1972 Pub

Had a great time here with my daughter! We really enjoyed the atmosphere and all the memorabilia on the walls… from stadium chairs, to softball league freebies, to roller derby posters. The burger was outstanding… thick and juicy and tasty! Flatbread pizza could use a bit more sauce, but it was good. Fries were excellent. We are looking forward to coming back!

1972 is an exciting, welcoming bar focused on celebrating women's sports. On Guadalupe across from the UT campus, they're a great place to watch a game, get together with your team, or celebrate a victory. They have several bar stools, tables, and booths inside as well as a large shaded back patio with several more tables. The staff are friendly, and they have a pub menu including many beers, several on tap, and several cocktails. There is paid street parking on surrounding blocks, but it is free on Sundays. I look forward to going back soon!

I absolutely love coming here! 💗 It’s a judgment-free zone where you can bring your family and little ones to enjoy women’s sports in a warm, welcoming environment. The wings are amazing, the food is always fresh, and the drinks are fantastic. Prices are very reasonable too. What truly sets this place apart is the family atmosphere. The bartenders go above and beyond to make you feel at home, and it’s clear they care about creating a real sense of community. It’s kid-friendly, and when the owner is there, she takes the time to talk to you—which adds such a personal, caring touch. More than just a place to eat—it feels like family. Some days it’s quiet and relaxed, while other times it’s full of energy with passionate sports fans all coming together. That mix is what makes it special—whether you’re looking to unwind or get into the spirit of the game, you’re surrounded by people who share your love for sports and good vibes.

I had a blast at the Grand Opening with the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce! Congrats to the team! Such a lovely and inclusive space to hang out with friends and watch some women's sports.

Absolutely great atmosphere!! Elote hushpuppies were delicious, great variety of all types of food options. Drinks are priced just right. Overall an amazing place to watch women’s sports. Can’t wait to go back. The owners are super friendly !

Outstanding Experience and Truly a Community Gem! My wife and I visited 1972 Pub for one of the College World Series championship games, and our only regret is that we didn’t spend all three games here! Everything about our experience was exceptional. The food was fantastic, delicious, perfectly prepared, and satisfying. Yet the real stars here are the staff and the incredible atmosphere they’ve cultivated. The sense of community at 1972 Pub is truly special. It was heartwarming to see patrons offer to slide over on a bench to make room for newcomers or spontaneously complimenting each other as they passed by. These genuine and kind moments were seamlessly woven into the fabric of our visit, creating a welcoming environment unlike any other. We sincerely look forward to returning again soon. Cheers to the owners and staff for building such a wonderful place that embodies community spirit at its best!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our first time visiting 1972 Pub, and we absolutely loved it! We met friends there and were immediately impressed by the welcoming, upbeat atmosphere. As a whole food plant-based family, we were thrilled to find several delicious options on the menu. The Roasted Carrot Hummus was full of flavor, and the Tahini Vegetable Salad was fresh, hearty, and satisfying. It's not always easy to find great plant-based choices when dining out, but 1972 Pub delivered. We’ll definitely be back!

My New FAVORITE spot. ALL FEMALE sports are played here. I love it!! The owners are friendly and welcoming! It's like walking into a huge hug!!! 10X10 Food is great. Those Mia's and that bubbles (champagne) drinks are 🔥 🔥 🔥

Gosh I don't even know where to start.,, I had such an amazing experience here and these folks are doing something amazing in helping increase the visibility of women's sports in the area. The staff were all super friendly and even played games with my daughter during their downtime. The service was beyond excellent. The atmosphere is very relaxed and I couldn't have been more comfortable. The TV's are quality and always turned to the best in women's sports. The establishment seems to work with local women's sports teams and you could see that represented through the decorations and schwag around the bar. Its good to see a locally owned business reach out and make an impact in the actual community. Now all of the above is more than enough to lock in a solid five star review for any sports bar... but wait there's more.. We went during brunch and had most of the brunch menu. Everything was fantastic. The gravy on the biscuits and gravy was creamy and perfect in every way. The green sauce for the tacos was spicy and delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy just how I like em. The hashbrowns are true work of art... They fall somewhere between home fries and classic hash browns and its a style I hadn't really had before that I now absolutely love. These may be my favorite hashbrowns in the whole city. The drinks were also great. I had the michelada and I'm not sure what mix they are using but you could definitely taste the celery salt. The bloody mary was also really good and I even tried a sip of my wife's very tasty mimosa. 1972 is a true Austin gem. It's located right on the drag across from UT and I look forward to seeing not only its impact on women's sports in our community but enjoying more of delicious food and drinks! P.S.: Also I read over some of the reviews for the location and I'm pretty sure Chelsy M. and Macey K. are either friends of ex employees or ex employees with a grudge trying to strike out by writing a poor yelp review.. talk about giving the yelp community a bad name .. yep those are the kind of folks doing it.

