Red’s Porch

No Longer In Business

Stopped in for Happy hour. They have 30 taps but not very diverse as 18-20 of them are IPAs or APAs. The chips and queso were good but the salsa was watery and gross. Had some live Oak beers which were good. Pretty cool place for happy hour.

Game themed facility - old family game boards become art work visually supporting three dart boards and a shuffle board. ~ 30 taps, nice menu, very knowledgable and friendly bar staff, and indoor and out door seating. Enjoyable, friendly atmosphere.

Reds Porch is a really big place, and was crowded when I went there. I enjoyed the selection of beer.

Nice addition. Friend took me in on a Sunday and they had 512 Cask of Porter and another cask of Ranger Creek+ a pretty decent tap list of local and other craft beers. Great upstairs porch with a view of Hill Country and sand pit for bean bags and mebbe other games (bean bags because drunks will hurt themselves with horseshoes?) Any way, the Ranger Creek was a buy the beer, get the glass, so I got a good beer and a glass and great weather on the desk. Cool. If you want a look of old tIME Austin funk by the way of a honkytonk joint with one of the lowest ceilings EVER, go across Lamar and check out The Broken Spoke. (no good beer, but)

Surprisingly great view of the skyline. Equally surprisingly good selection of beer (tap and bottle...low-end to high-end). Get there early for an upstairs spot.
