    One of my favorite hideaways in Austin. It's a nice break from the chaos of other venues. Cozy, comforting atmosphere with a tremendous selection of beers on tap. Nice outdoor beer garden space, too!

    This place is great if you're a beer lover or like the more relaxed bar scene. They have almost a 100 beers on tap so you are sure to find one you like. They also have decent food items as well.

    Hugest draft selection! The beer garden has a great view of W Hotel's pool deck ~jealous!~ Hit this venue up during SXSW for great beer and an awesome music lineup. Deets on do512.com!

    With well over 100 beers on tap, Ginger Man can be overwhelming. Ask the knowledgable staff or when in doubt, pick an Austin brew.

    Big fresh warm pretzels and mixed nuts (almonds, Brazilian nuts, cashews, walnuts) pair perfectly with their huge selection of specialty and craft beers.

    If you like great beer and an environment void of music, white noise or distraction, this silent refuge in the heart of Austin is for you!

    Not what it used to be but still a solid choice to chill out and have a beer from the vast selection. A rare place where you can carry on a conversation.

    Insane beer selection. Small menu but the soft pretzel and French Dip were incredible. Lot of blind dates and there no music? Strange.

    A dizzying array of taps. A more quiet and conversational scene than the usual raucous Austin downtown suspects.

    Draught beer mecca in Austin, with 83 taps, and dozens of great bottles. Beer garden out back, tasty snacks, now if they would only add new brews as often as they used to...

    An amazing place to sample beers from around the world on tap. A pretzel, a nice day on the patio -- your afternoon, done.

    I'd never been here before last night and I don't get why not. Great vibe and vast assortment of beer on tap. Fantastic place! Probably going to go there every night I'm in town now.

    Ready for an epic selection of craft beers and blends? Try the preacher’s collar, the snake bite, a black & tan or a half & half. Enjoy it on the patio.

    Check the rotating taps. Always a lot of good choices and you rarely have to drink non-Texas beer.

    81 beers on tap. If you're from out of town - try something local. Ask for a St. Arnolds - I personally prefer their Lawnmower variety.

    If you're a fan of dark beers, but want to try something a tad lighter go for the Thirsty Goat Amber.

    Between 3 and 6pm Monday thru Friday is happy hour. Dollar off most pints. Don't come before three or you'll get punished by paying way more.

    One of the best places to beat the heat if you're downtown on a weekday afternoon!
