    Frozen Margarita
    Airon A.

    SABG is a fun hangout located on Menchaca Rd. I came here for a retirement party so it is a great location to host events. We had two large picnic tables reserved and they provided us with drink tickets for the bar. There are a variety of food trucks located on the property. The bar had a variety of drink options and the staff was efficient. I tried several different drinks on the menu including Fez Margarita, Mexican Martini, Frozen and Watermelon Margarita. I also ordered tacos at a local food truck. The night we were there they were having music bingo and live music from a local DJ which was so much fun. Some people in our party won prizes from participating in the bingo. Overall a fun location with indoor and outdoor spaces with a variety of food and drink options. Great place to have an event or party.

    This is a cool area in a bizarre location in South Austin (located between a residential area and a JW Kingdom Hall). We decided to get out of downtown and went to the South Austin area and ended up here. It was a beautiful weekday afternoon so there were only a handful of people there. The bartender was great and helped us find brews that we liked. Note - there are food trucks on site but there was only one open since it was a weekday, so don't arrive hungry. It's a laid back place to enjoy a couple drinks.

    Note: this is a SMOKING FRIENDLY location. I am not personally a smoker, so I don't typically frequent places that allow smoking. However, this is not the whole reason for the rating given. I've been to SABG a couple times and had very different experiences. The first time I went, it was great. Just a random off-hour time during a week day. Walk right up to the bar and order a drink or order from your table. Super casual. Great patio for good weather. TVs, some games / music available, cool. However, my most recent time I went on NFL Sunday to enjoy the nice weather and watch the Cowboys game. Other times I had been, I hadn't really noticed that there was anyone smoking here - this time was different. There are ashtrays at all tables (inside and out) and they sell packs of cigarettes as well as beers. Personally I don't love being at a place with cigarette smoke, but I wanted to watch the game (which was on and easy to see with all the TVs). Well you can't really get away from the smoke and I'd get a big waft in my face every couple minutes from the surrounding tables. Smoking aside, I did very much enjoy that it was easy to find a place to sit, easy to watch the game, and the beers were good & brought out quickly if you ordered on mobile. We also ordered a snack (for some reason I thought there would be more food options, but that is not the case at this location now - go grab something from the trucks across the street). Ordered the "chips and queso" which turned out to be from the BBQ food truck onsite. Well, first of all this was not chips and queso, but rather stale Fritos and fake nacho cheese (that honestly tasted like it was spoiled). $9 wasted. Don't trust the Yelp photo of "chips and queso" from 3 years ago... Overall, I think the NFL game really contributed to the cigarette smoke with more patrons than usual. The patio and beers were nice on a sunny Sunday. The food was terrible.

    Finally made it to SABG! I had heard really good things about this place but just never managed to make it a priority/stand alone visit. Book club was hosting here so I was looking forward to the relaxing outdoor vibes. The extra parking lot is a huge feature and I'm sure it fills up on the weekends but on a Wednesday night there was plenty of parking. Overall the frozen margarita was the standout- not as good as Zelick's but strong & delicious. The bartender was nice and service was quick. I didn't eat but the tacos seemed to be a long wait for every order even though it wasn't busy so be sure to get your order in early. Everyone liked their tacos but portion size looked small to me. IMO there was not really anything special about the atmosphere - I think the inside "locals hangout" was the main vibe. The outdoor seating was much smaller than I expected and I wasn't impressed. It is off of a busy road so I would prefer something set back like Texas Keeper Cidery or Treaty Oak that has a prettier/more romantic vibe. Music was too loud for a book discussion even though we were outside. Overall, Armadillo Den has a cooler atmosphere but parking is severely limited so SABG is a good option for parking and quick drinks.

    Covered patio!

    Our new watering hole! We love this place. Beto and Chris are both awesome and so nice! Haven't tried any of the food trucks yet but there are plenty to choose from. The drinks are cold and not too pricey either. We were stoked to find this is where the 'Austin Texans' go to watch Houston Texans games so we are definitely planning on making this a routine Sunday stop (even if they are really bad, lulz).

    Tacos from Achiote
    Sage O.

    This place was a nice vibe and I liked that they have food trucks! I'm reviewing here because there's not a yelp page for "Achiote" the taco food truck here...Their tacos were delicious! I'm all the way North but came down South for an event. If you're South, come and you won't be disappointed, but if you're North, it's not worth the drive - there's many beer gardens and tacos that are just as good on that side of town!

    I dig this place, but don't put money on TouchTunes - they'll pause it and play what they want. ‍
