The Water Tank

Great atmosphere with an awesome crowd. You can sit inside but all the fun is outside in the back. There is a live band or sports on the big screen. Steak, salad and potato cooked outside and tastes like a homemade steak off the grill! Down it with a margarita or whatever you like and it's .

Great place to have some drinks and watch football! Huge TV inside and outside. Beer is cheap for Austin and food is decent

Been coming here for a while now, highly recommend for the friendly environment, and the karaoke is always a good time.

I absolutely love this venue! While you can sit inside, you HAVE to go outside to the back of the bar. The picnic tables fit groups, and the bar gives great service. They have a menu with great choices. So there is no need to eat before coming here. I will note that the appetizers are huge!  While appetizers are intended for groups, these filled our group up. That is definitely not a complaint!Something else I really like is that they have 3 different cider offerings here. That was really nice to discover!A great plus is that sometimes you will be entertained with live music at the stage in the back.The Water Tank is a terrific bar!

Still dark and awkward inside to me... but outside is a blast!!! People bring dogs, live music and big screens for sports!Bartenders outside are great

The Water Tank is the locals' spot to be! Lauren is the BEST bartender in Austin by far ~ Drinks are cold, food is great, and company is the best!! Also darts, pool, event nights, and games

Alright I be bias here but this is one of my favorite bars in the area and today was top notch. Lauren at the inside bar was amazing serving green drinks left & right, meanwhile outside was showing live music + an extra bar to serve all your lucky needs. Irish car bombs + Jell-O shots. Thanks water tank for a fun st Patrick's day

Food wasn't bad and the ambience was great. The service was excellent and were very friendly.

Aside from stiff drinks, this place has issues. Bartenders are often miserable, the best ones left. One of my friends got kicked out for STOPPING a fight, to give you an idea of how bizarre it gets.Edit: Not lying whatsoever - the fight was a while back, my friend Kenney is the one banned for stopping a fight, other friends literally banned for zero reason, "the staff doesn't like me," etc. Ran into someone just a week ago who was banned. No real reason. The reason I was banned is because I took a trip out of town, I was issued a new debit card, and for whatever reason, they take days to run your card sometimes. This led to passive aggressive behavior from Taylor, a bartender there - but I can't really do much in another city with a new debit card, something that is lost on her for whatever reason. Then I randomly opened a tab one day and was told "The staff decided you're banned." Don't take any of their Yelp responses seriously - this happens often here. Everything I said is accurate, and the passive aggressive response from James actually proves my point. Real business managers don't comment on Yelp like this. Looking forward to him going back and forth with me on Yelp instead of focusing on a toxic staff at a mediocre bar. Also to James - I'll leave a review whenever I like, I never said a "fight happened yesterday." Consider focusing on improving the bar (the bartenders who leave have nothing good to say about it) instead of going back and forth with me on here. Or just continue to prove my point.

We came to watch the game this past Saturday, and we had the sweetest bartender serve us! I can't remember her name, but she had glasses and blonde hair. We will definitely be back to see her!It was great to see all female bartenders working together tirelessly on such a busy game day. Shout out to the great service, the great drinks, and the perfect patio to watch the game!!
