Bull & Bowl

What a great spot to hang out with friends! I ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was crispy and juicy, the potatoes were smooth and creamy, and the gravy was delicious! We moved out the patio after eating to enjoy some drinks, shuffleboard, and great company while the sun set. Turns out activities are free on Sundays! We had a great time and Bull & Bowl.

I dined in a few weeks ago and I had not forgot about that chicken fried chicken not a lot of places serve chicken fried chicken and it was amazing. However it did bother me because I have an allergy and it doesn’t mention on the menu that there is raw green onions sprinkled on top, other than that I thought everything was wonderful. I think our servers name was Gretchen. I’m not sure but she was awesome.

Bachelorette trip of 13. Made reservations and had bottomless mimosas. We had Bull- ritto, hamburger, waterloo breakfast, chicken waffles, and chicken benedict. Espresso martinis was so good.

This place is an absolute blast! We were a large party of guys celebrating a bachelor party and Heather (I believe that was her name) took great care of us! Everyone really enjoyed the food and the vibe in there is all about enjoyment! Not a negative person in sight! A couple of us rode the bull and the operator cheered us on and was just a great guy! Thanks for showing us Chicago boys a good time!

My husband and I went in for brunch today and it was way better than expected. He got the steak and eggs and I got the avocado toast with a side of breakfast potatoes. We also got the bottomless mimosas that were delicious and strong lol. The only downside is sometimes it got really loud and the girlies were yelling on the mechanical bull. It's a fun party vibe for sure tho!

Well, we visited as a pretty good sized group and had a mix of experiences. I enjoyed my food and had a great time. Others on my team had a different experience. I ultimately went with 4 stars weighted by my time there more than what I’m sure others would claim is a 2-3 star. To start, we tried a few drinks. Everyone enjoyed a mix of their cocktails. We tried the Left Hand Free, Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, The Ladybird, and King Pin Kicker. Everyone said they enjoyed their drinks. Then we had a few starters including the fries, wings, and cornbread. I really enjoyed the cornbread! The wings are a mild spicy and the fries pretty straightforward. On the entrees, this is where we had a pretty big mix of opinion. Especially around the salmon dish. Some people enjoyed it, others thought it was too oily and not enough rice. I didn’t have it so it’s hard for me to say. The presentation was good but that’s all I can personally comment on. I had the Texas Rodeo Burger which was delicious and messy! But that’s what I expect with a big burger like that so I loved it. We didn’t try dessert but in general, hard to go wrong with a cast iron skillet cookie. For the bull riding and bowling, we had a fun time! We didn’t know going into it that it is mini-bowling though. So if you come expecting a full bowling lane, you will be disappointed. Overall, if you choose to visit, I hope you enjoy and I hope this helps a little! Have fun!

Atmosphere is lively. Plenty of tvs to watch and a mechanical bull ride. Food was amazing, along with the espresso Martini.

We came here to celebrate a 21st birthday and it was really fun! The food was great, the drinks were okay. The mimosa deal definitely was the best bang for your buck so a few of us messed up not ordering that. Some of our group really enjoyed the mechanical bull as well

Bull and Bowl is such a fun spot! Whether you're here for the bull, to bowl, to eat, or to just take advantage of their $20 bottomless mimosas on the weekends from 11 AM - 3 PM, there's plenty to keep everyone busy. I've been here for both brunch and dinner, but with the unbeatable $20 bottomless mimosas on the weekends, brunch is definitely my go-to.

Came for the bull, and the bull did not disappoint! The fee to ride the bull is $10, but you can basically try it out as many times as you want. We came early on a Saturday night, and it wasn't crowded around 7 but it started to pick up around 8 pm. Located down the street from other bars so could be a fun stop for the night. Food: This place has a good selection of food. The truffle fries and the brussel sprouts are my favorite! Very flavorful and fresh. The cornbread was good but a little underdone for my taste and pretty sweet. We also ordered a Caesar salad which was a good portion, but very cheesy. The strawberry frose was also delicious. Service: Everyone was nice and welcoming, and food and drink orders came fairly quick. Vibe: This was a fun mix between an arcade and a restaurant. The arcade games were a bit pricey, but still cool to check out! There's also a photo booth and duck bowling as well.

