Very nice selection of cocktails. It's a cozy little place and there is a patio near the busy street. Great service.

Been here a handful of times for past 8 years. Came last night and it's still just as good as my first experience. Small dive bar with phenomenal drinks, service, atmosphere, and prices. Drinks: Old fashion on tap: 7.5/10 - seems this batch was stronger than the past. It had me tipsy off of just one. For $8 can't complain Hot toddy: 10/10 - the flavor, the cute cup and presentation, the temperate - all perfection. Hot cider: 9/10 - nearly perfect, it just needed a hair less cinnamon and it would have been a 10 Bad hatter specialty drink: 9/10 - flavors were unique. Very boozy but not taste wise. If you're a whiskey lover, try this! Inside was exceptionally warm on a cold night. Almost too hot, had to step outside to get some air. Our bartender was very polite. Glad to see this spot is still as good as I remember it to be.

My friends and I LOVE Long Play! Happy Hour from 4-7 with great prices and music. We call it "the cat bar" because there are always neighborhood cats running around, which is so cute and they're clearly well taken care of by Long Play which I appreciate. Vibes are always perfect - they even decorate for holidays. Limited indoor seating but they put heaters out when it gets cold. I've yet to try the food truck but bet it's great. Definitely one of my favorite spots!!

I've been here on a date, ended the evening here after a bar crawl, and been to happy hour (4:00 - 7:00p.m. with some girlfriends and each time was a great time; a very local and lowkey spot so come here if you're looking for a calm and cool spot to grab a drink! Inside is a dim, speakeasy vibe and there's a patio with lights outside.

Spicy Margarita on point!

This is truly a hidden gem bar. For chill and relaxing vibes, it's the spot to go. They play some great music that instantly boosts your mood too. It's all on vinyl! Service is pretty quick since this is a bar, but you can find Paprika in their parking lot serving fresh tacos. Not sure what else they had but everything was sizzling. It's a smaller bar but they do have a patio, and are dog-friendly. There's not much parking in their lot so you will probably have to circle around or find some at the apartment/food complex across the street.

This place is a vibe. Great music, great cocktails, and super reasonable prices. We will be back soon!

Drinks are interesting, food could be a LOT better! I find the record/vinilo aspect of it endearing but not practical.

The service went quick for the long line due to multiple registers. I had the smash burger and my partner had the pizza. The burger and fries was real good. Skinny fries which are my favorite. The pizza was bigger than I anticipated and my partner loved it and we took some home. The crust is real thin if that's your style. The beer and cider menu is large. My partner had a cider and I had the house made black tea. Both were delicious. We closed out the tab and had a great night.

The taproom is large and spacious and the the way they arrange their light and decor on the walls is creative and fun. The beer here was pretty good! I got s beer type I have had before but not one I can find often which is a historical beer which is a Pre-Prohibition Lager which means it's based on a beer recipe that was used before Prohibition. These lagers are nice and light and this one was too. The specific name for this beer is Hittin' Dingers. The flavor features in this beer is bitterness, sweetness, malty and floral. The blending of all these flavors come together in a nice, seamless layout on the tongue. The beer is nice and smooth in body too. I'm glad we made it here also and exploring breweries that are new to us is always a highlight to our trips.

Gonna get busted at Busty's…read more This is my favorite dive bar in Austin. This place has personality and charm oozing out the wazoo. You can already tell this place has got character and kitsch to spare. The interior design has an old 70s biker bar with pool tables galore. When you go outside, there are so many artifacts of old on display making the ambience much more immersive. As for the food, I got the chicago dog and onion petals and my friends got various other dishes that we all shard. Perfect bar food. It's bar food so you just gotta expect bar food. But it was all still really good. The fries and petals were seasoned really well and I also got an espresso martini which was heavenly. I wish it had the bean though. The hot dog really got me correct.

