Great Beer Stories, Killer Wings, and Solid Pizza at The Growler Bar! Don't be fooled! This is NOT just another tap bar, and it never fails to be amazing. Dropped in to kill some time and grab a bite to eat... and left super impressed yet again! The vibe here is perfectly laid-back....chill atmosphere, no pretension, just a spot to relax with great drinks and food. Shoutout to the beer master Eric behind the bar! He's incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he pours. He shared this awesome line that stuck with me: "Every good beer has a story, and the story should be told!" Made the whole experience feel more personal. I went with tap #13, Juicy Fish--a hazy IPA from WeldWerks Brewing Co. at 8.6% ABV. Wow, what a juicy, flavorful beast! Packed with tropical hops, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink for that ABV. Definitely hit the spot. For food, I had 5 wings tossed in the Blazin Ghost Pepper sauce. It's described as a smoky blend with mild ghost pepper heat, and it delivered exactly that....great smokiness upfront, building warmth without incinerating your mouth (perfect if you like heat but not torture level). Wings were crispy, juicy, and tender too. Rounded it out with the Carnivore pizza, loaded with meats and just the right amount of char on the crust. Hand stretched and fresh, it paired really well with the beer. If you're in the Pflugerville area and love craft beer (especially with knowledgeable staff who actually talk about it), wings, or pizza, this place is a winner. Will definitely be back again and again to catch more of the rotating taps and hear more stories from Eric! Get em while you can. They are Beer today gone tomorrow. read more

Went to try Pixel and Pals release and the beers were on point! Good selection options overall and online has availability updates on what's pouring. Staff was easy going! Had the Honolulu calzone. It was ok. Good size too. Was slightly charred but that's not a ding per-se. The filling was a bit underwhelming in quantity (per bite ratio) and overall flavor. Used up the sause on thstone. Next time we will try another version. The meatball Sliders were on point! Hot, tasty goodness for sure. Good job on that one! read more

Growler Bar and Kitchen is a good neighborhood bar tucked into a shopping strip and an easy place to stop in for a drink and a bite. They have plenty of beers on tap and a simple menu with salads, pizzas and bar food. I really like the meatballs and the wings are fine; those are my go to. I'm not a big fan of the ranch they serve with the wings, but everything else is good. This visit I tried their cesar salad, served in a pizza box and it hit the spot. It's clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the people there are friendly and welcoming. Just a good, easy place to hang out. read more

Well I have been coming here since this place opened. I have had phenomenal experiences both with my family and friends. 59 local beers on tap! It's paradise in our local Pflugerville area! This place even rated in the top 20 best places to drink in the Austin area! My friends and I ran up $1,300 to $2,000 tablet one time here. So I don't need to say more but I shall continue to share my experience here. The food here is really great for bar food. They originally started with a BBQ place serving food 4 food trucks coming by support them when they initially opened. Then they built their own kitchen. Their kitchen sink pizza is one of theirnnest pizzas and their salads here are always fresh. I really enjoy some wings and salad on occasions when I come visit. All the staff offer great customer service and we continue see a lot of familiar faces throughout the years. The ambiance is a relaxing one, you have a choice to sit inside or outside when they're nt extremely busy. They have awesome tap options to choose from, include wine, and soda fountain machine. This is kid family friendly environment. If you're visiting Pflugerville for the first time definitely give this place a try and share your experience with us all. read more

Needed an easy hang in Pflugerville and ended up at The Growler Bar & Kitchen--looked like the right call for a low-key night with good beer. Atmosphere: Neighborhood spot energy in the best way--casual, a little buzzy when a game or trivia night is on, and plenty of TVs without feeling like a sports cave. Bar seating runs the length of the room, with high-tops and a few larger tables for groups. Music sits under the chatter. It's the kind of place you can drop into for one pint and end up staying for three. Food & Drink: Beer list is the star--broad mix of local taps, rotating seasonals, and a few wild cards (ciders, sours, the occasional stout that drinks like dessert). Flights make it easy to explore before you commit. Don't pass on the pizza, I really enjoyed my pepperoni bites. Service: Order at the bar, and they'll run food to the table. Bartenders know the tap list and give honest recs. Wrap-up: Easygoing neighborhood hang with a tap wall that'll keep beer folks happy and food that does its job. If you want a chill spot in Pflugerville to catch a game, try a few new brews, and not overthink dinner, this one's an easy yes. read more

We have been coming here for years and still love to food, beer selection and friendly service! I recommend you try the cheese pizza (thin crust) and get it well done. So good! Also the pretzel sticks with bratwurst is a great pairing. Don't forget to check the website for latest beers on draft and even how much is left in each keg. Very cool vibes inside and out on the patio. read more