Overall, it was abgreat experience. We were there to watch a college football game. It was on at the same time as the Texas Longhorns. Initially, we thought they would turn all the TV's to that game. They changed all but ours. Since we had dinner planned at another establishment, we drank and ate light. The grilled shrimps were delicious so we placed another order. Iced tea was fresh. Old fashion wasn't too sweet. The staff were attentive.

Great place for brunch. They had a live DJ who was playing really great music and food was delicious. The place itself is huge and a clean restaurant. Portions of their food is huge! So sharing is a good idea! The Steak and Eggs was a huge plate! And Cornbread is a big recommendation since it's cooked great and tastes wonderful. Only downside during my experience is that it took over 30minutes for someone to acknowledge our table, we only saw 1 server going around tables but other employees were standing at the host stand or by the bar. Had to ask if our server was going to come by but it did seem they never told the server we were seated. Wished the team had more synergy of helping each other out. Overall a great place.

Hands down #1 spot for a good mimosa deal and an even better time! The menu is on the smaller side, but it does offer some solid brunch choices like avocado toast, the bull-rito, and truffle fries. My main draw here is their $20 bottomless mimosas -- with a variety of flavors (my fav being guava), the servers keep your glass topped off, which is both greatly appreciated and very much dangerous! Easy to lose track of how many you've had... It's a fun party vibe with arcade games, bowling, private karaoke rooms, and even a mechanical bull. Whether you're kicking off your day with a lively brunch or celebrating a bachelorette party, Bull and Bowl is a must-visit for an unforgettable (...well) time!

Be sure to call ahead to check that they're open and that they're available for you to dine in. When I looked up their business hours, it said they were open. It looks like a nice place to have a good time. Unfortunately we were not able to have that good time. After taking a 40 minute Lyft, upon walking in we saw a sign on their door saying they are closed due to a private party. I then asked for confirmation from the person sitting at the door. He confirmed there was a private party and the business would not be open to the public that night. How inconvenient. Perhaps next time they can put the listing online and on the phone so no one wastes money trekking there for no reason.

Had a blast celebrating a friends birthday on a Sunday! They have an amazing deal on every Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 3 pm for brunch for only $20 you can get bottomless mimosas! Only for 2 hours from time of purchase though. Different flavors and they make them pretty good! Not too much juice just like I like it. You do have to at least purchase one food entree to get the deal though. Also all the arcade games, mechanical bull and bowling are free! So much fun riding the bull and bowling. They DJ was also playing some good music to set the perfect Sunday Funday vibe. Best Sunday Funday deal I've found in Austin!

Pretty good spot. Hung out for drinks and food prior to a night UT game. The 6th street sunrise was good and refreshing on a 95*+ day. We got in a little early before the first games were over. The place started to get full by the time the second game started. Still great friendly service. Note that they do not transition to the lunch menu until after 3:00. The truffle fries were really good, they were perfectly crunchy and the mix of garlic and parmesan was very good. I went with the crispy honey chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked and fried perfectly. My feedback for the sandwich was the swiss did not pair real well with the sandwich so I took it off. The sweetness of the honey was nice but could use a little heat, couple dashes of chulula and presto it worked out. We did not try the big cowboy 100 oz drink but it did look interesting. Basically a huge peach infused tom collins. Good chill place with cool sports fans from all over. Worth the time.

Came Saturday night. Wasn't too busy. Just had a drink and appetizers. Wait staff was super nice and helpful. Music was up beat. We sat at the gig top table. We could see the mechanical bull on the other side of the room. Both dared the other to try it out. But after eating and a drink. Was not a good idea. We both bailed on that date. Next time, before we eat and drink, I'm taking that bet, and I'm gonna own it.

