Boulevard Grill and Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (158) • $

"Great neighborhood bar! Wow, queso we had with chips, fries, chili, it was amazing... wish I had tried years ago!!!Perfect for slipping out with the guys in the evening or popping in for a quick bite after a neighborhood game with the kids. Good beverage and food selection with local neighborhood owners that take pride in their restaurant and give back to the neighborhood."

The Bon Aire

★★★★☆ 4.3 (82) • $

"This place was awesome. I walked there from the Nissan dealership while my car was being worked on- best find ever! The food was delicious and insanity cheap. The bartenders and cool were polite and made sure I had what I needed. There is also free popcorn! They have cardinals stuff up and plenty of TVs for sports. I'll be back for sure! This is the perfect spot to relax, grab a filling, Delia meal, food drinks and a very low tab!!!"

Vincent's Sports Pub

★★★★☆ 3.7 (136)

"I was gassing up on Brodie Lane, and noticed this little sports bar next door, so I decided to give it a try. Had a quick online peek at the menu and spotted a really promising hamburger, "Let's give this a try!"Really pleasant sports bar atmosphere, the bartender came over as soon as I sat down, really friendly people here. I ordered the house cheeseburger , and I was not disappointed. Delicious, hot fresh bun, perfectly cooked meat, and all the vegetables were fresh, crisp, and delicious! A really cool surprise was the custom spiral-cut french fries, so fresh hot and yummy! ! I strongly suspect that they are custom-spiral cut to order. They really were delicious. Another wonderful find in Austin, Texas, I will definitely be coming here again."

The Canary Roost

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (113) • $

"First time here (on a Sunday) and I had so much fun.I love karaoke. I do not drink alcohol. I hate karaoke rooms.This place filled my karaoke void and also has NON ALCOHOLIC spirits and MOCKTAILS!Yes!!!A place for me to have fun and sip something without feeling the guilt or left out. They had a good selection of songs. The app is easy to use! Myra the bartender informed of the mocktail menu!Kristen the KJ was super nice and has an amazing voice!"

Lavaca Street Bar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (238) • $$

"I thought this was a great place to watch a sports game. Arrived about 30 minutes before the start of the NCAA women's final basketball game and there were plenty of spots inside and out. By the start of the game, it was poppin and not everyone could find a seat. I thought this place earned 5 stars because of the abundance of TVs even outside, and the covered patio was appreciated. The food options were also worthy of 5 stars; what other sports bar offers fish and crawfish options?? Now, it wasn't the most gourmet food we ever had, but it was satisfying nonetheless."

Oribello’s Bar & Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.9 (20)

"Oribello's is better than ever, a true delight,With flavors that sparkle and dishes done right.Filipino roots in every plate,A taste so rich, it's worth the wait.The new team runs it with passion and care,Great food, warm vibes--you'll love it there!Service is top-notch, a place to adore,I'll be back soon for more and more!"

Little Woodrow's Southpark Meadows

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (203) • $$

"I was invited by a group to watch football. I was nervous because I am not social and I don't drink. It was a very pleasant environment. A lot of people but wasn't any drunken drama. There was an inside and outside area which was very nice. Tv's were clear and large. I was able to get soda without waiting a long time and I had a good time!"

The Dizzy Rooster

★★★★☆ 3.6 (148) • $

"Blake is awesome! He is so friendly and just a riot!!! He is such a professional. This woman walked in while we were sitting there. She said she lost her sunglasses and debit card the day before. She supposedly left them on the bar. Blake checked his list and find area, no go. He apologized for not noticing them on the bar and offered her a shot. She refused and was a total B word. She was worried about her sunglasses, but not her debit card. He was so polite to her, but she was rude. Plus, he made us great Basil Hayden Old Fashioneds. Tourists can be so difficult. If we lived here, we would absolutely come back here."

