdoor patio out back. Great for hanging with friends. Bartenders were super nice, and answered our questions about the drinks on the menu. read more

I really enjoy this bar in October because they deck out with spooky decorations. The music is great and the people that go there are fun. For October they have fun cocktails and I was finally able to try the blood bag one. It was ok. Overly sweet for me but the concept is what made it fun. Theres seating tables and an upstairs area i had never been to before. The only bad thing i will say is they need to get more bartenders because it was packed and took forever to get a drink. read more

Came by Halloween weekend - it was decorated, people were dressed up, and there were Halloween themed cocktails. Most of them had some kind of acid which gives me gastritis, but I tried one that looked less acidic. It came in a cool skull glass and looked nice, but it my friend and I couldn't finish our drinks as there was so much acid/lime and was unbalanced. read more

Came to Lefty's to check out their Halloween decorations this year. I feel like it was really on point last year compared to this year. But still pretty outstanding. Didn't want to look like a tourist snapping a bunch of pictures. I just took a couple. Everyone was really nice that I spoken to. Drink was good. Didn't stay long cause we were just going from one bar to the next that was decorated. Good job Lefty's. Looked pretty good. read more

We popped in here while in the area as we were a bit early for a private event at Lazarus down the street. I'm so glad we did because I really loved this spot. It was all decorated for Halloween, with tons of creepy decor absolutely everywhere! I ordered a frozen painkiller and Nate got a canned beer. The painkiller was delicious and perfectly frozen - Austin knows how to make a great frozen cocktail. We had fun people and dog watching and chatting with some other folks at the bar. The bartenders were great, and overall I just felt like this place was super fun and cool. I appreciated that it wasn't super packed yet as I would imagine they get pretty busy on weekends and later at night. I see now they have some delicious sounding food, including cacio e pepe pizza, which I would LOVE to try. I'm bummed we didn't get any food, but that just gives us a reason to come back in the future. read more

Lefty's had such a cool vibe. It's in the heart of 6th which is a tourist haven. But let me tell you this, it's a great place for locals too. It's always so relaxing even when they're busy. I love the bar decor and especially the patio as well as the upper level outdoor seating. They offer all sorts of yummy cocktails and food too. Nothing beats open-air hangs. read more

We really enjoyed stopping by Lefty's for their holiday decor recently. Christmas decor was awesome and great drink list-loved the vegan nog. It's very crowded and a young crowd (everyone looked 25 or under) even when we went around 5 pm. I thought it was very fun and recommend checking it out for the holidays! read more

We had not yet gotten to Lefty's Christmas time so we headed out this year. We have been to Lala's and Miracle on 5th Street and wanted to check this one out. They go out all on the décor, there is Christmas themed stuff EVERYWHERE. From all sorts of Santa's and Christmas trees with presents to themed drinks. Even outside they have a wacky waving inflatable Santa and giant Christmas lights. Inside are tree ornaments hanging from the ceiling, lots of inflatables and pictures. There is a Santa throne and a mailbox for Santa letters. They do an amazing job with this. The bar is right there as you enter, lots of seating to the right of the bar and a smaller area to the left. 100% on the effort. We arrived not long after it had opened for the day, so early afternoon and there were already several people there. They had a small but growing line at the bar and the gentleman behind the bar was working hard but they only had one guy. My wife did walk around a bit while I waited in line to see the other decorations and when she came back the man said there was a bar upstairs. She hadn't seen any stairs so we went hunting as the bar line here wasn't moving much. We did find them and upstairs had lots more décor and seating. No one in line up here and the bartender was mostly friendly, she was glad people found the upstairs bar as most people don't realize there was a bar upstairs she said. Now a few things that were an issue. When we were searching for the stairs we did see they had a table with a water dispenser and cups on it. Upstairs they didn't have that, we saw a table that looked like it was the place for water but it was empty. The upstairs bar doesn't have water for sale, not sure about downstairs and no dispenser for water or soda's. So also no mixed drinks besides what they have on the menu. To be fair they did say this is because everything is fresh which is a great selling point but it is Texas, have water in some form, to sell or like they had downstairs. Seems more then reasonable. They did have bathrooms upstairs which was nice. The drinks are well made and strong but it is pricey so be prepared. We had one drink a piece and our tab was over $40. This included tip but still close to $30 without the tip. The bartender did seem to get annoyed at the questions people were asking but the downstairs guys where we go a shot as we were leaving were cool. Overall glad we came, may not return due to price and limited water and mixed drink options if they are not ones listed, no basics like jack and coke or Makers and 7. Still going at least once is worth it for the effort put in to the décor and the themed drinks. read more

