What People Are Saying About Doc's Motor Works Bar & Grill

In Short – Once a popular neighborhood automotive shop, this prime piece of South Congress real estate has transformed into a casual American-meets-Mexican restaurant and sports bar. The sprawling front patio, filled to the brim with colorful tables and chairs, is the most popular seat selection for its front-row view of the steady SoCo traffic. Diners' choices range from traditional appetizers and burgers to enchilada platters and egg rolls--all washed down with a choice of 31 beers on tap.

Great Atmosphere
by RayFoodLover
Fun place to go and sit out on the patio. really enjoy watching games at Docs. Great daily specials and they have pretty good appetizer sampler platter. Would recommend with a group. Love sitting on S. Congress.

Fun Spot for Drinks and Grub
by PaddyMcP
This is right in my neighborhood and a great spot to go to for drinks and bar food. Nothing is AMAZING, but nothing I've had is bad, either. The fried mushrooms are good, fish tacos were great (get them grilled), and burgers are pretty good, too. Check out the happy hour specials during the week.
Oh-- fun place to watch sports, too. If a UT game is on, you can watch it along with the legion of Longhorn fans.

Good Outdoor Place
by DeckardIsHuman
Doc's has great beer and burger specials on Mondays. I really liked sitting outside and watching people walk up and down Congress. It's a little hard to find seating on big "event" nights, but still a nice change of pace from the Austin bar scene.
- Pros: Good food and drink specials, nice outdoor area
- Cons: Hard to find seating, can be very loud
