Good food and ambience . William was a very good server - pleasant and helpful The sliders were tasty

We really enjoyed this place. Unfortunately, we don't come here very often. Life is constantly busy and sometimes it's hard to fit in cool places like this. First, the vibe is great and pretty much all the staff were very friendly. It's nice to see this consistency. We did the bowling, which was a blast. It is not standard length bowling which makes it great for younger kids and random bowling time. Also, it is not those stupid string attached to bowling pins that you see in many places which are super problematic. This functions like a normal bowling alley, just a bit shorter. Such a great experience here. We did order some food and all of it was great. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and food is good. Lots of difference activities to choose. Or if you are not in the mood, it has a great indoor and outdoor vibe. Highly recommend. read more

It was our first time and me and my husband had a wonderful time. We made a reservation for a virtual booth, but showed up early and got a table. We ordered the triple dip. The queso and spinach dip were delicious. It was happy hour so they had deals on the shareables and sliders. We got the Nashville hot chicken sliders and the bacon jam sliders. Both were so good! Chef Justin came out and asked how our food was and then offered us a dessert on the house. We chose the lemon lime tart and oh my goodness this was amazing! He also mentioned that all desserts are made in house daily! Our server Sami was very attentive and kind and followed us to the virtual booth so we kept the tab open. She was on it with refills and checking in for anything! Everything was fun, delicious and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and the vibe was really nice. The only minor complaint was our virtual game froze up a couple of times but once we exited and got back in it was fine. We will definitely be back! read more

Mia was so awesome!! Took such good care of our large group! Food was so all great and so were drinks! The short rib quesadilla was the best! read more

The food was good, but the craft cocktails listed on the menu were inconsistent and watered down. Virtual games are not worth the money to reserve a bay. They kept freezing up and the attendant was useless. We lost about 30 minutes of playtime due to the slow gaming system. We requested more equipment (only 2 firearms in our bay for a party of 4) and never received. Our server was great for the first half-hour. After that we had to flag down other waitstaff to find him. No one ever came to clear dirty dishes and drinkware while we were there. An attendant notified us that we had 10 minutes left of our 2-hour reservation (when in actuality it was 20 minutes). Our server never came after that to check on us or closeout our check. 40 minutes later I had to find another server to do that. That person told me they were so busy because they had to setup for live music that evening. That's just poor management. We were there to celebrate a birthday. I called the day before and requested a birthday dessert as a surprise. The person that answered the phone said it would not be a problem. We never received that either. Due to our server being MIA, by the time we got the check, we did not want the dessert anymore. If I ever go back, I will stick to dining at a table and ordering a beer. read more

This place is aesthetically pleasing! After a long day in the classroom, I enjoyed rounds of karaoke bingo, and tangy Korean sliders that made my soul very happy. The potatoes were my favorite because they were sliced in ovals and arrived with a delicious aioli mayo dip that I tried to replicate at home, but could not, so I must visit this place again! read more

Our server Mia was great, friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drink menu. Hopefully management appreciates what she brings to their business. We only had a few appetizers including the pork belly lettuce wraps, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Pork Belly wraps were very good , sprouts were ok and the cauliflower was not good as there was raw flour inside the califlower which gave it a wierd taste. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect as we headed to the front entrance with club music blasting from inside. Is this place ok for families? Answer- yes, absolutely! And bring your appetite because the food is really good. We just had lunch- the chicken and waffles and Caesar salad were standouts. The portions are huge and we had more than enough to take home. I would love to come back and bowl or reserve a virtual bay. If you're on the fence, check it out. It probably gets more crowded in the evening but daytime is a great time to enjoy with the whole family. read more

We had a great time here to best the heat! We took our 2 year old bowling for the first time and grabbed some appetizers. We enjoyed the pretzel nuggets, the crab cakes and our son had a hamburger with potato wedges. Everything was really high quality and tasted amazing. The bowling alley wasn't a long wait since it was early afternoon. We also enjoyed the dueling piano guys and the songs they sang while we ate. Will def be coming back here for another date or family night soon. read more

