BEST BEER N BBQ!!!!!

by kcheaven5

The Service is great and the beer and barbeque are even better. A must for tourists and Austinites alike. Try the turkey and macaroni!!! This place seems to be slow now but tell your friends and lets make it a hot spot!!! Great location too.

• Pros: Location next to Barton Springs
• Cons: It is really hot in the bathroom

Must tip my hat to the $2.00 Tuesday beer selections, which is indeed the only day to go the Uncle Billy's give that their beer is very inconsistent (Hefeweizen!). Great to have craft brewing in Austin but don't pat yourselves on the back yet. BBQ good but overpriced - must follow suit with the other overpriced restaurants (i.e. Romeo's).

• Pros: Two dollar Tuesday's, patio seating
• Cons: Overpriced BBQ, spotty service, inconsistent beer

Best beer and very good barbecue

by billaustin

It's the beer for me ... the brewmaster is Brian Peters who started Live Oak and later brewed at the Bitterend. The "Back 40 Blonde Ale" is AWESOME along with the "Haystack Hefeweizen" - the BEST Hefewizen I have ever tasted. The barbecue is actually quite good - secondary to the beer for me though. They have decent lunch specials, sandwhich and 2 sides for a reasonable price. And 2$ pints on Tuesday. Now, if only Brian would brew up some of that Tres Diablos or pre-prohibition style Pilsner that I used to get at the Bitterend ...

• Pros: great beer, very good barbecue and tasty green beans, friendly bartenders and wait staff
• Cons: barbecue beans are weird sometimes

best ribs in austin

by deanfredrick

these ribs are the best I have put in my mouth. they are not greasy like most rib places, very meaty, meat pulls right off the bone and they have so much flavor. I highly recommend this place for ribs.

• Pros: out of this world ribs

Barbecue joint and brewpub serves smoked brisket, ribs, sausage, turkey and the fixings along with pints of freshly made beer.

In Short
Casually attired Austinites kick back for beer and smoked grub under the oak trees on the laidback wooden deck. The restaurant interior features windowed garage doors overlooking Barton Springs Road that are raised during good weather and provide great people-watching opportunities. As the evening goes on, the restaurant welcomes casual drinkers and diners. Beer lovers partake of five beers made on site, including a hefeweizen, blonde ale, amber and an IPA.
