Live Oak Brewing Company is one of Austin's oldest breweries, best known for traditional German and…read moreCzech style lagers, especially its hefeweizen, pilsner, and seasonal lagers using old world brewing techniques. Founded in 1997 by Chip McElroy, Live Oak was built with a simple idea "make beer for people who actually like the taste of beer." In 2015, Live Oak moved to their current location on a beautiful property along the Colorado River, opening a taproom and biergarten. One its unique features...it's off the beaten path of other breweries. Live Oak Brewing is north of the airport and backs to the Fast Park remote airport parking lot. At first glance it looks like it's a convergence of a fire station and deserted manufacturing plant. The grounds are impeccable...tall statuesque trees, lush green vegetation and an extensive outside biergarten. It feels like you are in a nature bubble. Interestingly, Live Oak Brewing has its own on site 18 hole disc golf course (different from traditional golf) located directly on the brewery's property. Live Oak Brewing's interior has the feel of a German Hofbräu...homey, spacious, and welcoming, with long communal tables that encourage conversation and human interaction. You can see directly into the brewing space, with large tanks and equipment. Also, board games are available if you choose to play. Live Oak is family friendly and dog friendly. In fact, Groot, the owner's dog, freely roams through the brewery drinking area. While I only had sips of beer (not a big beer drinker), my friends enjoyed their beers. Live Oak Brewery Company is a super fun place to hang out.

I got the trio of shrimp tacos and it came out to a bit over $15. While I guess that's not crazy for 3 tacos, it felt like a lot for a taco truck meal. The tacos themselves were good, and I can't hate on them, but it just wasn't my jam. The combination of shrimp and cheese just didn't do it for me in this dish, and I felt like there could have been more shrimp. I dunno. Was a very sloppy meal to eat and I was pretty full when done, in fairness. I'll need to come back here and try something else at some point to give them another chance at a higher rating.

Very artistic, cozy vibes. Tried their spinach kolache and latte…read more Kolache was a good size with creamy filling. Latte was not bad. Initially confused where the restroom was but it's around the corner of the cash register/front area. They also have seating outside and complimentary water station.

They offer both coffee and cocktails (which I'm guessing is where the "day and night" name comes from lol). They're also located near a few other food trucks that are right outside which looked interesting, but were closed when I visited. I loved that they make their syrups in-house and there were so many good options that it made choosing a bit difficult. The barista was super helpful and even suggested mixing two syrups, which I thought was a really cool option to try. I ended up getting a latte with burnt sugar and vanilla syrup. The first sip was great, but as I kept drinking it, it tasted a bit more milky than expected which was honestly my fault. I asked for something not too sweet, so we went with just one pump of each syrup in a bigger 16oz iced drink. Next time, I'd probably stick with the standard three pumps and go with a smaller size so the flavors come through more. Overall, a really solid spot and I'd definitely come back to try some more flavors.

It's exactly the kind of welcoming, laid-back space that makes you want to relax and enjoy the vibe. Service Service was attentive and friendly overall. The only minor note: we would have appreciated more frequent plate changes between courses. Food We discovered some of the best gluten-free cuisine in Austin here...hands down. Every dish showcased fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavor balance: Guacamole: Rich with a well-judged cumin note that enhanced without overpowering Ceviche: A perfectly light appetizer without being aggressively citrusy or fishy Tempura de Pescado Tacos: The standout of the meal. The fish was pristine, each element (sauce, fresh greens, fish) came together seamlessly Duck Panucho Tacos: night quite as impressive but still great textural contrast and vibrant fresh flavors. We're already planning to try the wagyu option next visit Churros: A stellar finish with three complementary sauces. Crispy exterior, soft interior, and excellent flavor Beverages The margaritas were exceptional! Top-notch quality that rounded out the meal perfectly. Overall This was easily our favorite restaurant in Austin. Highly recommended.

This cafe is one of my favorite fantasy driven locations to visit in all of Austin…read more Their rotating special menu with unique flavors make this a standout in an oversaturated marketplace. Austin is known for having a lot of coffee, but very few have identifiable differentiators. Merfolk's creates coffee flavors based on fantasy lore, so you honestly never know what the special menu will have. That's why we keep spending our money there. Many of the drinks are sweet but the staff is more than happy to make adjustments as needed! The ambiance is also so cute and whimsical. I love being in beautiful spaces like this---it makes getting any sort of work done in my laptop much more enjoyable.

Very spacious with lots of room for meet-ups, working remotely, having a coffee date, etc. The drinks are fantastic. I had the Jane Austen (iced) which is a lavender white mocha.

My boyfriend had Angela's Ashes (iced)---I took a few drinks of that and woo-wee is it good. It's Mexican mocha, oatmilk, and cookie butter. The baristas are true artists creating liquid masterpieces.

Chicken taco had a bit of a spice to it, which I liked but my daughter found too "spicy". The quesa-birria tacos were good but not the traditional birria I get in Chicago. These are laid on the grill to get crispy like a quesadilla . Usually the tortillas are dipped in the consome first . This makes them both crispy with added depth and flavor. I liked the green and red sauce as well. Taco sizes were huge. Good bang for buck

Majority of seating is out doors, plenty of shade, fans and misters there were also heaters sitting around when cool weather strikes. Our waitress was kind and knowledgeable about the offerings , she was sure to check in with us through our time here. The arroz mariscos was my favorite dish, topped with the spicy sauce they served separately, I did noticed there was 6 muscle shells but 3 of them were empty. we also had the following: causa limena - it was good I really liked the civiche on top, the chicken salad wasn't too amazing and the potato was intresting, the juice at the bottom was delish! arroz chaufa - this was a fried rice dish , it did have a little cinnamon in it so beware if you don't like cinnamon/ lomo à la hauncaina- I tried the noodles which were a great texture- they sauce it was served in was okay- wasn't crazy about it and I didn't try the meat but heard it was amazing! tacu tacu - pan fried potatoe pattie toooed w onions and cilantro, loved this dipped in the spicy sauce we had on the side! papa andinas -not a favorite, tastes plain with lots of flavorless seasoning dusted on them- they were okay once dipped in the sauces served on the side but the potatoes them self needed salt and maybe another seasoning to make them pop sarza criolla - just a mix a red onions, cilantro and seasonings- a few dishes were already topped with this mixture. 10/10 recommend checking them out !

The toppings (salsa and veggie mix) were also very tasty. The platanos were also very good, but not sure it's worth the price compared to the value you get for the pupusas. The service was also nice and quick, and they have some outdoor seating that is fairly nice for a food truck. Absolutely recommended even if it's a drive... The pupusas were great and super affordable!
