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.

I've tried their crawfish boil (with corn and potatoes) and root beer! Their food is cooked great,…read morewell seasoned, and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the crawfish and their seating because the crawfish was seasoned perfectly even before I added anything. The outdoor seats provided a great view of the surrounding greenery, road, and shopping plaza. Customer service is good and the space is large. Parking seems easy but I'm not 100% sure since I carpooled there. Overall, I'd recommend!

We've been to Old Gregg a few times now and it's always a great experience…read more Love that they offer more than just beer- they have great cocktails, frozen drinks, seltzers and sodas, which is refreshing for a brewery and perfect for groups with different preferences. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space (outdoor is dog friendly!) and two food options: Yellow Bell Texas Tacos (tasty!!) and Deft Pies with Chicago-style tavern pizzas. Haven't tried the pizza yet but it looks incredible. Great vibe, solid drinks, good food options- so glad Pflugerville has a spot like this!

It would be nice to have some ventilation of air for the non smokers, but it was still a fun time at a local hole in the wall bar. You should go and see for yourself. Parking was not a problem.

There were plenty of drink options to choose from, and the menu definitely caught our attention, which is what brought us in. We started with the nachos with beef. They were pretty good overall, though the Velveeta-style cheese wasn't our favorite. The meat lovers pizza was a hit -- thin crust, well-cooked, and full of flavor. The main reason we came was for the chicken wings, and unfortunately, those were a bit disappointing and left us wanting more. However, the owner personally came over to apologize and explained that those were not the wings they normally serve. He even comped us $10 in cash, which was a very appreciated and classy gesture. The staff was friendly throughout our visit, and because of how the situation was handled, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and plan to come back again to let them redeem themselves.

WHEN: Wed @6pm I…read morejust need to begin this review by highlighting how amazing Ian was to my party. He's mindful, kind, attentive, and gave us such a stellar service! We made reservations here because we were staying here for the week. Our party of 5 adults and 2 toddlers were originally seated at the center of the room, and I asked if we could be moved to the booth where we can feel more close and not so separated. The dining table felt too formal and we like to sit closely...especially with children you'll want a booth. Anyway, point being, the staff was so kind of patient to allow us to move and I hope I wasn't being difficult doing this, but it made all the difference during our time here. A lot of things were ordered, and they even have a set menu for kids for $28: + Fruit with Coconut Yogurt - Kids may be disappointed as it looks like whipped cream but it tastes like tart yogurt. + Entree of either CHicken, Petit Filet, or Grilled Salmon + Dessert - Create your own dirt cup which can be fun for the kids. Here's some of the things I tried: ESPRESSO MARTINI - $18 Sweet and strong, you only need one! As for food, I lost my photos, and I had a taste of variety. I'm so sorry. This is not a thorough review, but all I can say quickly is: + They have complimentary warm bread and butter. + This place will serve the finest and freshest fish because of thier partnership with thier Sushi establishment. So try the ahi tuna. + Filet minion is pretty darn good + Bisque was sweet and creamy. + We were treated with a single portion of Beff Wellington and Cranberry sipping and it was so lovely. + Have I mentioned how amazing the service is? + They validate your parking if you came to park in the lot (this was helpful for friends who didn't stay with us at the resort) You'll have a wonderful time no matter what you order. I can't recommend this place enough during your stay.

Stopped in during a recent business trip…read more First let me say that the decor is very nice, I enjoy the open kitchen and the view and sounds of the chefs preparing each meal. I started my meal with the Seared Scallops, which were perfectly prepared and tasted amazing. The entire plate was a work of art and since I enjoy a well plated meal first, this one hit right on the money. For my main I enjoyed the South Texas Antelope Tenderloin. Any chance I have to sample a local dish I take it and this one delivered massively. I highly recommend trying this dish if you visit. I also had the chance to try the Seared Ahi Tuna, as our mains were taking a bit longer than expected and the chef personally delivered us a couple apology dishes. I appreciate a chef who can acknowledge an issue and do his best to fix it, so this was nice to see. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly and took great care of me and my party. Seeing the chef come out to the table to speak to us was a big deal to me. All in all I was very happy with my visit here and will certainly return if I ever get the chance to stay here again. It is kind of hidden, so you sort of need to go look for it, but it's certainly something you don't want to miss. Highly recommend checking this place out.

My friend works as an engineer at SpaceX, and I've always been curious and wanted to do the tour…read more Unfortunately, they require 72 hours' notice to get approved for a pass. Since it was my last day in town and I was headed to the airport later, we didn't have enough time to arrange it. Instead, he suggested taking me to Boring Bodega, which is located literally across the street from the SpaceX Bastrop Facility, so at least I could snap a few photos from there. I was seriously confused at first because pulling up to Boring Bodega feels a little like stumbling into a pop-up oasis in the middle of rural Texas. This place looks more like the entrance to a country fair than a cafe. Off to the side, a row of food trucks greets you like an informal welcome committee, their colorful signs and picnic tables giving the place a casual, anything-goes vibe. Lol. Then you walk inside... and suddenly it makes sense. Boring Bodega is a unique "future fancy" grocery store and community hub located in the heart of Hyperloop Plaza. Owned by Elon Musk's Boring Company, the place blends like a full-service market with a modern, tech-forward aesthetic. Think Silicon Valley startup energy meets Texas roadside market. Walking aisle to aisle, you realize this place has a little bit of everything going on. One section feels like a boutique grocery market, stocked with high quality snacks, pantry staples, and grab and go foods. Another aisle carries drinks of every kind like sodas, energy drinks, sparkling waters plus a massive beer and wine selection. They even have shelves dedicated to pet food and pet supplies, which makes sense because people seem to hang out here for a while. Toward the back you'll find a his & hers barber shop, which caught me completely off guard in what I initially thought was just a convenience store. There are also spaces designed for community hangouts and games, and outside you'll spot pickleball courts, making it feel less like a store and more like a social hub for the surrounding tech campus. My friend also mentioned something pretty cool. Apparently, there's a tunnel employees can take from inside SpaceX that connects underground to Hyperloop Plaza, so employees there can pop over here without even going outside. Not sure if that's insider privilege or just peak Elon-universe infrastructure, but it definitely adds to the whole futuristic vibe of the place. And yes--they also do made to order sandwiches and light cafe items. Since it was my last day before heading to the airport, my friend and I grabbed a quick lunch here. I ordered the $10 Falafel Veggie Pita and my friend went with the $13 Carne Asada Protein Bowl. The portions were massive and the quality was fresh. Overall, Boring Bodega is one of those places that defies easy categorization. It's part grocery store, part cafe, part hangout, and part tech campus convenience hub all sitting across the street from SpaceX in Bastrop.

My husband and I have stopped by Boring Bodega several times to get snacks for picnics. We went…read morethis Wednesday, and got some yummy snacks, but the vibes were off. Three quarters of the building was dark. The building is already odd enough. It would make sense to convert a warehouse, but to build a new warehouse building in hopes of creating a store and hangout area is strange. My husband thought it was fine, so I guess that's what you get when a man (especially Elon Musk) attempts interior design. I like how they offer unique healthy snacks. However, this time I decided to try food from their hot food counter. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, which is one of my favorite foods. You could add meat to it for an upcharge, but I wanted to see how it was as a pure grilled cheese first. It was underwhelming, but only $6, so I'm not too salty about it. It is basically a panini with just cheese, and the bread to cheese ratio is off. Not enough cheese. However, with meat, as a traditional panini, it would probably be pretty good. I think the bread was sourdough. There was a short wait for the sandwich, which made it almost as convenient as any of the prepackaged snacks.