My boyfriend and I have been regulars here for the past year, coming in every 1-2 weeks, spending…read more$50-$100 per visit, and always tipping 20%. Last week, I tried the Mezquito. The drink was good, but the tab felt high. I had watched two bartenders pour a strict 1 oz of Mezcal Union, so I asked the bartender today how much the drink cost. She told me $13. When I noted that felt a bit steep for a 1 oz pour, she shut down and said she didn't set the prices. Later, I was chatting with my boyfriend about how neither Busty's nor Frazier's list drink prices on their menus. The customer sitting next to me jumped into my conversation and said she was just saying the same. I mentioned the Mezquito was $13 for a 1 oz pour. The bartender overheard, looked annoyed, and snapped, "It's actually 1.5 oz." I am unsure why she did not say this earlier when I had first asked. I later tried to smooth things over, suggesting that maybe a newer bartender had just under-poured last week by mistake, adding that 1.5 oz was completely reasonable for the price. Instead of de-escalating, she told me I was cut off because she "didn't appreciate" me talking about the prices to other guests. I am writing this review right after leaving and I think it's clear that I'm not drunk. I have never seen a guest treated so poorly--let alone a regular--simply for discussing menu prices. It's an incredibly poor way to handle a situation. Regulars are the lifeblood of neighborhood bars, but the brunette bartender with the wavy hair just ensured Busty's lost two of theirs.

They have ordering via the QR code and was a bit sad when the espresso martini wasn't available to order. Soooo got the pumpkin pecan latte and a slice of banana bread. After the order was placed a gentleman stopped by to ask how things were to which I inquired about the espresso martini. They were able to make it and they weren't sure why the QR code showed it as unavailable. Latte was delicious and just the right temp, banana bread may have been better to order during the day as it was a tad dry on the outside but good inside. Not sure if they have the option to warm up as well which would have made it amazing. Espresso martini was also solid. Not too sweet, could taste the coffee and the foam was light and airy. I'd go back to have other things especially their pastries. Parking was a bit tough due to the shared parking lot and limited spaces right near the restaurant.

Pocha is the real deal! It's like sitting in a cool pub in the center of Seoul…read more I have to give a shoutout to our amazing server, Ted. He's the bees knees. One of the nicest people on the planet. In addition, he is fantastic at his job. In fact, everyone working here is! Love the kitschy Korean pub meets Texas decor. So welcoming and fun. The food is the most authentic I've had in Austin. A restaurant actually owned and operated by Koreans vs a lot of places locally that aren't. I can't say enough good things about the food. My boyfriend and I shared a meal which included sharing a Terra beer. We also had pickled cucumbers, rice, Korean bbq (bulgogi), and fried dumplings with chicken filling. More than enough food for two people. The dumplings came in an order of ten! Needless to say we came home with leftovers. The dumplings were perfectly fried with the right amount of crisp and a wonderfully cooked and full of flavor filling. The rice was well cooked. The pickled cucumbers were fragrant with a good crunch. The bulgogi was brilliant. Juicy and tender pieces of beef marinated with the best spices. The whole meal was simply incredible. Our heads were spinning with delight, bite after bite.

Popped in here with some friends and it was a pretty good time…read more The servers are very nice, and we felt very welcomed here! It was my first time trying jellyfish and I surprisingly enjoying it. It was really mustard-ey but refreshing at the same time. LA Galbi was very solid and went well with beer (big Terra). I was not a huge fan of chicken because I expected it to be spicy but it was more sweet than anything. I asked server for the spiciest one they had. We also had a "picky eater" in the group and there were options for her as well which is a huge plus! A fun note: the guys sitting at the table next to use were eavesdropping way too shamelessly but it was funny more than anything.

Met up with a friend for drinks at Foxtail…read more There is a free parking garage on the weekends. Which we love, am I right? Street parking is available too. Outside seating is available, just a couple tables. And it's basically like on a sidewalk overlooking a little faux grassy area. I saw some kids running around and playing. Inside is like a cozy intimate bar area. Highly recommend reservations. We were able to grab comfy chairs with an end table and center table. Do played some chill music. It wasn't loud, so you can have a conversation. Just a light soothing music in the background. Love the art on the walls. It was actually a little movie on loop that played Austin iconic places. Jo's coffee shop on Congress St. for example. I ordered a drink first. Then later ordered these amazing garlic parm friends. The Saint Berry drink was sweet and delicious. I ended up ordering 2. Service was friendly and nice. She had checked in on us a couple times. Would love to go back again. I feel like Mama Betty's next door are like sister restaurants. My bill said Mama Betty's and not Foxtail. So they must be a 2 in 1 restaurant.
