Drinks are terrible, I tried the yard and the coffee cocktail and couldn't drink either of them. I could only taste watered down alcohol and honestly, if I just wanted to taste alcohol, I would have just ordered myself a shot and not a cocktail. Do yourself a favor and stick to your beers and basics. Hard pass on the cocktails. The place was pretty busy when I visited yesterday. They had college football on, so all the fun games were put away and more tables were set up for people to sit and watch. They also add automatic 20% gratuity on all their tabs whether the bartender deserved it or not. Maybe that's why all their drinks are under average. The bartenders get paid for making crappy drinks. read more

Came here for a happy hour, not sure I would have ended up here otherwise. Free food and drink always does it. Nice couches to sit on, super comfortable. Really can't find much else that makes this bar stand out from the thousands of other options around town. I guess I'd go here again to see why it's rated 4*. read more

I love Parlor and Yard. On Friday and Saturday nights it can get pretty busy, but there's plenty of seating between the sofas and high tables. They've got a great outdoor area with AstroTurf, ping pong, corn hole, tables and benches, and heaters in the winter. They also have a bar outside, which is good for when the inside bar is packed. On football days, it's a more relaxed vibe, which makes the couches nice, and they have games on the TVs. The food is good too. I had their beer mac and cheese and it was delicious. Big serving. There's also a little area where they have arcade/bar type games. Foosball, shuffleboard, and a weird but surprisingly fun hockey game. read more

I came here for the Iowa vs. Penn State game and I wore an Iowa hat to support my team, I heard it was a Penn State bar so idk if they did it because I was an Iowa fan or because they thought they could get away with it but they charged me $58 for 2 high noons, none of their drink menus are over $10 so idk how they added it up to $58 dollars. Probably won't ever return but they had nice plants. Will be reporting it since there is no way my bill should've been that high, I would have stayed for more drinks but seeing that they overcharged me on 2 drinks i felt like they were taking advantage since I was an Iowa fan. The recite doesn't even show what I ordered so it's not okay. read more

We came in on a Sunday evening hoping to catch multiple NFL games at once, and we got it, and so much more! The staff was super nice, and very quick behind the bar!! They have an awesome patio, and comfortable indoor space with tons of seating options, and in-house games you can borrow. If you're lucky, they have some of the house-infused liquor options available for cocktails, and they also have a great draft beer selection. Brooklyn Pie Co is inside, and very tempting, with good reason! We got an order of fried ravioli to share between two of us, and it took all of our willpower not to order another...or two! They are SUPER dog friendly y'all!! Probably one of the best in all of Austin IMHO. They let the good boys and girls stay inside, and are happy to bring water bowls! One of the bartenders even had her own cookies to share with our pup. We'll definitely be back again, and again!! read more

Great outdoor setting with misters, after 6:30 in the summer the other buildings provide shade. Bartenders are nice and knowledgeable and actually watch for new customers. Saw Raphina Austin band there and loved them, hope to see her again! Definitely a new favorite! read more

Went to parlor for a nice night out with some co-workers after hearing so many good things about this place but instead was encountered with a horrible staff member that seemed like a bad fit for this rad place! Her name was Miranda and she seemed to be out of it the whole time. It seemed as if she was drunk. Whenever she would speak, she would slur her words and not understand what any of us would tell her to top it off she was being extremely offensive when speaking to us and other customers. This is not good representation for such a cool bar like this. Will remove my review if action is taken. read more

I ordered one beer at the bar and opened a tab. I left without closing out and the next day saw that I was charged $52. Cool place, but shady workers. read more

Awesome place for football or having a few drinks on the patio (equipped with lawn games). It was also a plus that is was a Buffalo Bills bar so we had somewhere to watch the game while on vacation. Pizza, wings, and Bloody Mary's were delicious. read more

Pretty decent bar with a large trendy inside that makes you feel right at home and a large Yard that you can watch games at or bring your dog. This place is packed for Ut/Penn state games on saturdays and their inside AC doesn't work as well as i would like. However they have some good drink deals and the crowd isn't ridiculously rowdy so a good time overall. read more

Parlor & Yard, yes! You rock. Inside is vintage swanky and comfortable... Head outside and you'll find a great outdoor space with a bar and a bags game, ping pong and a view of W. 6th. We stopped by at 5:30 on a Thursday and there were tables available outside and room for a game, but I can imagine it might get tight on a Friday or Saturday night. I had The Miracle, which was reminiscent of a margarita but tastier. read more

I have been to Parlor and Yard a few times and like the design of the space, but I will never return after the staff were uniquely and astonishingly rude during my last visit. There are dozens of very similar Austin bars, so I look forward to taking my business and friends elsewhere. We were hanging out in the outdoor area at a time when the bar was nearly empty. They turned the music on at an extremely high volume, and we all immediately agreed it was uncomfortably loud. As virtually the only patrons outside, we politely asked the bartenders to turn the music down. One bartender responded so obnoxiously we could not believe it, literally telling us to get lost and conveying an attitude of total disrespect for some of the only customers there. Two other staff members there just laughed. The rude bartender introduced himself as Sean and claimed to be the owner, which evidently (and not so surprisingly) is a blatant lie. No actual business owner would tolerate customers being treated that way. read more

