Brisket Grilled Cheese with bacon jalapeño and tots! $16
Mandy O.

OH MY GOSH! This is a gem in the heart of downtown Round Rock. The prices and bar food, were exceptional. Their service was good despite only having one employee, the owner. He helped with any questions hand delivered or food and drinks. It looks small from the storefront, but has deep sitting to the end of the bar. It's Across the street is lamppost coffee. I've driven and browsed through shops. Their tater tots are hands down the best you will ever have. The perfect crunch and softness once you bite in. My jam, cheese onion brisket sandwich was a delight and the burger was delicious. Make sure you stop and enjoy some amazing selection of beers on tap and yummy food to go along.

I sat at the bar this time. Service was phenomenal from all of the bartenders. I ordered 2 cocktails off their specialty menu, and both were very well made. (And I am picky about my cocktail quality.) I was excited to see the new food menu as well, and decided to try the pickle chips with buttermilk ranch. The chips were fried perfectly, and had a little kick to them which surprised me but was enjoyable. The buttermilk ranch tasted freshly made. You could taste the herbs in it. The bar wasn't overly busy for a Friday night, but I was there on the earlier side of the evening. It was nice since it allowed me to chat with my friend without yelling. I'm definitely going to come here more often now.

Cheers!

They have like 60 beers on tap, what's not to like? Nestled in downtown Round Rock, Brass Tap is a great place to drop in, swig a beer or dozen, have a bite and catch the game. Is it fancy? Nah, not really. Is it clean and well-kept? Yessir. Good service, friendly staff and ample seating. It has a sort of coziness to it that makes me feel like they have a lot of regulars and I dig that.

Stopped by for a late dinner and a pint on a Saturday night. Surprisingly there was not much of a crowd so we sat ourselves and scanned the QR code for the menu. I went to the bar and ordered (no wait staff at the tables). I ordered the Fish-n-Chips w/ a Pearl Snap, my date had the Biggy BBQ Mac Burger with a Dragon Fruit Daiquiri. For the positives: our drinks were very good, hard to mess up a draught beer, but it was not flat & just cold enough. She absolutely loved the daiquiri, side note- she's with me so standards aren't super high. Bar staff were super helpful and attentive, patio was very chill and secluded from the other spots surrounding it. The bathroom was clean and didn't smell like vomit. Negatives: My fish and chips were below expectations. Their grease was entirely too hot and it was flash fried causing the batter to be too crispy and the fish was piping hot. The selection of cod was not good either most of the pieces were blackened meat and the chips were crinkle cut fries, a letdown. I wasn't expecting a London level plate but it was a very sad and lonely one. Her burger was loaded with BBQ sauce and her mac-n-cheese balls were fried similarly causing the same burnt batter. It wasn't the worst meal I've had at a chain beer joint, looking at you Fox and Hound, but it wasn't close to the best. The Flying Saucer has a very good bar style fish and chips plate that costs about the same but they pay attention to the details that make it better. Overall I would not recommend and I will not be going back but in a pinch it won't make you sick.

Pickles chips

Live music is always fun on Saturday night! Indoors is always lively and a good time. Back patio is so nice especially after recent renovations in downtown. They have fans in summer and gas heaters in winter. Along with a really cool fire pit area. Great beer selection and staff is always really friendly. Parking garage basically directly behind makes it so easy to get to. Food could be better though, pickle chips were very greasy.

Interior

This is a pretty cool place to visit if you find yourself in the area. We came in here and decided to get some drinks and grilled cheeses. My friend was ranting and raving about the burger. He said it was in the top 5 best burgers he has ever had. The drinks were alright, I got the pineapple cider which was the best tasting drink according to everyone. The vodka seemed a little off but it was fine. The service was alright also, they were not the most attentive but they also realized when they had to bus our table. I would come back here if I were to be in the area. I should have taken pictures of the food. What a wonderful visit to this bar!

The best part of this bar is the many great local beers on tap, in a great location. We were able to sample a few before we decided on our pour which was very kind of the bar back. The interior is pretty memorable, all wood and feels comfy cozy. There are a few different rooms, the bar is more length than wide and you kind of have to weave down the hall to find people at tables or outside. Great place to have conversation with friends as the tvs are usually on low of muted for music and the different seated areas, like booths, help block out others conversations. We did have to find our waitress/just go up to the bar instead a few times to get what we needed and had to wait a long time for our pork sliders when there wasn't many patrons in the bar and the food was okay, but not memorable.

