The drinks are reasonable priced and the service is good. The food is decent. It's your typical bar food (ie - wings, chicken tenders, fries, etc.). They also Po' Boys and seafood plates. They have a huge space with indoor seating and an outdoor patio. There's tons of TVs everywhere. And the best part is the atmosphere. It's usually packed and people are always into the games. Depending on what game you want to see, I'd recommend coming early to make sure you can get a good seat. But well worth checking out!

You could get a regular breakfast, a sweet treat or something more lunch like. I had the cinnamon roll and it was delicious. It was huge and just the right amount of doughy.

She also had some pink cocktail that she raved about, but I forgot what it's called. They do a jazz brunch on Sundays, which I really really want to check out. I'll definitely be back to this place.

We were definitely underdressed, but the overall vibe is semi-casual with a lot of people dining there before hitting the bars. We got the Smashburger, gumbo, and shrimp Poboy. The gumbo was the best I've ever had. Even though we got the cup size it was very rich and filling. The highlight was our bartender, Rick. He was incredibly attentive, skilled, and even told us a little bit about the history of the place as a former boxing gym. It's hard to find such a down to Earth spot here in Austin and I'm really looking forward to going back.

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.

For me the Salisbury steak was the best I've ever had. I'm from the Midwest and that was a staple but when I got to Cali it was rare to find. Fun fact we own a family restaurant since 1983 and that was on the menu but people really didn't order it like that so we discontinued it. Maybe if it tasted like yalls it would've worked. Anyway whenever we are in Austin again we are coming straight there. I love the popcorn snack before the meal as well and that could've been my dinner by itself. Cool vibe as well throughout so keep up the good work! Oh and the burnt ends grilled cheese was amazing as well and the fries! ALLLLL GOOD!!!

So we thought we would make a whole night of it. Tiffany did make reservations for us for 7pm and even though this is a bar hopping neighborhood, even at 7pm it was pretty busy. Streets were full of people. Anthem had a vibe. I felt the energy as soon as I waked in. The cozy booths with the U shaped seating with plush green velvet fabric. Wait staff wore Hawaiian shirts. Sitting up behind me on a ledge was the Easter Island statue. Insert (Night At The Museum) here, dumb dumb give me gum gum. Anthem was our first stop tonight. Just drinks and a dinner. I ordered the Peach Fuzzy drink. Not too sweet, refreshing, peachy, and beautiful garnish of a flower. I ordered the Yummy Fries which looked like a salad. Gorgeous presentation. Fries were actually waffle sweet potatoes. Pickled ginger, sesame seeds, furikake, aïoli and a few other wonderful ingredients. Could not get over how beautiful everything looked. Presentation outstanding. Service delightful. Had a wonderful time at Anthem. We both did use the ladies rooms before leaving. Inside the bathroom there is a sign about safety and if you need assistants. I did take a picture of it. On our way out, Brian the manager, said good night to us and waved. We later saw Brian at another place. And I'll write about that in my review for that place as well. Brian, you're Doll, thank you for your hospitality.

Salmon Poke (4.5/5) was incredible. Salmon was fresh, creamy and has a nice balance from the nutty sesame dressing. Paired with pickled cucumber was just heaven. We also really enjoyed their crispy nori they served, which can be used to scoop up the poke. The brisket Rangoon (4/5) is a nice take on the collab of Asian and Texas cuisine. Must try! The char-buff cauliflower (3.4/5) was also yummy but unfortunately they went overboard on the sauce. Cocktails were all delicious and you can definitely feel the alcohol.
