Sad review as may be their last, 1/4 is set to be their last day of being open for business. I…read morealways forgot this place was here, it's super convenient to us but the location was easily forgettable as it wasn't really visible from 79. Ticked away in a little complex without 79 visibility along with a couple of other places that don't seem to get much traffic either. Finally made our first visit so we could try "the best fish & chips" in the Austin area. I was surprised how big it was, they have a patio, a bar area and lots of tables I was shocked as from the outside it looks tiny. Service was fantastic which was shocking with them closing soon. The service was enough to want me to go back hopefully for us in this area they end up somewhere close by as I know how hard it is to find good workers. Pretzels were good! Onion rings were our favorite! Their version of the Philly was just okay, was very plain with not much flavor hubby didn't even finish half. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. My son was over the moon! Couldn't even finish half of it and he wanted to haha. Sad to see they will be closing their doors but hopefully the owner has something else up his sleeve as they were onto something with this place.

Service was good, and the ambiance was fun. Lots of sports on the multiple tv screens. My friend…read moreenjoyed her beef curry, and the portion was so generous that she had leftovers to take home. I ordered the fish and chips. The piece of fish was enormous! It was cooked well, if a little too much breading for my taste. The chips were really good. The tartar sauce was different than I am used to, a little runny and pink tinged, but it was good. The mushy peas were yummy and added an authenticity to the dish. I didn't really use the curry sauce that also came with the dish. To me it doesn't go with fish or chips. I did taste it, and the flavor was great.

Ok, so I'll start by saying that I am not typically a fan of Irish Pubs but I really enjoyed this…read moreone when a friend proposed we go here after encountering lines at a couple of S 1st options. I'll start by complimenting the staff! Everyone we encountered - bar tender, server both - had a great sense of humor and were a pleasure to engage with. They treated us to a round of shots after we had a few rounds. Generally the vibe of the crowd is very friendly and we made some new friends to hang with part of the evening. I did not have the opportunity to eat anything as we came from dinner BUT I did hear from three separate people that the carrot cake is to die for. Who would have thought?

The reason I'm writing this review is because of the TERRIBLE SERVICE. Dining out should be a…read morepleasurable experience, especially since it's become so expensive. Regardless of the food or ambiance the server is the face of the establishment. Bad service can easily lead to a bad review. In this case the waitress, when she finally showed up, was not friendly. She was indifferent, like we were bothering her, and had a borderline RUDE attitude. The clincher was her assumption on who was paying the bill. We waited a good ten minutes for her to initially show up. When she got to the table the first thing she asked for was a credit card to cover the drinks we ordered; which I thought was strange since our family was sitting at a table and ordering dinner. After the food was delivered she never returned to check on us. Other servers had to get us refills and were happy to do so. When she finally returned at the end of the meal with the bill , all smiles of course, she had already run the credit card without ever giving us the bill to review??? The card she asked for, for the drinks, was NOT meant to pay the bill. We were going to split the bill but since she already ran the card the cardholder didn't feel comfortable asking her to rerun the card. This was VERY awkward!! None of us have EVER experienced anything like this ever!! I wish I had gotten her name. I'm giving a 2 star review because everyone though the food was good.

This bar has been a staple for me for so long now maybe 10 years…read more The energy here is something you can hardly find I feel like in Austin any more. It's a come as you are kind of space. With the proximity to the domain it offers the perfect vibe for an afternoon good time. Recently they brought in a new restaurant Yellow Ranger. It's really good. It's a mix of Asian American I would say. They offer so many great things and the service is always amazing. The guy who is always there. (Blanking on his name) He is really cool. He will often walk around letting folks know of any specials being offered that day or week. This last visit they had dumplings (beef) that were amazing For a local spot you can't find a better place. If you havnt gone or are up in the air if you would like this place. I promise you will.

