I have been going to Winston's for my latte for almost a year. Enjoy the ambiance, location and my…read morelatte. Unfortunately, that changed today. My small latte, with only 1/2 shot of espresso was $5.95 that I purchased one week ago. Yes, the prices have steadily increased over the year, but I accepted that due to inflation and competition. What I cannot tolerate is that in one week my drink went from $5.95 to $7.33. I wish my salary followed Winston's unbelievable increase in one week. P.S. Winston's reached out to me and following up on several emails, I now understand why the latte charge had increased. Apparently, I hit the button for tip, not realizing it, and when I questioned the server, she just said that was the price of the latte. All is good. I will get my latte from Winston's again.

When we pulled up to it, I wasn't so sure it was the right place when it went to a residential area but found that the brewery was an old house and it was busy that weekend. There was still some parking in the lot and we managed to squeeze in. Seating wise we also managed to squeeze in, the brewery is a converted home and brewing takes up a lot of space; also didn't help that my friend is 6'4 and around 250+ so any place is going to feel cramped. The beer however, is interesting. You can tell that the beers are made how they want it to be made, from the styles to the names, there's a uniqueness and dare I say, joy to it comes through from the staff to the beer itself.

One of my favorite bars in Austin. Some people might see it as a little divey, but that's honestly…read morepart of the charm. The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed, and easy to settle into whether you're there for a quick drink or hanging out for the night. The drinks are consistently great, and they also have really solid weekday food specials. The sliders and tots are definitely the go-to items on the menu and always hit the spot after a few drinks. One thing I especially appreciate is how much effort they put into the themed décor during Christmas and Halloween. It really adds personality to the space and makes coming back during the holidays feel fun and memorable every year. Just an overall great neighborhood bar with good vibes and a lot of character.

I realize I haven't updated this review since relocating to Austin two years ago. As you may have…read morenoted from my previous review, I'd come here twice a year when visiting from the east coast. One of my stipulations for relocation was to be within walking distance of my beloved Nickel City. Guess what? I am! Less than a five-minute walk. I love this place so much. It's not always about drinking. In fact, quite often I'll do mocktails, water, or soda. It's about community and friendship. The vibe at NC can't fully be expressed in words. It has to be experienced. The staff treat locals and tourists like friends. And, if you're lucky enough, you actually become friends. They're like a family. Same can be said about patrons, whether regulars, sometimers, or tourists, everyone feels the love. Everyone just gets it! They have some of the best cocktails around. The frozen Irish coffee is incredible. Espresso martinis on tap? Yes, please! And if you want the best bar/comfort food ever then order from their food truck, Delray Cafe. Crinkle cut fries A+ Smashburgers A+ Hot Dogs A+ Grilled Cheese A+ Pizza Logs A+ Tater Tots A+ Everything on the menu A+ Be sure to give the gang in the kitchen (food truck) some love! They're putting out the real deal. Oh and let's not forget Steak Night! Much love to my fave neighbor, Nickel City!

Everything was really good and packed with flavor. For drinks I ordered a white sangria that was ok and a strawberry lemonade that was really good!! For the main plate, most of us ordered the Steak Frites, and it was so good. The food came out pretty fast, which was a nice bonus, especially for a large party. The service was great throughout our visit, and everyone was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere and is a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or coworkers. We parked close by in one the garages and walked to the restaurant. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we tried and would definitely come back!

It's hard to find pasta and pizzas in the same menu and North Italian did good with that. My order: Zucchi chips Cacio e Pepe Pizza Zucchini chips were thin wafers fried gold brown with batter.

The pizza on the other hand was bland too but the pecorino and cheese from Cacio e pepe tasted perfect and the combo just kept it going. Loved the ambiance and the atmosphere.

