    Love this place! Great spot downtown for German beers. Friendly staff, inside and outside areas, and a food truck in the back.

    Nice little spot of Belgian beers! Spouse got the Bavik Super Pils. He said it was light and crispy beer for summer days. There is a deck at front and at the back of the establishment as well. Service is quick. Staff is nice. We would be definitely be back here to try other beers offered at this place.

    Awesome authentic Belgian Bar serving the classics as well as some newer varieties. Super friendly and welcoming/helpful staff that will help you navigate the abundance of great beers they have. Would recommend the Kwak not only for it's fun wooden stand but it's amazing taste too! There are also beers to takeaway in the fridge at the front.

    Fantastic craft beer place. Best I've been to in years. Draft beers are amazing. All-gender bathrooms. Great service (MJ and Andrew). Out Of Nowhere food truck (Miriam) is excellent. Provides water for adequate hydration.

    Best place to get a Belgium beer experience in Austin. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about all their beers if you need a suggestion. Just tell them what you like and don't like and they will find something for you!

    An amazing place with a great selection of beers! The general manager McBee is the best possible bartender you could have. Very friendly and makes you feel right at home! I recommend the Brune and St.Bernadus

  • 3/5 Raz L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a mixed experience. Came twice - first time was awesome, bar tender was friendly and helpful. Second time I sat for 10 minutes, barman stopped by to say he'll be back in a bit and then he never showed up but was chatting with other customers. Atmosphere and selection of beers are both great, would 5 star for these.

  • 5/5 Zac W. 5 months ago on Google
    Outstanding beer selection, appropriate glassware, and trained pouring technique. Quiet bar downtown with a quality food truck out back. The bar keeper was friendly. As the sign suggests, they serve Belgian beers. If that's your style you won't find a better venue. If you're after a cheap domestic beer, look elsewhere.

    Great music volume, it’s low enough to continue a conversation without feeling awkward but high enough to enjoy it. Lighting is perfect to allow your attention to be on the one you’re with. Beautiful bar and setting. Friendly and helpful staff and the food truck in the back is delicious. Get cheese curds! Perfect size venue for intimate setting. Also, the beer and wine is delicious ❤️ We are a gothic version of Mary Poppins and Mr Dawes.

    I haven't been this happy about finding a new bar in a decade or more. The best Belgian tap list I've ever seen.

  • 2/5 Stephen G. 5 months ago on Google
    Overpriced for what it is. 2 quads were about $30. An okay selection but nothing mind blowing that you can’t get elsewhere in my opinion. And there is *only Belgian beer*, nothing else at all, which in and of itself is fine. I like Belgian beer, but with all the reviews I was hoping for some other more obscure options I guess. One person came in asking for something non-Belgian. Which is fairly innocuous but the bartender was condescending towards them. He also was pretty inattentive otherwise. Wouldn’t go back in a hurry. that said if you’re all about Belgian beer, go for it, hopefully your experience is better than mine.

    I am a huge fan of Belgian beers and this is the best place in town. The staff is very friendly and you have lot of options to choose from. They have almost 24 or more beers on tap and lot more options for bottles. One of the great thing is they have separate glass for alll different kinds of beers.

  • 5/5 Derek T. 6 months ago on Google
    If you like Belgian beer this is the place to be. Stopped in for a few drinks after dinner and was amazed by their huge taplist of Belgian staples and the abundance of proper glassware. Great ambiance and the bartenders put a lot of care into every pour.

    Super place. Beer selection is great, friendly environment and food truck offers really tasty food. We had the mushroom burger and Cajun seasoned wings.

  • 4/5 Brittany D. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a fun experience! They did have wine for those of you who don’t like beer! Wine was good. Their choices in Belgian beer was good and they are served in cool glasses. Lol. It was pricey, but that’s Austin, in my opinion. But it’s a neat little place to escape to for a minute. Location is great and there’s outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 awongprom 2 years ago on Google
    BEST bar period! In the Universe actually. I drink alot of Beer. (Disclaimer, I've never been to Belgium.) Best bar tho - in Texas. (I've been to alot!)

  • 5/5 Anna Y. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite bars of all time. I walked in on my birthday planning for a short visit, but I ended up staying for hours after feeling immediately welcome by the staff. This experience really made my birthday even better. Piper and Brian are the best bartenders EVER. The selection of great beer was amazing. I would drop in every weekend if I lived in Austin.

  • 5/5 Glenn M. 1 year ago on Google
    Belgian beer is absolutely my favorite. It's what got me interested in American craft beer 20 years ago. Diverse selection of both tap and bottle. Top notch food truck outback. Every city needs one of these!

  • 5/5 Evan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely bar in downtown Austin for Belgian beer lovers and beginners. Prices are really good for European imported beers and the general vibe is very comfortable and relaxed.

  • 5/5 Bill C. 2 years ago on Google
    Didn't know we had a Belgian bar in Austin. Excellent selection of draft and bottled beers from Belgium. We liked it and will be back!

  • 5/5 Brady O. 1 year ago on Google
    Really friendly and accommodating staff. Some really delicious beer you can't necessarily find at most bars. Nice place to walk to when staying downtown.

  • 5/5 Will H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Belgian beer bar in downtown Austin. Be careful with the bike lanes Bird Scooters can quick. The bar has a assortment of classic and hard to find Belgian beers and occasionally has Jester king on tap.
