A cozy brewery in South Austin, near St. Elmo (The Yard)! We stopped by on New Year's Day for a drink. I ordered a lavender seltzer, and my boyfriend got a hazy IPA. Both were incredibly refreshing, and I absolutely loved the lavender seltzer! The staff was fantastic, adding to the great experience. I'd definitely come back!

We decided to try a new brewery tonight. I thought this place was super cute. They had bingo going on and have board games you can play. We really liked their IPA but they had a lot of beers to try and very friendly service

Love this brewery! Always able to find a solid beer to drink and also not so beery-beer for my sister who doesn't like beer. I feel like they are one of the few places that allow you to do a shandy (which is a must when Texas gets hot as hell).I love it even more when my favorite food truck found their new home here. SXSE Food co. and Vacancy brews are a solid pairing. If you catch them during the crawfish boil, their lagers or sparkling ale are a perfect match to quench the heat coming from Chef Bob's spicy crawfish

Nice taproom, gracious employees, plenty of parking, and delish beer add up to a great experience. I love their Classic Pilsner, it's so clean on a hot day. SXSE food trailer is yummy, too, so make a lunch or dinner of it.

I love it here. Solid tap wall. Canned options available to take home.They have plenty of boardgames to keep you & your friends entertained. Good for small or large groups (I think 6-8 people can sit at one table). You can even go all by yourself and you are likely to make a friend. Nice people.New beer is released regularly.It's in a bit of a strange location. Don't question it. You need to go here. You need to try this beer.Plenty of seating inside & outside.Staff is extremely friendly & helpful when trying to decide what delicious brew you're going to consume.I think this is where all nights out should start. & end. I go to bed early.Y'all are trailblazers.

We live in Round Rock and make the 30-60 minute drive to Vacancy almost weekly. The owners are hospitable and the staff are people I'd definitely consider my friends. They make very strong efforts to get to know customers, engaging in conversations and sharing laughs. They are dog friendly, both inside and outside. There's a food truck that is parked there but you are also allowed to bring outside food in or get something delivered. There's several other food trucks nearby that you could pop over to and bring to Vacancy. We have been for many of their events, which are well planned and super fun. Their recent anniversary party had a flash tattoo artist, food trucks, DJs, limited edition merch and brews, etc. The beers are fantastic. They have a good rotation of IPAs, lagers, and their staple is the June. All super easy and enjoyable to drink.

Good beers (try my girl, Lucille) and the friendliest mustachioed-beertenders make for a nice, intimate place to chat with friends, play trivia with the room, or have a snack (currently Asian-inspired food truck outside) with friends or coworkers or even your kids. The owners make a point to offer a smile, too. The Yard is just across the street, so you can make a full day of it without having to drive.

I really liked this spot, it was cute. I started off with a beer flight followed by a half pour. You get to choose 3 beers in your flight so I selected the austin sours, mixtape vol. 3 and hitchhiker hazy. I really like the beer and space, if you are in Austin check this brewery out.