Great place! Huge place with lots of space and options for each group. Incredibly fun but chill too! Went for friends retirement party a couple of months ago and was really impressed & happy to have something out here! Edit : Parking lot is massive and NO PROBLEM parking in my friend's Infinity suburban even for noon event on a Saturday! read more

This place is an absolute shit show. Got there at 4pm and was waiting to bowl at 9pm. We ate and hung out and finally went up to the host stand to ask about where we were on the waitlist and the manager had nothing too nice to say. The blonde manager was absolutely disrespectful and was back talking the whole time. For how expensive this place is, none of the staff treats you like it. The only person that was nice was the security guard,Omar. After he was told to kick us out lol. Needless to say, we will never be back. Hope this place gets it shit figured out. read more

The hubs and I stopped in for some lunch and bevvies and we were so happy we did!! $1 oysters to start, super delish!! Then we shared the spare rib quesadilla and the Asian chicken sliders....amazeballs!!! Our waiter was awesome and the atmosphere was chill, it wasn't super packed. We couldn't have aaked for a better experience and will defintely be back!! The only con I can say is the tap beer menu is weak and could use a major upgrade, but they do have a good spirit list. Looking forward to next time! read more

Spare Birdie - Oysters. SO fresh and delish - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

We loved the place, though it's recommended to get a reservation before you head out. We had to sit outside as the indoor tables were all reserved. The food was good, they also gave us a complimentary 30 mins of billiards. read more

An elevated bowling experience is the best way to describe Spare Birdie. For the longest I hesitated to go due to the reviews on service. I didn't experience anything but exceptional service. We did go on a Friday and forgot to make a reservation but luckily were only Waited 30 min for a bowling lane. In the mean time we played darts. Ounce at the lane we ordered our food which was okay. The ambiance was warm, modern and fun! We bowled for an hour were easily checked out and enjoyed it! I recommend checking it out not during peak hours but if unavoidable be aware there are not many lanes so reservations would be best. Or even call and check on wait times to plan. read more

First time here, great service and beautiful atmosphere. Feels great inside and definitely a fun place for a date night or out with mature friends. read more

We had our Christmas party at Spare Birdie and it was fabulous! All of the staff were attentive and friendly! I would totally recommend this venue! read more

The food was amazing compared to any other bowling ally. The prices weren't terrible and the menu was great. Bowling was fun but we should have gone to the virtual side and played one of the many games they offered for the same price as bowling. Will definitely be going back. read more

Y'all, let me tell you about Spare Birdie Public House We went yesterday for our anniversary dinner and couldn't be more happy with our evening! We were sat immediately, our server was super attentive, but the cocktails & food were what left the biggest impression - from presentation to flavor - I can't even pick a favorite item because all were spectacular! If you haven't been, GO ASAP. We can't wait to return especially for their happy hour offerings! read more

Be careful here. There is a hidden fee added to your check significantly inflating the cost. Everything on the menu is more expensive than listed. Basically the prices listed are fake. I had fun bowling but lets be honest. The food prices are way more expensive than any other bowling alley. Drinks are not cheap too. read more

This is a great venue... great indoor and outdoor space. Great food. However, they are losing money due to poor management of events. Went to an event with friends but they didn't have servers outside. Some members of our group had to go to the bar to order and then wait for food and drinks. The bartenders were working their butts off and gracious but should not have to take food orders from everyone attending the concert. They weren't expecting or prepared to take the orders. We missed time with friends because of the 30+ min wait at the bar. Make it simple if you can't find enough people... the hostess desk had 3 people standing around... have them take the orders and send it to a numbered table where the desk is seated. Hire temps from a staffing or event company. You miss sales because it's such a pain to go order and wait. The manager could have saved himself from a bunch of complaints by going out and taking orders! The poor planning has been ongoing at this place. read more

We decided to check out this new venue by having dinner and listening to live music. We were SO lucky to get to see Kenny Hada and the Others! They're an incredible Austin band that I was impressed Spare Birdie brought in. The stage and outdoor area are really nice. They have some comfy chairs for listening, but you can also bring your own. We ate dinner on the patio first. (Definitely quieter area to eat and talk than the inside dining) The food was so-so...expected more for the price, but decent enough. Our server Landon let us move down to the lawn when we were done and kept our tab open and checked on us for refills. We really enjoyed the evening! We did not play any of the games, but they looked really fun, and we do plan to come back to try them. Looks like they have some daily specials, too! read more

