    Difficult parking on a busy night, they have more seating than parking available so be prepared to walk. Beautiful venue and fun live music, not to mention excellent beer. Unfortunately the pizza was miserable at best. Very soggy, way too much cheese and as a consequence soaked in grease, and extremely undercooked to the point of the bottom being raw. So raw that you literally could not pick up a single slice, it just fell apart everywhere. The waiter never came back so we never had the chance to say anything. In their defense they were very busy and perhaps do much better on less popular nights. Unfortunately I rank food based on what I was served and won't be returning for a second try.

    I’ve traveled the country going to breweries and this was a top rated spot in Austin. It’s a huge space, outdoor patio seating, limited beer menu but when it’s good you don’t need a bunch of options! The food was great, the muffuletta is highly recommended. Deviled eggs (2) for $3 on a brewery menu great idea! They were delicious and worth the money! Friendly staff and plenty of parking. Great place for meeting a friend or getting work done on a laptop when it’s not busy.

    TLDR: above average beer and a really nice atmosphere came here for a flight and a little snack after work last Friday. First off, I really liked the atmosphere. there is a bunch of outdoor seating, which is always a plus. For drinks I got a flight, so I got a variety of beers. Overall, they were pretty good, however, they don't have a lot of variety in the styles available. I also got a slice of pizza, which was much better than I expected for brewery food. All said and done, it's definitely a spot worth visiting, but isn't the best that Austin has to offer.

    1st time patron. Great outdoor seating!!! Lots of space. Very dog friendly. Inside was spacious and also offered plenty of sitting. I tried the Hell Yes brew 🍺 and it was delicious. Doug Strahan put on a great show! I can’t wait to go again.

    Really awesome Austin vibing venue with delicious beer and pizza. Get the bruschetta too, you won't regret it. Plenty of seating. Wish we could have stayed long enough to see the band tonight on stage!

    I had a friend visit from out of town and had always wanted to try this place so we gave it a shot. So glad we did! First off, the place is huge! They have a ton of picnic style tables outside where you can sit and enjoy the sun or shade. You still go inside to order your food though. It was a little too cold for us so we sat inside. They have a large dining room area with a large bar with plenty of bar stools. We sat at the bar. The service at the bar was kind of slow for us but that was because they were trying to keep up with everyone walking in to place an order. It wasn’t that bad, though. The food was well worth the wait. My friend had a burger and I had the Wagyu Beef Pizza which was the first time I had ever eaten Wagyu. I thought to myself where has this beef been my whole life!?!? It was one of the best pizzas I had ever eaten! I don’t know if it was good because of the beef or the sauce they use but it was very delicious. My friend also said that her burger was very delicious and well worth it. I will def be back to this place and look forward to trying other things along the way. Oh and if you are a beer or cider drinker then you will appreciate the many selections that they have.

    Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co. is a warm place to sit back and kick it with friends and family. On the inside there are multiple tables that can fit large numbers of people without ever feeling cramped. While we sat in one section as you enter, there’s a other side for sitting. They have a stage for bands which offer another aspect to this place. There’s also plenty of out door seating, but not recommend when it’s extremely hot out these days. The bar provides multiple taps with workers that know how to provide tips on why to drink. Definitely get the recommendation of those that work at a place that makes beer. We order the wagyu beer pizza and it didn’t disappoint! Definitely gonna try other items on the menu when we go back because that pizza was delicious. Good here is great and we had a great lunch. There are many places to kick back for beers and some food in Austin. Add this to your list of sites to visit because you won’t be disappointed.

    The pizza is absolutely amazing! Met a friend here and had one slice of his and had to come back the next day to get a full pie. Crust is perfectly thin and the sauce has such a good flavor to it. I ordered the house sausage and it was so delicious. They have live music, outside patio, and plenty of beer on top. Was visiting from out of town and would absolutely go back when I’m in town again!

