School House Pub

Austin has a good place to get a sizable portion of fish and chips! The menu here is varied enough for everyone and the fact it is in an actual old schoolhouse makes this place pretty cool.I usually sit at the bar and the beer list is well appointed with many styles of brew. The staff is quick yet friendly making you feel like a regular even if you are not!I can't comment on the service beyond being quick - I never ask where my food or drink is here as they seem on top of it all.So stop in to the schoolhouse on manor for dinner and hit up their happy hour if you can!

Came here for a UT football game, loved the vibe, really felt like a classic pub. Pretty chill, not like a typical sports bar, so it wasn't overcrowded. I was catching up with a friend here so we ordered some food and a few drinks. The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating and the old man that sat next to us at the bar had the energy of a English Football fan - cursing and cheering after every play.The food here was solid:Fish and Chips - two large beer battered fish over a bed of fries. This plate was pretty massive and my only qualm was that the batter to fish ratio was a bit too high, especially at the edges (but still plenty of fish). Spicy Ginger Wings - the chicken wings themselves were good quality, nice and juicy, but the sauce was just too salty. I was able to finish but could've done with half the amount of salt for better wings.I think this a great spot if you're not looking for typical frat energy on sports days, and prefer something a little more intimate.

I got the Nashville hot sliders with spicy fries. It's not always available but they can make it (usually). It was great! The right amount of spicy and a great crunch! The fries were fantastic and cooked perfectly. One critique is that they should use more meat for the price. Service was stupendous. And the atmosphere is definitely easy-going. I will return.

I came in for HH with a friend and enjoyed their $7 fish and chips and $6 Deep Eddy limeade. The fish didn't seem to have salt but it was good with vinegar and the chips were really tasty particularly in the ranch dip which seemed house made. The limeade was really cute in a tin cup though I didn't feel any alcohol in it tbh. The vibe is a bit dive bar and I honestly expected more of a school house theme but it's pretty laid back. The staff was pretty friendly though the food menu seems a bit pricy and I'm not sure if I'd pay that much for those offerings.

Has new hours on their website showing Saturday 11am- 1am, showed up on 8/24/2024 and place is completely closed, no note on the door or explanation.Walked across the street and enjoyed a great lunch and drinks at Haymaker, which we will go back to again instead!

Shrimp sliders, not worth $18. Muted flavorsFries with the cod and the fries with the sliders two separate batches. Dropped by this East side jewel with some friends for lunch and had a wonderful time. The bartender recommended some great drinks; we had the Wassail drink and it was delicious. Best dishes of the day were the Mac n cheese and the chicken fried chicken. The Mac had cheddar and Parmesan and perfectly crisped pancetta. And the portion for the chicken fried chicken was substantial! (See attached photo). Definitely coming back for the fish n chips. There was a small issue with one of our dishes but the staff and manager handled it wonderfully. Great atmosphere, decent dishes (I'd skip the shrimp sliders tbh as the flavors were a bit muted.) One of my fav places to hang out with a few friends.

Came here for cocktails and a bite before an event at Moody Center. I tried the Mean Girls and the Hall Pass cocktails. My favorite was the Means Girls (their take on an espresso martini). I ordered the gyro and the mac n cheese. The gyro had great flavor and came with thick onion rings on the side. I definitely recommend trying this! The Mac n cheese was good but not amazing. I will say I'm a tough critic when it comes to Mac n cheese though. Based on other reviews, most people really like it! You order at the bar counter and your food is brought to your table. The staff were kind and welcoming, and we didn't wait long for our food. The vibe is dive bar meets school house, which was fun to experience. There are tables inside and outside as well as a few parking spots (which is rare for this area of town). Street parking is available in the nearby neighborhood.

Well, I was in the mood for poutine so on today's walk I didn't know where I would end up. I saw School House Pub might have some so I ventured inside. Don't worry, it's coming back next week!I was met by the chillest bartender Mauricio & he even gave me a slight "don't worry, it looks like you're flustered" talk as I approached the bar. He told me the fish and chips as well as the Crawford Bock were on happy hour. Of course I had to have both. I was also in the mood for cauliflower wings and I hit it big here! The food was incredible despite the French fries being overdone. The vegan ranch was delicious and the tartar sauce was unique but not in left-field. The conversation I had with Mauricio was great--it was nice to exchange similar opinions on how East Austin's restaurant scene has changed. He poured me some of his favorite mezcal over ice and it was delicious. The atmosphere was great and super laid back. It was cool to see some Día de los Muertos decor and people from Britain in the pub. I can't wait to go back!

Walked by here on Valentine's Day and had to come in after we saw the sign on the door. They were doing the cutest, low key v-day event ever. They had themed cocktails and a food special but everything else was the normal price plus a chocolate fountain, decorations, and romcoms playing. I seriously could not have been happier to avoid the expensive chaos of Valentine's Day and come to a comfy spot with nice staff and solid drinks and food. Thank you all so much for making our day!

This place is awesome, cold beer, small, great environment. Service was awesome, popcorn was delicious. Parking was confusing is my only issue. Good place to watch UT and/or play a card game.
