Dive bar. Austin.Friendly. Surrounded by gentrification but maintains original character- thanks to a 100 year old live oak that couldn't be cut down. Smokin' beer list- Tank 7 try. Stubbs barbecue in the back nice little addition to the beer. Go. Amen.

good tasting bbq, just small meat serving size. The brisquit had lots of fat on it. The homemade bbq sauce was great! Coleslaw and beans were delish!

This is a really cool spot. The service was fantastic, all of the bartenders are super friendly and have conversation with the patrons. They are dog friendly which is also a huge plus! It is open/outdoors, so it can get pretty cool but they have heat lamps on the patio. I would recommend and I look forward to returning when the weather is a little nicer. Great spot to spend time with great friends!
