This place really has that Cheers vibe that's getting harder and harder to find. The bartenders are welcoming, personable, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. The service is always great, and you never feel like you're just another customer sitting at the bar. It's the kind of place where you can stop in by yourself, have a drink, chat with the bartenders, and feel completely comfortable--or bring your friends and settle in for a good time. Everyone is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the service makes you want to keep coming back. It just feels like a real neighborhood bar, where you walk in and feel welcome. And honestly, that's exactly what I want in a local bar. read more

My favorite neighborhood bar. Great drinks and super affordable. Bartenders are fun to talk to, especially the mustached guy. Solid food and open everyday till 2am. read more

A five star Dive Bar? What? Listen, if you want a dive bar that will sell you a nice pint and a burger, this is the place for you. I was impressed on how clean it was inside and how friendly everybody was. The beers were cold and fresh. The big surprise was the burger and fries. Probably the best I have had in a divey bar. Big kudos to the fries! Some of the best. From the outside, it looks a little weird, but once you step inside, you are in for a big surprise! I hope to come back to this place, especially since its down the street from my buddy! read more

We tried something new and found the Walnut Creek Pub on Yelp. We ordered the onion rings, chicken sandwich, wedge salad, and Korean chicken wings. Unfortunately, they were out of lettuce for the wedge salad, so they used sliced lettuce as a substitute, which was the only other option available. The burnt ends in the salad were quite tough and hard to chew. The onion rings were a bit too greasy for my partner, who usually enjoys very greasy foods and couldn't finish them. The Korean chicken wings didn't quite taste like Korean barbecue and lacked flavor. On a positive note, we enjoyed playing darts on their legit dart boards. Overall, this pub is a fun spot, especially if you're looking for entertainment and don't mind the food experience. read more

Had to do another review. The burgers here are INCREDIBLE. Service is great. Friendly and accommodating bartender. Inexpensive and homemade drinks. Can't beat the prices ANYWHERE in town! This place is small, but a great happy hour place. read more

First time coming here and I liked the vibe. After spending some time inside we headed to the backyard and with this beautiful weather, we enjoyed the rest of our late afternoon/evening get together. I liked the overloaded fries! read more

I love coming here! Happy hour anytime you walk in. The bartenders are always friendly even if they get busy. The burgers and wings are always so good. It's a neighborhood bar that makes you feel right at home. Bingo on Thursdays with Zac is always a great time! Highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a local bar with great food and awesome vibes. read more

A neighborhood pub has no reason to serve such good food and drinks, but WCP consistently leaves me impressed. Full of regulars, and with special events throughout the week, the smoky old fashioned and everything from the kitchen are worth a stop. read more

Dog friendly with a nice patio out front and in the back of the pub. This might be one of Austin's best kept secrets. The Korean fried chicken sandwich was 10/10 and if it's any indication of the quality and flavor the rest of the menu has you know you can't go wrong. Services was great and I can in during happy hour. The frozen mango lemonade is phenomenal. Didn't take a picture of the food because I couldn't wait to dive in but I'll be back again. read more

