Austin has no shortage of weekday steak frites specials, so when I heard about the one at School House Pub, I had to give it a try. On Wednesdays after 5 p.m., they offer steak frites au poivre for just $20, and for the price, it's probably one of the best-value options in the city. The steak was satisfying, but the real standout was the au poivre sauce, which was rich, peppery, and genuinely delicious. They also had an unusually good deal on fish and chips that night, and again, for the price, it was hard to complain. Pair either dish with a cold beer, and you have an easy, affordable, and satisfying dinner. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Not busy on a Sunday afternoon. Order at the bar. Nice humans in a nice setting with a nice selection of drafts. Nice! More seating outside and the weather is awesome. TVs with football inside. Montreal fries are pretty tasty. That's a lot of cheese...The happy hour fish & chips portion is spot on, but the fish was a little bland. That goat cheese tartar sauce, however, is a gustational bomb! I'll take a pint of that stuff to go! read more

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. read more

What a great place! Went to have a drink and dinner before a concert. I had the chicken pita and it was great plus the goat cheese appetizer for the table was great. Brittany, our server was so friendly and engaging! read more

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! read more

No one seems to know what is going on here. Yes, it was busy, but not THAT busy. Maybe 4 people waiting for a drink. Found 2 seats at the bar and it still took quite a while to get a drink. We both had time to go to the restroom, one at a time, come back, and still wait at least 10 minutes more. Finally we ordered 1 Banquet beer, 1 Tito's soda. The bar tender had to turn back immediately because he forgot what beer. Then he had to turn around again because he forgot Tito's soda. We ordered goat cheese dip. He said what do you want with it. We said whatever it comes with. He again asked what we want with it and suggested pretzels. We said sure, pretzels. The bar cleared out and no food came. Eventually he asked us if we got our food and we said no. He brought us 2 pretzels with an ounce of beer cheese and an ounce of mustard. I was just over it at this point and wanted to go home. read more

Food was really good, very good. Sammy was cool behind the bar and she even let us watch college baseball Super Regionals. Appreciate the service. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I love this place... so welcoming and no qualms about being a single female looking for a place to relax and have a drink.

Good food and it comes out quick. The menu is limited, but a good variety. We went in a Monday night, so they weren't all that busy. You order with the bartender, and then take your drinks with you and your food is delivered. I got the Pork Torta. It was very tasty, with a bit of zing, and a thick sauce, and nice slaw. It's served with thick, heavily-breaded onion rings. The rings were a bit too heartily breaded for me, but if this is your style, go for it! Either way, the torta was great! My wife got the Turkey Burger. It was tasty and fresh. I got a couple of drinks with OJ, so I used up the pint they had. Fortunately that was enough for what I was drinking. They have a good-sized selection of craft beers, and a handful of domestic ones. The place isn't too big, but there is indoor and outdoor (tented or out in the open) seating options. read more

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. read more

Walked by here on Valentine's Day and had to come in after we saw the sign on the door. They were doing the cutest, low key v-day event ever. They had themed cocktails and a food special but everything else was the normal price plus a chocolate fountain, decorations, and romcoms playing. I seriously could not have been happier to avoid the expensive chaos of Valentine's Day and come to a comfy spot with nice staff and solid drinks and food. Thank you all so much for making our day! read more

Parking was decent on a Friday evening. We just were coming in for apps which they didn't have too much to choose from, mostly entrees. Cheese plate was good but if needed some meats or fruit. Deviled eggs were yummy and a lighter version of most Scottish egg. Just ordered beers, they had some on happy hour special so stuck to that. Halloween movies were playing so that was fun. Would come back to try the fish and chips. read more

10/10 my new fav. This might b a unique experience but be you and you will attract. Christy my girl to its core! I'll tell you abt it cause I love what I experience so much. Chatting it up w another girlie abt how the guy she's w is NOT it I ask Christy (she's undercover boss mode) in the restroom for some advise and I didn't receive an answer directly. Another lady I also had the pleasure of asking tells us "if he's an asshole now he will be an asshole forever" and I believe her. Christy answered indirectly sent 2 shots for me and said girl (w boy troubles), i am already there for the mess. We cheered and the night is still young! Staff 10/10 if you're an asshole they will b back (they were an asshole to said shitty man mentioned before AS THEY SHOULD!) but be a good soul and you'll see good results! Shoutout my girl bartending and working the register Shoutout the young gentle man that brought out our pretzel and the extra cheese (that said shitty man said I shouldn't do at the bar bc he "knew the owner") OH HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMAN read more

Cute lil neighborhood bar in East Austin~ nice decor like a school room with books, chalk boards, element table etc. hence the name. They feature lots of draft beer options however they do have some nice cocktail offerings, my fav is the Hall Pass, gin with muddled blackberries & soda~ quite refreshing would be even more delish if blended like a slushie, IMO! Hint~ Hint also daily drink specials so check their website see which day would be BEST for you. Arrived at 5, by 5:20 they were packed. You order everything at the bar, once your drink is ready they call your drink name and you fetch it. You food order will be delivered to your table~ Food ranges from appetizers to full size burgers, Mac & Cheese. We had the flavored parmigiana popcorn along with a cheese board, both are generous portions. I saw a bowl of French Fries that smelled divine on the table next to us..... I could have mowed thru that bowl in a hot second! Rather smallish inside, however outside tables in front & along side with misters due to the humid Texas summers Located on a busy street some FREE parking in back who doesn't like FREE? read more

What an adorable pub! We stumbled our way here strolling the block looking for a good place for dinner. We ordered food and drinks at the bar and picked our own seats. EVERYTHING in the pub is school house themed and it's so creative. I got the school house burger and my friend got Mac and cheese and we shared the garlic fries. Both dishes were so tasty!! The burger had a very unique smokey flavor that people may or may not like. The portion of the garlic fries were so large, we had leftovers. I would definitely come back for the vibes especially to sit outside on the patio. read more

Food is delicious! I came here twice to order their deviled eggs! It's best if you come during recess hours (happy hour) and check out their discounted menu! Otherwise, expect to pay minimum $14 for your main course. I love that their menu, decor and the restaurant reminds me of an elementary school. Service was wonderful and food came out about 15 mins on a slow day. It's also conveniently located between a couple of taco restaurants if you need a quick snack! Patio is Bob and dog friendly! There's water bowls for your thirsty pup on the side of the restaurant if you choose to bring your furry companion! Bartender made me a cute mimosa to enjoy before heading back to the airport. Definitely coming back to visit when I'm in town again! read more
