Great location for tourists and locals. Come during the week for great seats!

Great menu, food, and service. Love this place. Come during the week and it is much easier to walk right in and get a seat by the water.

This was our faaaavorite bar out of all the ones we visited on Sixth Street on a crazy Saturday night in July. This one was different. Sure it was insanely crowded and packed on both stories, but we loved having that open air and space to love around and dance on the rooftop. The music was ON POINT with my personal taste...ranging from electronic pop, alternative to contemporary music, and generally good music to dance to. There were some folks dance battling with one another, and others were just enjoying the drinks and the entire vibe. We had gin and tonic here and we were happy. We'll definitely come back if we're in the area again. Also, if you're into more traditional music and want to stray away from mainstream stuff, there was an awesome band singing covers of classic oldies that we really enjoyed too. Forgot the name of their band, unfortunately!

This is a well-known establishment on the popular Sixth Street. Absolutely adored visiting this place. It's huge! There's a cool bar area and another sort of outdoor patio and an upstairs. Decor is trendy and fun. Drinks are very reasonably priced and the service incredible. I love it when people truly like their jobs and welcome patrons with open arms. Top notch!

I had the opportunity to check out Maggie Mae's earlier this month. SXSWedu held their Closing Party at Maggie Mae's and I attended. So, forewarning, this review is more of what the place is like during a hosted event, and may not represent the usual experience. Maggie Mae's is a large venue space with two levels. When I entered, security scanned by SXSWedu badge and ID'd me to confirm I was of age. They were adamant about that (especially since the party was open bar). On the street-level floor, there was a bar to your right and tables around the floor. First floor was packed. I wanted to check out the musical performance and DJ scheduled, so I went upstairs where the stage and dance floor were. On the second-floor rooftop, there were two bars - a larger one to the right and a smaller one closer to the stage/dance floor. The venue set up a taco/nacho table by the larger bar, where staff served ground beef for tacos and nachos (everything else was self-serve on the table). From the second-floor rooftop, there is an indoor second floor area (which I think is called the Gibson room). In there, the décor is luxe and sleek looking. The bar inside is pretty large, too. The bathrooms are also in this area. The sound on the second floor was good. The area around the stage got really crowded, so I stuck to one of the tables that overlook the street. There were some lounge-y couches, but not many people left their spots on them if they got one. Maggie Mae's was very nice. The bartenders and staff working the event were friendly, polite, and fun. It was a good time. They run events well here.

Such a great spot for drinks and live music! Dj on the balcony.... acoustic downstairs during the early hours. Friendly staff!

Vampire bites California cowgirl at Maggie Maes

Of all the Austin bars I went to on my recent trip I had the most fun at this one. This is my activities as I remember them: $2.00 BEERS upstairs A group of old men wanting me and my friends to go back to their room and PARTAY. (No thanx) A drunk girl trying to dance while being held up by two people $2.00 BEERS The band playing a song by Pearl Jam and my friend Ellen having a orgasm meltdown on the dance floor $2.00 BEERS A group of cowboys from Fort Worth in town for a wedding. One of the cowboys was a vampire and tried to bite my neck. (I may or may not upload a picture of that to my profile and/or Maggie Maes local photos) $2.00 BEERS Thinking the band must be from LA because the majority of their songs were reggae and ska. My friend making out with vampire cowboy $2.00 BEERS Me taking pictures with my neck extended to avoid double chinage. $2.00 BEERS Thinking I was a solid gold dancer after about the 20th $2.00 beer. $3.50 BEER time to leave.

Well it's located on 6th street so the vibe can sometimes be all over the place but when I went it was chill at least on the 1st floor but the rooftop level was a bit more lively with good 90s music and top 40 playing. The drinks are relatively priced decent enough and the bartenders are cool! If in the area this a place to stop at before heading to other bars.

Dustin Lynch surprise appearance
Justine P.

I happen to stop at this bar when IHeartRadio brought 2 surprise guests. Dylan Scott and Dustin Lynch! Great live music. The bartenders are friendly and the space is nice. There is a roof top bar with a bunch of seating during the day. Only complaint is the small women's bathroom on the first floor. Long line and no toilet paper.

Warehouse District, Downtown

Ambiance is super cool, despite being sandwiched between rowdy Lavaca St Bar and all the bars/clubs…read moreon 4th. Looking for a place to watch March Madness and it felt like a humid day packed like sardines in a Boston T car when we walked in and out of Lavaca. We were quite enlightened to walk into The Pub, right around the corner, welcoming us to a cool and dim space with tiled floor, trimmed walls, and embellishments of faux trees. The space wasn't overly packed and a good amount of TVs to feel supported by at least three different sporting events. Even a TV in the men's room (not women's). Service was great! Regular table sweeps. Eric at the bar was very kind and accommodating. What to order? You're in an Irish Sports Bar. A Guinness is a must. The heads were perfect. Pastrami sandwich. You won't be disappointed. And the Burger was actually pretty good too, and unique with touches of arugula and mixed brisket and ground beef meat. Of course, it's always a fun touch to have some special sauce offered. The only thing I noticed that seemed unusual was, not only an automatic tip applied but also, a credit card processing fee added to the bill. Felt a little odd and out of place. Of course, I'm not sure if this is applied with regular service, as we ordered directly from the bar (despite sitting at a high top nearby). Another observation: a lot of people ordered wine and even espresso martinis here. Either they know something I don't, or this place calls to a variety of people. Cheers!

This is a pretty chill sports bar on 6th. We went on a Saturday around 7pm and there was tons of…read morespace. You order at the counter for drinks and food and they bring it out to you. I got the Bangers and Mash and I wouldn't get it again. While the mashed potatoes were nice and creamy, the two sausage was not very tender and a bad texture. I think the food is fine in terms of bar food.

Sad review as may be their last, 1/4 is set to be their last day of being open for business. I…read morealways forgot this place was here, it's super convenient to us but the location was easily forgettable as it wasn't really visible from 79. Ticked away in a little complex without 79 visibility along with a couple of other places that don't seem to get much traffic either. Finally made our first visit so we could try "the best fish & chips" in the Austin area. I was surprised how big it was, they have a patio, a bar area and lots of tables I was shocked as from the outside it looks tiny. Service was fantastic which was shocking with them closing soon. The service was enough to want me to go back hopefully for us in this area they end up somewhere close by as I know how hard it is to find good workers. Pretzels were good! Onion rings were our favorite! Their version of the Philly was just okay, was very plain with not much flavor hubby didn't even finish half. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. My son was over the moon! Couldn't even finish half of it and he wanted to haha. Sad to see they will be closing their doors but hopefully the owner has something else up his sleeve as they were onto something with this place.

Service was good, and the ambiance was fun. Lots of sports on the multiple tv screens. My friend…read moreenjoyed her beef curry, and the portion was so generous that she had leftovers to take home. I ordered the fish and chips. The piece of fish was enormous! It was cooked well, if a little too much breading for my taste. The chips were really good. The tartar sauce was different than I am used to, a little runny and pink tinged, but it was good. The mushy peas were yummy and added an authenticity to the dish. I didn't really use the curry sauce that also came with the dish. To me it doesn't go with fish or chips. I did taste it, and the flavor was great.
