Second Bar + Kitchen

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was terrific, the atmosphere was fabulous, the service was attentive. They have an excellent menu with a great selection. I had the arugula and beet salad ( I added salmon) hubby had steak, friends had the trout, and cheese board. The cheeseboard was excellent with 4 different cheeses, olives, fig preserves and toasted bread. Everybody enjoyed their dinner. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather, and people watching. They have a small but mighty selection on their happy hour, which is 3pm- close everyday. I ordered the Cabernet, which turned out to be quite good for $5. Hubby had brown derby for $6 and Friends got Moscow mule for $5. Eric, our waiter was very helpful and attentive. We will be back.

My wife and I had their food on our wedding night at the Archer and this was their in house food. We decided to go to their Austonian location for our two year anniversary. The food and service was outstanding. From their deep fried buffalo pickles, to the burger and pizzas, to the delicious desserts. What a great place for a date.

While on my little weekend getaway, I searched for a quality restaurant offering really good seafood. We found this place in downtown Austin which was located adjacent to a hotel. They offered convenient valet parking which is always nice. I absolutely loved the ambiance and our waitress was such the cutie. She was professional and had the perfect attitude for the job and a generous tip 😊. I ordered the Seared Faro Island Salmon and my date ordered the Steak Fritas. On my word!!! The food was sooooooo good! My fish was perfectly cooked (medium well) and my sides is still causing me to salivate. My date really enjoyed his steak which was tender and tasty. His only complaint was that the salad he ordered did not come out with his meal. Our waitress was wonderful and made sure to let the kitchen staff know that the salad was “missing”. The guy that brought the salad out didn’t seem too happy about his apparent...mistake. Otherwise, everything was superb and if I’m ever in Austin again, I will definitely visit this place.

I went there for my Birthday dinner and it was great the food was super fancy like I could barely understand half the things on the menu but like it was all delicious and didn’t completely broke gang me. The servers were really awesome and did a good job translating the menu. The atmosphere is really modern and clean great for pictures. The food was delicious everyone enjoyed it and they even had some pretty bomb vegan options so that was great.!i would definitely come here again but keep in mind it’s also a bar my friends and I had some trouble with someone who had obviously overindulged but the manager took care of it! Other than that absolutely amazing.

We checked Second Bar+Kitchen for a late brunch on Saturday. Three of us decided to split the avocado fundido and a white pizza. We all ordered a cocktail each. The food was wonderful! The fundido was a take on salsa using avocado and chorizo and even though I am not a fan of avocados, it was delicious and full of flavour. The pizza was delicious. Even without any meats, the simplicity of the cheese and aragula on the white sauce accmopanied by the dressing made it delightful and light, perfect for the Texas heat. The cocktails were underwhelming. The gin+jam was very gin-heavy which is good for fans but overpowering for others. The Green River (I believe it was called) had an odd taste and I wasnt a fan. The hibiscus one was good but overly sweet. Overall, Second is a great place for brunch and their food is delicious,however I would refrain from ordering their cocktails.
