Amazing staff and great vibes. I would recommend coming here brunch or even just drinks. They have a pool table, booths, bar seating, and even outdoor seating for when the weathers nice. Keep a look out on their social media for events too. If you're feeling karaoke, they also have a great karaoke bar inside called Showpony. It's open Thursday thru Sunday from 9pm to close. read more

The reviews had me so worried I almost didn't go, but I had a great time here! Yes, the parking lot is small, but please, there IS a parking lot in the first place. Beyond that, it's not hard to get street parking nearby anyway. The venue itself is spacious and diverse, with many different environments to socialize and make merry. There's a private room for karaoke with its own bar, poor tables in the main room, and TVs with various sports playing. Outdoor, you've got corn hole and even some fun swings that become increasingly dangerous as you imbibe. I didn't try any of the food, but they have it. Mostly just French fries for vegans, so plan to hit someplace else if you get hungry. Otherwise, it's a great place to chill for a few hours. read more

It's a fine bar. The burgers I had before were pretty good. There is a nice outdoor space that shares with the bar next door. They've got 2 pool tables indoors. One of the hefe beers we got had hint of a fishy taste for some reason. We couldn't not finish it. Nice place to stop by still especially if you are going to see a show nearby. The happy hour is held really early. There's almost no way you can rush here after work to reap it. read more

We went there before the show across the street to kill some time. I got a glass of Jefe and I'm not sure what exactly cause it but it tasted like smoked salmon. The kind you put on a bagel, ya know. I have had this beer before and I know it is supposed to be smoky BUT not fishy?!?!?! Also the bathrooms' choice of stall doors is questionable. Who decided that double door opening was a great idea for a bar bathroom (or any crammed bathroom overall). I was sober and took me a moment to properly get it to close. Imagine someone would need to use it after a few drinks...? The only good things were so far a big outdoors area in my opinion. We didn't get any food since we were there after dinner. read more

Came in for a friend birthday and it truly loved the outside. Inside kind of vibe. It's very cute for big groups and very spacious outside. The ambience overall is very cute and gives off a day party. Kind of vibe. The food was also very good. No complaints about the food or the drinks. Overall food, drinks and ambience. We're all fine. What's keeping me from giving this place? A better rating was truly just the bar staff. When I walk into a bar, I want to feel like I'm coming in to hang out with friends. Not like an Outsider, who doesn't understand the vibe of the people versus the actual music because they did not match at all. You can tell that the bartender was on the ox and clearly only worried about what songs we're going to get him through the day. I wish that there would've been someone who knew how to read the room and could've made us feel more welcome, especially considering the fact that there was about 20 people in my group. But also baffled me was the fact that the bartender was giving us such a hard time knowing that majority of this group likes to frequent the bars in the area. Personally, I would not be back, unless I absolutely have to for an event. read more

The Jackalope is a great spot to enjoy an evening. It's a "shot and a beer" kind of place if you ask me but they also do standard cocktails well. The vibes feel Austin authentic with a touch of weirdness but a great mix of all that Austin had to offer. You will find yourself sitting next to tech folks from Oracle as well as the guys playing the next show on their stage. Ask for Happy Hour when you swing by and you won't be disappointed. read more

Great spot in austin for a nice bevy and a drink. Everyone was super nice and the food smelled pretty good, didn't get to eat anything sadly. But the bartenders knew their stuff and it was very lgbt friendly which is always great! read more

This is my first time here on a Friday night around 6pm. I got lucky with parking in there a lot, but it was pretty full even by the time I got there. The vibes of the place were pretty cool. It was a good place to come with a group of friends and sit at the bar or kickback in a booth or a picnic table outside. Inside, they had pool tables in the back and karaoke room and outside that day they had, a live DJ. as for my food, I wasn't pressed by the price point. It was nice to pay six dollars for a burger which filled me up, but I'm not sure would fill up other people. The burger itself was juicy, flavorful and the bun was plush! The sweet potato tots I had a high hopes for, but they definitely fell short , and would not recommend those. They were too dense on the inside. read more

The Jackalope - South Shore - burger and sweet potato tots - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very rude bartender. I have experienced this several times. Not a great place to hang out. I go for the pool tables.

