I wanted to like this place, but it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The TVs are pretty subpar, yet it feels like plenty of money has been spent on everything except improving the customer experience. The bartenders weren't very friendly or welcoming, which didn't help the atmosphere. The place was uncomfortably hot. They keep the garage doors open, but it doesn't seem like the air conditioning is doing much, if anything. On top of that, the crowd was pretty trashy and not the type of environment I'd want to spend an evening in. The bathrooms were another major issue. They looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time and smelled strongly of urine. My wife said the women's restroom was especially disgusting and in need of serious attention. There's also no food served, which makes it hard to justify staying for any length of time. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Came to Wakesurf Saloon and honestly? This place gets it. Such a fun, high-energy spot whether you're coming to watch a game, hang with friends, play games, or fully commit to karaoke main-character energy The vibe is laid-back but lively--perfect for group hangs or spontaneous nights out. There's always something going on, so you're never bored. Now let's talk drinks because WOW. The drinks are delicious, and my absolute favorite was the Cherry Limeade--so refreshing, perfectly balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. read more

Super friendly staff, great music playing and tons of things to do from outdoor seating to indoor games like basketball! You can order from a menu/QR code from Wahoo's next door and they bring it over! read more

Wakesurf Saloon - Beer - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had a cocktail with a friend. Sat at the bar. It was so hot even with the fans on. I was sticking to the chair. Everything was opened up to the heat outside. So it's just circulating hot air. Unfortunately we didn't stay too long. Really looking for places to escape the heat. Cocktail was good. Sweet, but not too sweet. I had the cherry limeade. And my friend had the espresso martini. The bartender said they changed the recipe a little. It was pretty good, as my friend let me sip a little. Couldn't sit outside to listen to the band. Bummer. Too hot. We did get food at Wahoo's. And I'll write a review for them. read more

I do a lot of work out by the lake and always consider stopping for a drink on the way back but usually just head back to town. I'm so glad I stopped by here today! This will definitely be a stop I look forward to when I'm in the area. read more

As a native Californian and new Texan, Wahoo's and Wakesurf Saloon were a pleasant reminder of home. The fish tacos were fried perfectly crispy and not greasy. Sauces are great. Varied menu, good prices, great atmosphere. Very friendly service, outdoor seating, and live music. Wonderful way to spend a Friday night. read more

Wakesurf Saloon - Outdoor seating - Sports Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Honestly, this is a mid bar. The ambiance with the customer base wreaks of desperation, but it's offset by the great customer service by the bartenders. Food prices are high for the quality (very much a frozen dinner vibe) and the prices are almost ridiculously high at (the cheapest shot) $9 for fireball and $8 for a canned lonestar. Not a place I would frequent regularly, but a decently fun place to hit up on the occasion with you swinger friends read more

The service was fantastic. I had the Bro Rogan burger which was two meat patties with chop brisket in the middle, it was huge and they gave me plastic gloves to eat it since it was so messy. My wife ordered the food from Wahoo's and was able to bring the food over to eat it. The location is awesome but the parking is something that is limited. read more

This place is trash when it comes to integrity and charging people for what they ordered. Aside from our server Emily who has been so amazing and straightforward , everyone else has been trying to scam us. One night it was the 3 of us we came after 10pm and had a few Mexican martinis. They charged us 300 dollars for 3 people ordering Mexican martinis for an hour and half. How is that even possible? But we paid whatever. Tonight they tried to put two orders of red bull vodkas that we never ordered on our tab while at the same time our card was lost. We had to have a third witness confirm we never ordered those drinks and even then our card was gone so we had to cancel our card. We are seasoned bar attendees who go to rock bar , shooters, LT pub and other neighrbhood bars and never have issues yet this place keeps trying to make idiots of us nearly every time we come. It's not even worth it . When we try to resolve the issue the manager and bartenders are so condescending and rude about it. Lame af read more

Nice atmosphere. Pizza was a little thick, but still delicious. I like a lot of cheese!!! Wings - plump and tasty!! We had the buffalo. Hot and GOOD!! Bottle beer could be a little bit colder. Had to keep going to the bar for service. No servers. I think this place is a very welcomed addition to the area that is in desperate need of some type of sports bar like atmosphere. Just a few slight changes to service, but still a great atmosphere and great staff! Good luck! Will definitely be back for weekday Happy Hour! read more

This must be under new ownership, diferent name when we were there. Pics on Yelp for outside area also aren't accurate. Stumbled into this place on an NFL Sunday in 2025 when adjacent place I intended to go to sucked. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Had a big screen outside with an NFL game on and every game was visible somewhere inside. Lots of NFL fans. Beer selection is soft, liqour options were good. Food is via a secondary business, which was good. read more

After eating the most delicious fish tacos I recommend going to Wakesurf Saloon! It's the perfect place to watch your sports teams, fights or anything on the many TVs. There is golden tea, shuffleboard, games, and a really cool indoor/outdoor bar! read more

Wakesurf Saloon never disappoints! Susan makes you feel like family the moment you walk in -- attentive, welcoming, and always on point with recommendations. And the wings? Hands down some of the best I've ever had. Crispy, sauced just right, and absolutely packed with flavor. Between Susan's hospitality and those wings, this place has easily become my go-to spot! Thank you Susan and Wakesurf Saloon! read more

True Californian here, was hoping for a taste of really good fish tacos but my friend gave me this review from later on last night. My description is perfect a microwave fish stick with some coleslaw through on top of it that's it.I'd rather make them myself to where they have some flavor those were pretty bland there was no spice to them whatsoever read more

Cool bar but smells like sewage. The prices were reasonable and staff was friendly but as soon as you walked in it smelled terrible. They also stopped selling food a little early but it was okay read more