    In Short, It was a good place to kick back a few beers & grub. With a few more details, Parking was difficult and it wasn’t very organized so at the far end people just parked behind each other almost blocking…come and relax on some wood tables and benches outside with some beer, and pizza. The 2 pizzas we had were fantastic. Cooler vibe if they had more music and quicker service during the day bec it can get crowded. Love that it is dog friendly. I’d come back. Overall I recommend this spot so swing by.

    We had our welcome dinner for our wedding in the event space and cannot say enough how wonderful it was. Kelli was so helpful and kind and helped the event go off without a hitch. Our guests loved the food and the atmosphere and loved that they could stay in the main bar space after the party to hang out. Overall it was a wonderful experience working with them, we'd definitely recommend it!

    Love this place! Some of the best beer in the city. Now that I have to be GF I like to drink cider out but sad they they are carrying Austin East Ciders. Their cider is so whack. Should consider carrying Fairweather which is much better quality and beloved in the Austin Beer Industry. Would be 5 stars if y’all had the good apple juice!

    Absolutely one of the very best breweries in Austin! Their beer consistently wins medals, food is great, and the service is on point. They regularly have live music inside and have a great beer garden outside...what's in a name?! We love taking our groups here!! 🍻

    I finally made it to this well known local spot. I was thrown off by the Souther (US) / Italian inspired menu at what I primarily knew to be a “two steppin” spot. They have deviled eggs and pizza. They had live music and people two stepping - to a Texified cover of a 90’s alt rock song. This place seems it like’s to do things it’s own way. Respect. This may not be for everyone but everyone is welcome.

    Back off the road, just across tracks and under some nice shade trees! Solid Beer selection with lots of Lagers and Pilsners! Didn't eat anything but loved the beer.

    This is one of those reviews where I want to give 1 star fir the food but then closer to 5 for the server response to the issue. So I settle on 4 which seems fair but at least making everyone aware... Here goes. Started not great to begin with... The place smells like kibble to me (was it the yeast /brewing process as my husband wondered? But we have eaten at a 100 breweries and I have never smelled this before). There were only a very few beers on tap to choose from, 5. One ipa west coast style (no hazy or NEIPA or sours as are my preferences) but we went with what we could. We were hungry so the availability of some games/puzzles (missing pieces but what can you expect) helped keep kids occupied while waiting. The food came &this is where the real trouble started. The deviled eggs app was ONE egg! Usually, this type of dish includes at least 2 or 3 eggs cut in half. Also there was bacon on it which was not mentioned but this wasn't a huge deal bc the member of our party ordering that isn't the vegetarian. I am. I ordered specifically the vegetarian stuffed peppadews (which was listed correctly on our bill) but they came stuffed with prosciutto under the cheese! I was horrified. I reported this to the staff and initially they didn't say anything and I was preparing a. Nasty review. But luckily then a few minutes later one waitress came over to me and Apologized several times, and another stopped by to as well. They took that off the bill and reduced the rest of the bill as well, an appropriate move. The flies, the hair in my sandwich, the barely visible or tasted sauce on the reuben, the fact that the "frito pie" was literally a bowl of chili with Zero fritos solidified we won't come back. But the kind response of 2 of the staff prevents me from being nasty with v few stars.

    Me and my boyfriend absolutely love it here! It’s great to sit outside with the dog and play some cards and have some wonderful beer. On Saint Patty‘s Day where everybody was booked we decided that we would go ahead and pop in here for some dinner and we ended up walking into a live show and absolutely just loved our time! The food is also quite good the only thing I would know is the pizza is very greasy we actually didn’t end up finishing it because of it. But all of the other food is quite delicious!

    Great beer and food. Cool atmosphere. Weird to serve less than a full pour in a glass without explaining that glasses are oversized. Made me feel shorted, but the Pilsner was delish.

  • 4/5 Scott Van de M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool location with a great outdoor eating area. The inside is very cool too. Great selection of beers. We had the meatballs and a few of the pizzas since we were there with some kids. The pizza would have been really good, but it was undercooked. If only they would have left it in oven for another 5 minutes, it would have been perfect. If you go there on a weekend, it seems like they run out of food pretty early. Overall, good experience. Would recommend.
