    Cain and Abel Loved the wood in the open bar area. We had the nachos very good. Then we Shared the chicken fried steak sandwich. Too chewy but the fries were food. Great beer and fresh margaritas

    Great place to grab casual drinks. The service quality depends on who's working, but everyone is friendly and easy to talk to. Just a warning, dollar beer nights can get messy so be prepared.

    If you're driving on a Tuesday or Thursday night, consider walking from a block-or-two away as the lot behind the bar can fill up fast on Tuesday's "dollar beer night" and "Thirsty Thursdays".

    Was here on a Monday afternoon so fairly quiet. Good place still for a drink (63 beers on tap) and some food.

    Popular for so many other things, but I especially love their early-morning breakfast tacos. The chorizo , egg and cheese one made my day.

    It's a campus bar. Definitely a campus bar. Good number of taps. Cheap top shelves on Sunday nights but don't expect a cocktail or "bartenders."

    A total UT undergrad mess in the best possible way. Long island ice tea will knock you out for a few hours.

    They advertise 63 beers on tap but they don't seem to know anything about beer....not to mention they didn't have the first two I ordered. We'll see if the burger is any good for 6.95 (on special)

    WARNING: Watch out for the 95-pound-abels-man. He will steal your baked chips and spicy ranch. What might result in a ruined night just incites more elicit Texas Tea drinking

    Great place to be for dollar beer night as long as you don't mind an almost completely college aged crowd.

    Must come on Tuesdays. It doesn't matter how thirsty you are, domestics are only a dollar.

    Campus rating bump in effect here. If you want cheap drinks, outdoor seating, and the undergrad scene, this place is for you. If you care about quality of food, preparation, and service, AVOID.

    Slow service, mediocre food. Outdoor seating is nice, but not enough to make up for taking 30 minutes before your first drink arrives.

    Dollar beer night is nice, staff is fast and patient, but the fratty crowd that plauges this place is downright rude, pushy and horrible to be around.
