We didn't even realize that Pinthouse Brewing had a sourdough crust (apparently not all locations…read moredo), so that was such a fun surprise. The sourdough pizza was really good--almost like a focaccia/Detroit-style hybrid, but with the sauce layered on the bottom. Super flavorful, crispy edges, soft inside... honestly just hit. Also--my husband was way too excited (in the best way) to see boiled peanuts on the menu, so of course we had to start there. Great call. We'll definitely be back.

However, be wary of attending events here! We've been a couple of times now, both with live music, the latest during SXSW, when its just a shit show. 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.

This time was a post-game rally after barely surviving Two Step Inn as Wyatt Flores, who had his set cancelled due to the inclement weather, and Evan Honer announced they were gonna play some songs in this honky tonk. I was there. It's a great bar and venue with pool tables, a large bar, plenty of seating, a decent stage, and a nice outdoor space. 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! I wanna come back here more because the vibes were great through the night! Long live the honky tonk! RIYL: Two Steppin

The ambiance is really fun and unique, especially with the little water pond that adds a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe. There's a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, so it works for different moods and weather.

I also like that there are food trucks right outside, which makes grabbing a bite super convenient. Plus, the large parking lot is a nice bonus. Overall, it's a really solid, easygoing spot for hanging out or going on a casual date.

The coffee is spot on as at the other location. Shared an iced butterscotch latte with my boyfriend and it was yumx2. There are similar interior decor elements but the exterior spaces differ slightly. Saltillo is more industrial and city. This location is huge with lots of outdoor seating as well as indoor. They've got a mini food truck park (3 trucks), koi pond, chickens, nature, etc. It's definitely a great spot for families with kids and larger gatherings of folks. Just like "our" location, service is exceptional. Everyone was so good to Sir Benjamin. He was so relaxed and chill during our hangout. It's that peaceful vibe that comes with good service and pretty landscaping.

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. Grab one of their salads to round out the meal. They do not disappoint. As many times as I've been here, I have yet to stray from the pizzas but look forward to trying the sandwiches and calzones. 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. If you're South of Ben White and east of MoPac, Aviator is the spot for pizza. In the words of my daughter "it eats, no crumbs".

Who doesn't like cold pizza! It definitely did not come cold! Pipping hot ! Perfect amount of sauce and a nice thin crispy crust. They even added parm cheese and pepper packets on the side. A great addition! It was loaded with tons of pepperoni! They did not skimp on pepperoni or the cheese! I would say the service they put into making this pizza was totally 5 stars for sure! I will be back-hopefully to go inside for the full experience.
