    Fun stuff
    Samson S.

    One of our favorite bowling lanes in south austin. Friendly staff, always an open lane and the black light nights are a ton of fun. They have been here on WestGate for many years now. We have been going there for almost two decades. They have a coffee food trailer out front, a snow cone trailer there as well along with Slab BBQ Inside. If you have a free minute from work and want to have a good time look no other than Westgate lanes in south austin.

    We had a pretty fun time for a good price! 2 games and show rentals was less than $15 a person. The staff was a little unfriendly, but we didn't have to talk to them too much so it was okay. Tons of parking. I would recommend not using the QR codes on the seats for Slab bbq, just walk up to the window to order food/ drink. They don't use the QR system anymore in our experience. Will probably come back for fun, get out of the heat, and not spend way too much.

    This was a straightforward bowling alley. The bar was fully stoked and the bartender Cindy was nice. We played darts until the rest of our party came. There was no wait on a Friday night until about 9. You can either pay by game or by hour. The bar also recommended ordering pizza form across the street because they will deliver it to your lane. Overall we had a great experience and had fun!

    Bowling alleys are always great for people watching and bringing out of town family from the Midwest. With that being said, my family was in town and we decided to go bowling for the evening. You can either pay by the hour or pay per person. We opted per person since we had 5 bowlers and two were teens. Overall the bowling ally was your typical scene of being time warped back to the 80s-90s. The bowling ally had food and beverages but we didn't partake in either. It was about $56 bucks for two games and 5 pairs of shoe rentals. A little pricy but we had fun

    Since my last review, I have been here multiple times and I still love it…read more I came here a lot for March Madness. There are so many TVs, there isn't a bad place to sit. There are booths, tables, high top tables, a few picnic styles bench tables, and a pretty large deck. They recently added a side deck. It would be nice if it was covered and then perhaps some lattice or other barrier to keep the Texas sun off your back! I've tried several things on the menu and I've enjoyed them all. I've seen other meals delivered and they all look great too. Today I popped in for a late lunch and lucky me it was still Brunch O'clock. I wavered between the chicken and waffles and the burger. I saw the burger being delivered to a nearby table and it immediately solidified my decision- burger!! I am a burger and fries "foodie". ;) I'm very picky about my burgers and have eaten some of the best burgers in town. It was delicious! The fries aren't my favorite but decent. The burger was perfectly cooked and so was the egg (breakfast burger). I'd definitely get that again! The bartenders are friendly and they are hard workers. This definitely is a place where their systems are intact. They all work together and get orders out quickly. I'm guessing the bartenders and the waitresses all pool their tips. They all hustle. I sit mainly at the bar so I can see their work effort. I've done that job before so I know how hard it can be.

Technically, I'd give this a 4.5/5 for the elevated airport prices, but you're sort of a captive audience and I have to give credit to AUS for at least including local brands, even when they some are tweaked a little bit to be included. (I'm looking at you, 24 Diner's less-anchovy-y airport caesars.) There's not really anything to change about beer, thank goodness. This stand has Austin Beerworks' beer, which is some damn good beer. I wish ABW had a distribution deal in the northeast so I could continue drinking it at my new house. Service at the Beerdrop is usually friendly and just the right amount of attentive--friendly if you're bored, hands-off if you've got a laptop out. One bartender on a slow day even checked on my order at the other food hall counter for me, which was rad. There's a full bar with non-beer options, too, although I've only ever been there for the beer. It can get a little loud and crowded if the wider food hall's busy, but unless you're hitting at peak food o'clock, it's pretty laid-back in there.

I like sitting outside because it's usually quieter, but that's hard to do in the summer... Doc's has several specials - they do Happy Hour from 3-6 with some apps on sale (including their quesadillas) for $7.99; beers are on sale as well (not sure about mixed drinks as I typically go there for beer. They have been out of a beer more than once - would like it if they tightened up on reordering so that this doesn't happen as often. Service is usually good - attentive servers, correct tabs, etc. They also have daily specials - Fish and chips on Fridays is our favorite as it's a good portion, but I agree with another poster that the fries/chips are bland. The booths are large and comfy for the most part - easy to get 6 folks in some of them - which is nice for larger parties. Puppies are welcome on the patio and it's always nice to be greeted by friendly dogs when you're outside. Docs is a great neighborhood spot if you're in Sunset!

And with that, all substitutions are like meat and veggie or chips. It just didn't leave my friend feeling satisfied with our meal afterwards. Service however was good!

Thank you for having tents and misters! The ambience is spot-on. Overall, we were happy with everything that we ordered to eat. The buffalo cauliflower bites were a bit too saucy, but nice and smoky. The CM Chopped Salad--which was NOT chopped--had a ton of good veggies and a fun dressing. Our daughter managed to finagle two orders of chicken fingers and those were slightly better than the normal junk that comes out. Cold beers on tap, Aperol Spritzes on a hot day--what is there to complain about? We were glad to be leaving when we did because the place was starting to get slammed and rowdy and not as appealing, so be mindful of the partying witching hour. But for a late afternoon World Cup meet-up with friends, this was a good time. Four stars.
