Reviews for Vigilante Gastropub & Games in Austin, TX

I go for the food and the arcade game at the bar. They have a small assortment of small plates, but the ones they have are super... good. They have a hand spun milkshake that is worth stopping in for. The whole point of this place is to play board games and Ihaven’t even done that yet ???? Read more

We love this place and try and go every time we're in town! A lot of thought clearly went into every aspect of the customer... experience and the whole place is very well designed. The menu is delicious, full of puns, focuses on small bites spacedthroughout the evening. The plates and cups fit into separate sections of the custom game tables so that they don't get in theway of your board games. Speaking of, their collection is very well curated, updating over time and providing a wide range ofexperiences and complexity levels that are all still appropriate to the mood and time constraints of a night out. The decor isvery fun and appropriately geeky. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and you can call them to your table withthe press of a button so that they interrupt your games as little as possible. Overall a fantastic destination for a fun eveningout. Read more

It’s been a few years since I had been here, but on a whim I decided to change locations and bring my motley group here for a... special dungeons and dragons session. The pandemic closure really allowed this place to fancy up even more than before. It wasgreat a few years ago, but you can tell a lot more love has been added. The remodel is awesome. Speaking of more love, the menuhas just gotten better. The burgers were amazing, and the milkshakes will make you put your game on pause. The staff is justthe right amount of attentive, and Preston is as always a cordial host. You really feel at home here. For most of my group itwas their first time here, and they all loved it. I feel guilty not coming here more often, it’s a decent ride from southAustin, but last nights visit reminded me why it’s worth it. Thanks for being part of Austin, Vigilante. I’ll be back soon!

Our servers were absolutely wonderful and the Game Master was so helpful when teaching us each game! I was there celebrating my... birthday with my friends, and the server upgraded us to a secret room for the night! It was such a lovely gift to be upgraded toone of your awesome rooms on my birthday. We will definitely be back again and hope to check out any fun events that come up aswell! Keep up the amazing work and cool atmosphere! Read more

EXCELLENT concept, food, service, and game options with super nice bathrooms!!! My partner an I had an awesome date here and... I’ve been wanting to return since. Vigilante’s not only a great date spot but they’re also good for large groups, and theyoffer private speakeasy-style rooms for private events. I’ll definitely be returning, soon. Read more

We have always had the best time here. Food is a little pricey and the portions are smaller (to accommodate for tabletop... gameplay), but the food is tasty (+7 to the drink menu), staff is great, the game options are infinite and there is alwayssomeone there to help you choose or understand the rules to a game. Highly recommend for a group of friends or even just acouple. You have the option to invite a new player to your table, if you're looking to meet new people. Very unique hangout ifyou like games, food and fun! Read more

A hidden gem! $5 per person gets y’all access to their impressive game library that has options for the most casual, lowkey... board gamer to those looking to settle in for a multi-hour knock-down-drag out. The cocktails range classic to imaginative (sageice cubes?!) but they’re all good. Staff is fun and helpful and everyone seems to actually care about games. Truly love thisplace! Read more

Amazing games, great staff, and fantastic vibes. We were able to book a BOOKCASE ROOM which is in itself cool. Ordering menu... items in 3's gets you a discount and you can stagger or have all items come out at once. The quality of the food and drinks aregreat and the portions are good enough to try multiple items. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try new games and nothaving to buy them! Read more
