    Cool little neighborhood dive bar. We stopped after a game at q2 yesterday and ordered 2 brentwoods, straight bourbon, and also a "happy meal." Good prices and tasty drinks. I really enjoyed the brentwood and my buddy appreciated his whiskey which was old grandad. Cant go wrong with a happy meal anytime... (lone star and shot of whiskey)

    The bartender was amazing, the place is pretty nice to have a few drinks and hang out. They have a touch tunes so you can play your own music. My husband and I had a great time here. We will most likely stop here and have a few drinks again!

    Local chill spot. Cocktails on point. Dropped in to cool off and it did not disappoint.

    Great neighborhood bar with a pool table. The drinks are cheap for Austin and the bartender and patrons were all very friendly to a stranger like myself who popped in on a Sunday afternoon. The pizza truck out front was great, and the NightOwl allows you to eat it inside while you knock back a cold drink--full service bar, too. Best of all dogs are allowed inside on a hot summer day which pretty much makes this place a new favorite when I'm out with my Aussies and need a cool respite from Austin's continuous 100s summers. The bartender was super nice--that too left a lasting impression of what everyone likes over someone who's tired, cranky, or self-absorbed--really cheery spot.

    They were clearly still working out their new virtual ordering system with the Union app. Maybe it'll go more smoothly in the future. My bee sting cocktail was good, but not $12 good. On the plus side, the PacMan machine was cheap!

    Do they have Miller Lite? I'm assuming so, but I want to make sure before I make the drive.

    Yes, 16oz. tallboy cans, pint glasses of you prefer

    Ok, so I'll start by saying that I am not typically a fan of Irish Pubs but I really enjoyed this…read moreone when a friend proposed we go here after encountering lines at a couple of S 1st options. I'll start by complimenting the staff! Everyone we encountered - bar tender, server both - had a great sense of humor and were a pleasure to engage with. They treated us to a round of shots after we had a few rounds. Generally the vibe of the crowd is very friendly and we made some new friends to hang with part of the evening. I did not have the opportunity to eat anything as we came from dinner BUT I did hear from three separate people that the carrot cake is to die for. Who would have thought?

I went a few weeks ago for my friend's birthday on their back patio, and it was the perfect spot for a chill celebration. The Guinness was fresh (no sad, flat pours here), the fish and chips were thick, crispy, and super satisfying, and the service was more than a-plenty the whole night. It's the kind of place where you can actually relax, hang out, and hear your friends without sacrificing fun vibes. On a nice day, there's honestly nowhere I'd rather be posted up with a pint than Kelly's patio.

    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.

    After thrifting on Saturday, a friend of mine and I landed at BD Riley's Irish Pub at Mueller. OMG…read moreit was so much fun!!! This place is huge with so much character. Traditional Irish artifacts filled the restaurant / bar. B. D. Riley's was celebrating St. Patrick's Day on Saturday, March 14 with live music, Irish food, Guinness, dancers, bagpipes, etc. No cover charge and many families were present (family friendly times). The excitement and enthusiasm was contagious! You could hear the roar of laughter and the occasional Irish call out. It is rare you can have so much clean fun with no fear of violence. We visited for a couple of hours. Highly recommend BD Riley's.

But that is nothing compared to how awful the food is. Growing up and living in Boston I was accustomed to Irish Pubs that took pride in the food they made. Let's be honest - Irish food in general is not very good but the pubs I went to in Boston elevated the fare. If it is in fact true that BD Riley's is run by someone from Boston then he or she should be ashamed of the food they serve. It's like they have a 10 year old cooking the food. If someone from BD Riley's reads this please read this: Do better. Have some pride.