I've been here before for a night out but came back because it's a Buffalo Bills backer bar. Man does this place fill up on Sunday's for a bills game. They have Brooklyn pie co and labbats for those of you buffalonians. Tips: hard to find parking as there are a ton of backer bars on west 6th and the bar fills up FAST so get there early for a good seat. read more

First time in Austin for a no kids weekend from houston with my husband. Of course in Austin, we had to check out 6th street. The hotel was only about 1 mile from 6th street so we drove around to see where the spot was. We drove by this place and heard great music so we decided to go there. We had so much fun other than the fact the weather dropped from 80s to like 60s the day we went compare from the night before. Loved the music and loved the people are there. Super friendly..which is not like that in Houston. Would definitely recommend this place and will go back. If we didn't have kids, we would totally move there. Loved how everyone is so chill and laid back and friendly. read more

Drinks are watered down and not strong at all. Girl bartenders are always in bad mood/very rude for no reason. Young, hispanic male bouncer was extremely rude to my friends and I. I guess he thought we were underaged, but we are all over 21. He had an unnecessary attitude and kept rolling his eyes? I guess all of this is due to poor management. Only good thing is the pizza. Every time I have been here, my girlfriends and I have been mistreated. However, my boyfriend experiences the best treatment, so maybe a little sexist. read more

Stopped in for a drink on our way home. Had a Miller light 12 ounce can and a pint of IPA. The beer was 6 dollars and $7. 13 dollars total. The bartender charged me $17. When I asked the second bartender how much the beers were he told me six and seven dollars which is 13 and I asked him why the other bartender charge me 17. He told me they automatically add 20%. Well 20% is $2.60. So basically the bartender is a thief he charged us 40% gratuity automatically without asking for a 12 ounce Miller light and a pint of beer. Do not visit this bar. Scam bartenders read more

This place would be fine if the music wasn't so damn loud. No need to deafen your customers especially in the middle of the afternoon. It's not a night club. read more

This is the ideal spot to goof around with friends on a sunny weekend. Alas, I was by myself and nerdily nursed a rather good whiskey cocktail with a book inside while happy groups grabbed beers or $3 mimosas and headed through the arcade to the outside patio. There are games inside too, but the weather was too tempting. They have big screens and play cool music inside, so I can imagine this is a good spot to watch a game or hang out at night as well. I was intrigued by their $20 AYCE brunch, but didn't see any sign of it when I was there one Sunday. If it's not a myth, then protip: they have $20 AYCE brunch. read more

Yard and Parlor is as comfortable as your living room, with it's sectional seating and big comfy leather couches, and a selection of board games on the spacious coffee tables. If you venture off to the side room you'll find vintage pin ball machines and foosball, and in the spacious backyard is even more entertainment: corn hole, shuffle board and ping pong. I was pleased with their craft beer selection and even more happy to find they had the delicious St. Arnold Pumkinator! read more

Came here for happy hour with my co-workers on a Tuesday. Got there around 5. It wasn't too busy yet and there was one bartender behind the bar, Tony. Well tony can make a mean drink for sure! Had the Saint Sabbatical and might I say it was tasty. The atmosphere is relaxing with couches and soft chairs. And when I say soft I mean when you sit in them you sink into them. The only think that I felt was a bit of an issue is the music was way to loud for how many people were in the bar. We actually asked him to turn it down at one point as we were having a hard to time having conversations without yelling at one another. Tony did so, but as the crowd started to come in the music went back up. I give this place a 4 star as Tony was a really good bartender. The prices are what you would expect for downtown so nothing new there. I would go again for happy hour. read more

My rare visit to West 6th landed me smack dab in the middle of the astroturf patio at Parlor and Yard. While there weren't many patrons, there were tons of outdoor style games to keep boredom at bay. Cornhole, foosball, a bizarre version of shuffleboard, and that game with the hook and metal ring were all amongst the arcade of bar games. I didn't play any, but if it's not crowded, it would be a fun way to spend an afternoon. The drinks were pretty cheap on a Monday night. I bought around 5 beers and my tab ended up being $16 before tip. I'll take that for the neighborhood. The bartenders were friendly and not uptight - just the way I like them. While I miss Arro, Parlor and Yard is a cool concept and the quintessential summer sports bar. read more

I had seen this new opening highlighted in Culture Map and thought I would try it out about 4:30 PM There were a couple being served at the bar and a group of four waiting before me at the bar. The bartender seemed to be more interested in talking with the couple (understandable for a new opening). Some other customers came in and the bartender decided they were more important than the one's already waiting. After about ten minutes, the first four were served and proceeded to close there tabs. However, the bartender did acknowledge my presence. The tabs were signed and then the bartender went off to serve other newly arrived customers. After 20 minutes I decided to leave. Either the bartender is blind or I am invisible, maybe he is just incompetent. I will have no problem telling my friends and acquaintances how much this place sucks. Look forward to this place closing, anything else would be better. read more