Great patio, really good food! Jesse was our server and was fantastic! Made great brunch & drink recommendations! I had short rib hash, daughter had Master's sliders. Hubby had Share Birdie salad with shrimp, all fantastic! 1-800-Tequila was a great cocktail. Very happy with our experience all the way around! read more

Foood very Good but the music kinda loud when you trying to have conversation and the drinks where good too

I live right around the corner and have been hoping for a "Dave and busters" type place- I'm a single adult with no kids but act like a kid. I was SO EXCITED for them to open. Overall it is amazing- if you are on a budget of any kind, it is VERY expensive. They don't currently have a happy or late hour menu, as a teacher on a budget I wish they did so I could come move often. 5 stars for sure if they had a happy/late hour menu. We will be back for games, just went for appetizers and cocktails this time. Everything was delicious. Ceviche wasn't as great as I'd expect for that price but still delicious. Bartenders were fun and attentive. The look is really fancy, but relaxed in a way too. I even saw someone wiping the chairs down- yay for cleanliness! Walked around and looked at whole area, the virtual screens have plenty of room and feel private. The bowling is only a few lanes but cute and well spaced out. Darts and billiards are by the bowling area. There is also an outdoor area with a stage for live music and lots of seating. I look forward to seeing how this place grows and becomes a staple in the community. read more

Went here last night and everything was great including service, our server was Mia. She made the experience 10x better!!!

Fun time with a big group!! Came with a group of about 12, with a reservation in place. Friendly staff greeted and sat us right away and got drinks going asap! I have to emphasize the service here, our waitress was patient and helpful with our big group when a bottle of Prosecco was out of stock she recommended another wine bottle that was a very good option. We had a couple of appetizers including the nachos, and fries, all very good. The space is laid out very well, apart from the bowling they have virtual golf/soccer/ baseball spots that we were able to use while waiting for the lanes. Only detail that didn't sit well was a 3 percent extra charge that was added to the bill, although the restaurant didn't try to hide it by putting a note saying that instead of raising prices on food they would just add a separate charge? All in all you end up paying more, what it felt like was a money grab placing the blame on inflation. Would they lower the price if food prices dropped? Not likely. I do hope this trend of adding extra surcharges comes to an end. Even with this though, the rating would put it at a 4.5 but because it's a such a cool spot to hang out and it's superb staff it deserves the 5th star. Definitely look forward coming back. read more

Recently, I had the opportunity to check out a new spot in town called Spare Birdie. To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I first arrived, but I was eager to give it a try. After some time exploring the different areas of the restaurant, I finally settled on the sit-down menu, although I must note that the menus in the dining area and game areas are different. Since my review is based solely on the sit-down dining experience, I can't speak to the games. The interior of Spare Birdie is truly stunning. Everywhere you look, there is a noticeable amount of attention to detail that has gone into creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The décor is both chic and cozy, making it the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a date with someone special - but you have to understand that depending on where you're sitting you could be hearing kids running around, the sounds of bowling balls, etc. During my visit, I was impressed by the level of service I received. Katie, our server, was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Throughout the meal, I also noticed that the entire team, including a busser, manager, and chef, were checking in on us. This was especially impressive as they were still in their soft opening phase. I started off with the "Bananafashioned" cocktail, which was delicious and perfectly balanced. For an appetizer, my girlfriend and I decided to try the grilled oysters, which were fantastic. For our main course, we ordered the Flat Iron Steak Sandwich and the Short Rib Melt. Both sandwiches were amazing, but I have to say, the Flat Iron Steak sandwich was cooked to perfection and the Short Rib Melt literally melted in my mouth. The flavor from the truffle butter and raspberry mustard was a real surprise and did not disappoint. The pictures don't do it justice but you have to just try for yourself! In conclusion, I would highly recommend Spare Birdie to anyone looking for a unique dining experience with great food and fantastic service. Whether you're in the mood to play some games or simply want to enjoy a delicious meal, this spot has you covered. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings! read more

