Nicole TothMarch 23, 2014The bar is fantastic with great beers on tap&a good deck atmosphere. The foodtruck out back left a lot to be desired,barbacoa tacos-on grocerystore flour tortillas& meat tasted days old/microwaved.
Froze in the summer is a must. Only place to watch sports on Rainey. Patio has cornholl and a taco truck
Robyn CronkhiteApril 25, 2016Awesome patio at this casual spot. They have some cocktail options available- my group tried the Spicy Lemonade and liked it
Half Past NowMarch 13, 2013Great place to relax, has a backyard area to play games and has a food trailer for late night munchies! Check out halfpastnow.com for more places to hit
Abby SmithAugust 15, 2015Doorman was super helpful about giving us a few local options/places to go and the food truck in the back was good! Great place!
Jeff WeinsteinMarch 26, 2014Go on a beautiful day and sit in the back of the house. Great place to chill with friends or play some games.
Abner AcevesFebruary 15, 2015Awesome backyard space. Ask for bags at the bar and give the bartender your ID to play cornhole/bags for free outside!
Aimee WoodallMarch 12, 2013Great place to grab drinks at #sxsw. Band lineup may surprise you & the Bloody Marys are shazam.
EdmarcAugust 21, 2011Try the frozen mojitos or drink as many $2 Pearl beers as you can. Grab a large group of friends and go around back to the patio. Touch the fake grass. It's soft!
Order your drinks with LG! Can't go wrong w their or Lustre Pearls food trailer. The guy from Lustre will bring your food across the street.
Josh AJanuary 1, 2015Nothing exceptional but solid spot. Try to get the washer on the hook. Play a round of cornhole. Have a beer. Move on down the street.
Do512April 2, 2012Can't say no to games, games, and more games! Oh, and their frozen mojitos are perfect for the recent hot weather!
Daniel McDonoughMay 2, 2015Cornhole in the back. Lots of tvs. Good spot to watch sports. Pearls on tap.
Clean restrooms. Bomb taco truck. Watching football.
Toby BoydJanuary 10, 2012Check out the brisket sandwich from the trailer. It's double trouble bbq's brisket and it's pretty awesome!
Only place on Rainey that's open between 2:00 and 4:00 PM for your snow day needs.
MazdaOctober 30, 2010Quite simply, the coolest sports bar that you will ever visit. Check out the great food truck in the back!
Kyle BunchMarch 7, 2012Rainey Street's sports bar entry is not your typical, obnoxiously fratty place to watch the game with a beer.
CultureMap AustinJune 29, 2011Happy hour runs Mon - Fri from 2 - 7pm, but the weekend starts at 11 - 7pm and includes cocktails as well.
Liz KelleyJune 17, 2011Go here to play games during the day... Can't beat big jenga, dominoes, and corn hole!!
great place to chill out, play outdoor games and watch football
They have a daily print out of all the games and channels going on. Feel free to ask for it.
Kristen HulsJanuary 20, 2012More character than 6th st. Very cool cluster of renovated houses turned bars
Bijoy GoswamiSeptember 22, 2011Get some great Senegalese food from Cazamance, now parked at the back patio
Great place for watching Gator games with the cool gators.
Lee McNielJanuary 19, 2014Do not order mix drinks here. They skimp you on the liquor and the bartender gets upsets if you complain.
In Austin from out of town? Make this one of your top stops.