Walnut Creek Pub is a fantastic neighborhood pub with great food and drink deals throughout the week! It's perfect for grabbing a drink with friends, playing some games, and enjoying some tasty pub food at reasonable prices. FAST FACTS: * Parking - small lot around the side and back of the restaurant * Online ordering - you order through a QR code at the table when you arrive * Happy hour - Monday through Friday from 4:00 - 7:00 pm with $1 off beers, wine, & mixed drinks and food deals * Mondays - 1/2 off burgers & game night * Tuesdays - 1/2 off wings (bone in or boneless) * Wednesdays - trivia from 7:00 - 9:00 pm (free to play w/ a $30 grand prize) * Thursdays - $5 craft drafts & BINGO from 7:00 - 9:00 pm (free to play) * Saturdays & Sundays - $3 mimosas & $12 brisket and pork belly sandwich from 12:00 - 3:00 pm & 15% off everything from 5:00 pm - 12:00 am * Sign up for their text messages and get a coupon for 50 cent wings! * Dog friendly patio area SERVICE - Walk in, grab an open table, and order using the QR code on the table. The food all came out quickly and was served hot. The workers I interacted with including food runners and the bartender were all friendly! PRICING - The total was $61.16 after tax ($4.66) but before tip for smokin' fries ($16), spicy cheese curds ($10), 5 wings ($0.50 each using a coupon code), pub burger with fries ($12 + $2 to add fries), and Korean chicken sandwich with fries ($12 + $2 to add fries). I think the pricing is reasonable for the portion size. SMOKIN' FRIES (7/10) - Great appetizer! The fries were all hot and crispy... even the ones at the bottom under all the toppings didn't get soggy. The BBQ sauce is sweet which is a nice contrast with the savory flavors. You get a decent amount of brisket for the price. I'd order this again! SPICY CHEESE CURDS (8/10) - How can fried cheese be bad?! They aren't really spicy but the texture is great... they are hot and crispy and go really well with the cold ranch. I'd order this again! WINGS (7/10) - Pretty good wings (especially when they're discounted). The garlic parmesan rub had good flavor, the chicken was fried well, and the wings were a good size. You get a few celery sticks on the side and get to pick between ranch or blue cheese on the side. I'd order these again on a Tuesday when they're half off but probably couldn't pay the full price for them. PUB BUGER (8/10) - Great burger! The smash patties are a good size and had the perfect crispy texture around the edges with the melted American cheese between each. You have the option to add more patties, brisket, pork belly, or jalapeños for an added cost. The toppings (lettuce, onion, and pickles) were all fresh, the potato bun had a great toast, and the garlic aioli added a nice flavor. You can add a side of fries for $2. I'd DEFINITELY order this again (getting it 1/2 off on Mondays is a fantastic deal). KOREAN CHICKEN SANDWICH (6/10) - This was a good sandwich but just a little too saucy. The chicken was cooked well and stayed juicy but was overpowered by the Korean BBQ sauce. The slaw and ranch dressing were refreshing but it was a little hard to eat from all the sauce. Again, you can add a side of fries for $2. I wouldn't order this again but would love to try their basic spicy chicken sandwich instead! I found Walnut Creek Pub when I was looking for places to play trivia on Wednesday night and had a great time! It definitely seems like the kind of place with regulars, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'm not a drinker but the food was good and the trivia was a lot of fun. I'll definitely be back and recommend Walnut Creek Pub to others looking for a neighborhood pub or place to play games during the week! read more

I'm sitting at a 3.5-3.75... we came for trivia night and had a good time! I will probably be back for trivia night even though they were quite difficult questions (it's open ended). I also love the small local pub vibe and the QR scanning app to order. The people are fast and very nice. They have a good deal where you get 50 cent wings if you text the number on their website and good deals on union (the qr menu). We tried to go for "happy hour" but I didn't really see a special menu for that. The downsides... the wings are the tiniest most salty things I've had in a very long time. I get inflation but it actually kinda felt like scraps... the celery same thing. They also felt a little overcooked?? but also slightly pink somehow??? It reminded me of chicken jerky (they might smoke it or smth? because it definitely wasn't undercooked). We tried all three dry rub flavors and the best imo was spicy ranch (good kick but hella salty), lemon pepper then garlic parm (no flavor). We also got fried pickles which were HUGE pickle slices so it wasn't very crispy. I honestly felt a little ill after. The fries looked good though but if I came back I would probably just get snacks and drinks (the drinks are pretty strong tasting too). I also feel that they should have a sign reminding people to close out their online tab too because for some reason we thought that if you closed your tab at the bar, the online tab will close as well... maybe a better system to link them or just have a sign reminding patrons that they are separate bc we got charged a 20 dollar fee :( read more

Had the Pub Burger w/ Jalapenos and Coke. Great tasting burger. Fries were decent, but I do prefer crinkle-cut fries.

Love Walnut Creek pub. This place is so darn cozy, it'll be my spot always I recommend this place to everyone! The food is great, ambiance is like home, Joe and Katlynn are the best. New owner Brent is killing it. read more

I really enjoy this place! This used to be Smoking Beauty which was also good and had the best Frito pie. However, they've changed up the concept to be more like a pub and the food has changed to wings. The wings are tasty and they even have a special if you sign up as part of their friends promo to get texts/messaging. I think it's like 50c wings--deal good up to a week. That being said it's just like a neighborhood bar and I plan on coming here more often. They've got a small selection of beers and cocktails that will hit the spot when you're looking for a casual place to watch football or play trivia. I recommend the floradora cocktail or tipsy Texan. Also the fries are delicious read more

Ok, this place deserves a 10 out of 10! Such a small comfort neighborhood bar. These are the types of small local businesses that I adore. They' don't offer your typical bar food, they took it up a notch by smoking their own meats! From smoked brisket faves to wings, this place is easily a Texan neighborhood gem. The service is not only welcoming but helpful when it comes to beer and food selections. I totally recommend this place! read more

