    So many types of alcohol
    Gabrielle B.

    Stopped by on Friday afternoon. Clientele was relatively quiet. Bar was fully stocked and had a huge selection of liquor. Service was quick. Holyce was performing. $5 margaritas. Good time had by all.

    Came to Austin for the long weekend and found this place wandering around downtown Austin Mike at the door, is extremely welcoming and Kate behind the bar, is Top Notch... Will absolutely be back!!!

    a bar filled with liquor bottles

    It's alright...nothing special...The bartender was nice...We went in around 3pm, so it wasn't busy at all. Ordered a beer (they have cold beer, I'll give them that), a crown apple cranberry and a Jameson sprite, it was $33. Just another bar along 6th street.

    Blake is quite the showman behind the bar! Great personality and helps you have a great time at this bar. This was our first bar stop after we got settled into our hotel that we were staying at. We arrived in the early afternoon on a Thursday, so not many restaurants and especially bars were open yet. It didn't seem like Dizzy Rooster was supposed to be either, but while walking down six street, the bouncer out front waved us in and we began our "taste of Austin" journey. Blake was working behind the bar that day. We came to find out after talking with him for a while that we closed the night before too. He easily could have been in a bad, non-talkative mood, but he was far from that! He gave us a ton of tips of places to check out throughout our stay here. With the amount of liquor on the back wall, I had totally blanked on what I wanted to order. I usually don't ask a bartender this, but in this case I felt comfortable to ask Blake what he recommended or liked making. He recommended a Pineapple Upside Down cake drink, which I had never heard of before, so I gave that a try. Needless to say, I had 3 of them before my wife and I left. Each time he was making them, as well as the drinks my wife was having, he was doing tricks with the glassware and bottles. It was really cool to watch because there was only a few of us in the bar so we got to have more personable conversations. Great way to start our trip in Austin! We meant to make it back in the evening during one of our nights but unfortunately never did. Looking forward to coming back though!

    I used to stop by Dizzy Rooster regularly and was sad to hear they had closed during coronavirus. Turns out they have re-opened under new ownership. They did a BIG remodel and the place looks great. Tons of TVs, clean bar, and it looks really great. Will be stopping back in often.

    The Dizzy Rooster, or the locals simply call it the Rooster, is one of the many bars along downtown Austin's 6th Street. Seriously. It's a hole-in-the-wall, smallish in size. But a life-size Texas State outline on the far wall with the famous phrase by their beloved Texan, Matthew McConaughey, Alright, Alright, Alright in the center really infuses the idea of "enough". Plenty of bar space, and beer. No food is served, and the merchandise is hit and miss. I was only there at my sister's request for a trucker hat. The beer was cold, and the live music was a nice touch.

    Thanks Blake

    Blake is the greatest bar tender ever tell what I like and he will have a drink for u!! Thanks for the therapy Blake

    Feeling dizzy? You're not drinking hard enough! The Dizzy Rooster is a fine watering hole, with little touches like bottle caps on the columns to keep it personable. Honestly, this bar is much like its competition on 6th Street, which is a good thing since that means cheap, dependable drinks for us. Friendly bartender Ricky Bobby poured us F bombs, then mixed up a mind eraser - something I haven't had in years. Sitting at the bar, we enjoyed the Rooster's vibe, a bopping energy that never let down. The live music wasn't bad - just loud - and the other patrons didn't complain either. No cover, so stop in for a drink.

    See all

Eclectic decor, crowd and menu; it was very Austin! Service was excellent throughout and we enjoyed trying several dishes off their menu! Began with a cocktail called Roselite which was both delicious and beautiful then we tried a variety of their dishes! My absolute favorite was their oysters Rockefeller which were some of the best I have had anywhere! The topic was crispy and delicious and they were perfectly cooked! Also enjoyed the half dozen or their East Coast oysters that were delicious. Enjoyed their delicious yellowfin tuna with lemons, capers, shallots and olive oil. The fries and onion dip were also just excellent ! My only let down - and it was barely that as it was so delicious and fresh - was the smoked trout dip! Part of it was a me problem as I was comparing it to my favorite version made by State Bird - a famous eatery in San Francisco where this is one of their go to dishes - and part of it was that this restaurant has that Feankin BBQ tie so when they said smoked - I was looking forward to that smoke forward taste and their was none - but it was fresh, delicious and well prepared! Had a fantastic time here and will definitely go back! Highly recommend Uptown!

The drinks were good, priced at an upscale downtown markup.

Looking for a place to watch March Madness and it felt like a humid day packed like sardines in a Boston T car when we walked in and out of Lavaca. We were quite enlightened to walk into The Pub, right around the corner, welcoming us to a cool and dim space with tiled floor, trimmed walls, and embellishments of faux trees. The space wasn't overly packed and a good amount of TVs to feel supported by at least three different sporting events. Even a TV in the men's room (not women's). Service was great! Regular table sweeps. Eric at the bar was very kind and accommodating. What to order? You're in an Irish Sports Bar. A Guinness is a must. The heads were perfect. Pastrami sandwich. You won't be disappointed. And the Burger was actually pretty good too, and unique with touches of arugula and mixed brisket and ground beef meat. Of course, it's always a fun touch to have some special sauce offered. The only thing I noticed that seemed unusual was, not only an automatic tip applied but also, a credit card processing fee added to the bill. Felt a little odd and out of place. Of course, I'm not sure if this is applied with regular service, as we ordered directly from the bar (despite sitting at a high top nearby). Another observation: a lot of people ordered wine and even espresso martinis here. Either they know something I don't, or this place calls to a variety of people. Cheers!

For reasons that make no sense to any experienced summer festival-goer, the Q2 powers-that-be decided to make this a "no re-entry" event, meaning that attendees are basically locked in the stadium with very few options for relief from the heat. Thank heaven for PointsBet Sports Bar! PointsBet Austin is located inside of Q2 stadium on the north end near the Zebra Gate, up some stairs just to your right as you enter the gate. They have cold air-conditioning, at least one phone recharging station, a few table games, seating for at least 50 people, and standing room for a couple hundred others. Plus, there's a huge horseshoe bar serving plenty of canned and mixed beverages. The whole north wall is floor-to-ceiling windows, providing plenty of natural light. Lastly, there are 18 flatscreens around the walls showing various sporting events and during our concert, a couple were streaming a live view of the concert stage. As expected, prices were "high" (like everything else in Austin these days), but they were in line with pricing available at the other beverage stands outside in the stadium, so we didn't pay any more than we would have out there for the same drink. According to their website, PointsBet opens 3 hours before soccer matches on regular Q2 game days, and it's one of the few air-conditioned places where non-VIP attendees can get a break from the goings-on outside.
