Reviews for Second Bar + Kitchen in Austin, TX

A bit expensive, but worth it. Even a salad is well designed and carefully crafted. I had a salmon perfectly cooked. Their beer... and wine selection might not be the best, but their cocktails are also a good choice. Read more

Open late, amazing service and the food was impressive. The staff was kind and accommodating for a 10:20 PM dinner. Food was... fast and fresh, exactly what you want when things happen and you dont get dinner until late. I would definitely go back. Read more

Service started off nice, then it just slowly went down to "Where the hell is our server, and why is he taking forever!" A group... of 5 girls trying to stay pleasant and nice, anxiously waiting for the check to wrap things up because we were seated outsideand freezing to death. (Not my idea to sit outside.) when we finally got our server's attention, we asked for the bill. We askedif we could get split checks, and he said we could, it's just going to take awhile. Just great. "Okay, never mind. All one checkplease". We couldn't stand waiting any longer! Regardless, we all thought the food was decent and we would come back again.Everything was tasty and good portions were served. Read more

Always a solid choice downtown for a nice business lunch or dinner. I live nearby and frequent it because it?s always a good... choice. Especially for picky eaters that like American food but don?t really branch out beyond that. Brunch is my favorite mealthey serve, it?s all good. For dinner I love their Congress burger and the chicken is killer as well. Read more

Party of 8 went there for New Years Eve Dinner. Absolutely excellent meal, attentive service and atmosphere. Some of our party... ordered the small plates and some of us ordered entrees. They all came out hot, one of my pet peeves with large groups. Iordered the braised beef short rib · truffle grits · caramelized onions · brandy balsamic glaze · tobacco onions $25. I hadnot had anything flavored with tobacco. It was not overwhelming and added to the dish. The best meal I have had in ages. We allshared bites of all the other plates and they were delicious also. Highly recommended! Read more
