HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE.
I was recommended to this bar from a friend who says he goes there all the time for sports watch parties. To say the least my husband and I were very displeased with everything. The bartender talked
to a girl for almost ten minutes, while my husband was waiting on a drink; needless to say there were only three people at the bar. Finally we got our drinks. We waited outside for almost 20 minutes before anyone came to our table-I could not believe it!!! also, what seemed to be a relaxed Friday night...the manager, and I believe a bartender(off duty) were HIGHLY INTOXICATED... why do I want to go to a bar where the staff and management team cannot hold their act together. My next call should be the TABC.
Furthermore, my husband went in weeks later to grab drinks with friends, and the same bartender was yelling at this random girl about a past relationship I am assuming with the same manager on duty drunk yelling too! THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE, and if the owners knew this was going on I would fire half the staff there and start over.…
Overworked wait staff, good food, ok TV's and way too hot.
We popped in to catch the LSU vs N. Texas game and the USC game too last weekend. Very crowded but we showed up as the game started. Luckily we squeezed into a table in the front room as it just
came open as we were about to leave.
One waitress working many, many tables. We had to ask for more water, silverwear, napkins, forgotten side dishes. I mean, she was a sweetheart and we knew she had waaay to many tables. Cheap owners is what that equates to. Too bad because had she come over more often we would have ordered more beer.
The food was good though - fries, mini burgers (although overcooked were still tastey) and some other apps. All good at an ok price. A little high on a few items.
Clean beer glasses would have been nice but we knew we'd never see the waitress again sice our pitcher sat for 5 minutes before the glasses arrived...so we cleaned then on the 1 napkin we stole from a neighbor and limes.
Many of the smaller mounted TV's were in bad shape and you could barely see. If I come to watch a game I want to go somewhere that has all their equipment in shape. Only the large screens looked good.
Worst part is you see the sign "Now with A/C" but it sure didn't feel like it. We sweated so much it was ridiculous.
I can't see us going back.…
Yummy Honey Mustard & Hawaiian BBQ Burger. This place has the BEST Honey Mustard ever for dipping, spreading, etc. I had some sort of Hawaiian BBQ Burger with a big pineapple slice on it, along with BBQ sauce and bacon. Yum. The serveress was quick and friendly, and the place is cool. The rest of the menu looks good too. My date had Mac and Cheese, and it was actually cheesy, versus the cheese-like liquid that is on most restauraunts Mac and Cheese. I'd recommend it.…
Great Place, Better Burger than Hut's. This is an awesome bar. I heard that it used to have problems with staff and food but that was long ago. The only problem there now is one of the owners.... Stan. Is a drunk and likes to hang out there and give the staff grief and everyone that goes there knows it. But... for those who don't know or care about the Stan Chronicles, this place is awesome. Great Food, Awesome Bar and Lots of fun! "THE" place to watch a UT game or any other game for that matter. They have like 60 something plasma TV's but at the same time, the old two story house has the feel of an old pub, and it's a great place for friends. Even those who aren't into the sports bar scene will like it because it doesn't feel like a regular sports bar. Wait staff is great, bartenders are awesome and the Burger is the best in Austin. I think it got ranked second this past year, right behind Sullivans!!! Check it out. It's much improved from it's old self and a great place all around. And Stan... buddy... Go Home and stay home. Other owners... I would put a leash on your alcoholic pet if I was you. He is the only problem you got. Bye Bye Stan.... lol.…
