In Short
With white plaster walls, exposed wooden beams and thick oak tables and chairs, the Draught House feels like a cross between a Bavarian hoffbrauhaus and a Tudor-era British inn. Mounted coats of arms, plates and steins add to the effect. The loyal crowd is a laid-back, convivial set of solid-citizen types, mostly in their late 20s and 30s. There's no hard liquor, but there are 50 beers available on draft, including several homebrews.

This is a great place to sit back and have a few pints. The beer selection is great and the atmosphere is even better. Very relaxed crowd, you can bring your dog, drink in the parking lot. It's just a great place to just hang out. One of those places you can only find in Austin... Cheers

I cannot recommend this place enough. Here's why: it's very different from anywhere else. First off, it's a private local business, not a chain, so they get to call their own shots. Which translates to: drink beer in the PARKING LOT while sitting in the back of your car or a lawn chair. Very dog friendly. Great private location: very hard to find the first time, but there's no traffic, so you can stumble around freely. I'm not sure how this place deals with TABC and open container law...but nowhere else have I heard of being able to take your drink outside in the parking lot!! They also microbrew some of their tap beer. Nightly specials include house beer at $2.50 a pint. Every once in a while they'll have Double IPA on 2.50 special, which is a very strong beer. Food is delicious. There are pizza options and a bowl of finger pub grub, which is an amazing mixture of pretzels and other delicious unnamed things. I've seen people bring in their own snacks and chips, so they're not strict on that. All I've gotta say is that with these great prices and such great tasting beer, make sure you have someone sober to drive you home. You will most likely get much, much drunker than you planned to. I guarantee that. This place is just THAT great.

Worst pub experience in all of Texas. Rude staff. I'm a native Texan and a proud Austinite. My friends and I went here last night following a movie to grab a drink. The second we walked through the door the bartenders, a brunette man and a blonde woman, began SCREAMING from ACROSS THE ROOM at us to show our IDs. We were a little taken aback because 1.) We are of legal Texas drinking age, members of our party were 22-28, to give you an idea and 2.) I have never in my life encountered such rudeness and hostility in Texas in a pub of all places! Needless to say, after BOTH of the bartenders began to yell at us while we were quietly talking and deciding what to order (their prices of $5 for a glass of draft were a little high by Texas standards) we decided to walk out. Instead, we went to Crown & Anchor and had an amazing experience there as usual! After seeing so many positive reviews, I'm really shocked no one else had our experience. We honestly encountered the rudest, most impatient bartenders at the Draught House last night. And I have no idea why they were so impatient.... we were the only ones in there. My advice, don't go here unless you want to submit to being yelled by impatient staff with terrible manners. There are so many great pubs/bars in Austin and the Draughthouse is just not worth it.