Little Woodrow's Bee Cave

★★★☆☆ 3 (166) • $$

"Came here today with my brother to watch the Longhorns game. The restaurant was super busy (standing room only); however, we lucked out and got a table. The outside has lots of tables, Astro Turf area, big screen TV. Best place in Bee Cave to watch games! Our server was great! She was super nice and worked so hard today! All the servers were so busy and did a great job! We ordered a couple drinks and had boneless buffalo wings with fries. They were excellent! The chicken was cooked perfectly. I'd order them again! Great job Little Woodrow's!"

The Stay Put

★★★★☆ 4.2 (24)

"This is your spot. Good vibe and good beer. Relaxing as hell. Always good music without it being overbearing. And excellent ginger beer."

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

★★★★☆ 3.5 (15)

"Great place to watch sports games! Frank is the best bartender ever, super nice, attentive, and quick! He has never made a bad drink and he makes it exactly how you ask for it. Very great guy to talk to, my friends and I have spent some time hanging out at the bar and we go out of our way to stop in and see him! The place has lots of seating and TV angle options. Good live music, sometimes a little too loud but overall a very fun vibe. The bathroom is a little dicey but overall a place we always stop in at on west 6th."

CJ's Sports Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (25) • $

"Such a fun place! I was here last spring watching March Madness with my husband. They have really good food too. I just had lunch there the other day and was delicious. Not your "normal" bowling alley food. There's shuffleboard, pool and nicer lanes in the bar if you want to bowl there. But we come for happy hour and the TVs. It's a great place close to our house to watch sporting events on that aren't televised at our place. We'll be back!"

600 Degrees

★★★★☆ 4 (23)

"Always a great pizza option in Georgetown! I love that they have GF options for me, and the rest of the family loves the big slices."

Pour Choices

★★★★☆ 3.6 (61) • $

"Yummy drinks! There are a lot of options to choose from. I enjoyed the $4 Sex on the beach & Blue Hawaiian cocktails. A lot of their drinks sounded delicious, even their shots. A live band was playing. They had a few games you could play like Connect 4 & basketball. It was hard to find a seat at 2pm on a Monday afternoon!Bartender was busy but provided excellent prompt service. Peaky blinders was playing behind the bar!"

Lou’s - Barton Springs

★★★★☆ 3.7 (75)

"Stopped after a bike tour of downtown. Ordering is easy. Happy hour specials are nice. Our group ordered chicken wings, chicken tenders, a burger and the pulled chicken sandwich. No complaints!!Good outdoor seating, nice ambiance. Waitstaff attentive."

Recreation

★★★★☆ 3.7 (12)

"This place needs better advertising. We had seen this on Instagram over 3 months ago and wanted to pop in to see what replaced the old dropkick space. The ambiance is incredible and I was surprised at how empty it was. We ordered two drinks and fries and it was around 37 dollars. The service was fine. I think the cocktails were good but very pricey for that area. Other than the ambiance, this bar wasn't really a standout but like we may go back sometime in the next year."

Copper Top Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (82) • $$

"This is mine and hubby's favorite bar! The staff is always super friendly and helpful. They have a good beer and liquor selection and the food is yummy as well! We almost always order fried pickles or mozzarella sticks, but if you want a full meal the burgers and fries are great! Keep an eye out for them to bring back fish n chips! They temporarily do not have it due to staffing changes. The space is good for large groups and there's pool, darts, shuffleboard, Golden Tee, as well as plenty of TVs if you want to be entertained. Please come give them your business to keep them around!"

Jack & Gingers

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (337) • $$

"I have been here several times now and each time has been a good experience. I was here a couple days ago with a friend just to grab a drink and it was great. My only complaint about this spot is that it's always crazy loud and even when I've sat outside it's hard to hear what people are saying. I've had food here before and it was actually really good so I would totally recommend coming here to watch a game and grab some food."