We stopped for two beers and were minding our own business at the table when Trivia night guy sat down and started banging stuff on the table. Who knew. We were there for at least an hour.. I asked to take a picture with him and he became weird. He gave my friend I am looking at you look... and minutes later we were asked (told) to leave because we didn't get permission to take the photo... we left and did not cause any issues and left no tip for this place and would not recommend this establishment even though we have gone there for years. This place is dead. read more

Stopped by and we were on a second drink when the trivia guy showed up and began slamming his equipment down on our table. When we asked him to stop he became confrontational and had the staff ask us to leave. Obviously they received a zero tip and I will never come back to this place. read more

Stopped by The Growler Bar and honestly... such a good experience. We ordered the lemon pepper wings, the Korean wings, and a pizza -- and everything hit just right. The wings were super flavorful (the Korean ones had the perfect little kick), and the pizza was exactly what we needed to round everything out. The vibe was relaxed, the food came out quickly, and it just felt like one of those easy, enjoyable nights where everything tastes good and the atmosphere makes you want to stay a little longer read more

Stopped by here last night with my good friend Manny! We caught up outside on the benches under a breezy texas sunset! The drinks here are great, we just had some beers. I got hungry so I ordered the chicken tenders. They have a great sauce selection and I went with the buffalo. I thought the tenders were above average and fresh. This is a great place to catch a sports game and I think they had trivia going on while we were there so that was fun to see. read more

Super great place, staff is nice, you can try the beers, pizza slaps and the pizza knits are even better.

Stopped in to grab some pizza rolls. We ordered the 2 sours they had , a zilker and jesterkings sour- both pretty good , I favored the jester king one today(#40) . We ordered the herbavore pizza and the pizza rolls with black olive and mushroom. Pizza was good nothing to rave about- veggies were a bit undercooked. The pizza rolls were really good , I like the seasoning that comes on top, however they seemed to not be cooked through all the way leaving them a bit "doughy" inside. For 15$ they don't really fill them with a lot of the toppings either. Bartender was friendly however the lady who brought our food didn't speak until I spoke to her and didn't seem to want to be at work today- could read more

The salad was delicious and I enjoyed the fact that they let me charge my phone here. I will try to be back. They customized my salad and gave me extra dressing. read more

This establishment has both indoor and outdoor bar picnic table type seating. The indoor seating is a bit narrow and can be a bit tight as ordering is taken at the counter. The service was friendly and helpful when trying to choose from the many tap options. They also have wine options. The pizza was great. We ordered the Hot Tropics and cheese bread, which looked like a cheese pizza. We also had the Hairyman Hefe, which was flavorful and a good recommendation. The Hot Tropics was delish especially with the hint of honey. It hit the spot. Overall, good pizza and good beer! What else is needed? read more

Popped in for lunch, they had some sour ales which I love. Got the pretzels and beer cheese, too! Everything was pretty good, service wasn't bad, and the vibe is intimate but casual. read more

Well let's start for with the food...Pizza is great!! Very flavorful and not stingy on the toppings. We also ordered the wings and that was an utter disappointment. The flavoring is so bad.... Service wise, there's really no service since they don't serve u-which is great coz u don't have to tip. The ambiance is fair for a bar. Hidden in a corner. Wouldn't go back unless they revamp the wings, they should take a notes from pluckers if not Wingstop. read more

Great pizza and decent wine, which isn't always the case with a beer bar? Personable bartender and nice ambience.

Ok so here's the scenario... imagine you're in deep conversation and someone taps you on the shoulder, as soon as you turn around BAM...they hit you in the face with a baseball bat... well that's how great the food is here !! I can't believe pizza, skins and pretzels could taste this good!!! Everything was seasoned and paired with sauces that tantalize you with every bite!! The bar staff and service was Impeccable and and the fact that they were super busy. They still managed to take care of every guest fast and efficient while laughing carrying on and having a great time this type of ambience is exactly what a place like this needs to thrive and be successful. I never knew this place existed until I ventured out here. They have definitely made me a customer for life. Thank you for the great evening great food we will definitely return. read more

Vibes are good and relaxed. Staff is always kind and attentive. I honestly love their food even though it's a bit on the expensive side for bar food. I go often and will continue to visit. read more

Was craving pizza and was told about this place. It has plenty of seating indoors and out, plenty of parking and many beer choices if that's your thing. I wanted chicken and thought about buffalo but wanted something different so the margarita with chicken was good. I got the thin crust which wasn't too thin, I thought it would be cut in squares but still fine. Inside there were many Christmas parties and gatherings happening so it's great for groups. I'll be back for a big game night. read more

