Best pub food in town and great beer selection. Gets really loud in the evening so not the best place for a conversation. More beer, less talky.- Top Burger Orders: Guacamole Queso Burger with jalepenos and bacon. OR Mushroom Swiss Burgger w/bacon. OR BBQ Bacon Burger with a side of Onion Rings And Chili to put in the burger. No regrets!

akahi otterApril 19, 2014Very nice pub in the wall, Philly cheese steak is awesome, the beers are 23oz. Very nice place to enjoy a beer
andrea maukMay 23, 2015Get the ribs or a burger! You can't go wrong! But WHYYYY did they get rid of the queso sticks???
Melissa VanceDecember 9, 2013Queso guac burger is amazing and so is the works burger. Try the beer blends too
Dianey SandovalApril 4, 2016Make sure you get your around the world card... Try all 60 beers on tap...
Lauren GSeptember 29, 2013Totally nostalgic for TX State Alumni..along with the 90's awesomeness soundtrack. Best beer selection in town.
Join the around the world club. Its a great way to experience many different beers
John BurneyMarch 18, 2010Go to the Tap Room and order a Burger and a beer and make sure you get a Tap Room card so you can keep track of all the different beers you have tried
Melanie SchubertNovember 5, 2013Was disappointed when I ordered the queso & it was nacho cheese. Also tried the turkey melt & wasn't too impressed with that either. The fries were good, but you can't really go wrong with fries.
Kristi SmithJune 25, 2010Best place in Austin to enjoy a beer and great food. Service could be better and a little smoky, other than that it's awesome!
SunnyAce & Mushroom Swiss Burgers with onion rings with queso ...the best meal in town!!!
On Sunday you can get a burger half off if you buy a burger and fries.
FeliciaSeptember 2, 2010Queso Burger - 'nuff said! Go on a Sunday and if you buy 1 queso burger, you get the 2nd one half off. Good deal!
One of the best bloody marys in town if not the best!
- Dave WaughSeptember 7, 2010Best pub in San Marcos! Excellent grub, great beer selection, no smoking until 2pm.
Best burger in San Marcos!! I think it's the sweet bun that makes them so good :))
Come when Chad is working he plays the besttttt music!!!
Go see Brazos on Monday for lunch always a good time
Order the GQ burger and ask for extra queso for the fries. Heavenly.
Justin ScaliseJuly 6, 2011Wouldn't admit me with a sleeveless shirt. Lame. When I went in later to join my friends, 3 of their draft beers I requested were tapped out. The burgers are pretty good.. But still thumbs down..
JohnJanuary 15, 2010Go to the Tap Room and enjoy one of the great microbrews on tap. Skip the "domestics."
Get a Mardesous and BBQ Cheeseburger with classic fries - f'ckin classic man.
