Manchaca Springs Saloon

This is a solid spot in south Austin/manchaca. It's mostly an outdoor place in my opinion so not ideal when it's raining out. They have a food truck on site that has really good BBQ along with Mac & cheese. Their banana cream dessert at the food truck is also delicious. As for the bar, they have several different beers to pick & choose from. They even asked my fiancé & I if we wanted our modelo beers dressed (served with salt) after ordering them. They also have a stage for live music as well.Sometimes there are a lot of people there, and other times it's on the emptier side. It really all depends. Not a lot of dancing going on at this place, and it's a great spot to hang out at and have good conversations at during a warm spring or summer day.

Yeah. We like. Pretty much just beer and a few ciders/seltzers at reasonable prices. Not sure if they have wine. Order at the bar. Cool venue. Eclectic. Lots of seating. Stage for a live band. Food trucks on site.

I think this place has been judged unfairly on Yelp. I thought this place was great. It's such a great divey spot. Large and open with a live music stage and full of eclectic decor bits. The food truck was very good and all of the staff very nice. I could see this spot being great during the evening and will definitely come back then! It just screamed classic Texas to me! Loved it, will definitely return!

I wish I could give this place 0/5 stars. One of the worst experiences ever and will not return. I love going to cute bars around Austin that are dog friendly. However, this bar is not dog friendly due to the actions of people that attend this bar. I was sitting at a patio table eating dinner and a guy at the bar took it upon himself to through a huge firework 3 tables behind where we were sitting. My dog ran off and into the street because she was terrified. After the fact, the guy came up and apologized and said, "he thought it was okay because he saw her on a leash." Wow. It's a shame that the stupid person ruined a local bar that had potential. The owner of the food truck Patty Wagon was extremely sweet and the food was good. Overall will not be a returning customer and will not recommend this place to anyone. sp

Awesome little Austin joint. Nice and spacious outdoor seating, live bands and yup dog friendly! Alex ugh she was so fun and inviting, we stopped by to have a few beers on a beautiful Austin day and all had such a good time. They serve bottled/canned beers and a few seltzer's, there is a bbq joint on the property as well and my sister said it was amazing! They have really unique fun decor all around the property which really gave it a true Austin vibe. Overall it's a fun place to get a few ice cold beers!

Had a wonderful time at this place over the weekend. Food was delicious and plentiful, we got the brisket and pulled pork along with potato salad, Mac and cheese, cole slaw and the beans. Definitely get the beans, so much flavor! Bar was walk up and had various beers, ciders and wines. They are also dog friendly which is a huge plus!

Absolutely one of the best beer bars in South Austin. Extremely great and friendly service. The kind of bar where every one is welcomed and feels like family. The owners, Josh and Sarah have taken great care to have plenty of outdoor seating with picnic tables, grassy areas, an extended wood plank patio with a cool iron bar, washer pits and one of the best Barbeque food trailers this side of the river. In addition, the vintage memorabilia that decorates the whole property along with strung low lights makes this a versatile family outing, happy hour, neighborhood party or a romantic date bar. There is plenty of parking and they will do bottle service.

This place is so awesome!! Has a great layout, bartenders and vibe! Excited to come here during the spring time!

My dog and I love this bar! It's under new management and they are fantastic! Great beer selection, fun staff, full bar, live music, and a ton of character. Even there food truck has the best Mac and cheese in town!

The people leaving 1-star reviews are hilarious. First time here, and I already can't wait to come back. The bartender is awesome, the band is fantastic, and the food is SO GOOD. Not to mention the atmosphere, which is so refreshingly Texan. PS- do yourself a favor and order the smoking' mac and cheese.
