Came here Sunday night to try the $7 fish and chips deal. I'm a sucker for cheap and good fish and chips so I was excited. This was my first time coming here even though I live just down the street. It was a pretty cute and cozy bar with a homey vibe. Would be a great place for a date or to unwind after work. All the workers were super nice and chill too. On to the food. It was fine. Not that spectacular or anything. The fries were pretty salty and over-seasoned but the fish was good and fried well despite there only being one piece. I'm not docking too many points though because it was only $7. I'd say it's worth the $7 but the next time I come here, it would probably just be for a date and their drinks.

I had my birthday meal at this location and not gonna lie .. it confused me a bit because they share a lot with a Mexican cuisine restaurant so I went in there thinking it was House Pub haha The service was nice and the vibe did give sport bar with a hint of classical music I didn't like that I had to put a tab on just to sit down but whatever! My friends were an hour late so that meant I had to as well put more down on my card because the food wouldn't be ready by the time they got there and I didn't NOT want to wait any longer than I had already. I had the special for their steak night and it was pretty good!

I dig it here. I had been a few times prior and never disappointed. It's a funky and eclectic schoolhouse atmosphere with great drinks and food. People are super friendly (patrons and employees). Indoor and outdoor seating available. The food is slightly elevated bar fare and it's really tasty. Quality and quantity.

This was our second stop of the night and we enjoyed some drinks with friends at schoolhouse. The bartender kindly split our drink into two glasses as we were having an early night in after a long day without judgement. TVs playing the UT game / other sec games was a nice touch as well. Be warned if you're out on game night you will experience a lot of traffic on this road.

Austin has a good place to get a sizable portion of fish and chips! The menu here is varied enough for everyone and the fact it is in an actual old schoolhouse makes this place pretty cool. I usually sit at the bar and the beer list is well appointed with many styles of brew. The staff is quick yet friendly making you feel like a regular even if you are not! I can't comment on the service beyond being quick - I never ask where my food or drink is here as they seem on top of it all. So stop in to the schoolhouse on manor for dinner and hit up their happy hour if you can!

I came in for HH with a friend and enjoyed their $7 fish and chips and $6 Deep Eddy limeade. The fish didn't seem to have salt but it was good with vinegar and the chips were really tasty particularly in the ranch dip which seemed house made. The limeade was really cute in a tin cup though I didn't feel any alcohol in it tbh. The vibe is a bit dive bar and I honestly expected more of a school house theme but it's pretty laid back. The staff was pretty friendly though the food menu seems a bit pricy and I'm not sure if I'd pay that much for those offerings.

Ginger Chili Wings
Steven L.

Came here for a UT football game, loved the vibe, really felt like a classic pub. Pretty chill, not like a typical sports bar, so it wasn't overcrowded. I was catching up with a friend here so we ordered some food and a few drinks. The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating and the old man that sat next to us at the bar had the energy of a English Football fan - cursing and cheering after every play. The food here was solid: Fish and Chips - two large beer battered fish over a bed of fries. This plate was pretty massive and my only qualm was that the batter to fish ratio was a bit too high, especially at the edges (but still plenty of fish). Spicy Ginger Wings - the chicken wings themselves were good quality, nice and juicy, but the sauce was just too salty. I was able to finish but could've done with half the amount of salt for better wings. I think this a great spot if you're not looking for typical frat energy on sports days, and prefer something a little more intimate.

Shrimp sliders, not worth $18. Muted flavors Fries with the cod and the fries with the sliders two separate batches. Dropped by this East side jewel with some friends for lunch and had a wonderful time. The bartender recommended some great drinks; we had the Wassail drink and it was delicious. Best dishes of the day were the Mac n cheese and the chicken fried chicken. The Mac had cheddar and Parmesan and perfectly crisped pancetta. And the portion for the chicken fried chicken was substantial! (See attached photo). Definitely coming back for the fish n chips. There was a small issue with one of our dishes but the staff and manager handled it wonderfully. Great atmosphere, decent dishes (I'd skip the shrimp sliders tbh as the flavors were a bit muted.) One of my fav places to hang out with a few friends.

Chill little bar! Roomy and spacious and they had a great beer selection on tap. The ambiance is nice and relaxed.

Hours they are "supposed" to be open

Has new hours on their website showing Saturday 11am- 1am, showed up on 8/24/2024 and place is completely closed, no note on the door or explanation. Walked across the street and enjoyed a great lunch and drinks at Haymaker, which we will go back to again instead!

