Reviews for The Pub in Austin, TX
Be careful! I noticed that my bill seemed a little high for what I had. They automatically add gratuity, and they add a credit... card surcharge. I almost gave another 20% gratuity. These owners are hoping downtown people who have been drinking don\'tnotice these automatic chargers and over pay.\n\nService was great!\n\nI had the pastrami sandwich. I\'m a huge pastrami fan andwas looking forward to the sandwich. It was good but not great. All the other ingredients made it so I couldn\'t really tastethe pastrami. Read more
Audio is not synced with TVs for the World Series. Also a 20% gratuity enforced on every tab. Huge space for parties or... seclusion. Not sure what the 20% accomplishes accept for a sour feeling on your first sip. Had 3 stars, dropped to 2 because thebartender is vaping behind the bar. Just not professional. However, if you have low to no standards this is the place for you! Read more
Average bar food & drinks; above average prices. The thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was the automatic 20% tip and... credit card fee. I usually tip 20% but adding it automatically for a party of 2 and then begging for more seems wrong to me. Ifyou need to reason your prices, do it. But don’t try to nickel and dime me. This place and food quality is clearly gearedtowards hoping customers will be too drunk to notice those. Shame, I just started a job around the corner but I doubt I will beback. They made a business decision to scam a couple of extra bucks off me tonight and as a result, I won’t be back unless thechange their practices.\n\nIn reply: If you are truly concerned about your employees receiving proper compensation, you could,ya know, properly compensate them. Paying employees who work for you is fairly standard all over the world. Read more
Great Irish bar in downtown Austin complete with a large tree inside the bar. Recommend bangers and mash and the redbreast... whiskey. First time to try the orange Jamison which was also pretty good. Great bartender who tried to explain cricket but westill don’t really understand it Read more
We stumbled into this place just exploring downtown. Food was great, and Marquell was fantastic behind the bar- all his recs... were on point! Order the pickle back- they make it in house, and it’s absolutely amazing. Food was also great, and they had agreat selection of both Irish beers and whiskeys. Highly recommend, and will be back!

Great place to watch sports with a warm and cozy Irish vibe! So many HD TVs everywhere you look, including the bathrooms. The... food is great and the beer selection is awesome (a couple Irish brews on tap!).\n\nI go mainly to watch Iowa Hawkeye footballgames, but they’ve got lots of English soccer and other sports playing all of the time! Ask a waiter/worker and they’llsurely put a game on for you.\n\nI’ll be coming here a lot! Read more
Love this place! Great for sporting events no doubt. But, The food is next level bar food! If you’re in the downtown area. You... won’t find a better pub. True to its name, with all around elevation to fit the Austin Texas vibes. I had the bangers andmash. Highly recommended. Read more
We were looking for an Irish pub to watch the Notre Dame game and The Pub did not disappoint! There were multiple... couches/nooks/seating options each with their own TV’s that the bar staff happily put on whatever game you wanted. It wasawesome! Also they had a great ordering system that you just scanned the QR code and ordered and payed and then your drink andfood showed up to your table number. It was great! The drinks were good, food was delicious and ambiance was amazing! We willdefinitely be back! Read more
