    MAPLE-BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS
    Sharon J.

    We ordered the taco flight and some things off of the $5 happy hour menu and everything was great!! The drinks were strong and the customer service was great from Quinton and Bree. I loved the vibe and it was very clean

    It's a good place and a nice addition the area over there - maybe sometimes you want to change it up from Scholtz. Fun beer list and the food was pretty good - wings, sliders, pretzel nuggets. Nice vibe inside too. The ppl who worked there were super friendly. Overall it's a good time and would def come back.

    ZERO PROOF COCKTAIL FLIGHT
    Maria Gabriela M.

    This place is great for large parties. I went with friends and we were around 12 people and it worked perfectly for an after work drink. The food was decent, and the tacos were good. I ordered a zero proof cocktail flight but honestly it wasn't my favorite. My friends had beers and said they were good. The vibe is nice and the service was very good. They give you a token to track what you order and you just pay everything at the end, which makes it easy for groups. Also, there's plenty of parking around. Overall, a good spot to hang out with friends, especially if you're going with a big group.

    I was very happy to see that a new restaurant had popped up near the University of Texas campus because dining and drinking options are virtually nonexistent near Moody Center. I stopped by just before a scheduled concert and discovered that they opt for a limited menu when anticipating a surge of concert goers. The limited menu didn't seem as appealing as their full menu, but I understand their reasoning for it. I like the concept of pouring your own beers (similar to the Wanderlust wine spot), but the beer pricing is more expensive than basically anywhere else in town. An approx 16oz pour of Hi Sign Violet ran me about $12, so this is def not the place to sit, camp for a while and drink. As stated earlier, the regular food menu seemed great, so I'll likely return to check it out.

    A friend and I went the week of their grand opening before a concert at the Moody Center. When we checked in, we were asked to put down a card and were given a card for their "on tap" options. Our server was great - accommodating our food preferences/requests and checking in as needed without being pushy or avoidant. The sliders were delicious & the fries were nice and crispy. The drinks were on the stronger side (we shared the margarita flight) but they were good. Surprisingly, my favorite was the blueberry one! Their happy hour deals are great - and it's location makes it easy to get to nearby entertainment

    I have mixed feelings about this spot. For starters, I think it is a great location for UT Students or those in the area for a concert or event however, parking and traffic are insane during the evening. The website states they validate parking but there isn't any signage letting customers know which garage is correct. The designated garage has two entrances, one for Retail Only of which access was denied and another with signs for ERS. A law abiding citizen would enter the Retail Only side but as stated above, access was denied. Only after calling was I notified to enter on the ERS side. After finally finding parking, we were seated promptly. They weren't that busy for a Taco Tuesday. I ordered the Magarita Flight and the Taco Flight. The margaritas are much smaller than they appear online. However, they were good. Also, for the taco flight, they ran out of corn for the elote taco so it was replaced with fried cauliflower. The flight consisted of fried cauliflower, chicken, steak, and fried avocado. While I can complain about not being able to try the elote taco, the fried cauliflower taco was a great choice as a replacement. In fact, it was the best taco on the flight to me! My visit wasn't horrible and now that I slightly know the ins and outs, I would like to try them again. Especially for their brunch and drinks on tap.

    Tapville This is the soft opening, so I'm excited to see how it improves over time. On Wednesday, they have half the taps, which is a huge plus! It's going to be a great spot to unwind after work. Honestly, I think it might be a bit pricey for what it offers, but I think the location might be a factor. It's definitely going to be a popular spot, especially once the patio furniture is added! Food we tried: Santa Fe Eggroll - okay Elote - okay Fries - good Chicken bacon ranch Wrap - which had crispy tortilla( but need to eat it quick it doesn't get soggy from the tomato- good

    Taco Tuesdayyyyyy I decided to try out Tapville on Taco Tuesday. When I walked in a was greeted with a warm welcome . I got the taco flight and the zero proof flight. Unfortunately, main zero proof base that is typically used was unavailable. I talked to the bartender about tweaking them and using what was available. He used a spiced rum base and it was good in all of my drinks. I would suggest having Ritual Zero Proof on hand to avoid not being able to do certain drinks for the zero proof drinks. My server was amazing and I enjoyed my experience with the service. The ambiance was clean and calm! Taco flight: Avocado taco- Nothing special, it was just a fried avocado. The flavor wasn't special. Steak/beef- It was flavorful, but had a unique flavor that I couldn't quite explain Chicken- The chicken taco was dry, the flavor wasn't bad though Fried mushroom - This was available because the elote taco wasn't. This taco was the star of the show. This needs to be on the menu! My favorite taco: mushroom My least favorite: avocado Zero Proof flight: Wild berry whisper Bloom noir Sol y limon Citrus spritz Honestly I enjoyed them all! The wild berry whisper and Sol y limon were my favorites. I will definitely come back for brunch

    This spot is brand new--just opened a few days ago--and already feels like it's on its way to becoming a popular hangout. The location is excellent, especially for anyone coming from the UT Swim Center, the football stadium, or nearby State offices looking to unwind after work. The vibe is trendy yet welcoming, with a good mix of food options, plenty of beer taps, and creative cocktails. For a place that's only been open three days, they're off to a solid start. As with any new establishment, there are a few kinks still being worked out, but nothing that overshadows the overall experience. Stopped in for lunch and it was both convenient and enjoyable--I can see this becoming a regular go-to spot once they settle into their rhythm. Service was top notch as well. Two items on order were incorrect and they provided a complimentary cheesecake to compensate. Food ordered: LOVE TAPVILLE BRANDED ONTO BUN! 2 fried chicken sandwiches - ordered as fried, came as grilled. When fried, one was slightly over cooked but good. Loved the toasted bun. Chicken bacon wrap - good Brussels sprouts - good We and others around us, all really wanted the fajita bowl but it's only offered after 3pm. PLEASE rethink this option!!!!!

