WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR FRENCH FRIES?. The Crown used to have the best fries around. Better than Hyde Park, even. They were hand cut (at least they tasted it), slim and cruncy, and deep fried in peanut oil. Now, they are limp and tasteless. We have noticed. :( A huge number of our friends used to come for the fries and stay for the burgers and beers. Bring back the old fries, and we will return. Please.

Not totally a college bar. My regular bar in town, and I'm post-college and didn't even go to UT. Yeah, it's a college bar, but most people I meet there are grad students (mid 20s+) or not students anymore.

The crowd is mixed, all suits here, but it's laid-back, pretty friendly, not trendy. Bartenders usually play good music . Outdoor and covered patio, plus indoor area.

The burgers are really, really good. Large draft selection (and many more in bottles) --on tap, Shiner is $2.25, Guinness is $3.75. 2 pool tables (75 cents) and darts. Not a sports bar, but there are usually games on on the 2 inside TVs and 1 outdoor TV. So if you want to keep an eye on a game in a non-fratboy atmosphere, it's not bad (usually no sound, except for UT football).

Great, chill place. Sometimes crowded, sometimes not. Happy hour + beer specials Sun-Tues.

Nurse a hangover!. A cute joint with a fabulous patio that allows dogs and even provides bowls for water, a huge selection of beer, and the best cheat on your diet food in Austin. What a better way to spend the day after a long night out than chillin in the sun with a pint, a burger and your pup? My fav: cheddarburger with cheese fries and a side of ranch with a pitcher on sunshine. Hey, I'm easy!

UT hangout. This is a great place to grab a beer or two and just hang out. The crowd is mellow and mostly UT students. And the staff is pretty nice. There's also a dart board and other things to occupy your time.

Laid back and casual. I haven't been back to the Crown & Anchor since graduating, but this was a great place to unwind after a day of classes, whether it was to grab a beer or a burger. Generally, it was to grab an ice cold beer. The covered patio was a great place to congregate and hang out. No pretenses. Makes me really home sick.
