Little Woodrow's Burnet

This is a bonafide Austin place to chill, watch the game, meet with friends, or just hang out. Careful with parking, not a lot of space directly on the site. The staff was friendly, drink prices are probably just a tad below average which is notable in the bar scene. I thank them for looking out for the people who live in the area and are local to Austin. Overall this place has my recommendation. Keep doing what you do!

Huge selection of beer taps! They have misters outside, welcome dogs on their patios, and the staff is dope. Shout-out to Dayton for being a dope bartender. Can't recommend this place enough, worth a try (:

That place is the best! The staff and patrons are very friendly, and one quickly finds a home around and under an amazing shade tree. Say hi for me when you're there!

Stopped in for a drink. Margarita was good. Lots of atmosphere. No food.

Draft beer is cold. Music is good. It was slow Memorial Day in the afternoon. Got nachos from next door (One Taco) and enjoyed a few beers. Really need a "watch your step" sign, being new to the area, my hubby almost fell when he missed that step :/ This was at LW on Burnet.

I was asked for my ID at a table in a rude way. When I told him I was not okay with how he asked me he insisted he asked the same way to anyone he does not know. He said if I have a problem with it I can leave. He mentioned more than once I can leave. I am a darker skinned Hispanic woman. He looked like a younger than 30 white male. I felt he was being discriminatory, rude, and disrespectful. I lived in Austin between 2014-2016 and never had worst service in Austin.

I love Little Woodrow’s, but this is the worst location. They are so extremely rude, we quickly took our business elsewhere.

Do not do the 50 beer challenge. It's a scam. They don't give you a t-shirt because they say they're all out. Months go by with no shirt. You can put your name on the wall after they give you a block of wood to take home to apply your name yourself. Oh wait. They're all out of those to. I endured the grosses beers to get a t-shirt. SCAM Don't do it. Shame on Little Woodrows for even advertising it.

I've been to this bar several times and the staff here is great. Have had great service from Deyton and Breck and all the staff each time. One of the best places with a neighborhood sport bar feel you can find in Austin. Also arguably the best Woodrow's in town. Great for game day or just for a relaxing night with friends. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

Service and ambiance are good. Food can be brought from many of the walking distance restaurants. Parking could be better.

I really like this open style bar. Inside meets outside meets inside :) Tons of TVs everywhere, so it's a great place to watch the World Series or a fight or whatever else is going on. Bartenders are great!

Little Woodrow's is a sports local bar in Austin with plenty of TVs to watch the games. At this location they had TV dedicated to music videos and was playing music throughout the bar instead of audio for the sports games. They do make excellent drinks but they don't have a food menu. There is a food truck available for pizza and wings to order though.

This is my favorite neighborhood bar. The bartenders are amazing and the drink deals are even better. This place has become a staple with my friend group! Also the trivia is sooo fun!

Love this place. It has great vibes. Mostly locals and lots of local beers, but I think I found a typo....

It's a solid little neighborhood bar. Definitely not to be compared to their location on 6th street, this is much more a neighborhood bar atmosphere with an after work crowd and sports game crowd. No food served but outside food is allowed. Dog friendly as well. Smaller location but always has events like trivia for those that are into that.

Not the friendliest staff members. Could've definitely enjoyed a more local vibe somewhere else with friendlier staff members

Little Woodrow's is a happy place. This is not a place for a solitary loner to come and sulk. People come here by the 4's, 6's and 8's. The tables are all packed with circles of friends all enjoying each other's company and having the time of their lives. Happily plowed females fall off their chairs and carry on laughing over the jokes that knocked them off their seat in the first place. There are a million TVs showing all sorts of sports events. Most people are having too much fun to be paying much attention. If you have seven fantastic friends and this is where you want to go, then at Little Woodrow's, you are made in the shade. * * * As an actual bar, Little Woodrow's is nothing special. The place is small and parking is limited. The liquor line-up is heavy on Texas Whiskeys, Texas Gins and Texas Vodkas. Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. If Davy Crockett and the Defenders of the Alamo had known what abominations would be served under the rubric of Texas Liquor, They would have intentionally turned the mission over to the Mexicans. Better that the Mexicans take the blame for Nine-Banded Whiskey and its ilk. Most of the crowd is drinking beer. In this case, you want to follow the crowd. Get yourself a couple of steins or a pitcher of suds and you'll be okay. * * * Note that Little Woodrow's improves on nights where the weather is nice enough to warrant sitting on the patio. Their patio is pretty cool. Inside space is limited. Some of the seats are near the ladies' room which can smell. * * * But with good friends, a nice patio seat, and a willingness to drink whatever beer they got, you could be in for happy times. If you who want to sit and ponder the exact nature of the contents of your glass without being disturbed by the human race, Then go to a place with better bartenders and a better line-up of bottles. If your friends are always going to be more reliable than your beer, then where you do your drinking really doesn't matter. In this case, Little Woodrow's will be fine.