Popped in for dinner and the food was surprisingly very good! I def recommend the Brussels and the corn bread. If you like a very cheesy macaroni that is flavorful as well. Everything is portioned to share in my opinion. There's a full bar and rooftop area over looking 6th street. The servers were friendly and food arrived quickly. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the espresso martini which just didn't quite taste right. I would definitely return though.

5.14.24- What a neat place! Stopped in with colleagues for food & entertainment/team building. We were seated about 20 minutes before a huge party of 90 arrived. Lively vibes !! Ordered drinks then went to the mechanical bull. I was there to cheer on all brave souls. Much to my surprise, none of the ladies on my team tried to ride the bull. They were afraid of getting hurt. Others did and the struggle walking to even mount the bull was funny. The bowling area was crowded so we returned to our table to eat. Ordered multiple starters including truffle fries and fresh corn bread. My shrimp avocado salad was complex and delicious. I enjoyed this place. The drinks and food are good. It's a perfect hang for friends, date night, or a work function. They also have a cool reserved outdoor area. Check them out!

Initially came in for Karaoke but sat at the bar for a few rounds of drinks. My friends visiting from out of town took turns with the bull riding which was fun to watch. Bartenders were really nice and hospitable as well. Had a great time!

Nice hang out spot. They have duck bowling, skee ball and basketball, throwing along with riding the ball. It's a large spot with lots of different seating. Great for a group of people. Unclear if this is how they do it all the time, but there was a cup full of dollar bills near the basketball and skee ball area with a sign that says play for free. The entire place is upstairs, but they did have an elevator.

It's hard not to have a great time at bull and bowl. There's a mechanical bull, bowling, pool, arcade games, and a bar. While I have only been at night, the vibe is relaxed and fun. I would recommend it as a great spot to pregame before hitting up other places on west 6th. Keep in mind that it does close at 1am and they start shutting down bowling even earlier. I have been to bull and bowl several times and have always had friendly experiences with the staff. I have played the pinstack bowling which costs around $15 dollars per person. The mechanical bull is $10 but is a must try at least once. This is a great place for a date or pregaming for a night out with friends. I can also see it being a perfect venue for a corporate outing as well. Depending on the night, it can get quite busy so be prepared to wait in line for the more popular games

I Thoroughly enjoyed This restaurant. The food was served fresh and they provide plant based options . We were the only ones in the restaurant at time of arrival so our server assisted us immediately. She was extremely friendly and constantly checked in to see if we needed nothing else. She was very familiar with the menu and provided us with other options/ suggestions . I definitely recommend this place . Be sure to ride the bull before you leave !!!

I accompanied my parents here on a work outing. Since I wasn't there for work, I got to enjoy most things they had to offer! Our large group had the whole upstairs so my mom and I did karaoke first before digging into the buffet. I wish there were more food options, but that's up to the event planner rather than the venue. The food we did have was delicious and I went back for seconds. Afterwards we played some pool and I beat everyone in duck bowling! The staff kept up well with the drink tickets and replenishing food as necessary.

Good service and enjoyed my time there.. food was average at best ... enjoyed the ambiance n drinks

Review only for the brunch since I didn't use the bull (or bowl) haha. I ordered the Waterloo Breakfast which I must say I was very impressed by how much food was on my plate and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. My only complaints were it could have used a bit more salt and the turkey sausage tasted like it came straight out of a package...unfortunately they didn't have an option for pork sausage for some reason. The toast was pretty buttery and while the potatoes weren't the crispiest, they were a nice addition to the meal. Was it the best brunch I've had? No, but for the price and the quantity of food, I would definitely recommend! The music was a bit too loud for my liking at 11 AM since they had a DJ play on a Sunday morning, but my friends enjoyed the atmosphere and getting to ride the bull after our meal.

Got the wagyu steak and eggs. Well served plate, everything was delicious and perfect texture. The environment is great, there's billiard and bowling. 10/10

Had to make reservations and pay/guest ahead of time. Really awesome 2 story place with entertainment (bowling, 3 arcade games, and a mechanical bull). Had to wait at least 10mins for our server on a busy Saturday night but nothing bad. Reservations for bowling and dinner are separate!!! Huge heads up for that. Wasn't a HUGE fan of the food, but definitely other options on the menu to choose from.