How can YOUR OWN PARKING LOT be your biggest hater? There is never any parking. Never. The bar is in a downward slump of a location and you're praying your car doesn't roll backwards when you do park. This place could be great but whose idea was it to pick this location and not even try to expand parking once it became popular? Your parking lot alone has probably lost you thousands and thousands of dollars a year. I won't go back to this place, even if it is ok on the inside. read more

Filled with throng of college kids and thus cheap beers & food! Went here for an office meet-up for a casual team-outing. We were lucky to get a table and also had a chance at the pool table. It was $2 with coin ingested machines. Got the cocunut rum. The vibe was really good outside in the open space. Will return. Parking situation could have been better. read more

The Jackalope - South Shore - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Interesting layout with lots of spaces within the bar. For example, a gambling lounge (machines), karaoke lounge called Show Pony, and also part of Copperhead as well. The DJ spinning when we were there was fantastic. Our bartender was fun and attentive. Beers are cheap. Yay. I also really dig the layout of the large patio. read more

This is the only place I have actually handed over my Visa card in the last three years. The day after I handed it over, I started getting illegal charges to online vendors. I've had the same Visa card for 30+ years, and I liked my number. Now I have all new number. I've been going to the Jackalope on Sixth Street for decades, and loved it, but they don't even do the same good hamburger anymore, so Screw Jacklope!!! And screw those criminal bartendresses!! :-( read more

We came here once to take out my cousins and discovered they have a Tuesday steak dinner special, so we ordered that special which comes with Roasted Brussel sprouts that are delicious. Don't really like Brussel sprouts but the way they make it here is soo good. The steak is yummy and tender. We also ordered some drinks and thats where the one less star comes from because of the lack of service from one of the bartenders. She was the representation of selective service and neglect. She would tend to certain customers but we were that group she didn't care to pay attention to us and dont go to her if you want an old fashioned. If it wasn't for the excellent service and professionalism of the manager, that night would have been a bad experience and would have me upset. He had a talk with her and he took care of us the rest of the time. We were grateful he noticed and took over. The place has a dim bar vibe but they have so much room and have an outside area that you can play certain games like cornhole etc. TVs around read more

My friends and I had a total blast here. It's connected to copperhead with a large outdoor area in between. There are so many things to do, it's kind of like an adult playground with beer!! We played pool, cornhole, karaoke, swings... we had no issues with drinks or service. Didn't try food. This is easily one of my new faves. read more

Food and ambiance were awesome!!! The first bartender we had wasn't superb but the other 2 that also helped were awesome!!! I highly recommend the pickle flavored wings! read more

I love going to Jackalope South Shore! I went during the day and was served by Brittany and Trey and they absolutely MADE MY DAY! They gave excellent and speedy service with a smile and a positive attitude! They truly changed day and experience for the better! Go see them for Sunday Funday! read more

Joined Yelp just to review the fact that this "sports bar" apparently lets the clients pick the games on Sunday and once chosen no one else can get it changed. Buzz Mill has $3.25 PBR and at least they don't choose to not put on games. Very disappointing experience as per usual if I am being honest. Basically if you don't know the bartenders don't bother. No beer menu but $7 for a Shiner and showing volleyball during peak football season. read more

I've been here twice and loved it each time. The first time was on a weekend night a few years ago with my fiancé for the bar scene, and we had a great time chatting with our friends & playing cornhole. The second time was this past Monday, to celebrate a flag football championship with my team. I got food this time around, and all of it was delicious. Their burger was 5/5, their sweet potato tots were also 5/5, and the corn dogs were a solid 4.5/5. Fries were just okay. Also, the bartender Sam was very friendly and she did a good job working the bar. read more

Such a bitchy bar tender, restrooms terrible, not very fun environment.... Maybe have someone else start the day here will bring a happy vibe and then have her close it down with a mess of drunk people so maybe she can put a smile on and learn a lesson. read more

Service Only reason it's not a 1 because I was given a refund on my half of my order which was originally incorrect to begin with.

Great space! Cool outdoor area and even cooler small indoor lounge w stage and place to hear intimate live music!

