Oddwood Ales

After being here a few times now I feel I can finally write how fun it is to come to Oddwood. I especially love their curated movie and music nights especially their vinyl nights as it all pairs so well with delicious and crisp in-house beers and delicious pizza. Transparently I have not tried the BBQ yet but I got plenty of future opportunities down the road when I come in next time for their next vinyl spinning night. I am a super fan of their emo curated nights. I am a sucker for a theme in general but emo or holiday tunes always wins me over and brings me in. Plenty of room and space for you to bring a large group in and be seated comfortably inside or outside - you take your pick. The small game room for the kiddos is such a nice touch too and allows some extra space for the kiddos to run around and play some games as the adults get some beer or wine down. Parking can be a thing but there is plenty of street parking across the way if you do not find any spots right in front. Be mindful of the parking warnings and signs as you may think you got lucky and found a spot but it may be reserved for the neighbor businesses. Also if you are not into pizza they have plenty else to offer too like wings, spaghetti, strombolis, huge salads, sandwiches, and chicken tenders or corn dogs for them kids. They have such a variety of food offerings that it would be silly to at least not get an appetizer to pair with pitcher of beer.

Rude server. Got my order half wrong. Chuckee cheese has better pizza. This pizza tastes frozen. Frose was super tart and sour like if the fruit went bad. Wouldn't recommend for families or anyone really. Get KG BBQ and find somewhere else to drink.

The ambiance is very welcoming and comfortable. And you can't go wrong with KG BBQ truck onsite.It's a family and dog friendly establishment. Dogs on patio unless service animal.The Italian beef sandwich they make is pretty decent being this far out from Chicago.Staff is cool and help when you're indecisive about flight choices (like me, always). They have a pour called Yuki Onnna which is my absolute favorite. It's a Japanese rice lager at just around 4% abv or so. It's got a unique and crisp flavor that sits well on the tongue and lips.

Solid service here. Taylor was very helpful at the bar and kind to make conversation. Beer prices are reasonable and variety is ample. I didn't have food but heard great things. My friends and I had a great time catching up here. I got the last spot in the parking lot, it's busy here, but I'd go back! Thanks oddwood for a great beer drinking experience. Casual ambiance in here.

We abandoned the wait for BBQ next door and had the good fortune to pop into this little gem. We ordered Sandos (meatball and jabroni) and salads (caeser and greek).Salads were great. If you like your salads premixed with dressing, then you're good here. I didn't mind it, but felt like a bit too much dressing was on that salad and would order it on the side next time. That's just me. The sandos were terrific. Toasted bread, melted cheese, and seasoned well. What more do you need?Other reviewers commented on the beer options being somewhat limited and we'd agree. We drank water because IPAs are the most overrated beers ever. Don't come at me, people. You know it's true. Overall, I am really glad we came here and we'll be back to try out the pizzas!

If you've been to pinthouse and found their pizza disappointing and prefer your beers to not be hoppy, this is the place for you.Their setup is great for an after work happy hour or coming to catch a game. Plenty of comfortable spade indoors and outdoors.The pizza is exactly what brewery pizza should be. Light and crisp with a good variety of options. I had the saucy hog which was a white pie with goat cheese, crispy prosciutto, and balsamic glaze. The flavor mix was really good and I love that they go for that kind of flavor combination. With that said, the overall pizza quality is just okay and I can't see myself coming here for a plain pizza.Their beer specialty is pilsners, they have an average variety of beers for an Austin brewery. I'd call them all pretty palatable for non beer people and the quality was solid, but if you're a beer person visiting Austin I don't think they approach the top tier.Overall they're a nice spot doing a solid job at everything they're going for. Definitely see myself coming back here in the future

Oddwood Ales was nice! My friend and I came here in an attempt to try out something in the Cherrywood neighborhood, and it was immediately obvious that it's a popular local hangout. The building and the surrounding food truck(s) were really neat, and the service was about what you'd expect from a popular local beer joint (to the point, but not rude).We got pizzas, which were both pretty unimpressive for the price. Mine was a run of the mill thin crust meat and veggie pizza, while my friend got their vegetarian option. If mine was a 6/10, his was a solid 3. If we're talking percentiles, this was easily bottom quintile. Well, it's not like Oddwood ever claimed to have exceptional pizzas (and a veggie one, no less) so maybe that's what we get for going to a pub and ordering pizza. Overall solid vibe, but maybe not the place to go if you're fixing for pizza.

Beautiful bar area and overall the inside vibe is very cozy. IPAs tasted pretty good, but most of the other beer options fell short. We tried two flights to attempt to taste as many of theirs as we could. They had the popular bbq truck, KG BBQ, out back while we were there, but the line was super long and it was a busy, colder day so we just ordered from the regular menu this time. It was very okay, mild, not very seasoned and a little overcooked (dry) food so I'd recommend the food truck and I haven't even tried it yet. They have an arcade area on the side that has a huge sign that says unsupervised kids below a certain age are not permitted and yet tons of little kids screaming and running kept going in and out, very distracting to other patrons. Staff wasn't super present, even when ordering they seemed distracted by the game on and just trying to pound through orders and seemed annoyed when we asked about the WiFi. All of the empty seating options tables were dirty, luckily I carry wipes with me. Ooof the parking is so difficult here, especially on the weekends. Very limited spaces, shared with other businesses in a very busy area. Street parking a block away.

Came in while getting some BBQ from KG BBQ next door. Food/drink 4/5: Ordered a flight of beer as well as their pineapple peach Bellini. The beers were decent and the Bellini was very goodAmbiance 4/5: nice location, plenty of tables both inside and outService 3/5: average counter service, fairly quick, nothing at the table.Value 3/5: pretty much get what you paid for, a reasonable price but wouldn't say great valueParking: small parking lot that fills up immediately, somewhat inconvenient street parking across the street.

Nice selection of beers attached to a great BBQ restaurant. Plenty of seating and a huge tv for the game. You can order outside and hangout inside drinking great beer while you wait to eat. Service staff friendly and quick to help.