The vibe is good country theme to the max and the bottomless mimosas are definitely Worth it. Food is ass tho my chicken and waffles were definitely frozen only hate the waffles since the chicken had a weird flavor. The servers are amazing!!

Great service & good food! Specially with are waiter Kolin! The environment just got even better with him! Always checked up on us and has a great personality! Definitely will be coming back!

We love this place so much! It's for 21+ up so you don't have kids running around and breaking the games, duck pins, and mechanical bull. The drinks are good are absolutely delicious. I could've had the King Pin Kicker all day! The perfect sweet and spicy drink. We then ordered the cornbread for an appetizer and the açaí coconut parfait and honey butter chicken sandwich, which were all filling and delicious. But the showstopper was the cornbread which comes out fresh and hot, and literally melts in your mouth. I could live off of their cornbread, which is probably the best cornbread I have ever had! Following our meals, we had a great time bowling and riding the mechanical bull.

When I come back, probably not. It was just OK. Decided to go in the middle of a summer day, because it was too hot to be outside. And the bowling was fun, but got annoying because the pins consistently got stuck and we had to ask over 10 times for them to be fixed. Some work needs to be done there. The staff was super sweet tho. A little over priced for the quality you're getting at this place.

My trip to Bull and Bowl was nothing short of a great time. Me and a group came for brunch on a sunday to take advantage of the bottomless mimosas. The staff was very fast and friendly and the food and drinks were a delight. We took advantage of the bowling and the mechanical bull and had the best time. We kept our tab open and were able to walk up to the bar and get more mimosas while bowling. Great spot in downtown Austin and I will definitely be returning.

I love this place. The bartender Cassidy is perfect in every aspect possible I love her so much

I came here on a Saturday for brunch because my friend saw it on Instagram advertising their weekend brunch. I was excited to try it since it recently opened and looked really cool judging from the pictures. The entrance is along a street downtown and you have to walk up some stairs since it's located on the second floor. The place felt spacious and gave off very cool vibes just like the pictures I had seen. They had just opened for the day when we got there so they seated us at the bar where we could also order food. I was a little disappointed when they brought out the recently updated menus since I had looked up their original menu online and they had cut out some options that I had been excited to try. For brunch, they didn't have many classic brunch menu items. The prices were also fairly high - I ended up getting an avocado toast and that itself was $13, not including the cost of the egg I got with it. It was delicious to say the least, but it's also difficult to mess up an avocado toast. The drinks were good - we got mimosas and I asked for something sweet, to which the bartender made a little pink cocktail that delivered on sweetness. We played some billiards which was fun, but I honestly just felt pressured to hurry since it costs $15 per hour (prorated). This brings me to my main concern that everything is pricey - the food, drinks, billiards, arcade games, bowling. Even the mechanical bull is $10 per ride. I would recommend coming on a Sunday when games (excluding arcade games) are free. The place is 21 & up so it's the perfect place for an adult outing. The service was generally friendly and the facilities themselves are glamorous, but I am not convinced that everything is worth the price. There are paid parking spaces by the place - my friend used an app that she says can be used for most parking areas in downtown Austin.

This place was so fun! We made a reservation and day of they called and asked if they could push it back 30 minutes. We had no problem with that, but they still covered our first round of drinks as a thank you for the accommodation. We were there during happy hour, so drinks we so inexpensive. Got to enjoy the bull riding and karaoke rooms during happy hour for free as well. We had so much fun and definitely would come again!

Discovered this place yesterday for the UT OU game. We arrived at 11AM starting time & stayed for the entire game (defeated tears). The bar is super groovy, tv screens wrapped all around the bar, plus they have tv screens everywhere. They have a mechanical bull, bowling, pool tables, and a few other games. Parker was our bartender and he was always checking on us with a smile! During half time we enjoyed the outdoor patio overlooking 6th ST. We tried their truffle fries, so delicious! The only thing I would've loved was a tap beer, however they had plenty of local craft beer! We loved this place & will definitely return!

