It was a little tricky to find at first since it shares the space with other bars. For a beer garden, the selection felt a bit limited, but the drinks we had were good. There were also a couple of food trucks on site, which made it super convenient to grab a bite without leaving. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially considering how busy it was. Overall, a solid spot to hang out, catch a game or fight, and enjoy some drinks.

Nothing but 49ers jerseys and flags and the game on everywhere! Lots of covered seating, great deck, love all the decor, and all of it in great condition. The outdoor area off the deck has some areas for kids to play, but it's best for older kids. Seesaws are metal and fun, but there is no fence to keep those kiddos corralled in which I know some people look for. Parking was limited, and there were kids playing games and football in the parking lot which made me a little nervous, and they were playing with footballs that I could see hitting a car. The food trucks that night were limited, but the Mediterranean food truck was good! Nice falafel, a solid chicken shawarma salad, and hand dipped onion rings and mozzarella sticks that the kiddos definitely enjoyed. It looks like they have a burger truck too, but it was not open that night. The game volume on high, nice patrons, solid layout for the space they have, nicely maintained, friendly staff that make you feel like you've come there for years, all adds up to another great experience on Manchaca Rd!

While I don't mind a change, it was surprising to find that no Happy Hour drink specials were being offered in the meantime. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and I know the situation isn't in her control. Still, I think it would make sense to keep at least a few drink specials available while the menu transition is happening. Just some feedback for management.

There was a nice large bar and all indoor seating and had that old fashioned early 1900s feel. I ordered the Breakfast Sammie. Like the menu said it was cheesy scrambled eggs, candy bacon, chipotle Honey Aioli on a Potato Bun. It was very tasty with great flavor and enjoyed it very much. It was clean and perfect making it one of the best breakfast sandwiches I had.

Since my last review, I have been here multiple times and I still love it…read more I came here a lot for March Madness. There are so many TVs, there isn't a bad place to sit. There are booths, tables, high top tables, a few picnic styles bench tables, and a pretty large deck. They recently added a side deck. It would be nice if it was covered and then perhaps some lattice or other barrier to keep the Texas sun off your back! I've tried several things on the menu and I've enjoyed them all. I've seen other meals delivered and they all look great too. Today I popped in for a late lunch and lucky me it was still Brunch O'clock. I wavered between the chicken and waffles and the burger. I saw the burger being delivered to a nearby table and it immediately solidified my decision- burger!! I am a burger and fries "foodie". ;) I'm very picky about my burgers and have eaten some of the best burgers in town. It was delicious! The fries aren't my favorite but decent. The burger was perfectly cooked and so was the egg (breakfast burger). I'd definitely get that again! The bartenders are friendly and they are hard workers. This definitely is a place where their systems are intact. They all work together and get orders out quickly. I'm guessing the bartenders and the waitresses all pool their tips. They all hustle. I sit mainly at the bar so I can see their work effort. I've done that job before so I know how hard it can be.

I grew up in the area and will always stop in. However, they just hired a judgmental, rude, and all around ***** bartender named Sophia. I don't know what this girls problem is but unless you are tipping her well and a man you don't mean shit and will wait forever to get served, if you get asked at all what you want for a drink or dinner. I will be walking out if she is working from now on!

My friend and I were looking for a place to have a late bite. After browsing Yelp, we came across…read moreBackspin and decided to give them a try. We sat at the bar. Taylor was our bartender and she was nice. She informed us that they have a limited late night menu which was fine with us. My friend ordered a cheese pizza and we split an order of the chips and salsa. The food was fine for what it was. During the day, they have more options like burgers, sandwiches, salads, and pizza. We also had cocktails. My friend had the Grapefruit 'Tini while I had the Pomegranate Lemon Drop Martini. We both enjoyed our drinks. I like flavored lemon drop martinis, and I'm not sure that I've ever had a pomegranate lemon drop before this visit. The bar is moderate in size, but they do have a patio area. It was very chill during our visit, but I imagine it gets more lively during big games.

The beer list isn't too long, but covers all the bases and the cocktails are good. One disappointment on the cocktails is inconsistencies between bartenders.

There really aren't a ton of fun places like this in South Austin, so if you're in that area, it's definitely worth checking out. They have a few free parking spots, but the larger lot is paid, so carpooling is a good idea. I love that they offer a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, so there's something for everyone. There are also a few food trucks on-site, including Via 313, which is always a win. The space itself is perfect for hanging out, there's a big screen, live music, and even cornhole. It's also dog-friendly, which makes it even better. Overall, it's such a fun, laid-back spot and I'd definitely come back!
