100 Best Beer Bars in Austin (2016) **UPDATED**


You've been asking for it. Patiently, you waited. Well, here it is—the OFFICIAL and ONLY 100 Best Beer Bars in Austin, updated and all new for 2016. In honor of Ted Cruz's big win in Iowa I was going to give this list a TEXAS sized bump up to 125, but that would be ridiculous. We must be discerning with our choices, especially when it comes to beer. Not everyone can get a trophy. This list is only the best—the best 100! Enjoy and leave a comment about how terrible my list is. But remember, this is official.

*UPDATE* Added Red Horn and Violet Crown Cinema. I was rightly called out on these two via Twitter—Red Horn especially.  And I should also mention, brewery taprooms were not included in this list. Maybe my next list will be 100 Best Brewery Taprooms in Austin. 

*UPDATE #2* Kraft Beer megachain World of Beer is closing up shop (saw it on Facebook, has to be real), after less than a year in biz. Go back to Florida! I'll replace it with a neighborhood fave.

Unkown, I did not include brewery taprooms like 4th Tap, ABW, Hops & Grain, Zilker, etc... Thanks.

Jester King? You listed every other brewpub in town..

Machuca said...

Dear Anonymous,
True, Jester King is technically a brew pub, but in practice they are a brewery with taproom—a great taproom.