Customer service was great! You can make reservations online. I made a reservation online and had to pay $10. If you cancel the reservation or don't show up you will be charged $10 per person. This is a new place so I was excited to try it out. It's a cool restaurant. They have stairs you have to go up before you enter the restaurant. Across from the front counter it's a real dead bull. The restaurant offers games that you can play, which is cool. You can bowl, play arcade ball and basketball. I didn't play any games this time, but I when I return I will play them. My waiter said the games are free on Sunday's. They play loud hip hop music. They atmosphere was nice. It was young to older people in the restaurant so the music choice is interesting. The food was good.

Loved the DJ, food was fire and all games are free on Sunday. Make sure to grab a breakfast shot for brunch!

Found this place through open table. We booked a reservation for my brothers birthday. My notes were ignored of what was asked that can be done to make our experience better. The food was just ok. The service was not the best. They charge $10/hr for parking. Im all about the quality of food and service but this place did not meet my expectations. I tried their mushroom pasta($22)that was just cold and bland. The Brussels sprouts($13)were ok as well as their ribeye steak($41)The truffle mac n chz($13)was tasty but heavy. Fries($14)were nothing special. Salmon($25) was salty and tough. Buffalo shrimp($15) you can get just about anywhere. I wanted to bowl but by the time our party of seven were done eating we lost interest. There was a lot of bull riding contestants that made it fun to watch. However, this concept could be a little too much for a nice dinner out. Oh well... on to the next adventure!

10/10 My husband and I sat at the bar and were helped by Parker. Parker was awesome! He was so happy and attentive. We appreciated the good vibes. We also had the chicken sandwich- soooooo gooooood! We will definitely be coming back.

Among so many great venues in the West 6th St. Bull and Bowl proved to be outstanding! I went for the first time last night with a couple of my compadres who work in I.T. sales with me in North Austin. Like so many Austinites, we love our craft beer and we love our cocktails. Bull and bowl hit the nail on the head on both! Their beer selection is second to none, and their craft cocktails are delightful as they are innovative. After a few drinks, I got pretty hungry and decided to make a YOLO and order the tomahawk steak! Well slap my belly and call me Nancy, because I have never seen a steak so big. It was love at first bite. The hot beautiful red meat melted in my mouth and the rest is history. I will never forget my experience at B&B and am so happy that they have blessed Austin with such an exceptional experience. P.S. don't ride the bull after you eat a tomahawk and down 4 IPA's (sorry bull guy)

Service was great, but the food was NOT GOOD! Extremely underwhelming and overpriced. Ended up having to get food else where after we left.

It was just okay. I think maybe I was expecting more, guess I should have read the reviews. It's definitely miniature bowling, so I guess I should be grateful they had something like that there? The food was fine and the servers were fine. As most people mentioned, they make you open a tab even at the restaurant side of the joint. We were able to continue that on to the bowling area which was cool. The people in a couple of lanes down mistook me for a waiter, I guess because theirs never came around (?), even though this place had more wait staff around than most other places right now. It was super hot in the bowling area so we were all sweating bullets. Truffle fries were good! Restaurant itself is quite loud so if you're in a party of more than 3 I would recommend not getting a booth.

Food is so so, they should include bowls! Anyways... I love the entertainment they provide (karaoke, arcade games, bill riding, bowling, etc). I could see myself coming here for any occasion.

This place is the bomb diggity!! The bartender Cassidy is a really swell gal! She provided superb service with a can do attitude- will definitely back to see her and the gang here at bull & bowl!! (Also if you ride the Bull make sure you wear panties!)

Come here for the vibes and fun, not the food. Expect bar quality food at the price of an upscale dinner. However, the amusement of the place made up for it. There's so much to do (arcade games, mechanical bull, bowling, pool, and karaoke), you could really spend hours here and not get bored. Overall would recommend if you're looking for a good time!

