Cain and Abel Loved the wood in the open bar area. We had the nachos very good. Then we Shared the chicken fried steak sandwich . Too chewy but the fries were food. Great beer and fresh margaritas

Great place to grab casual drinks. The service quality depends on who's working, but everyone is friendly and easy to talk to. Just a warning, dollar beer nights can get messy so be prepared.

Social News Network

If you're driving on a Tuesday or Thursday night, consider walking from a block-or-two away as the lot behind the bar can fill up fast on Tuesday's "dollar beer night " and "Thirsty Thursdays".

Martin Richardson

Was here on a Monday afternoon so fairly quiet . Good place still for a drink (63 beers on tap ) and some food.

Josh A

It's a campus bar . Definitely a campus bar . Good number of taps. Cheap top shelves on Sunday nights but don't expect a cocktail or "bartenders ."

Phoebe

Popular for so many other things, but I especially love their early-morning breakfast tacos . The chorizo , egg and cheese one made my day.

GameUp

Great chicken sandwich , while you are eating don't forget to connect with your friends during Texas games using GameUp! Born right here in Austin, TX. Available on the iTunes App Store, Read more

Harry Fielder

Great beer selection , love the atmosphere and enjoy going there regularly!

macon leiper

I love this place for a good late lunch and cold beer . The bartender is friendly and they have a great tap selection .

Alan Wagner

Great place to have a beer and chill . Lots of brews on tap .

Cassandra Hernandez

Nikki is the best bartender in the history of bartenders

Jeff Weinstein

A total UT undergrad mess in the best possible way. Long island ice tea will knock you out for a few hours.

Alison Steele

Tuesday night dollar beers and Texas teas - that's all you need to know!

Lindsay Garrett

They advertise 63 beers on tap but they don't seem to know anything about beer ....not to mention they didn't have the first two I ordered. We'll see if the burger is any good for 6.95 (on special)

Jenna Overbeck

WARNING: Watch out for the 95-pound-abels-man. He will steal your baked chips and spicy ranch . What might result in a ruined night just incites more elicit Texas Tea drinking

Sandeep Ganapatiraju

Nice copl bar Roth lots of options and college crowd atmo

ATX Followers

Great place to be for dollar beer night as long as you don't mind an almost completely college aged crowd.

Estefania Llanos

Try the bacon bleu burger it's delicious! $8 Texas teas on Thursdays and Sunday Funday are my favorite deals!

William

Must come on Tuesdays. It doesn't matter how thirsty you are, domestics are only a dollar.

Grace Martindale

If you want something from the kitchen be prepared to go order it yourself.

Vinay Bhat

Try the Texas Tea ! You won't be disappointed.

Kat Rudberg

Campus rating bump in effect here. If you want cheap drinks , outdoor seating , and the undergrad scene, this place is for you. If you care about quality of food, preparation, and service, AVOID.

Ryan Alt

Ask for Cody, he's the man.

I Realty Connect

You can order pizza from the beer line .

Dylan Heimbrock

Better watch out, if you're here to watch venutainment it uses the metric system!

Matthew Gordon

Slow service, mediocre food. Outdoor seating is nice, but not enough to make up for taking 30 minutes before your first drink arrives.

Kyle James

Tuesday is Dollar Beers !

Ryan C.

Ask fr bartenders Courtney or Brooke, they make strong Texas Teas !!

Priyanka Garud

Texas tea must try !!!!

SarahAshley

The stuffed jalepeños are amazing!

Matt King

Avacado Cheeseburger for the win. Get chips and a side of ranch.

Tiffany Leung

Texas Tea . That is all you need

Laura Wallace

Cold beer ????

Robert Chavez

Dollar beer Tuesdays ! Cali chicken is good

Kimberly Bolton

Taboo for underclassmen to go, this bar is for the junior/senior crowd. Really strict on ID's.

Peter Gonzalez

Get the 512 Burger , you won't regret it

Aaron Motsinger

They've managed to turn the cool bar in west campus into an awful, sheisty place

Sean R.

63 beers on tap .. Great daydrinking spot.

Ke_dollarsign_ha

I concur with the cheap date in addition to other tempestuous frolicking

Victoria Daughtrey

Dollar beer night is nice, staff is fast and patient, but the fratty crowd that plauges this place is downright rude, pushy and horrible to be around.

Armie

This place is an institution !

Ryan H

Dollar beer night on Tuesday. West Campus hang out.

Katie Clausen

Chipotle ranch is awesome!!!

Aaron Motsinger

Stuffed jalapenos are ABSOLUTELY worth the price

Roy Vasquez

Bevo Teas . $8. So worth it.

Juan Nino

Sunday funday and dollar beer night !

Mercedes Pang

Sarah Coffman

Thursday night $8 Texas Teas

Jessica Jazdzewski

Walked out- took 20 minutes to get a lunch menu and then the waitress never returned to take my order.

Mercedes Pang

I'm a little disappointed their veggie burger comes from a box.
