I really love coming to this bar with friends as it is a UT/ West Campus staple. The drinks are good, fairly priced, and the atmosphere is always fun!! Recently the service has not been great and one of the bartenders, Callie, was pretty rude to me for no reason. She was too busy on her phone to take my order and dismissed me when I tried asking to order something? Idk I’ve never been treated like this here before so it was odd. Overall great bar but the new service has been questionable.

Awesome atmosphere. Molly and Spencer were great bartenders.

Great bar. The inside space is smaller than it was at the previous location. Close to campus, nice vibes. I like the $8 Texas teas on Tues and Thurs. Quesadillas and chicken tenders are good! Gets super busy with lots of students.

Great selection of beers with good prices. If you want to drink next to UT, that’s a good spot

Goods beers, good fun, great people, not weird people. Bartender is very nice and gave be a great lemon drop shot. First time Ive been asked for my ID in 20 years, great security. The doggos were very scary but Daisy was kind hearted. Love you J Dog~ Joe

This place is pretty cool, they let you bring your dog in as well and you can eat outside with it, it is pretty fratty at times though so if you dont like that then steer clear but all in all it was enjoyable and the food I got was pretty good, the el Toro sandwich which is a different take in the philly cheesesteak. Its located pretty close to the university as well. Seems like a pretty good place to get a drink as well as long as it's not too busy with games going on, but if your older and not into noisy young people it might not be for you!

One of my college staples. We went for HH and again at night when we were in town. The bartender during the middle of the day was super friendly.
The inside is a little run down. However, the floors aren't super sticky like I would expect for a college bar. This place is in the middle of west campus so its central to the the university and the living areas.
They have something that they call a Texas Tea here that is like a Long Island Ice Tea. You can get it with soda or coke. They get served in these huge huge cups. I feel like one of those could really be enough for the entire night.
If beer is your thing, there's so many on tap.