Peaches and Dreams ($10): Sweet and fruity with a lot of sugar. You could not taste the alcohol at all. Raspberry Mule ($10.31): Tasted like a THC drink which was not what we were going for. Mezcal Negroni ($11.34): Strong but did not taste good. Prairie Watermelon ($9.27): A sour beer that was actually not bad and the best of the four.

Well the last two times I ordered I received regular ranch instead of Vegan ranch. Yesterday when I got my black bean burger there were pieces of bacon on it . Now I understand this is the risk you take with ordering at places like this, but a grill separator is not expensive. Nor is it a big ask to use a separate spatula. I was so grossed out I threw my entire meal away. Now I'm not even sure the okra batter is vegan like I was told. Im glad I'm vegan by choice and not for health reasons, because I'm sure this meal would have made me sick. I didn't even eat pork prior to becoming vegan. To find it in my food lets me know this place doesn't care about taking steps to avoid cross contamination. So I will not be returning.

"Nosh & Bevvy Won't Forgive Me for All the Ways They Wronged Me"…read more That title is meant to be ironic. After more than fifteen years as a customer, I made one mistake: a four-dollar tab discrepancy on a day when I had just been turned away from a dental appointment because my blood pressure was too high for treatment. I was upset, distracted, and wanted to be around people I believed were my friends. That was the last day I ever stayed there as a customer. Let's go down the list. I have been accused of skipping out on my tab. The truth is that after fifteen years of faithful patronage, there was one incident involving approximately four dollars. I had added items to my order, paid cash, and made a mistake. One mistake in fifteen years. After that happened, I became concerned that I would continue to be treated as though I couldn't be trusted. In my experience, comments about unpaid tabs continued to surface. Rather than create another misunderstanding, I made a point of being generous. On the very next occasion I tipped Charlie more than fifty percent. Instead of feeling appreciated, I arrived the next time feeling insulted when the entire amount was simply pocketed without so much as an acknowledgment. Maybe others see that differently. That's how it felt to me. The situation became even more disturbing when interactions began taking place outside the bar itself. While standing in front of my own home, I experienced conduct that I considered harassment. As a result, I filed a police report and have the corresponding case number in my email records. What disturbed me even more were stories that reached me through people connected to my former partner. According to what we were told, false rumors were being circulated claiming that my ex-girlfriend had committed suicide. Whether people thought this was gossip, entertainment, or somehow harmless, it was not. The psychological harm caused by spreading something like that is difficult to overstate. Shame on everyone involved. What you don't know is Satara an I  spoke with witnesses that completely implicated Gilbert in the rumor. What strikes me now is that I nearly forgave all of this. I removed earlier reviews because I genuinely wanted to move on. I thought it was over. I thought everyone could move on with their lives. Apparently not. If people insist on dragging the issue back into the light, then here it is. The reality is that I don't even particularly miss the place. What I do object to is being disrespected. When a business chooses to disrespect a customer who supported it for fifteen years, there are consequences. One of those consequences is that customer telling his side of the story publicly. A Message to the Staff: If I believe I am being harassed in public--whether at Night Owl or anywhere else--I will pursue every legal remedy available to me. And Sam, for what it's worth, I am sorry that your employees have represented your business in a way that ultimately cost you a longtime customer and the loss of business from everyone else that read & took this review to heart as a warning & again, Sam & Charlie, for what it's worth I wanted to make all of this go away.  Fifteen years. One four-dollar mistake. And somehow I'm still the one expected to apologize when I feel like my partner and I were the ones most wronged. Because I'm not a completely vindictive man. If I get an apology from every employee that works building that knows me, In writing, I will remove this review. -- Mad Dashiell

Convenient. Came for sports and drinks and that's what we got! Bartenders were super friendly especially the woman bartender. Gosh I wish I could remember her name. I wasn't hungry but are party ordered the fried pickles and fish n chips: my husband said they were the best fried pickles he's had in town and would come back for the fish and chips. That says something if he's saying that. You can tell this is a regular hang out spot for people. Good place for casual eats and sports viewing.