I really want to give this place 5 stars because of how sweet Debra was and how delicious their biscuits and onion rings are but there's a lot of room for improvement. The service was okay, not great. We were there for about 3 hours and instead of being asked "are y'all doing okay?" it felt somewhat (slightly) pushy to ask if I wanted another round or if I wanted to order food. Of course that is one way to "check in" on a patron but it was not methodical. The bathrooms were clean, the barrel of water was clean, and the floors were clean. I enjoyed the decor for how limited the space truly is. The mission of the pub is clear: to host women or female-identifying/non-binary folx in a safe space while showing women's sports. They excel at this mission. We were there for a soccer match but over 20 people were there for a rugby match. SUPER cool stuff. I didn't feel judged as a masculine-presenting person. Now the gritty...the food and beverage prices! Jesus Christ. I don't think I've ever seen onion rings for $11. I don't think I've paid $16 for a salad that had frozen chicken in it. After I was done eating it, both of my friends said they thought the chicken was ham. My friend ordered a pretzel that looked half baked and he didn't eat it. There's a lot to improve on here. Yes, I'll be back. No, I probably won't get anything but the overpriced biscuits and gravy. Cheers to all of the NA drink choices!

This is really cool place. Brand new ! Great bartenders. They were definitely busy. The patio out back will be perfecto when there is more shade. Full bar. Nice food options.

Hosted our Women's US Open Watch Party for our LPGA Amateur Golf Association Austin Chapter. The food and service were great. Awesome vibe, amazing staff and fun time connecting with our community.

I'd heard about this bar opening up and finally got a chance to go. Located right near UT, it's a small, cozy, bar with a great vibe. They have a pretty large patio with a couple of games, and of course TVs playing exclusively women's sports! The inside is spacious and there are plenty of TVs so you can watch your game from wherever you are sitting. The food menu is unique! I got the onion rings, and my friend got the loaded fries, both were 10/10. The servers were very friendly and personable, and both our drink and food orders came out super quick! They have a small parking lot behind the patio, there is some street parking, and it is walking distance from the San Antonio garage. Definitely recommend 1972!! Support women!!

Just went for the first time--I'm not a sports fan. But my husband and I met a couple of friends there for a recent drag brunch, and had such a great time. Unlike so many sports bars, it's not dark and dingy but clean and bright and inviting. The obligatory gigantic TV screens are everywhere, including on the surprisingly appealing back patio built into the parking lot, and while they were showing plenty of different sports broadcasts (including professional women's football... Who knew?!), They were silenced for the show. The owner and staff are incredibly personable and welcoming, the drink menu is good and reasonably priced, and the food is terrific, judging by the burgers all four of us ordered and devoured. And the drag was great! Rumor has It they may be doing drag brunch regularly once a month. I probably avoid the place during big sports games, because I hear it's a mecca for sports fans, which I am not. But it's definitely somewhere I'd hang out otherwise. Parking can be a consideration, but we have no trouble finding nearby street parking.

Women's sports, draught beer, upscale pub food, and tasty snacks. All in a friendly and festive atmosphere. Close parking in the San Antonio garage. Al fresco patio dining. We tried the Mia (spicy mezcal cocktail), the Simone (Don Q Cristal and coconut with lime), the elotes hush puppies with delicious dipping sauce, the 1972 burger with caramelized onion jam, and the steak frites. For dessert we tried the deliciously cinnamony bread pudding. We definitely plan to return when we're in the area of the University of Texas area! Hook 'em lady horns!

I loved going here but unfortunately it seems there has been a big exodus in staff and something that can be great has been ruined due to poor ownership. Its unfortunate I really had high hopes but the quality is just not there.

Such a fun and welcoming place! Barbecue chicken flatbread was good but my favorite was the cinnamon roll bread pudding. It feels just like any other sports bar without the rowdiness/uncleanliness of traditional sports bars. The owner is very nice too!!

I thought this place was great at first but it seems like the ownership is a little nutty:( they fired all the nice bartenders and the expensive food/drinks aren't worth another visit

Took a road trip to Austin to visit this bar and watch the womens basketball games. Was not disapointed. Good food, good prices, great vibe and spectacular service. Will be coming back!

Great food!!! Yummy drinks!!! Wonderful atmosphere!!! The ladies sports on tv is amazing!!!

Staff was super helpful and nice. I really enjoyed my food, I got the BBQ chicken flatbread and the cinnamon roll bread pudding. Lots of TVs so you could see the games from any seat. There were a couple issues with the stream for the NSWL match, but I'm sure the technical hitches will be worked out. Overall, it was a very welcoming environment and I was glad to see it was busy for March Madness! I'll definitely be back to catch more soccer games in the future :)

Had the pleasure of checking out 1972 yesterday and it was great! Food and drinks were on point and the employees were seriously so nice. They had only been open for 3 days so a couple of kinks but the staff were great about it and it will get sorted in no time. Btw, the thin cut onion rings were crazy good

Such a fun place to watch a game!! Great people and service!! Amazing vibes and drinks. I would recommend the Simone!