Uptown Sports Club

★★★★☆ 4 (156)

"Who would've guessed that such a sports bar-named restaurant would give off such cute and chic New Orleans vibes? My friend took me here this weekend, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how nice and good brunch, service, and drinks were. They are really busy, so it's smart to get a reservation. They serve brunch until 3PM, which is also another pro. We actually missed our original reservation time, but they were kind and able to accommodate for a later afternoon time.We sat at the bar, and the bartender was so nice and attentive. He gave us a really good breakdown on some Italian liquors, and the Frozen Moose we ordered was so delicious. It tasted like a frozen rumchata with a lot of yummy homemade vanilla bean whipped cream. I could've had like four of these by myself. We waited for a really long time for food, which is the main reason I am giving -1 stars. I was getting so hangry watching a member of staff slowly plate our food because we definitely were waiting for close to half an hour, and the steak came out really cold. It was cooked medium rare and it also came with two eggs (I chose sunny side up) and super delicious crispy hashbrowns. Our bartender/server noticed the long wait and apologized, and I do think the food was good enough to make up for the wait. Their menu is really awesome, too. I would've had a difficult time choosing what to get because everything sounded so good. I definitely recommend! A really vibey and solid brunch spot."

Cover 2

★★★★☆ 3.9 (424) • $$

"I knew they talked about wanting to separate themselves from other sports bars when it came to their food, but I didn't fully believe it. I can 100% say that I'm a believer. I came in for the happy hour on a Tuesday and was extremely satisfied. I ordered the salsa verde pork tacos, chicken slider, and a couple beers. For under $25, you get a massive meal and a couple beers. You really can't beat it. Chicken Slider - $7: They call it a slider, but this thing can easily be considered a meal in itself. It came with a nice size piece of chicken and packed plenty of flavorPork Taco - $7: Not only was I expecting 1 taco, but I also didn't have the highest expectations for the sports bar taco. I was flat out stunned how good this was. The meat was incredibly tender. The tortilla was the perfect thickness and cooked to perfection. The topper was that it includes two tacos, making for a nice size meal. I would come back for these alone. Along with all the food, there is a TV at every corner you look, and they even turn the volume on for the game which is always great to have."

BBG’s

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (93) • $$

"We decided on one more treat before the show so we hit 6th street and browed the menu on the outside of some of the bars and it Landed us at BBG. Service was good and the beer was flat. We were drawn in by the Mac and Cheese Egg Rolls/Cheese burger filled. They were pretty tasty and the Chipotle Aioli was a good match. As for the beer I would probably stick to bottled if they had it."

Skinny's Off Track Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (43)

"What a great space! This bar is such a cute vibe, you have the option of indoor where each booth has a TV and a large one for the whole space to watch sports. There is also a large outdoor patio space with a very large screen. The food truck has tasty bar food that is affordable!"

Warehouse Billiard Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (148) • $$

"I really love this place! Frozen drinks, pool, and air hockey? Not to mention it's very spacious hence the name which I appreciate."

Lavaca Street Bar At Rock Rose

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (191) • $$

"Location is great- right in the heart of Rock Ross Ave- but I mainly loved their ordering system. You scan barcode, place order, pay, and they bring it to you. You don't even interact with waiter and it's great for groups separating checks. Food is okay, just like any bar type food but ambiance is good- sports bars type."

Mariscos Tampico Bar & Grill

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (55) • $$

"Came in to order to go! The staff was very helpful and recommending dishes. Ordered the 7 seas soup! The ambience is a bar feel. Not my personal fav Bc feel Bc to dark and dreary. The soup is delicious and full of a large variety. Would def go back to try more food."

Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"Overall: 5/10Food: 6/10Service: 5/10Atmosphere: 5/10Value: 4/10Decent Bbq but far from the best in Austin. You order everything ala carte which starts with your meat selections. It's VERY challenging to know how much you're actually spending. Basically you learn once you get to the register at the end. It's shared picnic table seating, the beans are included along with the other bbq condiments. The picture shows everything got and how it is served on your tray. Found this place is pretty expensive for what you get and the quality of the food."

The Mill Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (39)

"The Mill is a nice, laid back place to relax and have a casual drink or meal. The ambiance ranges from dive to family! Some kids play pool there with their family."

Sushi Nini

★★★★☆ 4.1 (861) • $$

"I recently went here with a friend. I had been wanting some good sushi and she took me here. It was pretty chill when we first got there. Not too many people even though it was happy hour . Our appetizers were amazing! The boat contains a variety of different options just can't remember them lol. It was soooooooooooo delicious! We couldn't even finish the whole thing! I got lucky to take tit home to have later. The service was good as well. Our waitress was attentive and helped me. I can't wait to go back !"

