Ridiculous number of beers on tap, wine, amazing sausages and the staff is incredible and super knowledgeable!

- Brian HerschaftAugust 22, 2014Duck, bacon and fig sausage, deep fried chicken sausage, and a killer peach cobbler in a mason jar for dessert!
CalyxAnnJune 21, 2013Fantastic beer selection, veggie sausages (3 different kinds) made in house. They pickle their own pickles and make their own sauerkraut, too!
Jeff WeinsteinMarch 26, 2014Get there early on the weekends for lunch. They're a little weird about seating full parties but it gets busy. Get the Zoe beer and a sausage.
A Taste of KokoMay 7, 2014The Sunday Brunch is the ultimate meat fest. Bring your four legged friend and order the manmosa! Read more
Scott WissonJanuary 20, 2013Moo. Great place, knowledgeable waiters. Get the Kolache bun. Always get the Kolache bun.
Bryan LeniskiFebruary 28So many beers on draft, lots of local options! Bartenders knew them as well, good beer knowledge.
Allan BeaufourApril 22, 2018100% worth braving the college crowds. 100+ beers on tap and tons of homemade sausages
WD SprinkleOctober 3, 2013Grab your Tuba & order a brat !! or vice versa !!! great Oktoberfest experience this time of year !!!
Susan ZochApril 1, 2017The beer selection is great! The food was good and the atmosphere was fun. Biggest issue is parking.
CristinaJanuary 25, 2014There's a large outdoor area with long communal tables great for a lazy Sunday with friends
Rebecca 😉😘 EscobedoMarch 21, 2015The jalapeño Mac and cheese is to die for and the hit dog with everything is the best love this place 🍻
Ben BuotteSeptember 2, 2013Dogfish Etrusca, tap #9, delicious and complex. A 2800 year old recipe! Try it before any spice to taste the full range of flavors.
Gabe HernandezJuly 5, 2013A shell of itself. There used to be the best lunch special in town. When I asked the waiter about it, he said 4 other tables asked the same thing. Well, that's a sign you lost 4 unique loyal groups.
Sue YangAugust 7, 2014If you're down for something different, get the South Texas Antelope & Venison Merguez. House original and amazing!
This place has one of the best beer selections in Austin. Over 100 taps!
ShadiDecember 13, 2015October fest with an Austin twist. They have the craziest saussages and huge (local) beer list.
Kev SkinnyFebruary 20, 2015Spin the lotto balls. Drink whichever number you draw. Pretty much can't go wrong. Beer down here is exceptional.
Kevin ThatcherJune 24, 2016Tried the chicken sausage on the recommendation of he waitress; should of went with my instincts. The sausage was very bland, the rest of the dish was outstanding.
Stefan BrahamMay 23, 2015Awesome food and massive beer selection. A great stop on any Rainey St. crawl.
Steve JonesApril 13, 2013This place has a triple identity. British pub, German biergarden and/or American gastropub. Great beer selection. 100+ taps.
Bill SpearmanAugust 11, 2017The brats and fresh cut fries are great! The service is prompt and the servers are attentive.
Their butterface desserts may be seasonal but every one of them is amazing! Get it! Try it! Savor it! Lovvvveee it!
Timothy KimOctober 10, 2015Get there early or expect long waits to be seated, especially on weekends. Over 100 great beers on tap
Fantastic food, beer, and service! Be careful though, cell service is a little spotty (AT&T) and can result in a quick battery drain.
Dan O'LearyAugust 12, 2018Long tables for family-style social community seating. Outstanding beer selection!
Vegans beware! The "vegan" caramel sauce is NOT vegan as it had butter in it!
ChrisMarch 20, 2015BYFO Andoiulle sausage was full of flavour and spice. Make sure you have plenty of water/beer to take with it.
$8 lunch specials that include any Texas pint of beer, any "Traditional" sausage dog, one side, and you choose two toppings and two sauces.- Christina LMarch 31, 2013Live music is great. Staff is super attentive. Duck and fig sausage is great but watch out for bits of bone.
Roger WillisNovember 21, 2014Awesome beer selection, I was too late for the food. Great atmosphere, very beer garden.
Rebecca KuoFebruary 28, 2013Holy shit the potato salad is good. To feel "healthy", get the braised greens and eat it with the potato salad. Mmmm
JoycottApril 16, 2014Get some sausage and tasty beer on Earth Day and 5% of your total purchase goes to help eco-friendly causes.
Karin GattringerOctober 17, 2016Huge list of beers - the bartender will gladly help you discover your new favorite.
Molly FratianneNovember 8, 2013Duck bacon and fig is the way to go! The atmosphere is phenomenal here!
Chris HoughtonAugust 11, 2013Great beer selection, the sausages are creative, but I would trade a drunk relative for the green beans.
Melissa HSeptember 29, 2013Boar sausage! Over 100 craft beers on tap. Jalapeño Mac n cheese. You won't be disappointed.
Jalak JobanputraMarch 7, 2014Great veggie beet/goat cheese option. The spicy sauerkraut is fantastic...and spicy.
