“So we were eating next door and wanted to try this place out. It’s a great bar. Has a big walk-in humidor with millions of cigars to choose from. The bar is well stocked. Lots of seating and an outdoor seating patio too. Friendly happy bar staff. Had a few cocktails and cigars. Good music. Nice smells what a fun bar. #Lakeway“

“Always good food and drinks“

“This is such a unique lakeside establishment. It's one of my favorite destinations in Austin. The food is pretty good but some dishes leave room for improvement. The flavor is there but lacks in presentation and limited ingredients. The atmosphere and service are top notch. This is definitely a whole in the wall neighborhood Vibing place but the patrons are exteremly welcoming, making you feel like you are a regular. Great family and pet friendly place to watch the sunset over the lake or throw a company party.Kid-friendliness: Kids seem to always be welcome and loved by all. Lots of room for them to explore.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and ramps indoors. Patio access is limited“

“This is a great distillery if you love liquers especifically coffee, if you love gin (they make their own hibiscus soda) , and if you know anything about amaros. The owner was very knowledgeable and they offered free tastings. The only downside is you can't get them everywhere!!! The chocolate espresso martini was phenomena and cost $5!!! Go support them and take a bottle home!!“

“Nice spot to pop in while I was in town on Business. Friendly and refreshing atmosphere. I’ll be back to visit if I ever get back to Austin.“

“COLDEST BEER I THINK I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! Seriously, a great little place where you can sit outside under the shade and enjoy the COLD ?!!!! Or step inside to a warm and rustic atmosphere! A band was setting up, but we had to get home...next time!!!“

“This is definitely a place to go!! We had left the exotic animal park and needed a bite, so we just googled, and this came up. We got there about 1pm. When we pulled up we weren't sure if it was open. But we peeked in and there were a couple people in there and it's a bar, but read the history on it. We went in and ordered our meals and they were terrific. One of our group had dietary restrictions and they were great with it. This will now be my go-to place whenever I am in the area.“

“Yesterday, Sat. May 20,2023 we celebrated my wife Nicki turning 70. The level of customer service was outstanding. We had 70 people on the patio. The buffet style food set up, drink station, desert table was fantastic and efficient. All the food was excellent. They had a microphone available for us to use when talking to the whole group. Many favorable comments from our guests. Special shout out to Shelby, the cake lady!! The cake and cupcakes were super and were set up in attractive display. Britany was our head server. She and her staff worked hard and efficiently, catering to our guests requests/needs. I would highly recommend the Lighthouse to anyone for occasions like this. During the planning for the party I had many questions/requests. They were all met with "sure you can do that" or "we can do that". Robin and Samantha made their experience and expertise readily available to me at all times. It was a great help and much appreciated. The "happy birthday Nicki" display atop the lighthouse visible from the parking lot was a really cool. Robin and Samantha and their entire staff made this the special occasion that I wanted it to be. I am glad I chose the Lighthouse for this special occasion.“

“Twin Creeks is an old-school roadside dive bar just off FM 2469 in North Austin. Opening hours are around 3pm to midnight each night. They have an indoor bar and outdoor seating next to a small creek with clear water and small fish. There is an indoor and outdoor stage and pool table as well. Bartender was very friendly when we popped in for a round of beers. Interesting mix of patrons came in during the afternoon hour we were there, most wanting to enjoy the great mid spring time weather outside. Just seemed like a really good, local watering hole in North Austin, a place I'd be glad to visit regularly if we lived in the area.“

“Took my friend here for bday dinner, and it was phenomenal! The owner, J5, brought us our drinks and took the time to speak with us and get to know us and share his family with us.Their grapefruit mocktail was DELICIOUS!! We ordered the firecracker shrimp appetizer, and it was more than enough to share for 2 people. There were at least 14 pieces of shrimp, maybe more. The flavor was excellent, just a little kick of heat but not enough to set your mouth on fire. Then we both ordered the potato soup. All I can say is ???. Perfectly creamy, salty, cheesy! I ordered the salmon and asparagus with the lump crab topper, and it was perfectly cooked. Not too buttery, just enough. The asparagus was fire!! My friend ordered cheeseburger and fries and was equally pleased.We loved the indoor/outdoor dining experience. We sat at an indoor table but got the benefit of the outdoor ambiance.We left the restaurant talking about how we couldn't wait to go back! It was worth the drive (I came from Lago Vista, and my friend lives in Lakeway). 10/10 recommend.“