Hi. First of all I'd like to begin by saying that I absolutely HATE leaving bad reviews. That said, tonight one of my really good friends was refused service at your location. She was wearing her mask and following all covid rules. It takes ALOT for any of us to go out to a bar nowadays, because of the state that the world is in. She was refused service from one of the waitresses without reason or rhyme. This is confusing, demoralizing, and extremely rude. Another server was sent to her table and when she asked why, the only response that was given was, "she remembered her"? We have never been here, never been to this location. We are VERY disappointed and at a loss for words. I regret to inform you that we will NEVER be coming back here again. Some advice: PLEASE CONTINUE TO BE KIND TO OTHERS.

Not really dog friendly. We are a 5 minute walk from here. Basically our good bar we've been going to since it opened. Dayton (behind the bar) is awesome. It has been dog friendly throughout the years of our retrievers who passed recently. Unfortunately the day time server today is not dog friendly. We brought our new puppies, one of which was barking occasionally. Within 5 minutes and with no customer complaints she asked us to leave. She also seemed really put out that we asked for a bowl for dog water. So I would not call this location dog friendly. Unfortunately we will be taking our business elsewhere... which sucks because we've been going weekly since this location opened.

Well I've been to this bar's Trivia night twice and twice they have had the wrong answers and not accepted the right ones...like actually they literally said "we don't care we didn't write them"...lol. I literally live two doors down and refuse to go

The bartenders were the rudest I've ever met. Been to plenty of bars and the bartenders swore that my friends and I were underage using fake ids even though we were from out of state.

One star for a super nice waitress who was working really hard between tons of tables. There are no prices on any of the drinks. The waitress - once again, super nice - came over and told me from memory al the prices for all the beers. They're not particularly cheap either. An Electric Jellyfish was $7.25 before tax. Compare that to $6 at Workhorse after tax. And almost all the drinks are served in plastic cups. Yuck. It's cute outside but super duper loud inside. At first glance, it seems like a nice place to watch "the game" but on second thought its basically impossible to talk to other folks at your table... makes game-watching unpleasant. And the food is really not nice. I'm not sure what kind of health code rule they're following, but they don't adhere to practices of sustainability by any stretch. My buddy got a salad, which was served boxed in a plastic container, with plastic cutlery, and without any plate. And when I asked for water this other member of the waitstaff looked at me like I was crazy, pointed at the water station near the door. Unpleasant. Not worth time or money.

It's an okay place. Limited seating. Prices are no better than better places. No food or bar snacks. Horrible parking.... almost want to say non-existent parking. There is one tiny lot and then they have signs posted to please be respectful of their neighbors and the neighborhood and do not park on the street or in other businesses parking lots. It's just not worth the trouble.

Hockey, hockey, hockey! There's Lavaca downtown and this place that has NHL. Both have good service and food as well. This place has awesome pizza and subs (or hoagies, whatever) from Brooklyn Pizza next door. You can just open two doors, order and wait for the good folks at Brooklyn to bring your food to you. I don't know. Just the fact that they have the NHL package is good enough for me. I dig it.

Small location, but lots of TV, cheap drinks, convenient for north Austin, and dog friendly!

Rude management during visit & no one covering door for COVID so beware coming here Bartenders were nice and helpful though

We stopped by Little Woodrow's on Burnet on a Sunday a little too eager maybe because they hadn't even opened, but we came back and sat at the bar window. The beer selection was amazing, and had a few really unique things I don't ever see anywhere else! They have a full bar as well and had sangria on tap the day we went! This location didn't have their own kitchen, but did have a smell menu from the pizzeria next door. The bartenders were all super friendly and their bathrooms were extremely clean (both very important, people)! The patio is both dog and cat friendly!! There was a beautiful hairless cat on a leash there with her own blanket and whole setup and not one person minded, not even our dog! Cool spot along Burnet to watch sports...or just watch people!

Went here to watch a football game. Had $3 draft beers, outdoor seating with heating lamps, plenty of large TV screens and clean bathrooms. Dog friendly and the bartender was nice. Not too crowded on a Sunday early evening.

