Located in the quaint small town of smithville. I had a great time. And let me say it again, it's smoky and I don't smoke. Reminded me how all bars used to prior to the no smoking laws. It would be nice to have some ventilation of air for the non smokers, but it was still a fun time at a local hole in the wall bar. You should go and see for yourself. Parking was not a problem.

Plenty of indoor and outdoor space (outdoor is dog friendly!) and two food options: Yellow Bell Texas Tacos (tasty!!) and Deft Pies with Chicago-style tavern pizzas. Haven't tried the pizza yet but it looks incredible. Great vibe, solid drinks, good food options- so glad Pflugerville has a spot like this!

The Buzz is the Craft Beer Bar in the Whole Foods in Bee Cave…read more Don't knock going to Whole Foods to drink. The comparable establishment at Whole Foods Domain - the Draft Shack - is one of the two best beer bars in Austin. (The other one is the Beer Plant) And, no, I do not want to hear all the anguished cries of pain from fans of Bangers, the Draught House, Pinthouse etc. etc. etc. In terms of quality of selection, the Draft Shack and the Beer Plant are it. And just in case, I checked this out with God, the last time he was Yelping in Austin. (He was having Korean Fried Chicken at Seoulju, where He was impressed.) He agrees with me on the beer places. * * * The Buzz is not as impressive as the Draft Shack. There are forty percent fewer beers. There are a lot more you-can-get-them-lotsa-places items (Celis, Left Hand Milk Stout). The rare items are not necessarily well chosen. I had a Rocket Fuel - a Vietnamese coffee porter. This is, for all intents and purposes, chocolate milk passing itself off as beer. * * * However, the headline story of Buzz is the scenery and the location. This is more of a place to hang out rather than a place to get fussy over your beer. The room itself is no great shakes, but there are three balconies and these make all the difference. You can overlook the store. You can sit outdoors on the service side and look at the doctor's office across the street. Or you can go whole-hog I-love-the-Hill-Country-Galleria, and sit on the main balcony and look out at one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the Galleria. In the Draft Shack in the Domain, you can kind of forget where you are and lose yourself in the room. It is a small internal place where all the views look inward. The Buzz wants you to sit on a balcony and see the world. So a lot depends on whether you love or hate the Galleria. The couple behind me were all-out Galleria lovers. They had been there much of the afternoon. It was quite clear that this was a destination good time for them. They had picked two chairs with good views and were wholly immersed in the passing scene. I would guess they were regulars. I am fascinated, intrigued and repulsed by the Galleria all at once. It is a fake artificially-planned city - in the tradition of the Domain Austin or the District at Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas. For a shopping mall/city it is surprisingly well done. They put City Hall and the Public Library right in the middle of the mall. City Hall is an impressive structure. Bee Cave Police Headquarters is also right in the mall. So they do what they can to make this a real town. Citizens can go to the Galleria to attend City Council meetings and give speeches at the mike about the motion under consideration. There are public squares. There are large single family homes, of urban design but pretty nice looking. There are sitting places on the corners for people. People can and do sit on the corner benches and talk to their friends. The Galleria feels both planned and synthetic. However, it is the bona fide center of the City of Bee Cave. Life revolves around it. The store and restaurant line-up is pretty decent. There are places I would want to eat, places I would want to hang out, places I would want to drink coffee and places I would want to shop. (I actually did shop while I was there. I loved H & M.) Real offices overlook much of the scenery. The sign on the wall at Buzz promises that the balcony offers views of real Hill Country sunsets. That is kind of hard since neither balcony faces west. Just between the wall of Whole Foods, and the wall across the street of the European Wax Center, you get a ten degree snippet where you can make out a sliver of western sunset sky. I suspect most of the customers get better Hill Country views from the windows of their own homes. * * * That said, the comings and goings of the street below are not uninteresting. The Austin hippie/techie count is low but not zero. The rich teenager count is high. Half are accompanied by Mom or Dad. The unchaperoned kids do shenanigans. The shoppers have their dramas, just as shoppers always have their dramas. The late afternoon light makes everything warm and inviting. It makes you almost want to take a job at one of the offices where the sun is pouring in. * * * So passing an afternoon at the Buzz is not the worst torture that life can mete out to you. But I would still rather drink at Whole Foods Domain. The scenery here is nice. But Austin is not short of bars with great crowds and great scenery.

Growlers are sold as well, so you can take the party home with you. They don't serve food, but you can pick some up in the market downstairs and enjoy it in here. There are three different balconies outside that offer great views of the domain area. Great people watching opportunities since you are upstairs. One of the balconies has a view of the lake, which is my favorite. The drafts are reasonably priced, with most being $5 for a pint. This was a nice discovery inside the market.

We're visiting Texas from California to see family, and this was our first experience dining out here. I honestly cannot say enough good things.

Yes, the food took slightly longer than what I'm used to--but even that wait was not long at all, and it was 100% worth it for the absolutely fantastic food we were served. If anything, I imagine those complaints may have come from much busier times. Overall, this experience exceeded expectations. Between the incredible food and top-tier service, it made our first dining experience in Texas an amazing one. We will absolutely be back when we're visiting family again!

You order right at the bar (which is kinda fun because you get to peek at all the drink options). Inside is a little tight, not gonna lie but they've got a solid outdoor setup with plenty of seating. Looks like they even have fire pits, which I'm sure hits different when you've got time to hang and sip a few. Even though it was busy, service moved pretty quick and everyone was still friendly, which I always appreciate. And the food? So good. The tuna nachos came out looking all colorful and pretty, but the flavor combo is what really stole the show. Definitely a spot I'd swing back to next time I'm in Round Top.

It was hot out and stores were staring to close, so we came here for some drinks and food to escape the heat. Of the several times that we've been to Round Top, we had never been to Round Top Brewing and were pleasantly surprised...by everything. The spot is cute and cozy--nothing fancy and plenty of charm that isn't too forced. We ordered food and drinks at the bar and then sat in their indoor patio area (no A/C but tolerable circulation with the fans). They make their own beer, and we both enjoyed the kolsch that we stuck with for the evening. As far as food, we shared a giant pretzel and our daughter got a plain pizza. The pizza is that cardboardesque version, but it was edible. The pretzel was decent, but definitely a frozen-to-oven situation. What we *do* want to shout out is the mustard it came with. It was SO good. We asked if it was homemade, and it allegedly was: so spicy and nasal-clearing and tasty. The mustard alone is what is pushing up from 3 stars to four! Bottom line: nothing crazy special, but a good place with friendly folks working and decent food and drink. Prices are consistent with the area, and it's certainly better than Mandito's and it beats the chaos of Royer's. We won't be back, but we're glad we tried it.