“One of the coolest places ever. It's a hometown golf course clubhouse where the folks take pride in simply living life! The motto ..."a drinking community with a golfing problem!" Come let your hair down and check out the activities: Dart and Cornhole Tournament Mondays, Tuesday is Card Night, Wednesday night is Trivia and Karaoke, Thursday is Bingo, Friday and Saturday Live Entertainment, Sunday shoot some pool and watch the games! ... Also, everyday of the week, step right out back and hit some golf balls. ???“

“My wife and I love Blind Salamander. We've been many times, and look forward to going back again soon. Our last visit was a little tough (for everyone) because a family brought small children in who were going out of their minds. This isn't the fault of Blind Salamander... they handled it as best they could.“

“Great place to meet up with family and friends!“

“An exceptional variety of very fresh options…from edamame to sashimi to nigiri to roe….ALL was DELICIOUS….! Great bartender, too! I may go back tomorrow!!! I’m craving more!!!“

“This place came under new ownership by chef – owner, Antonio, a couple months ago. On my recent visit, I encountered two brand new sauces served with chips. Right off the bat, these appeared incredibly fresh just by looking at them. This place is worth visiting for the salsas alone, but they also have tasty food and delicious hand-shaken margaritas.“

“Danny R was our waiter. Very attentive and nice. Food was great. Enchiladas Tulum and Al Carbon with steak was perfect with charro beans and rice. Ambiance is laid back and relaxed. I would highly recommend this place. Shrimp ceviche was also excellent!“

“Greatest place with the kindness people! I'm from Michigan, not familiar with this area. And Heyden made sure we were taken care of and suggested some sightseeing places as well. Even the patrons of the bar were beyond friendly and welcoming. So glad we found this place!“

“Very cool spot to hang out and have some drinks. Lots of games including pool, ping pong, Jenga, foosball and probably others.There's a bar but also tables to kinda hang out in, and a juke box that you can choose all kinds of music from. I was really happy with the tunes they picked out - an eclectic mix that was nice for all people in our party (all ages).They also had a nice selection of taps of beer and normal well drinks from the bar. I was from out of town and just looking for a cool place to hang and have a few drinks. This place executed that perfectly. Would definitely recommend. :)“

“great authentic Mexican food. I'm never disappointed and cant wait for the crowds to return! This is a great Southwest Austin spot!“

“If you’re craving Italian food, there’s no other place quite like Nik’s. The food is delicious and doesn’t leave you feeling lethargic or in a food coma. The portion sizes are more than enough for one person and the dishes are reasonably priced.The service is fantastic and Camren, forgive my spelling if it’s incorrect, always treats each table with diligence and compassion. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming.I highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan with the Jalapeño Lime sauce as the entree. The Longhorn Ravioli is also a great appetizer. To finish it off, you MUST get the Bananas Foster otherwise you’re missing out!“

“Went for lunch first time being there had to use the bathroom the restroom was nasty look like a gas station rest stop no paper towels the food was so bad I order a veggie burrito it had super hot peppers that was not on there menu the server never told me the sauce on the burrito was not good taste like a pasta sauce from a can so I took it back and ask for a simple bean burrito they came back with 2 flat rolled up taco threw some can sauce that taste like chili and it was terrible the owner was very nice server was very nice but the food I would never recommend anyone to eat here or use the restroom there had I know the restroom was dirty I would not had sat down or ordered any food here it is not authentic mexican food I am not sure what kind of mexican food is being served it is so disappointing“

“Good food, good bartenders, good staff. Definitely worth a drink or two!“