I'm a sucker for anything British, even if it's a gaming room. Who doesn't love a board game cafe?…read moreThey had me with the architecture. Pure Tudor elements and vibes. They've got a huge outdoor patio with a Tardis and lots of seating. Inside they've got a couple of different rooms. You enter in the coffee house/bar side that has counter and table seating. They have a wide variety of tea, coffee, cocktails, 30+ beers on tap, n/a, sodas, etc. The center of space is a shop with gaming items, plushies, books, etc. Off to the right is a very large dining area with several cove-like Tudor booths. Perfect for large gaming teams and events and rad that you're able to have a meal or snack while playing (no outdoor food or drinks allowed). This is a perfect haven for D&D peeps. The British theme runs throughout the entire space including the menu. My boyfriend and I shared a Bavarian pretzel and brisket pie. The brisket pie was incredible and made feel like I was back in the UK at a local pub having a bite. Absolutely perfect. I'm not a gamer and you don't have to be to appreciate this inclusive, welcoming environment. It's eclectic, charming, & tasty!

Made a reservation in advance - for a small table, it cost $35. This includes 5 hour reservation time and unlimited access to their library of board games. They've got an extensive beer + cocktail list, coffee items, and a bunch of delicious pub food items to choose from. We shared a delicious spinach artichoke dip served with hot French bread. We also enjoyed hot cocktails on a cold winter night - hot toddy's and Irish coffee. Absolutely fantastic. After gabbing about the book, we chose to play Ticket to Ride, a classic board game. Had a blast , and look forward to coming back and trying more delicious drinks, eats and games!

This is an amazing value on weekday lunch for hotpot. Provided u like lamb and clams…read more I tired Kpot one day and really like hotpot more than kbbq. So since then I have tried to ace how much more value I can get out of there ayce menu towards what I like. On weekdays lunch for hotpot is 22$, I loved dipping lamb and clams on my Sichuan hotpot so I just doubled down on it. Here is my goto: - One big plate of lambx2 - clamsx2 - Black fungus/mushrooms - Lotus Root - Tofu skin Then I order either 2 plated of crawfish or 2xsliced pork. Sauce bar is awesome and I just take banchon from that and no rice or ramen. This is a sumptuous lunch u can treat urself once a month.

Visit #2 at this location for the recent holiday weekend with my little one. Service was great!…read moreFood was up to par as usual. The ambiance was lively but not too busy since we didn't have to wait to be seated despite coming in right at the lunch hour on a Sunday. The only thing was that they apparently raised the prices for everything since it was a holiday and the weekend. We were notified prior to ordering that an extra $5 was added per person for Mother's Day. You'd think they would do the opposite for the mom's at least, but that wasn't the case. Otherwise, I know we'll be back again whenever we crave AYCE kbbq and hot pot since we do pretty often.

Although I had originally purchased a fairly complete outdoor set of side tables, fire pit table,…read moretwo chair rockers and a love seat rocker we haven't returned since those days. The one item we did realize while in there, their price point was up there, but I didn't have much to compare to. Now some 7ish yrs on, it was time to replace the cushions. Our suite sits outside under a pergola, fully exposed to all the elements. They had been cleaned by the wonderful Ms Suzie, but they are grotty, green pollen stained, a little hole here and there. I started my search last spring, bogged down by C19 availability, difficult communications.. etc. One of my chairs had a bent rocker arm and leg, don't know how that happened. But, here is where paying for quality pays off. Winston Patio were great and actually replaced the arm for nothing... in fact they ended up sending me several arms, just in case. Anyway, I eventually reached back out to Backyard, formerly Outside In Style, to check on availability of cushions. Surprisingly, Jamie our original sales rep replied quickly and we began getting this together. 8 Cushions and $2700 later, we ordered them. On July 29th. They arrived yesterday and got the call. During this time I had reached out to Jamie to check status and she always replied promptly and on point. The location is convenient for us, just off of 71, well marked. Massive show room with all kinds of stuff. The gentlemen who helped us load the cushions was extremely nice and helpful and even helped me troubleshoot the bent leg and fix. I would imagine you could find less expensive stuff at the big box stores, however, I would find it hard to believe the furniture would still be in as good nick as our Winston's have faired over the past 7yrs. We picked up covers this time around, which I would imagine will keep the cushions like new much longer. Job done Backyard... we will be back, for some reason Suzie wants me to buy an outdoor grill... oh boy.