Went to Jackalope on 6th growing up here and used to love it, however, haven't been in a decade because I can't deal with 6th anymore. Love east and riverside so was excited to check this spot out. Pros: very spacious inside and outside, it's actually two sister bars across from each other which confused us when we first arrived. We enjoyed the food! The burger was large and juicy. The wings were also large and just the right amount of crispy. The show stopper was the sweet potato tatter tots. Hands down the best tots we've ever had! Cons: bartenders aren't friendly. Typical dive bar vibe. Not personable, seemed to rush, and when we asked questions they seemed annoyed and not wanting to help. They definitely favor the regulars here. read more

As long as you don't get food here, the place is cool. 0/3 in getting my order correct for a place with a huge sign advertising their burger. Bummer I'll never get to try it. You get like 4 waffle fries in an order too that you have to pay extra for. Cool atmosphere though. read more

So this place was adorable. The staff was friendly, karaoke section was good and the food was hot and prompt. Not too much bad to say except the bathroom wasn't the best. The doors are weird so you can be walked in on and the space was cramped. But I'd still go back for a good time. read more

Fun local bar, good bar food (I'm all about the sweet potato tots), decent bartenders, nice outdoor area with cornhole... please for the love of god replace the women's bathroom stall doors!! What exactly were y'all on to decide to put saloon style doors on toilet stalls?? Everyone knows American style stalls have huge gaps- but what could be even better? A gap in the middle. Staring you in the eyes. With a "watch your fingers" warning so you don't get pinched. And no lock because IT DOESNT WORK ON SALOON STYLE DOORS. Y'all put in slot machines and a karaoke bar... GIVE ME A BATHROOM DOOR!! read more

--------UPDATE--------- I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty disappointed in the management here. I came back as a regular, after being gone for two years from this place. Because two years ago, I was heavily disrespected by a bartender.(Kelly) I decided to come back about two months ago, and regave it a shot. I fell in love with Jason, Shoop, Daniel, & Andrew. Honorable mentions to Josh & even Daisy & Chris. Let's not forget Sam from copperhead. I feel like I spent time, coming back and reconnecting to feel let down by the way my favorite staff having low morale. As a regular, I just feel like the focus isn't where it should be. I've seen a couple examples of the way Lindsey has spoken to staff. Being 9+ years in the industry and even considering working here, yeah. That aint it. I left a review about Daniel and Jason about two months ago about how happy I was to be back and find my spot. To only find out, shits still shit. I decided to come to Fraziers today, instead of jackalope. P.S. Idk who the short dude with the beard and glasses is, but he's brand new and abrasive. Bad vibes! Do better Jackalope(Jason/Lindsay) FYI,y previous review was five stars. read more

I hate to write reviews but it gets a to a point to warrant one. Debatably the worst service anywhere in Austin. We had girls go up vrs guys and I mean come on.... We all want drinks and food and the bartenders marked serious awareness and common sense. Never have I waited half an hour for a drink ever after speaking with them and flagging them down. read more

This is mine and my partners go-to neighborhood bar, and probably our favorite spot in Austin. It is connected to Copperhead bar with a big patio, so there's drink and space options everywhere. They have cocktails, draft beer, seltzers, and frozen drinks. They also have a kitchen open super late which is really convenient! The staff is always really nice and shout-out to our favorite bartender Daniel, he is the best!! read more

As I approach my mid 30s, I decided that I really don't like packed loud bars where all you do is stand and drink. So in my search for alternatives, I was lucky enough to stumble upon this spot. They have some games, tons of pool tables and sitting tables, and some solid bar food and drinks for a decent price. Bring your friends bring your pups! read more

Whatever you do. Pay in cash and if you don't keep your receipt. They just keep charging my card. Gotta love Austin.

Staff are incredibly rude and inefficient, borderline moronic. Anyone coming to this place is not here for them though so if polite and efficient staff are important to you then you will not be comfortable here. Locals come here for the vibes, food and entertainment which are always on point. read more

Came in on Sunday to sit with my husband for the Texans game. Every game was on the tv, which my husband loved. Food was way better than I anticipated, one of my favorite Chicken Caesar Salads I've had & we loved the Chopped Cheese Quesadilla. Jorge was super accommodating and attentive, even as more and more people came in we were always quickly serviced when needed. Also, the playlist he had on slapped. read more