Mister Tramps

★★★★☆ 3.9 (326) • $$

"Always welcoming for our big group to have a meeting. Classic dive with good food! It can get packed but the line always moves pretty quickly."

Backspin texas Sports Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (58)

"Pleasantly surprised at the service and speed on a NFL Sunday afternoon! My fiancé and I wanted wings to much on during our game day tv binge. We're new to the area so didn't know where to go.Backspin gave me a 20 minute pickup estimate. Wings and Irish nachos were ready right on time.Irish nachos (fries) and the lemon pepper/hot wings were great. They obviously make the wings by splitting up the entire wing in house bc the end pieces often are broken but it's not a big deal. I'm a bit of a wuss so I won't get the inferno flavor but I wish the Buffalo hot was a bit spicier. Lol...The lemon pepper flavoring is great! Carrots and celery come with order. For a little under $20"

Wicked Wings

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (114) • $$

"We were in the area and wanted something to eat and decided we'll try a spit we haven't eaten at yet. My son recommended this place and glad he did. The place is a good size and they have outside seating. They have a bar area and TVs. We were greeted right away and when there was a change in shift and servers we were informed before he was done with his shift which was nice. The food was cooked fresh and we just had water to drink. We ordered some appetizers and it looked all good so we got the sampler. The onion rings were so good. Haven't enjoyed onion rings for years. It was fresh, flavorful & yummy. The while sampler was pretty good. My fave were the rings and mushrooms. We ordered wings because they have wings in their name, so we had to try that and they turned out to be very good. They were cooked to order, a good size and they drown it with your choice of sauce. I had the garlic parmesan, hubby had extra hot because they didn't have the wicked, and my so had the Jamaican jerk. We were all satisfied and very happy with what we ordered. The place smelled clean and sanitary when you came in and staff was friendly and on top of things. I recommend this spot and Im sure we'll visit again when in the area. I'm not sure why they get low rating but I think they did great and served excellent food."

Corner Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (130) • $$

"If this is what it means to hangout on the corner on a Sunday afternoon, then sign me up and let me make my post! I freaking love the vibe of this spot and don't even get me started on their weekend promotion. $15+ bar spend (literally me in five minutes at any spot) and you get a food ticket to support one of the local trucks outside. HELL FREAKING YES. (Check out my review for Brown BBQ, but TL;DR- get the damn plate and order everything!)So the skinny on this food ticket promo is that it's valid for bbq from Brown's on Sunday and on Saturday's it's the Thai food truck adjacent to it. Love how Corner Bar shares the love. The tickets are handed out starting at 3pm but free food means a decent line. So just be patient and don't get all antsy patsy on this amazing promo.There's a wraparound patio that is dog friendly and they have a tv outside for those who watch sports. I really enjoyed their draft beer selection and the Yellow Rose IPA and Electric Jellyfish on tap already had me swiping right on them. Make sure to check out their social handles as I saw a few promos for FREE CRAWFISH and a few other events. They even have an overflow parking lot which I learned about whilst using the loo. I'll have to remember that for next time, but there is plenty of neighborhood parking!"

Dave & Buster's Austin - South

★★★★☆ 3.6 (23)

"Dave and busters are always expensive for how many games you get to play. Was pretty upset that this location does not have pool tables. The chicken nachos were very good though. The bartender didn't cut the top of the lime so the tip was floating around in the drink which was kind of off putting. All of that said its the closest thing in South Austin for this type of fun."

La Seareinita

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9)

"New to the neighborhood at East Oltorf and Burleson (former Whataburger). This is a great spot with super-fresh seafood and great drinks. Very reasonably-priced. Loved the shrimp ceviche in Sinaloan sauce. Check it out!"

BD Riley's Irish Pub at Mueller

★★★★☆ 4 (357) • $$

"Nice bar in the Mueller area. Stopped in for a few beers after finding the place on Yelp while I was near the area. I would like to back and try the food."