This is a cool place to grab a beer after work! There is a pizza joint next door that is pretty good. They have a nice window that opens up to the outside so you can directly access the bar. Plenty of TV's and other things to do. Prices are pretty good. This is my new Friday watering hole!

Great location but ALL of the waitresses had an attitude. Dog hair EVERYWHERE. They didn't clean the tables once you were seated. All around below average place that is dirty.

One of the worst bars I've ever been to. Bouncer at the front was rude af. All drinks served in plastic cups. They don't even serve food here. Just sad. Go somewhere else.

Nice little neighborhood bar that is mostly outdoors. It was just a short walk from my friend's house. Staff was very friendly, quick on service and the drinks were not expensive. It was a nice way to enjoy a drink while watching an Austin sunset.

This is my neighborhood bar. It's got a good amount of space outside as well as inside. You can order food at Brooklyn Pie Co. next door and they'll bring it over to you which is a huge plus since you can't drink at Brooklyn Pie Co. They've got a great selection of beers on tap and in bottles/cans, and good beer prices for happy hour ($5 Dos Equis big mug is what I usually get.)

I guess if you live close by and/or want to bring your dog with you. There are plenty of other bars in the area that are pretty similar in price and type. Came to meet friends for a birthday, they are regulars and like to hang out here. I was ordering bottled beer and had a horrible time getting the bartender to stop talking to her regulars to get her attention. I had to ask the bar back to get bartender for me after standing around for a couple of minutes. For me, it was ok at best, nothing special worth going out of the way for.

So not only are the bartenders working at the moment (12/1/2019) very rude,. "Danny, Danielle" the tall brunette young lady, can not only listen, but likes to speak to customers like children. So all in all don't expect much from the service, or attitude I'm afraid the two bartenders have a combined iq of a baked potato. Specially after reading the other reviews i stand firm behind everything stated above the bartenders are AWFUL.

Capsule review: if expensive beer, clueless service, and a stunningly obnoxious array of big-screen TVs are your thing, Little Woodrow's might just be the place for you. Full review below. In life, one should generally learn to just avoid places one will almost certainly dislike. It saves everyone time, tears, and dollars. As a general rule, I find sports bars kinda douchey, and so it was never likely that I was going to fall in love with Little Woodrow's, but even by the standards of the genre, the place sucks a little. Wrote Little Woodrow's down as part of a Burnet mini-crawl (Pinthouse, Billy's, Little Woodrow's, Ginny's), and it easily comes in dead last out of the four. The beer selection is limited but still pretty good, but you'd have to know that in advance, because the peroxide blond behind the bar who didn't look old enough to buy beer let alone sell it knew absolutely nothing about any of the selections. Yes, it's nice to offer samples, and I don't demand that all of my bartenders be raging alcoholics (although most oblige), but when you are charged $6.25 a pint, it is reasonable to expect a little product knowledge. Atmosphere is predictably frattastic, with minor saving graces of a jukebox, a vintage Ms. Pacman, and dogs. Giant TV's are piled atop one another on every sight line, so you're watching a ballgame whether you want to or not. Also, given the generally inadequate seating, you'll likely end up sitting at the Ms. Pacman table irrespective of your desire to play Ms. Pacman. Also: DO NOT PARK IN ANY OF THE ADJACENT LOTS. My friend got the most expensive bar tab ever for a lousy bar with the addition of $200 to get her car back. This is not a specific point against Little Woodrow's, other than to mention that the parking lot is inadequate, but simply a word to the wise. A sign in the bar would, nevertheless, be hugely appreciated. So, nothing cringe-inducing or health-code-violating or otherwise openly terrible, but given how likeable nearby places are, I can't see any reason ever to come back here. Pinthouse Pizza is a better place (if one is inclined) to see a game, Billy's is a better place to get a beer and a bite, and Ginny's is a better place to listen to music. So why bother?

Both bartenders (blonde and one with braids) rude. Can go to McDonald's for better service and that says a lot.

This is my neighborhood bar. I've met my best friends in Austin here. Great bartenders who care about getting to know the people that come into their bar. If you post a bad review it's probably because you were too drunk to served. Come here to meet good people and enjoy a great sports bar!

Little Woodrow's is a nice little sports bar, but is nothing groundbreaking or special. Plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor with a good number of TVs to catch a game. They have a wide variety of drinks readily available. I came to grab a drink with a friend since I was in town and this was quick and easy. It was particularly slow the day I went to visit as there was only one bartender, but she was nice and helpful.

Great location if you can find a parking spot. I be the locals that live near are thrilled about this place. you can park at the European Spa after 6pm. The inside/outside bar is great this time of year.