    GUINNESS-BATTERED FISH & CHIPS
    Lance H.

    My first time to Austin and my first bar to visit. Everyone was so friendly. The restaurant has a bar and a good amount of tables to sit at. I ordered the fish and chips and they were great. I just removed some of the batter but the fish was tender, and nice and hot. Everyone from check in was all very friendly. They have beers on tap which you can pour yourself and the prices are on each one. The Longhorns were playing across the street so it was not that busy, I'm sure it will be packed when the game is done.

    Waiting to be served at this place. And i walked in 5 mins ago. Let's see if i am waiting a little longer

We were treated nicely, but we definitely could have gotten in right away. By the time we walked in, the place was probably at 60% capacity. It was standing room only at the bar, but not overcrowded by any means. There is a dress code, but it's not entirely clear what it is. Some guy dressed to the 9s got turned away for not having sleeves whereas I got in with sneakers and a t-shirt. They ask for your cellphones upon entering and give you a key in exchange, but there doesn't seem to be any security to enforce it if you don't want to give them up. I have no problem with their policy, but I bet a lot of customers do. Interestingly, their little social experiment seemed to have a positive effect, where we ended up talking to strangers and vice versa. The Powder Room may be making America social again.

Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

The bartenders are amicable, and the menu showcases some creative - and creatively named - cocktails. Lara went with a Moon Song (rum, blackberry, lime, and honey with lavender cold foam) and an espresso martini and enjoyed both. I opted for a zero proof drink: the high and mighty (agave, nonalcoholic ginger and floral liqueurs, jasmine tea, and spiced salt). It was refreshing but didn't quite hit the mark for me. What should have been complex and balanced came across as overly floral. All told, Marlow is worth a visit even if it is unlikely to wow you.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

    Papercut is another one of those fabulous places close to my home (as in walkable) that I've been…read morewanting to get to and finally did with a group of friends made through Yelp. I felt the vibe instantly, like as soon as I put one foot in the door. Magical, sophisticated, worldly, wonderful and more were the feelings that spontaneously hit me. The dark and elegant decor, lighting, design, & layout made me feel as though I were in a high-end Tokyo cocktail lounge. The front room as I mentioned is an intimate bar and lounge area with artwork adorning the walls. It's a modern, minimalist, and sleek space. The artwork is ever-changing (every couple of months or so) and the cocktail menu changes right long with it. Note: artwork is available for purchase. What an absolutely glorious way of combining different mediums (liquid art vs physical art). The craft cocktails & mocktails are the epitome of works of art. I've had great cocktails and mocktails elsewhere but honestly I'd be hard pressed to find anything on this level. You're taken into an entirely different realm just watching the genius of mixologists. It's mesmerizing watching them hone their craft. In the back of the lounge is an enclave of eclectic art and other pieces that then leads you to Konbini, the sushi bar. It's an industrial, warehouse vibe with a long counter that screams hip, Tokyo inspired, late-night eatery. Service is impeccable and welcoming at this cosmopolitan venue. It's truly an amazing experience.

    I am going to leave a similar review here that I am planning to leave for Konbini because at the…read moretime of writing, Papercut and Konbini were doing service in the same room. I was pretty bothered by my experience here. Even aside from their mid drinks, it felt like we were constantly chasing down servers and they were only attentive when they needed something from us. We went to the photobooth to take pictures before we sat down, but the machine ate my money and broke down. I let a server know, and he came back and said he would comp $20 off of our meal, which I was happy about. I honestly only wanted them to refund me my $10 for the photobooth strip. However, they came back a few minutes later and gave us a photo card and told us to use it to pay for the photobooth and it could be used an unlimited amount of times. I was also happy with this solution, but what happened afterwards left a bad taste in my friends' and my mouth. We hadn't gotten menus or been asked what we wanted to order yet. We were just waiting around for drink menus and food menus, so we didn't want to get up and go take photos when they might come back to take our orders. The manager (?) came back to me a few minutes later and asked if we had taken photos yet, and I let him know that we were waiting to be given menus. He said someone else would give us menus, and another server gave us only a drink menu. A few minutes later, we are still waiting for food menus. The same manager came back and asked us to not lose the photo card. At this point, we were frustrated. Why come back constantly to ask for a photo card when we haven't even been given our food or our menus yet? When we finally got our food, a different server asked if we had given back the photo card yet. They were so pressed about getting this photo card back and not actually getting our orders, and we also thought it was a bit distasteful to offer a solution (the $20 off the meal) but then go back on it with the photo card. It was presented as "unlimited" swipes but we were rushed to give the card back, and realistically, we only had enough time to take one set of photos. The drinks themselves were truly just okay. I don't think any of us were particularly impressed with our drinks, but the interior of Papercut is really nice and intimate.