Really cool bar located in East Austin! I have come here a few times over the years, but they are changing things up and have some really great food options. I tried the cheeseburger. I am not sure if it's always been on the menu, but it was incredible. Would definitely come back again for just this. We also had a mixture of different drinks from cocktails to beers and all were great. The margarita was not sugary and done very well. The service was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. Would recommend checking this place out and grabbing some bites and a drink if in the area read more

I recently wandered into Lefty's Brick Bar, and what a spine-tingling experience it was! From the moment I stepped onto the patio, I felt the enchanting chill of Halloween in the air. The ambiance was decked out with flickering lights and cobwebs that set the perfect spooky scene. But the real star of the night? The Super Big Pizza! It arrived at my table like a monstrous apparition--larger than life and steaming with ghostly allure. Topped with an array of hauntingly delicious ingredients, each slice was a delightful mix of flavors that left me howling for more. I swear I heard the pizza calling my name as it emerged from the kitchen! As I savored each bite, I couldn't help but glance around, half-expecting to see some friendly spirits joining in on the fun. The staff, dressed in their Halloween finest, added to the festive atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a monstrous pizza and chilling cocktails such as Morgue-arita 14 Blanco tequila, lime, coconut water, or the Pennywise painkiller 14 rum, pineapple, orange, coconut, nutmeg, Lefty's Brick Bar is the spot! Just be prepared for some ghostly encounters while you're there--because with vibes this good, you might just feel the presence of some spirited patrons from the past! Brilliant Dining and BOO! read more

This place has pretty slow service on the weekends. And the bartender was not good at keeping track of the queuing order. I hinted at it and she could care less. It took 40 minutes to get one drink! The food was okay, we ordered a whole al pastor pizza which is a decent size. The flavors were good but the pizza was a bit overly greasy. read more

The star is for the Christmas decor, which is awesome... and a nice security guy was helpful (told us where to go eat) too... Service, however, terrible impression especially if you're trying to get into the spirit ... I know this time of year can be annoying but it can also be slow; so when people come to give you their holiday money, be great... Years in the industry myself, I've had great experiences making a bunch of making off generous people but this was the opposite of our experience here tonight ...didn't even make it to the food unfortunately, when the bartender poured Wycliff, after asking for Prosecco... at least tell me what you have before pouring a small glass of crap Brut. Used to love this side of town but ... as Austin goes , here we are ... Decor was great, lots of security but service was rude and unhelpful. read more

Came here for the Christmas pop up and felt like I was at a 21+ North Pole! The gingerbread piña colada was SO GOOD. The bartender (forgot her name) was also super sweet.

Came on a Friday around 4 with my pups and it was pretty dead. It's mostly outdoors so it was great that they had heaters available. The bartender was nice, but the kitchen was a bit slow... or maybe I was just really hungry. It took them about 15 minutes to let me know the pizza I wanted wasn't available (they ran out of something). I ended up with the meat lovers, which was good, just a tad salty. Wings were pretty good! Not sure if I was supposed to ask for ranch, but it didn't come with any. Like I said, I was super hungry so it didn't matter too much. Decent beer selection on draft. I got a seasonal cocktail, pumpkin old fashioned. That was pretty good, not too sweet. Would come back for drinks and chilling. read more

I stopped by to join friends for Lefty's first Latin Night event and it was a pleasant experience. This spot has a spacious outdoor area and semi private sections that can accommodate just about any guests' preferences. The servers were very nice and the drinks were delicious.

The DJ was great and our group had a blast dancing - pretty fun vibe for a Monday night. Overall solid spot - looking forward to coming back soon. read more

We went here a few days ago because we had heard they decorated for Halloween. Honestly I had never even heard of it before. I am definitely glad we went. It was a chill bar with a lot of open space in the back. The Halloween decorations were cute. There were areas where you could take fun Halloween pictures. The drinks were themed which is a great idea for Halloween. Also the food was good, I got a cheese pizza and also some fries. Our friends got some fried pickles I think. They were really good. Service was nice but the line was a little long. They did have vegetarian options which was cool. All in all, I would totally come here again. I wonder if they will do a Christmas theme next! read more

Came across this fine establishment on whim. Was walking with my husband & dog when I thought I'd top my beautiful Saturday afternoon popping in at a local watering hole. I hit the jackpot with a Picklelada: Best Maid Pickle Beer & their house-made michelada mix. If you aren't into beer or pickles this ain't the one for you. For my beer & pickle lovers it gets better.. the salted rim is made up of ranch seasoning of some sort, the flavors all mix in oh so nicely. Very cool & casual, open air bar concept & dog friendly. Coming back very soon. read more
