Everyone there was very friendly & it was a clean area to eat in as well. We've been here before & we will be back again!

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I was craving a beer and found this spot from my normal breweries in the area (st. elmo, meanwhile, and zilker). It's very close by st. elmo. We got the beer flight. which consisted of the pilz, hazy, west coast ipa, and light amber. You can choose your flight, these were the beers we ordered. The pilz was my favorite. Very light and crisp for the summer day. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A flight was around $13, which was great! Definitely enjoyed the beers here and recommend this spot!

Bizarre food/drink situation (are you dropping it off at the table or making us wait at the bar?…read morenot sure, neither was the bartender but I digress.) Besides that, drinks were delightful and made with a heavy hand. We had the wings as a quick bite and I appreciated the display and sides of the dish--in addition to the wings being yummy.

One word: Amazing…read more This is easily my favorite brew pub, and I've been to so many around the world. ABGB is truly an Austin gem. You get to know the servers, meet some talented musicians, dance the night away, drink tasty beer, eat delicious pizza, and pet the cutest ABGB ambassador, Mago. Kim, the brewer is all around a wonderful person who makes the best beer around. If you're in for just one night, try the superliner and the beegining. The Superliner is a zangy IPA, and the Beegining won the 2026 World Beer Cup Gold. Go straight for the waygu and order some pints, you cannot go wrong. I recently moved back to Austin, and this was one of my first stops.

I love this place…read more I was obsessed 512 Pecan Porter Way back when I didn't even know breweries were a destination for relaxation. When my fella and I started going out this was a place he enjoyed visiting when we were in the area. What am I talking about, he still loves coming here even if I don't imbibe. Every time we stop by, we're greeted with the best and friendliest service. The grounds are always well maintained and the vibe is chill and relaxing. Everyone is also nice and in good spirits. Great place to get a drink and relax.

512 Brewing Company was another Austin based brewery that we hit up and had a few beers from during…read moreour trip here. We had two different beers from this brewery. Both were solid and good. Starting on the lighter side of the beer spectrum from here we had the (512) Beer: 30 which is an American Light Lager. In the flavor profile for this beer you can find a natural sweetness, a crisp and clean presence as well. The beer was light bodied and very easy to drink more than one of! Moving to darker beer territory and the one that I liked maybe just a little bit better (but it was neck and neck) was the (512) Pecan Porter. This was a fun porter as it was on the nutty side of things as the name indicates. All the flavors blended in very nicely. Flavor features in this beer to find is sweetness, a coffee presence and of course the pecan flavor. The beer is nice and smooth and creamy in body. Two good beers from two different beer types made this beer exploration a little bit more well rounded.

I entered from the back of the brewery and proceeded to the bar to order a beer. The vibe inside the brewery is high ceilings, exposed bricks, modern, and industrial aesthetic. I ordered the block party west coast double ipa (Block Party is a Double West Coast IPA dry-hopped with Citra, Centennial, and HBC 638, brewed in collaboration with their neighbors at Vacancy Brewing for their annual all-day Block Party). The beer was hoppy and smooth. There is also WiFi available if you need to logon to check emails/take calls. I highly recommend this brewery if you are in the area.

In the attached picture from left to right I rank the sake from bad to less bad. The one of the right was bearable but I still would not buy it alone. Perhaps the japanese sakes would have tasted better? We also decided not to get the sushi hand rolls to try and make the drinks more bearable as they did not have much variety or sounded good. I was also not a fan of the interior. Kind of reminded me of an old chinese buffet with those large stick chairs and tables. The staff here were friendly, but nothing else really redeemed here

Popped in there after enjoying some drinks at one of the places next door…read more I hate to admit that this was rather underwhelming. We got Texas Sake tasting to start with and this is where we finished. The flight looked very different from other people's reviews here and tasted VERY fishy. The yellow-ish one was probably the most bearable one but it still was not good at all. To be very honest, I really had to push myself to take more than one sip of each. If I had nothing to compare with, I would probably refrain from being this harsh, but I have had cheap and expensive sake and I have never tasted anything this bad... We looked at the hand roll options and we didn't find anything we would be interested in. The interior felt like it was a bingo room with a couple of Japan inspired booths that looked a little bit out of place compared to the rest of the floor. Gave one star for nice staff and a cool fish mural.

I said I'm sorry but my husband just got some and he insisted I'm mistaken and looked more annoyed. He sent me away. My husband asked and his response was "are you with that woman in the scrubs?" And was annoyed yet again. What did I do to him to piss him off? Anyway. Our friend went up then and asked the original guy who got it for us. THERE WAS NO MISTAKE. The bartender just was rude for no reason. I tipped 25% when I got drinks from him, and never once treated him like crap. So not sure what I did to deserve his ire

Flavor highlights with this beer are grainy, crispness and a bit funky.