This place is AWFUL!! The service was RUDE AND TERRIBLE. My family decided to go here for a drink after dinner to celebrate my sister and I graduating college. Our mother went to order our drinks from the bar for my sister her and I and the bartender asked to see me, my sister, and my brothers IDs, which is understandable. My brother who is 24 realized he had a license that was expired by one month but did not know. The bartender then proceeded to kick him off the premises acting like he was underage (like he was a 17 year old sneaking in when with his facial hair and all can very tell he is a 24 year old . My mom asked if my brother could stay and not have anything to drink but sit with us as we were celebrating. The bartender obnoxiously stated that he could not and could not be on the premise at all with it. Can not believe the incredibly inconsiderate and bluntly rude behaviors and actions of the bartenders.

Good place. Went to a good wrestling match here a few years ago. Staff is nice and courteous.

Lauren is amazing as a bartender. She knows what we drink and suggests brews for us. She makes this a bar to visit. Stop posting photos of food....it's from the pizza place next door. It's not note worthy....

This is truly a sports bar, and like most sports bar there isn't much to report except service, programing, and cleanliness. The prices are decent, but there are days that are better than others. The waitstaff is nice and attentive without being overbearing. The first time I went, I will admit that I felt a little ignored. Yet, whenever something was really wanted, they pay attention and take your order. As a fan of actual sports, this is sort of nice because I don't always want to be interrupted during a game and my goal isn't to get sloshed. It allows for a person to pace themselves. I have never seen a table with empty glasses or beer slime on it that was unattended for longer than a second. The bathrooms are also very clean. This actually really does amaze me since they are always so busy. The bar-back is always doing something. Whether he's restocking with fresh glasses or whatever, he's like a silent partner supporting the other staff with awesomeness. The locals are really friendly, and I've had some great conversations. The crowd is pretty diverse too, and the bartenders try to appease all of the different sport preferences. There was only one day when I came in and asked to watch the Yankees game, and the bartender didn't want to change the channels. It was a Houston Texans game though, the bar was packed, and there was only one television not showing that game. I could have pointed it out to her, because no one was watching the soccer game on the screen. Yet, didn't. If I did I think she probably would have changed the channel as they are usually very accommodating. If you are a UT, Dallas Cowboys, or Houston Texans fan, this is definitely the place to go. In fact, I am now a UT fan also due to the energy of the place and the vibe during such events. They also allow a person to order food for delivery at the bar. Ask your bartender (who may also be the manager) for recommendations. She seems very concerned about everyone receiving the best service possible.

I think I was hesitant on giving it four stars because of the parking. It is difficult finding parking at this Little Woodrow's. This is where the River Plate Texas people hang out and this is how I was introduced to this location. I hung out with River Plate Texas for two games during the World Cup. The service at the bar was efficient and friendly. Also the cool thing is you can bring in food from Brooklyn Pie Co. (by the way, I do recommend their Fried Raviolis). Little Woodrows is a good place to watch a game because there are big screen TVs everywhere.

I'm not a huge fan of this location. I have been to the location off Parmer and actually like that one but this one is just alright! Driving by it looks like a cool neighborhood bar with a nice patio with a lot of outdoor seating. However the few times I have been here service has been pretty bad. The bartenders never really seem to know how to make any drinks or have any experience working at a bar. I asked the girl bartending if she could make me a dirty vodka martini and she flat out said she wasn't good at making them. Which in my opinion is a fairly easy drink to make. The drinks are over priced I always seem disappointed leaving this place, which is sad because this place seems to have the potential to do well. Just a few changes including new bar staff maybe some drink specials could help this place be more pleasurable!!!

Great place. Flat beer. Needs a better co2 system. They make good beers taste mediocre.

It was a nice balmy evening out so I thought I'd sit outside at Little Woodrow's on Burnet. I come here occasionally since it's close to my house and typically a chill crowd. Midway into my first cocktail the audio is changed from some 70's classic rock to the Daytona 500 BLASTING over the audio system. I endured and went to close out my tab when some more great music started again so I ordered another drink. I go to sit down and a staff member turns on WWF Raw and starts screaming in a banshee sort of way. I NEVER write reviews, but this evening I had to give in and update their reviews since this experience was not what I know of this place. So if you like NASCAR and WWF Raw this place is for you. As for me, not my cup of tea!

My go to place to watch the Longhorns when they are playing on a channel I can't get at home. Lots of outdoor seating under a large tree for shade. Multiple TV's make it so there's no bad seat inside or out. Prices for beers are good and there is Brooklyn Pie company next door that will deliver food right to your table. There is no better place to catch the game on Saturday or Sunday.