Place can get a bit crowded, but there was no wait time for duckpin or PacMan. Food and drinks were pretty good. Would recommend.

Great food and very fun ambience! Bar service was also fantastic throughout the night!

This place exceeded my expectations by a long shot because I popped in mainly to check out the mechanical bull being advertised by their sign outside. I concur with other reviewers that the food, drinks, games, and service are all GREAT. I was pretty blown away, since I cannot think of another establishment that excels at each of those things. The White Russian Shake and Black Cherry Sling were delicious. I dream of the shake still. My friends enjoyed their respective drinks and pork chop meal. The bartenders were welcoming, ultra friendly, and attentive. I only deduct a star because the games were on the pricier side, and the music for DDR was effectively inaudible. It cost $10 for two bull rides and $4 for two people to play one game of DDR. Skee-Ball's rates felt decent though.

Food's great. Drinks are great. Games are great. What more do you need? We had a large group of 14 people and they did amazing attending to us! Everything we ordered just hit the spot. -Black Truffle Fries: amazing! -BBQ Pork Belly Wraps: amazing! -Honey Butter Crispy Chicken Sandwich: amazing! -Truffle Mac and Cheese: amazing! -Drinks: Southern Collins, King Pin Kicker: you guessed it- amazing! Food portions were generous so keep that in mind. We had plenty of leftovers. After dinner we bowled for a couple hours and rode the mechanical Bull. This place is TOO much fun and we can't wait to come back!!

Great Drinks, And environment. On the west side of 6th street you will find this, tucked puff gem.

A mechanical bull, mini bowling and pool tables....such a cool concept and super fun place! Reservations for bowling are a must and I highly suggest you make them in a timely manner as when we arrived on a Friday around 8:30, it was packed and stayed packed throughout the night. We were celebrating my friends birthday and they took great care of us. We brought in a cake and they provided us with a lighter and did not charge us a fee for bringing in outside food. Speaking of food, the food is very good here! I stand behind the buffalo shrimp, cornbread and brussel sprouts. I have never ridden a mechanical bull and it was so fun...a lot harder than I thought! Definitely worth it if you have never done it.

Came here for a friend's birthday brunch, the place was nice but our server was terribly rude and really ruined the whole experience for us. She was so condescending and kind of a bully. Drinks were mediocre at best. Cool concept but hire better service.

This review is solely for the entertainment part. Unfortunately I came here for a bachelorette and the place was welcoming in the beginning, however it soon was no so good. My friend and I went up to the bar where the bartender was on her computer not paying attention that we had walked up to the bar. We finally caught her attention and we asked for tokens on the bull. Once we got these tokens, it was finally my turn to ride on the bull. The person who was controlling the bull did give the bridal party all a fair chance and making it fun for us. Once it came my turn to get on the bull, it was a lot taller than I anticipated. I am a shorter person and I could not make it up the bull. He stated I could not receive any help from my friends and I had to get onto the bull on my own. I attempted multiple times but my height (and partial lack of strength I guess :/) did not allow me to get on the bull. Once I asked for a refund they were not able to give me one and everyone seemed clueless on being able to give a refund for this. I had to ask multiple people about a refund and the second bartender stated he would have to ask his manager. Unfortunately I couldn't speak to him because we were on a time constraint trying to make it at a reservation elsewhere so I did not end up getting to speak to him. If you want to come here for a bachelorette or a fun event, my advice is to spend it elsewhere. I will not be recommending this place for any of my friends who visit Austin.

Went here for a bite to eat on a Saturday around 5 or so, and I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy the food was! The truffle mac and cheese was EXCELLENT, as well as the mushroom pasta. The bull was great, and our group of 5 really enjoyed our time at Bull And Bowl! We had a lovely server as well.

Managers dodge calls and don't give refunds absolutely unprofessional. Charged me on their supposed free game night and when I asked they always say they'll look into it and never hear back. They will steal from you.
