Austin Ale House

No Longer In Business

Visited later evening on a Monday. Located on the corner of 6th and Lavaca a few blocks away from the full on craziness of 6th Street. Interior is new and nice, larger copper top bar with 16 or seats, plenty of tables and a small outdoor patio. 45 beers on tap, with a large focus on Texas. The Austin beers (20) were highlighted on the menu, which was appreciated. Friendly happy service, and decent prices. They also had a back room with more seating, which was being used for an event. Good stop, particularly for a variety of Austin beers..

76 = ★★★ (Worth the visit, must for locals, and visitors with time)

I only use the total score, not the component parts.

I visited this place for happy hour yesterday. It’s spacious, and has plenty of bars and seats. It just seems to lack character and soul, and seems rather sterile. They had about 40 taps here. Good variety and good selection. The bartender was very helpful and quite good. The food and menu seemed a bit run of the mill, but I can’t make a huge sweeping generalization. Regardless, this is decent, but nothing mind blowing.
