    Flight (choose 4 beers, 5th is hop water)
    Jen H.

    I wanted to like this spot, but I wasn't overly impressed by the beers themselves nor the seating/vibes. Most of beers I tried were on the flatter side and weren't super distinct/unique. My favorite beer by far that I tried was the Chuck, which is a sour beer (berry notes). Order at the bar and pick a seat indoors or outside. I got a flight, which allows you to pick 4 beers, and the fifth will be hop water (non-alcoholic). I don't see myself coming back to this spot, especially when there's lots of other brewery options. Glad I came to check it out though!

    St. Elmo is easily one of my top three breweries in town. The beer lineup is consistently solid from light Kölschs to bold IPAs and they even offer coffee and non-alcoholic options, which is a nice touch. The space is great with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoor patio style seating. Parking option's are decent, but it can get crowded on weekends so plan ahead. If you're hungry Spicy Boys is a must if you're into fried chicken (and really, who isn't?). Patty Palace is another solid option if you're more in the mood for a burger. A fun bonus: on Mondays, they offer $2 Carl Specials and discounted Spicy Boys sandwiches--makes for an ideal weeknight hang. The only downside? Event planning can be hit or miss. On St. Patrick's Day, they ran out of green beer and the food truck special by midafternoon and it's not the first time something like that's happened. I get that things happen, but I'd love to see more attention to detail for big events. That said I'll still keep coming back as it's a great spot with a strong community vibe and beer I can count on.

    One thing you need to know before you come here is that this place is a card only, no cash accepted establishment. I normally frequent the Springdale location, but I happened to be south so I made it here around 1 PM on a Tuesday. I was surprised that the parking lot was completely full minus one spot for me. I was also surprised to find no customers inside ( a few came later) and was told their lot was used by all the people who work in the area which means there may be more places available after 5 PM when they leave. Most of the seating is located outdoors and they do have a spicy boys chicken truck (my favorite) on premise. There's also another food truck on the property called Patty Palace in case you want a burger. Inside you'll find an extensive list of different beers, many of which you will not find in retail. Seating inside is pretty much no frills and the AC is not up to the job. One advantage of coming here is that this is just one business in a line of several businesses that reside in a very large and long strip center. Ants Beer cave and Still Austin are two other drinking establishments within a short walk in the same center. It has a great vibe and quality beer with music playing overhead. There is an event calendar posted inside featuring music and drag queen events. You also may be happy to know the place is dog friendly, just keep them on a leash. There is a kids play area outside as well. A few other points of interest is that they do offer wine and cider along with canned beer to go. Also the tip screen starting at 20% will also be waiting for you. Check out the informative photos and videos before you get here.

    Cheers!

    Electric atmosphere on a Friday night, there was a DJ and glitter bar I believe for a new beer release. Very casual vibe. Two food trucks nearby, we enjoyed Spicy Boys, it was really really really good! We came about 6 and it gradually got busier and busier. The beer line was out the door, but went quick. I enjoyed a Rosé and hubs an IPA. We caught the tail end of the sun setting. Very enjoyable, we'd love this brewery transported to our area please!

    St Elmo Brewing Co is a great spot for a relaxed, family- and dog-friendly hangout in Austin. It definitely deserves points for the awesome outdoor area. Plus, it is dog-friendly both inside and out, which is rare to find. I'm honestly sad I didn't come here with my dog in the peak of the summer, because this would have been awesome! There is a nice variety of beer styles on tap, so whether you're into IPAs, stouts, or something lighter, St Elmo has you covered. One big perk is the free parking--tons of it in the open, shared lot out front! This alone makes it super convenient, and you may find yourself wandering between St Elmo and the neighboring locales (shout-out to the distillery next door!). I am giving St Elmo 4 stars, mainly because the interior seating was a bit of a letdown. The setup inside felt somewhat bland and lacked comfortable seating, making it a bit awkward to settle in. There were some picnic-style tables inside, as well as high-tops, none of which had seating with backs and were difficult to get comfortable on. They also had a large screen, which would have be awesome under normal circumstances, and were playing Chicken Run. Great classic movie, but just not the vibe for a lazy weekend afternoon with adults. But, with such a solid outdoor space and a dog-friendly policy, St Elmo Brewing Company is still worth the visit for a good beer and a chill vibe.

    Fun spot in south Austin - always good vibes with good brews, lots of options. Plenty of tables to chill and hang out with your group of friends. Dog-friendly and family friendly also.

    I love St. Elmo, both locations, but just spent time at the South location. I LOVED the rainbow tap handles, they are so aesthetically pleasing! Was sad to hear they are just for Pride month. Hey owners- please keep these up year round!

    Love their Hazy IPA, has great citrus notes. I highly recommend it! Great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful

    Cool brewery in Austin! The atmosphere is lively yet chill, and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. It's the kind of place where you can lose track of time (in the best way). They have a few food trucks and some other food options near by. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Austin and looking for great beer and good vibes!

    $2 Carl drafts on Mondays :)

Their parking is a little limited, now they have 2 lots which is usually fine for normal days but it's not nearly enough when they have an event going on. There are people parked on the gravel past the actual parking lot and both times we got to watch someone spin their tires trying to escape a parking spot they really shouldn't have attempted in the first place. Service was insane for this last show- someone booked a wedding reception on the bottom floor at the same time as this SXSW (not official but advertised as an ancillary show) event so only the top bar was open and the lines to order went almost all the way through the inside! It just wasn't planned well. I really do enjoy this bar but I don't know that I would go to another show there- think it might just be for random meet ups.

I'm usually not a fan of 'craft cocktails' out bc they're overpriced and not nearly as good as what my partner makes at home, but these were glorious. These drinks had layers of flavor. And fresh ingredients. And they were reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't even remember the last time we had such good drinks out (ok that's a lie but another review and it was at that place where Crowbar used to be - but these win hands down). The bartenders were nice and knowledgeable (Did I mention they make amazing drinks?). The outside has a similar feel to Cosmic but more secluded which is nice. They have plenty of seating, mostly outside, and food from an onsite truck, Sabor Tapatio. Honestly, I feel like this place is a unicorn. 78745 low key vibe but also with some old school Austin feels (I'm talking 2005 mid-Noughties - not 20-teen Rainey Street batch cocktails). They also have coffee in the mornings which we'll be checking out sooner rather than later. 10/10 recommend.

Before Wyatt Flores took the stage, there were plenty of people dancing and two-stepping, but it transitioned into a regular concert once Wyatt came out. Both were great energy. One thing I noticed was that for Austin prices, their beers weren't too pricey and were decently affordable. That's what I love about a honky tonk!

The point here, besides being old & lame now (vs. just lame), is that I'm more selective about pizza nowadays. I'll gladly spend a little bit more to get something a lot better and Aviator absolutely nails it on this front. Aviator excels at the basics. The crust and the sauces are expertly executed and provide the perfect foundation for anything you get here. The classic pepperoni is a can't miss crowd pleaser. Their take on the Margherita strikes the perfect balance between the basil's herbaceousness and the the mozzarella's mozzarella-iness. Their love letter to garlic, the "Flying Garlic", will be a canon event for the garlic lover in your life. My go to is the Ground Control. A perfect supreme pizza, in my book.

The service here is great, too. Attentive and responsive if you have any issues with your food. Tip them generously - they are great. The layout also lends itself to get-togethers with friends, loved ones, and those you keep around but hold a healthy disdain for because you fear confrontation.
