What People Are Saying About Dog & Duck Pub

In Short
The green main room has a long wooden bar, an ornate tin ceiling and shelves crowded with mugs, carvings, figurines and rustic relics. In addition to indoor seating, the front and back patios offer dilapidated tables for the mix of shiny professionals, disheveled grad students and longtime locals. Dine on an extensive selection of burgers, sandwiches and colorfully named UK pub fare. Bubble and squeak, bangers and mash and Ploughman's lunch fill out the menu.

I love the Dog and Duck because I can go there with my 80-something yr. old parents, who have been going there for years and they are greeted and treated like celebrities. They know more hip, creative and successful Austinites as a result of frequenting the Dog and Duck than I ever will. It's that kind of place...a true pub atmosphere of camraderie and comfort. A home away from home. The fish and chips are out of this world and they know how to properly pour a Guinness. No snootiness or cooler-than-thou affectations. Go there.

You gotta love a place like this. Comfortable atmosphere, great beer, all 60 plus, fish and chips to die for. Please dont die though. They say the staff is unhelpful. Far from, they are just real people enjoying themselves.

I love getting a drink and relaxing on one of the benches at the Dog and Duck. It is to me, the epitome of what a laid back Austin bar should be like! The food is typical greasy bar food, but who goes here for the food?

The Extras:
The jukebox offers three plays for $1, and selections are dominated, surprisingly, by non-British, nontraditional artists and bands like Pavement, Tom Waits, Big Star and the Velvet Underground.
What to Drink:
Choose between about 60 beers, split more or less evenly between bottled and draft. Dylan's Smooth Ale, a Welsh import named for the famously besotted poet Dylan Thomas, is among the noteworthy selections.