Great pub environment. Good aesthetic and solid food for the price. Awesome tap selection, they have something for everyone. Staff were friendly and helpful when tho it was busy for St. Patrick's day.

Although it was a couple of hours before closing, they had all the chairs up on the tables except for the bar area - the bar was jam packed, it had nice vibe - everyone watching the games - but things could've been better if they had had a couple tables opened up, but I guess they were wanting to get out sooner rather than later Sam (new bartender to me) suggested I order an appetizer to enjoy while I was watching the game and said it probably would taste good with my beer... he handed me a laminated card that said appetizers were half price... I asked and Sam confirmed they were half price during their late night happy hour. I ordered the pepperoni flatbread, which was above average and considering it was half price. It really hit the spot. However, when I closed out and was presented with my check, the flatbread was at full price. I asked Sam about that and he said he would have to talk to his manager. He came back and said it was his fault. There was not a late night happy hour and that I would need to pay the full price - are you kidding me?? That is what his manager told him to tell me. He tried to make things a little better by giving me a card for a free appetizer on my next visit... Sam apologized and admitted it was his fault, but also try to explain the situation by saying he was fairly new and still learning, but I still scratch my head at the manager's response to the situation.

That has yet to happen, but I did enjoy a nice weekend brunch there with my girlfriend and a friend from work. The bar is super comfortable and cozy. It's such a relaxing and comfortable spot. It's not perfectly designed for a dining experience, but it's greatly shaped and laid out for a bar. My girlfriend and I shared their sizable French press coffee to start. 30 oz of the Lodestar Blend from Texas Coffee Traders. To eat, I ordered the Bagel Breakfast Sandwich, which is your classic everything bagel with egg, bacon, cheddar, and mayo. I added their potatoes as well. The sandwich was good and flavorful, while the potatoes were decent. They could've used a little salt, which I didn't see on the table and never bothered to ask about, so that's on me. My girlfriend got their Avocado Toast with an egg on top. Can never go wrong with some avocado on glorious sourdough bread. Lastly, my friend got their Dutch Baby Pancake, which I tried a bite of, and whew, what a delight. Ruby's bar does a great job at making you feel comfortable. It really helps generate a good conversation on a Sunday morning, just from how relaxed the atmosphere feels. I'm sold on this spot, and I love how tucked away it is, though still close to the downtown area of Round Rock. RIYL: A lil brunch at a cute lil spot.

PIZZA: Very good. We tried the Pepperoni / Basil and Mushroom Man. The pizza itself was nice and thin with a fantastic doughy crust that had little pockets of crispy blistering. Nailed the texture there (at least for me). The toppings were great too. The pepperoni did that little cup thing that it does when it curls up. Love that.

I asked Nick if we were still okay, and it wasn't one of those fake "yeah, you're fine" answers. They welcomed us in, took our order, and went right to work like it was any other time of day. That's what stood out to me. There wasn't a shortcut taken because it was close to closing. They didn't grab slices that had been sitting around. They made them the way they're supposed to be made. Crispy pepperoni, bubbling cheese, perfect crust... exactly what you'd expect from a place that takes pride in what they serve. At the end of the day, cooking great pizza is what they're supposed to do. The difference is that 600° does it with the same care at 9:30 at night as they do at lunchtime, and that's rare. Huge shout-out to Nick and the team. Great people, great pizza, and absolutely worth the drive every single time. Tue vibe is so chill !! I love it!!

Thoughts on food - The buffalo chicken tasted less like well buffalo chicken (what I'd imagine more on a wing sauce) and more just like a chicken pizza. I'm not sure how to describe it but I think the sauce missed the mark for me. The Margherita was good, I am a veggie lover so I just wish there were more tomato's and herbs on that side, otherwise it could be a bit dry. The Greek salad was a great veggie item to split, and the tiramisu is better than what you'd get at HEB but I wouldn't put it number 1 on my list either. I wish I had solid pieces of lady fingers in each bite. I'm uncertain given the influx of pizza options in the area if I'd order a whole pie myself, I'm open to trying the slices.
