    This was my favorite hang outs in Austin where I could just chill. They had the best beer selection that you will ever find. There was delicious food, a fun and lively atmosphere with inside and outside seating. It was a great experience overall. Plus they had terrific live music. Our bartender McKenzie was super helpful, personable, professional and really cool! She was truly a Rock Star. I would go back to Austin just to hang here!

    The beer selection was insane! In a good way of course. Over 100 beers can be overwhelming but the bartenders were friendly and loved talking people through the options and offered tastings. Not a lot of seating inside but a bunch outside. Also one of the few places on Rainey street open before 4. The beer was very well priced better then most of the other beer gardens. Will be back for some homemade sausages.

    Awesome venue for a lunch with friends. We had to wait about an hour but it was worth it for the awesome meat and beer choices. The ribs weren’t the best I’ve had but the Kielbasa (and other sausages) are a must. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

    Cool beer garden with great food. The menu consists of appetizers and sausages. We started with the fried pickles and pretzel, followed by banger and mash. All three dishes were delicious. They also have a massive number of craft beers on tap. No cash accepted, only cards.

    Such a fun place!! We went on a Saturday morning and it was super busy. We waited about an hour for a table but since you're able to order drinks, apps, and hang out, it didn't feel so bad. The atmosphere was fun and the live band was agreeable but not too loud so as to interrupt conversation. The apps were so good!! The boudin balls were tasty and I'm not a boudin fan. My andouille sausage burger was so delicious and spicy! Our server was a trooper!! He looked busy but he still made his way over to us often and made sure we were all taken care of. This place was great!! It's been added to our "must go" during our stops in Austin

    Bangers easily has the largest selection of beer of any establishment I've visited. They have two bars with over a hundred unique taps a piece! The bartenders were very knowledgeable and helpful about the selection.

    We bumped into this place as we were passing by and we were attracted by the cool vibes, the several available areas with huge tables and the live music. We tried couple of beers from their wide selection and had the sharing sausage platter. All quite tasty - especially the homemade biscuit. Every server is super smiley, which makes the whole stay there even more pleasant.

    This place is delicious, with a beer selection that’s bordering on insane and options for everyone to eat (including vegetarians). If you’re with a group and looking to hang and chat, this is a great place where the vibes are all about connecting over simple but good dishes in a fun atmosphere. One of those surprisingly great places down on Rainey. Definitely worth checking out.

    Brunch!! I would recommend anyone to go there for brunch because of their “manmosas”. They will be keeping tabs on you after your drink one because it contains a whole liter of champagne lol. The food was okay with potato hash which was hard to eat because it was thin. Pancakes were definitely the best part of the meal. Other than that, they often have a brass band playing during brunch times and great outdoor seating when there is nice weather. I would return with visiting friends so they can experience Bangers.

    Awesome indoor and outdoor spaces for beer and brats. Love the offering of non-pork options too for those that don’t eat pork. Drunken Chicken was YUM! Great beer selection too.

    This place is huge and I am told it is the only restaurant on the street. The food here is very good especially if you’d like sausage! They have a massive beer garden and beer wall of taps. Definitely a place to visit and enjoy some time with friends good food and good beer.

    The beer selection was fantastic. Service was so good. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. We did have to wait for about 30 min for a table even though it looked like there was tons of room. Not sure what that was about. But we had a beer while we waited. The food was good! Lots of choices.

    A great bar, coming from England, this feels like a pub, as it is in Austin, of course it has live music, great food and a huge selection of alcohol. I really liked the food. I arrived at 11 am feeling hungover from nearby 6th street. Looked at the fried pickle, thought no, but dared it…amazing…hangover cure…who would have thought it?

  • 5/5 Nelson R. 4 months ago on Google
    If you are here, you must try this place. Beer, food, service and price are def an A+. plenty of seating out or inside. The app is a plus and food is cooked on time. I went full appetizer, but friends went all out. Highly recommend it.

    One of my favorite places to visit in ATX! Food 10/10 Beer selection 10/10 Live music 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 (bathrooms are always clean) There is nothing on this menu that I haven’t tried and recommend everything! My favorite is the jalapeño & Cheddar bratwurst!

  • 5/5 E T. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the best part of a trip to Austin. Sausage and beer were delicious, and it was so much more convenient to order and pay from a table. Atmosphere was great, outdoor seating had nice background music.

  • 4/5 Tim C. 5 months ago on Google
    Over 200 beers on tap! Went on a Sunday afternoon. The hostesses and bartenders are welcoming and friendly. They had live music for the couple hours that we were there. We sat on communal tables and made friends with the folks next to us. You order food from their app and it comes out pretty quickly. All the food that we tried was good and I’ll definitely be making my way back to try more dishes. It’s worth the stop if you’re on Rainey street. Good vibes, good food, good for big groups. Also dog friendly!

  • 5/5 Jose M. 7 months ago on Google
    Very friendly staff, large outdoor patio, dog friendly, indoor seating, contact less menu and bill pay (allows to split by amount or evenly ONLY), live music and of course their famous manmosa. Parking is expensive (lots or street parking if you're lucky)

    For someone who despises anything involving sausage, I did not expect to even give Bangers a try, but I'm so glad I did! The pulled pork sandwich and sides were delicious. My friend said that her andouille sausage sandwich was also great, and her fries were some of the best fries I've had. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Our server and all the staff that we encountered were very friendly and had great senses of humor. This is a weird thing to put into a review, but as a girl, I was also super impressed by the fact that they had, not only free women's sanitary products in the restroom, but also free hair ties!

    We went for the Oktoberfest and left impressed. Good food and beer, good service, good entertainment. They were really good about my food allergy and sent the chef out to help me pick something I actually wanted to eat and give me as many choices as possible. Food was all delicious and we liked the beer selection.

  • 5/5 Alexandra E. 5 months ago on Google
    This was SUCH a fun time! The live band was phenomenal and sitting on benches next to other parties made it feel like a backyard BBQ. The food was soooo good! we were blown away by so many dishes! this is a must-go in Austin:)

  • 5/5 vineet d. 9 months ago on Google
    202 beers on tap. Need I say more but even the food, service and atmosphere are incredible. I can't believe that I had not been here before and now I have gone there two days in a row. The jalapeno cheddar and the spicy Italian sausages are great. Also if you are having a hard time deciding the beer - ask for recommendations. All servers have great recommendations and you can get a tasting flight if you are not sure. Make it a point to go Bangers!!

  • 4/5 G B. 5 months ago on Google
    It was a fairly big place and we got seats promptly after arriving without prior reservations. They are proud of a very big beer selection which was extensive. Beer prices were cheaper than usual for Austin. Food was ok but not great, it's not that hard to make French fries if you ask me. Food service was slow too, our orders came whenever but we did not expect anything better. It was pretty nice to find something very affordable close to over-hyped downtown.

  • 5/5 Adriel R. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a cool place with awesome staff. They have a smokehouse attached with a killer menu but we missed out on everything we wanted because we arrived for dinner pretty late. We got a couple of sausages, the fries, Mac and cheese and the black pudding croquettes. The mach and cheese and the croquettes were a absolute must. I mean, you just have to get them. The Mac and cheese was one of the best I've had and I dislike Mac and cheese. The beers also were great with a wide selection. Loved one of the sausages but one of them was a bit to out there for me.

  • 5/5 Metzi M. 2 years ago on Google
    The beer selection is extensive, though i didn’t partake of any. We had the bratwurst with Mac and cheese and the bangers and mash. We were very satisfied with the quality and taste. Their customer service is wonderful.