I was devastated to see Smokin' Beauty go as I loved the vietnamese/bbq fusion menu, drinks and live music. But then I learned that Walnut Creek Pub is a rebranding from the same owner so I decided to check it out. The ambience is pretty much the same-intimate and divey. There are bar games like a table version of the ring game, jenga and cornhole (outside) for patrons to enjou. One of the bartenders, Daniel, was very friendly and welcoming. He also filled us in and answered a lot of the questions that we had about the new place. I dreamed out loud if there could be a secret menu of food items from the previous restaurant (I'm imagining the brisket and pork belly banh mis, king fries, brussel sprouts...yum!) but as of right now there aren't any plans for that. Daniel explained that the owner is now going more for a bar feel than a restaurant to standout amongst the other establishments in the area, which makes sense. He also added that the owner is still passionate about bbq so they plan to have special events where they will host bbqs. (Stay tuned on their fb page!) I'm local to this area, so as much as I'm sad to see a delicious and unique concept for a restaurant go, I'm pleased that there is a new local watering hole that provides new options aside from the Domain. The service is friendly and the food menu is small, but done well, which I appreciate from any restaurant. In terms of food, I must have been on a cheese kick because I ordered the fried mac & cheese and the cheese curds. Both were similar and delicious but I preferred cheese curds overall because the mac and cheese retained their heat in the center for a longer time which made them difficult to enjoy. They came with a tangy sweet and sour sauce that had a little bit of a kick. For drinks we had the Guava Sutra, Floradora and Tipsy Texan. They were all good but on a cold winter night, the Tipsy Texan with its cranberry and ginger ale flavor was a standout. Happy hour is from 4-7 so make sure to check this place out when you're looking to get out of the house for a chill evening! read more

I want to like this place and I have given it multiple tries, but every single time I go, we are overcharged or our food comes out almost comically late. Once they brought us the fries we ordered for the table as we were getting up to leave and we had been there for a very long time. To add insult to injury, we got home we saw that we had been charged twice for a large order of fries when we had only ordered a side. There are also undisclosed ingredients. Surprise jalapeños aren't for me. If you're going to put them in a sandwich, make sure folks buying it are aware. read more

Stopped in to check out Walnut Creek Pub on a Wed night and they had trivia which started at 7pm. Fun vibe and definitely chill bar scene. We signed up for their text messages, the deal at the moment is 50¢ wings when you sign up (up to 10 wings). We ordered some drinks and practically ordered all their wing flavors as a table. Everything was pretty good, buffalo hot could have been hotter, but flavor was there. I enjoyed their lemon pepper the best. Spicy cheese curds and fried pickles were great- not sure what dipping sauce that came with the pickles was, but I loved it. It had a good kick. Will return soon! read more

New neighborhood bar, that checks off all the boxes. Really good, crispy wings with yummy flavors. Probably the best lemon pepper wings that we've found in Austin so far. Most places either miss the mark with the lemon flavor or just do not include enough seasoning. This place does it right, with the perfect amount of butter, salty, and zest. Chill space with decent bar games. Trivia on Wednesday. Darts. Tons of TVs with games playing. We'll definitely be back. read more

The wings and fried pickles here are great! The Korean chicken sandwich could have used more coleslaw, and I really think it should come with fries or coleslaw on the side.... The chicken in my sandwich was not very big. Didn't get drinks this time but I heard the drinks were good here too. read more

Excellent cozy BBQ place to grab a bite and a pint. Cool spot to just hang out or watch some sports. Great drinks and some good food specials on occasion. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Be sure to subscribe to their text messages via their website or Facebook page or whatever for some nice deals randomly texted to you. One recent example was a chopped brisket sandwich for only $5 but the deal was for one Sunday only. The sandwiches was super delicious with lots of meat! The beers on tap usually agree with my tastes and one of the drafts is usually on special when I pop in randomly. The BBQ here is really good. Five stars even though the parking spaces are sometimes, but not always, limited during peak hours. read more

I'm hesitant to write a 5 star review because I don't want this place to blow up. But the truth is this might be the best bar in austin. Incredible bar food. Strong drinks. All fair priced. Easy ordering and great service. The bartenders will make you want to sit there all day. Plenty of TVs and always playing sports. Great place to bring a group of friends or just sit at the bar and make new ones. Truly a gem of a bar. read more

Great cocktails and little entertainment area for live bands. Love the Korean style chicken sandwich and when they offer bbq.

Nice place the fries are amazing and the wings are really good great little place check it out.

Went to this place last night for the first time with high hopes.... Yeah no spent $60 on 4 light beers 2 being modelo and the other 2 were bottled miller lites (didn't want modelo or miller in the first place but these are the only options that made sense considering what was available) Also got 2 tiny overpriced food items and all in all left the place without a buzz and still hungry... $10.25 for an electric jellyfish..that is all I have to say on that. Apparently I went on service industry Sunday too. They advertised that on Sundays all food and drink would be %15 off. Obviously I did not get that discount even when I mentioned it or at least it didn't appear so... I was barely at this place for an hour I couldn't keep myself to stay, and I really wanted to have a good experience it seemed promising. Only good part about my experience was the bartender. Nothing crazy she was just kind and welcoming when everything else wasn't the best. read more