This place has the very best of the best pizza rolls! We bought the pepperoni ones for our daughter and we ordered olives and mushrooms in our pizza rolls. They came out piping hot, nice and brown and the cheese was oozing out with each bite. Yummo! Our daughter loved her pizza rolls and so did we. We order a couple of wheat beers that were delicious. The servers were knowledgeable about the food and drinks offered. I think this would be a great place for locals to hang out and it looked to me like several of the folks in there were indeed local. I noticed that they have a very extensive menu including pizza, wings, calzones, salads and sandwiches. They even have a Detroit style pizza. I would like to go back and try more of the food. read more

I live in Pflugerville and I support Pflugerville business, what else do you want top-tier beer and amazing appetizers? Tons of beer to choose from with salty, crispy, absorbing apps to help mellow the buzz. Look at those Incredible sides, fire. Props to the kitchen. Amazing wings, crispy skin with the moist chicken, the amazing flavors with the salt laced pretzel rolls. I'm watching my carbs but when I come to growlers, who cares? Enjoy your time and the beers. I do wish the patio side had music speakers, imagine if they did, a party outside. Only thing Id mention, the potato skins were a little raw, but I don't care especially when you had 5-6 beers in. One of the best best best cheese flat breads. I love the cheese fresh bread, buttery, crispy, snap of the flat bread, and the smells of Italian seasoning and oregano. read more

Casual and unassuming place for good craft beers, pizza, munchies and more! Not an overly large eatery, but enough seating for quaint gathering for friends or family. Helpful and fast service, pony up to the bar to place your orders ... crafts poured on the spot and server brings your food to the table when ready. A few TV's around for watching sports. Overall, solid 4.0 rating for tasty food and drinks; expect to pay ~$10pp for food, plus add'l costs for cold draft brews. Today we ordered the Carnivore Pizza and Pepperoni rolls - both served hot from their kitchen, these hit the spot and complimented the sampling variety of craft brews we tried. Pizza was thin crusted, sauce traditional red and plenty of meat! Rolls were baked soft and filled with plenty of cheese and pepperoni, perfect with marinara or ranch dip. Liked their IPA's and plenty of beer options, but unfortunately disappointed they didn't have any Pale Ale specials today. But try your faves and get a Growler to go. Will come back and try GB again. Enjoy! read more

I thought it was time to update my former reviews and add more photos. Apparently there is no happy hour here, but you get 20% off growler fills on Monday. They have a small, but decent wine selection and a great craft beer selection. There is lots of outdoor seating and seven flat screens inside to watch sports. They do offer a cauliflower crust pizza. My wife's veggie pizza was exceptionally made, but my pepperoni mushroom pizza was almost devoid of mushrooms. And yes, as I mentioned before, the tip screen will be waiting. read more

I was craving some pizza rolls and decided to try them some from here. It was my first time time here. It looks like a cool place to hang out. There's lots of outside and indoor seating for groups of all sizes. The pizza I saw coming out of the kitchen looked scrumptious. I oire ordered my pizza rolls and came here for take out. The pizza rolls were average, I had the pepperoni ones. It was a lot of cheese and about two pieces of pepperoni per roll. The pizza was good but nothing outstanding. The dough was cooked in the softer side versus crispy. I don't see myself ordering pizza rolls from here. However I would come back to try the pizza and beer. read more

We went earlier today to try their big bad Baptist releases. They have a solid tap wall with 40 beers along with some wines and kombucha too. Staff was great, beer was really good too. We had the sliders which were solid but nothing impressive. I need to try the pizza next time. I'd like to go back when its nicer out to enjoy their outside space. read more

A little hard to find but so worth it. The pizza is excellent and there is a huge choice of beers on tap.

Stepped out on a Thursday yesterday for some local eats and drinks for a date night. The place is definitely Austin vibes but in my backyard. They have so many local brewed beers on tap. I tried a few but my fave was #53, a nice lager and great taste. My wife had some non alcoholic to start and it was really tasty. We ordered the thin crust margherita pizza and were super happy with the taste. Super good food and nice place for a drink and good eats. The only downside for me was the wings are baked and not fried, the flavor is good but the texture is a big thing for me. read more

Great beer! Great pizza! Better service! Needed a bite to eat that was close...The Growler hit the spot and then some! At first, they got my order slightly wrong. They owned it and made up for it! That's what it's all about. And did I mention how good the pizza?! Some of the best wood fired I've ever had!this a place you need to visit. Laid back, chill, pizza, beer & wine...seriously, what more do you need?!! read more

Great food and lots of beers to choose from. The root beer they have on tap is amazing.

I've been twice recently for trivia on Tuesday. Same helpful, cheerful bartenders both times. Really comfortable environment, gets really packed on Tuesday before 7pm. Weekends I always end up outside. Fun place with really delicious brews and friendly people! Highly recommend this local favorite! read more
