In Short
Aside from the beer taps and light fixtures, nearly everything in the Ginger Man is made of dark varnished wood or exposed brick. Extra seating can be found in the large, well-maintained patio in back. The crowd is mixed, but skewed toward young professionals. There are some 80 beers on tap and more than 100 in bottles. Sizes range from the tiny half pint to the ostentatious yard-long glass. Wine and champagne are also available.

I've never been to the old location so can;t compare but loved the Gingerman. Great selection of beer, very comfortable setting and good waitstaff. Was not crowded this past Sat and we had the back room to ourselves for most the early evening. Enjoyed trying several new (to me) beers and the ecclectic music on the juke box. Looking forward to trying out the outdoor patio when it dries up a bit (rain!). Will be back for sure!

This is by far my favorite pub in town. No pretenses. Its refreshing to not have to deal with servers. With serves I always feel cheap when they walk around and I don't order anything new and have only had about 2 sips from my beer. The bartenders can be hit-or-miss on friendliness. On my 21st birthday, amazing and friendly staff super willing to tell their favorites and let me try them. On my friend's 21st birthday, the bartender was obviously annoyed when we asked for recommendations. The boy had never had never gone past Bud lite before though, so even I was a bit impatient. The beer is what makes this place. I'm happy with a Bass, but I love trying new things and at 4.50 a pint, mmmm. Imports aren't always the best buys here either. They have lots of hidden secrets behind their bar. I can't complain about anything, mostly because it doesn't falsely advertise anything. In fact, does it actively advertise anything or to anyone at all? And on a strange note: I love the huge Bavarian flag hanging at the back.

I have been to Gingerman quite a few times. It never gets old, the beer selction is the best in Austin and the Atmoshere is cool, very Austin,a good place to sample some beer and talk during the day. At night it's a great place to start off the night off... The crowd and staff love beer and you can easily talk about different beers for hours with anyone. Stop by and have a few.... Cheers!!!!

The Extras:
The jukebox tunes are quite diverse. There's a good selection of jazz (Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus), soul (Barry White, Gladys Knight), country (Buck Owens, Patsy Cline) and alt-rock (Replacements, Radiohead).
Know Before You Go:
For stomach fillers, think sandwiches, pizza, soft pretzels, empanadas and an array of jerky--both beef and turkey.