The food was awesome, but the gaming experience was HORRIBLE! I took my 6 yr old grandson to play and neither of us could make the games work! He had to stand back so far (4 ft) from the screen that he couldn't throw it hard enough to make contact. Even I tried and it was not registering. We searched for 5 minutes for a golf ball, only to eventually flag someone down who said we had to use a larger ball. Again, he couldn't hit it hard enough to register with the game. We tried all of them, even the shooting ones, and had a miserable experience. He asked to leave after 25 minutes. I paid $40 for an hour's play and we only stayed for half the time. The staff was indifferent. There should be a disclaimer that kids of a certain age and skill level are not suited to this experience. It's unfair to take my money when we couldn't play the games! Next time, I'll take him to Dave & Busters or Kalahari where he can actually enjoy himself. I don't mind paying for it, IF he can enjoy himself. read more

Place is cool but service and management is terrible, food is incredibly over priced. They will charge you for extras and not tell you they will add a 20% tip if your party is 6 or more so be ready for extra terrible service because the servers don't need to work for it. Be sure to check your bill! read more

Valentina is the GOAT! You should request her if you come here. She was super respectful and kind and super accommodating when we made some changes during our reservation. We had the best time thanks to her! read more

Had a great girls night! Loved playing real darts and bowling. Our server, Sarah B, was very pleasant and attentive.

Nice night to sit on patio and have some local draft beers. We shared some apps and kid could run and play. Sure missed having some live music though. Valentina was attentive and very friendly. Make sure to ask for her! read more

They are cheating people. They list deceptively lower menu prices and disclose in fine print that it will be inflated at the end. This practice added over $230 to my check. The price you see should be the price you pay. Actual fee was very small but the point stands. They can legally multiply the menu prices by anything they want if the have a line at the bottom. read more

Valentina was the bomb! Super sweet and attentive! Place and set up is dope! Will definitely come back for drinks!

Awesome experience, especially thanks to our server- Valentina is the best!!!! Ask for her!!!

We went there at Brunch-Lunch time , the wait is ridiculous. We could see all the empty tables, we were told that the wait was about 15 minutes (the guy upfront was RUDE , didn't even look at us in the eyes, didn't say goodbye at the end EMBARASSING ) We finally got a table , sat down by the same guy upfront NO COMMENT, me and my husband waited another 20 minutes before someone had the decency to come and even take our order, I literally was about to get up and leave. Food wasn't anything special . Don't go here do a favor to yourself ! read more

Really impressed with this spot! I saw a lot of post via social media and decided to check it out. The place is stunning, love all the details, decor etc. It may be a bit confusing but there's like 4 things do in one place: bowling, vr games, dine-in, bar/yard games (pool/darts) For what's it's worth the drinks weren't the best, we stuck to beer. The service was okay, but this is a new restaurant and they are still trying to figure it out! Have grace and patience as they get in the swing of things. Everyone in our group enjoyed their hummus, super impressed! Would definitely come back, but beware this is pricier than your normal bowling alley. read more

Nope nope and nope. If you run a business that has to add a 3% 'restaurant fee' in the fine print hidden at the bottom of your menu... well, you're a shitty run business that's taking advantage of your customers and you deserve to be named and shamed. This nonsense from hospitality venues has gotten out of control. I for one just avoid these places and try to tell everyone I know who is also sick of this shit so they too can avoid your business. read more

Fun vibe and great set up for the bowling and pool area. Reservations are recommended for activities unless you have the time to wait it out. Servers are extremely nice and welcoming. Warning tho....DO NOT COME HERE FOR THE FOOD!!! Food is insanely SALTY and expensive for the quality. We had truffle fries, flatbread, trio dips, sliders, grilled cheese, soup, salad, shrimp toast, chicken and waffles..and disappointed in everything but the wagyu sliders. Go at happy hour order drinks and bowl, play pool, hit a few balls, play golf, listen to their live music or whatever because there is no place like it in the area, but unless they any in the kitchen changes...stay away from the sodium inducing food! read more
