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!

its a really cool theme but their happy hour fish and chips were incredible lackluster the drinks are good but nothing special i also don't trust any place that doesnt give you an itemized bill bc omg its expensive for what youre getting

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

Turkey Burger
John H.

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.

So cute

Upon passing through the velvet curtains that opened up into a dark mysterious room that has several paintings and various decor and I really enjoyed the candles at the end of the bar that were extremely tall and had the lovely melting wax all over. This evening they had a dance lesson and the gentleman came over and spoke with us afterwards, so there were several people dancing to music when we arrived. At the bar ended up ordering El Desierto, calenda mezcal, hibiscus liqueur, guava, lime juice. No, I'm normally not a Mezcal type of lady however, this drink yeah absolutely phenomenal. I'm not sure what the rim was coded with. It was kind of salty kind of sweet. It really complimented the drink very well. The drink itself, however you couldn't even taste the Mezcal such a wonderful blend now they do serve tacos from Veracruz restaurant next-door. However we didn't have anything as we had just had dinner somewhere else. The restrooms were also very clean and tidy I enjoy the unique faucet handle that was a gear and turned versus having the normal handles. Just go look at it if you ever go. I would totally go back as they have the dance kind of short lessons on Wednesdays and they do a little dance social afterwards to brush up on a few dance steps, but also to try a few other things that are on their menu

Inside the dim candlelit interior there's space for probably about 50 people, with seating around the outside, then some standing tables and a standing bar as well. The prices are surprisingly reasonable for a swanky cocktail bar, with snacks available from Veracruz next door for $9-$10, and cocktails run from $14-$16, with straight pours of rare mezcals available for increasing prices. Hopefully this place pops off at night, because I came at 7 and was the only person here!

At one point, I was coming here several days a week to watch games because I loved the vibes so much! I'm a big fan of their outdoor patio area, both in the shared Howdy's space and closer to The Long Goodbye side. The indoor bar is very intimate and would make for a lovely date night spot. They also have food options (there is a super popular taco truck in the outdoor area and they serve snacks at their indoor bar). I believe they do focaccia pizza slices on certain nights ans they are sooooo good! They also have a coffee truck for those who looking for cafinated options. The drinks here are fab! Ive tried all their spritzes, a few rotating frozens (if anyone who works here is reading this, please bring the banana colada), and couple of their world cup specific drinks. They have a decent happy hour. The funny thing is, I was initially going to watch that original soccer game somewhere else and it was so packed that we came here and I am so glad we did bc I discovered one of my favorite bars in Austin! I even follow them on Instagram so I can keep tabs on their fun happenings & specials

I noticed a coffee shop that was not open, but I would love to try. I wasn't the biggest fan of any of their happy hour drinks, but the bartender made me the most perfect French 75. Also they had a deal where you get a free burger for any drink that contained Wild Turkey Bourbon. Not a bourbon drinker, but I damn sure love a burger. It was so worth the shot! Also there's a pizza place right across the street that people brought pizza from, and there are small bites that look delish inside the bar. Definitely will be back to explore the menu more.

Some friends took us here for a birthday celebration, taking a chance because they'd never been…read morethere either. What a find! Rosé Gosé (note accents) is in an unassuming Airport Blvd location (right next to Jewboy Burgers, an Austin favorite). It is run by a couple from Belarus that came here right after Covid to open up a restaurant, with a sister in Minsk. Defying expectations, the menu is not Balkan at all. If anything, there is a strong Asian influence with poke bowls and a lot of seafood. But the menu also offers beef tartare on their raw bar menu, as well as a steak offering and grilled chicken. It's a diverse and adventurous menu, all the way from small plates to hefty mains and vegetable sides. For the dessert, try the pavlova, a meringue confection stuffed with coconut mousse and topped with lime sorbet and a grapefruit slice sidecar. Everything is superbly presented, and unquestionably fresh and healthy without veering into twigs and berries territory. The cocktail menu is also playful, with a lot of nontraditional glassware and slight spins on popular drinks; their version of a Paloma uses prosecco instead of a splash of soda. The servers are all dressed in rosé jumpsuits and very attentive. The space is amiable and elegant without being pretentious. The table spacing is a little close, so that conversations carry between guests. The table setting has some nice touches, like the little wooden bench that holds your fork and knife off the table. In European fashion, water can be asked for but it won't be served with ice. Plan on taking your time and enjoying course after course.

My hubs chose Rosé Gosé for my Mother's Day brunch location. In full transparency, choosing a…read morerestaurant is not his jam. However, today major shout out to the hubs. 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.