Really interesting vibe, kinda like a frat party that seems out of place on West 6th and definitley out of place given that the place used to be a French restaurant. The people watching and the patio are the highlights. Beyond that, I would go elsewhere. read more

This place was cool. We're visiting from San Antonio and decided to stop by. The bartenders were very welcoming. They had some infusions such as the pineapple kettle one that sounded pretty good. The set up of the lounge area was really nice. The only problem with this place was a regular who was drunk and acting belligerently telling us he owned the bar and Austin was his territory and we need to leave. I told him to leave me alone and he asked "do you know who I am?". I don't, I don't care and I won't be back. read more

Great atmosphere, great music and even better service. The bartenders are fun and they have a great open floor plan with an outdoor option for large groups. Great for Sunday funday! Try the crash kit! You can't go wrong. read more

This is a neat place on W 6th. parking sucks. the décor is clean and rustic but the yard is fun and exciting. great for large groups. i suggest eating before you arrive. drinking and playing on empty stomach not good. i will come back. they have a few events at this location, so keep up read more

DO Not go here for Kentucky Derby or cinco de mayo. They advertise the Kentucky Derby, but they really don't do anything special for the derby. The Mint Juleps were HORRIBLE. They also did not set up anything for cinco de mayo. Nothing like they advertised. Don't put out an ad for an event if you can't follow thorough. It's just another bar of many- same as rest of West 6th. Now any other weekend- it's typical get drunk 20's crowd. Very busy. Good outdoor patio. May 2018. Oh and drinks suck. Not that good- best to order beer read more

I like this place quite a bit. The staff is excellent and atmosphere great. The inside space is really comfortable, and is a good combination of upscale swank and down to earth sports bar. 5 stars. read more

In town for ACL and needed to watch the Bills play the Texans on Sunday, buffalo being my team. Had an absolute blast at Parlor and Yard. Total Bills Backers, game on with sound, labatt's blue, friendly bar staff, nice atmosphere in general. Tony is a good dude. They enjoy a good time there and I did too. read more

Beware! If you open a tab be sure to close out. My friend ordered one beer and was charged $52 :(

Refreshing twist on West 6th. If you're looking to get away from the ego's on west 6th, drunkery on main 6th, crackheads in warehouse district, dirtiness on east 6th, and clusterfuckness on rainey, other than staying home and not peopling whatsoever... I'd suggest this laid back atmosphere. I can be the obnoxious, lazy person, who orders whatever the bartender feels like making. Rick, took his time and made me a lightly spicy jalapeno/touch of sweet bubbly drink. Yum. read more

My friends and I came here... and it was over capacity. We waited on the curb with groups of 10+ drunk sorority girls / fraternity boys trying to cut us every three minutes, literally. THEN, we are at the front after waiting patiently, and the bouncer w/ a mohawk yells at us that we are kindergartners and smushes us like sardines on the sidewalk... Anyways, we are finally at the front after 30 minutes of waiting, and that same bouncer seems to be getting some sort of power trip. More specifically, he's calling out to the line "who's next!?!?" when we are clearly at the front of the line (???), abs basically it seems like he'd let in whoever would kiss up to him the most. We let him know that we are next in line, and he says, "fine. If y'all are gonna argue, I'm going back inside," and leaves us out there for another five minutes in 45 degree weather? Then, he FINALLY lets us in and touches my lower back as I walk in? Totally inappropriate. And then we get drinks and I get a vodka soda and a shot of vodka (Tito's), and my total comes out to $20. I am an experienced vodka drinker, and it was 100% diluted with water. This place may have been overwhelmed. It seemed cool, but I feel really let down. read more

Rude ....didn't tell us the kitchen was closed until after being seated and they also depend solely on the app you have to download drink and food via their app ....discomforting environment read more

This is not going to be a classy joint, but it is a good bar. Strong drinks (especially their 'Old Fashion') but what really sets it aside is that Hot Mess chicken makes the absolute best hamburger anywhere.. period. Order th HTM.. and have at it.. fries are also good, but you may want the plan fries without the flavoring. read more

I was visiting Austin for a week and stopped by Parlor and Yard for drinks twice. This is the type of place I wish I could find in the Bay Area - good drinks, friendly staff, nice indoor ambiance, and large/clean outdoor patio area with live entertainment. read more

Great music & good vibes. The patio area is a good setup for nice weather to hangout there the majority of the time. DJ is really good as well. read more

The worst experience I've ever had. I never write bad reviews so that's how bad it was. The food, drinks and service was absolutely terrible. It was also extremely filthy and management couldn't care less. I highly recommend avoiding this place. Instead, I recommend the Star Bar across the street. Very good food and drinks, clean, and excellent service. Management at Parlor and Yard should take note. That's how a real bar should be ran. This place is a joke. read more
