    Pull pork's salty tacos ...
    Luis L.

    It's a wonderful spot but food and service will keep me away i ordered the pull pork tacos and lord they were super salty I just ask the waitress to just put it to go well it only took 40 minutes to get them ... Day of visit 05/04/24

    Late night fee

    Stayed here from 8-11 and got charged a 20% "Late night fee" on top of tip. You're a neighborhood bar, what the hell?

    This is one of the neighborhood bars in the Austin Ranch community. I kept driving by and my husband and I finally decided to stop by. We were both starving and decided to get food and he got a beer as well. We brought our puppy and were able to sit on the patio. We didn't know at first but you have to walk in to get service. Our server was super sweet and we loved how kind she was to our dog too. The food wasn't bad however the portions were small. The chicken fried steak sandwich is not how it's traditionally made. Think McDonald's McChicken but even smaller! And it was 13$! The mac and cheese was 11$ and after eating both entrees unfortunately I still was left hungry. I think if you live close by and want a convenient hang out spot for drinks then this place is a good option. However I wouldn't order food here again- maybe just drinks next time.

    Everything is amazing. Perfect for any occasion be it business or pleasure. There is always something going on and they have amazing deals on drinks. Dog friendly patio, good food, better company. Amazing specials and top notch service If you like something a little more mellow check out their Happy Hour and if you're ready to "shake" it off, "shake" it off go later in the evening. Either way you're guaranteed a fun time. Would visit again.

    Great service and decent flatbreads. If you come before 7, you can sit anywhere otherwise they have a club like structure and the tables are reserved. I was surprised to see bottle service and sparklers at 8 pm. Lol

    Living here is one thing. Having a great hometown bar that understands you and caters to your family, friends , and coworkers. Almost impossible... Brad and the Shakes staff does the impossible.

    The waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was better than I expected. We had the blackened chicken quesadilla but we ate it so fast I didn't get a picture. They also show the UFC fight.

    Saw the photos of the burgers and have been looking forward to coming in and trying one! But while waiting for the burgers, we saw some pizzas delivered to the table by us that also looked delicious and already planning next visit. The burgers were so dang good, definitely did not disappoint. Not your typical bar food, this is actually quality food.

    Definitely my favorite bar in the area, always a good time. Amazing service! Nirvana is the best and always takes the best care of me and my friends. Go see her!! A must for tequila Tuesday and dollar tacos!

    Is it a good place for dancing?

    No it's not. The music is horrible and not a lot of space.

    Do they have live jazz music?

    No, they have a Dj for certain events. But I'll be glad to mention it next time I'm in there.

My double cheeseburger emphasized the meat, well seasoned, right amount of pickles & greens, not overwhelmed with sauce. The tallow fries were as good as it ever gets: crispy, soft inside, must be 2x fried. Outside square had great World Cup fan area. We watched Colombia vs Uzbekistan. My team Croatia lost to England previously, but Haywire soothed my disappointment with an excellent dining experience. BTW: $638.04 with a 20% tip. Great value. This would cost so much more in my home state of California.

We ordered the Boss Hog flatbread, chips and queso, and two margaritas the Skinny Bear on the rocks and the Caddy frozen margarita. We definitely enjoyed the happy hour discounts, which made the visit even better. We started with our drinks, and both margaritas were mixed very well. The Skinny Bear did seem a little stronger, but both had great flavor and were easy to enjoy. For appetizers, we ordered the chips and queso. The chips were thin, crispy, and had a nice dash of seasoning on them, but we do wish they had been served hot. The queso was warm, but not piping hot, and the texture was a little gritty, almost powder-like. We were expecting a creamier cheese, so it was good, but not our favorite part of the meal. Now, the star of the show was definitely the Boss Hog flatbread. It was cooked to perfection, baked really well, and had that nice crispy texture. The toppings were generous, and every bite had great flavor. I would absolutely order it again. The ambiance was also amazing. We loved being able to see the brewery, and the dim lighting set a cool, relaxed tone. The employees were nice, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. I would definitely come back to try more menu items, and I recommend Union Bear for a cute date night, happy hour, or a laid back evening with good drinks and food.

I chose a great day to visit due to the fact it's opening day for the World Cup. The Colony location provided a great atmosphere and opportunity to cheer on Mexico defeating South Africa 2-0.

I wanted to get in early to get a spot since I'm visiting from Florida. I wasn't sure how quickly it would fill up. Madelynn was exceptional and very attentive. She made great recommendations and told me about their Dos Equis contest. I drank a few to help out her sales. I never had to ask for anything and her menu knowledge was great.

Shark spice wings were overcooked and crunchy with no flavor. I had to get buffalo sauce on the side for flavor and had to ask another waitress because ours was nowhere in sight. The cajun chicken sandwich was just ok. Came with a ridiculous mound of lettuce. Once again, I had to use my buffalo sauce to add flavor. Boyfriend got the short rib sandwich. That was decent, but the bread was soggy. Party also ordered the loaded fries. Just ok. Another member of our party didn't have her entree come out until well after everyone had finished (they served her side of fries separately). At that point, she just had them take the entree back, as she just ate her fries during the long wait. At one point, the waitress filled one of our drinks up with water even though the beverage was a strawberry lemonade. She had to be asked more than once for a new lemonade. When the bill came, I noticed I was charged extra for things such as side of buffalo and to switch regular fries to sweet potatoe fries. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to be told about these additional charges. Of course, because it was a party of 12, gratuity was automatically added. Not upset about that, but honestly undeserved. On the positive, the long Island was good. However, I asked for it to be skinny, and when I ordered another one, my waitress messed up my order. She seemed to not care about anything at all . Left dishes and glasses on the table for a very long time i definitely Wouldn't return for the food. Maybe the drinks.