Fish & Chips

Well, I was in the mood for poutine so on today's walk I didn't know where I would end up. I saw School House Pub might have some so I ventured inside. Don't worry, it's coming back next week! I was met by the chillest bartender Mauricio & he even gave me a slight "don't worry, it looks like you're flustered" talk as I approached the bar. He told me the fish and chips as well as the Crawford Bock were on happy hour. Of course I had to have both. I was also in the mood for cauliflower wings and I hit it big here! The food was incredible despite the French fries being overdone. The vegan ranch was delicious and the tartar sauce was unique but not in left-field. The conversation I had with Mauricio was great--it was nice to exchange similar opinions on how East Austin's restaurant scene has changed. He poured me some of his favorite mezcal over ice and it was delicious. The atmosphere was great and super laid back. It was cool to see some Día de los Muertos decor and people from Britain in the pub. I can't wait to go back!

Nashville hot chicken sliders with spicy fries
Thomas W.

I got the Nashville hot sliders with spicy fries. It's not always available but they can make it (usually). It was great! The right amount of spicy and a great crunch! The fries were fantastic and cooked perfectly. One critique is that they should use more meat for the price. Service was stupendous. And the atmosphere is definitely easy-going. I will return.

Mean Girls cocktail
Jessica M.

Came here for cocktails and a bite before an event at Moody Center. I tried the Mean Girls and the Hall Pass cocktails. My favorite was the Means Girls (their take on an espresso martini). I ordered the gyro and the mac n cheese. The gyro had great flavor and came with thick onion rings on the side. I definitely recommend trying this! The Mac n cheese was good but not amazing. I will say I'm a tough critic when it comes to Mac n cheese though. Based on other reviews, most people really like it! You order at the bar counter and your food is brought to your table. The staff were kind and welcoming, and we didn't wait long for our food. The vibe is dive bar meets school house, which was fun to experience. There are tables inside and outside as well as a few parking spots (which is rare for this area of town). Street parking is available in the nearby neighborhood.

The Flor De Fuego was smokeyy and spicy with a kick, while the El Mercado was perfect for my sweet-drink-loving heart. The space is small with limited seating, but a nice date night spot.

The mezcal selection is amazing, which is really the whole point. It's the best way to try something new, with over 20 different agave spirits from all over Mexico. The staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and they take the time to walk you through the differences in flavor, region, and even who made it. You can tell they really care about honoring the traditions and the people behind the spirits. Cocktails are thoughtful and seasonal, but I'd recommend trying at least one pour neat. The food is just as good, as you might have guessed by the menu next door. The thick cut tortilla chips are unbeatable, especially when paired with fresh guacamole and homemade salsa. Whether you're a mezcal nerd or just curious, La Mezca is one of the most unique and thoughtful drinking experiences in Austin. I'll definitely be back.

The drinks were pretty good, I had the moon tower cocktail which was a little sweet but still pretty strong and my date had a frozen cocktail which he also liked a lot. There is parking in the area (streets) that I do believe is mostly free; I ended up parking across the street at Este because I ate there first but there were lots of other cars parked around the place. You order at the bar; menus are on the table but you have to walk up/nobody serves you at the table. You also seat yourself. Bathrooms were quite clean too! Overall this place has a pretty good vibe; I have other go to spots around town I would choose first, but I liked Teddy's and if you live nearby/in east Austin it's a great option for a drink and chill :)

Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.

Really love going to rosé goes!…read more I think everybody in town knows their service is not the best and that's not what they're known for but their cocktails are by far my favorite in all of Austin. Their drink number seven, which is basically a Yuzu gin sour is literally my favorite drink and all of Austin and still continues to be that way. Their food is also pretty decent, but I primarily go there for the drinks. Gotta get my wraps done before it actually closes down because I still don't know how to stay around

It's been around since 2018 so most folks know where it is by now. Heads up, you no longer have to use their app to make a reservation. Simply do so through Open Table and that's when you'll get the entry code. So glad it's no longer a members-only spot as well. The basement location gives anything but a basement vibe. When you enter, you'll see the infamous black paint on white walls mural but then you're transformed into something more. An elegant and elevated high-end speakeasy that transports you to what life in speakeasy settings must have felt like in the days of olde. Who doesn't love being greeted by a tasteful, giant, fake bear with welcome cocktails? The low-lit space brings a feeling of warmth, secrecy, romance, and mystery. You absolutely get the feeling you're in a special and secret hideaway space. From the refined wallpaper to hand blown glass lighting fixtures to the lush and velvety sofa seating, you are truly immersed in the vibe. It brings a feeling of noir and romance with even sexier drinks. Being seated in one of the nooks is my favorite and just really adds to the overall experience. If you follow my reviews then you know I often refer to excellent cocktails as liquid works of art. And, in this case, it's like the most exclusive, high-end art gallery of liquid masterpieces. Cocktails with branded cubes, top tier alcohol and other ingredients from around the globe make for a worthy piece of drinkable art. It doesn't end with cocktails! The mocktails are equally as beautiful and delicious. I highly recommend the cocktails and mocktails. Service is exactly what you would expect and want it to be in this environment. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than average but you're paying for art, atmosphere, and experience that is beyond wonderful.