Meh. Not terrible, not great. I am pretty much going to reiterate what others have said. The parking situation is absolutely abysmal and will be a big factor in my decision to not frequent this location often. The parking lot itself is tiny and hard to maunver if you drive anything bigger than a smart car (okay maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration). The neighborhood parking is mostly permit parking so keep that in mind. The bartenders were nice enough, though I can't speak to their drink making capabilities since I just ordered beer. I did enjoy the inside/outside set up, but I can see how it could feel cramped really quickly. To sum it up: Be prepared for a nice leisurely circle around the neighborhood in search of a parking spot-but if you do find one take advantage and go enjoy a not too shabby place for a beer!

Came here for after dinner drinks. Watched a baseball game and had a few drinks. Did not eat here so don't know anything about their food. Male bar tender was super friendly and answered any questions I had. The beer was good and had a variety of local on tap. Friend ordered a margarita on the rocks. Would not recommend this. Syrup and not fresh. Other than that no complaints. Patio was nice to sit outside. Will return

I feel my opinion is very biased, but I'd be lying if I said Little Woodrow's on Burnet wasn't one of my favorite bars in Austin. I've been going there for years and briefly lived down the street from them where I enjoyed the luxury of being able to walk there to and from my apartment. Generally speaking It's a quiet no thrills kind of place. Sometimes a Friday night can get a little crowded, but it's usually not a big deal. Just a great little neighborhood bar. It wouldn't be the first place I take someone from out of town, but I always find myself coming back. If you're looking for a place in central Austin to just relax with some with beers, friends, and watch sports then I would recommend Little Woodrow's on Burnet.

I can't say anything about the food because I didn't try any but the beer selection is nice and so is the atmosphere. Very dog friendly. Parking is almost non-existent like everywhere else in Austin and frankly I'm just tired of it and annoyed with it.

My girlfriend and I stopped in on Sunday afternoon to grab a beer and some lunch. Sat down at a table and waited to be acknowledged, yet no one working in this establishment seemed to care. Observed bartender texting and checking phone, while we waited longer. Bartender then puts on hand sanitizer and continues to talk to the people at the bar. Bartender finally looks over and brings to menus. I stated that I appreciated her finally acknowledging us. She tells me, "technically there's no table service on Sunday". At this point I look at her and explain we wanted to grab lunch, but can certainly go somewhere else. She then tells me that there's a pizza place next door. OK owners, please listen : the reason your bars abs restaurants are empty is because you choose to employ people who have no desire to grow your business and frankly shouldn't be in the service industry. For the record, we left and went to Black Star Co Op, where we spent $52.00. If you turn away just one couple a day, that's a loss of $18,000 a year. So in terms of where to go, do yourself a favor, save your time, money and energy, and go to one of thousand other restaurants in Austin, as this place doesn't "get it". And by the way, if you "technically don't have table service on Sunday, please don't technically expect my $$$.

Ok beer list but hate that the only food is pizza from next door. I also hate that I have to give up my seat to go order. If I stop by alone it's awkward to leave my space and try to come back. Tried to watch football here and even though TVs were labeled they continued to mess with the TVs for quite a while after kick off. There's also a group of regulars who block a couple of tables and basically all bar seats but then stand in other places complaint VERY loudly when someone leans over their empty chair to buy a beer. (I had a seat but saw this happen multiple times)

A standard small sports bar, with a killer outdoor tree shaded patio that is dog friendly. Bonus, they have a decent pizza place connected that will walk your order out to you. It was actually decent weather, and everyone was taking advantage of the sun break to get outside, so the patio was packed. I liked that the bar opens up to provide an indoor/outdoor experience as well, so even if you get stuck with a seat inside, you can somewhat pretend you are outdoors. The bar itself is pretty small for the space. I liked that they had East Austin Cider on tap. They also have free wifi, and the password is on the chalkboard by the bar. Parking is limited, so I found a spot in the neighborhood and walked a bit.

Smoke is horrible! I live a few blocks from here in Allandale and I was what seemed like one of the few in our neighborhood who was really looking forward to this bar opening. I am a fan of the downtown Woodrow's and having a cool, casual place nearby to walk to, meet up with friends and have a beer sounded like a great idea. Not all my neighbors had this outlook and I defended Little Woodrow's in advance of opening to those that told me drunks would be careening through the neighborhood running down children every day. All my eager expectations were crushed. For some reason this place attracts people that that have the disgusting filthy habit of smoking, and it attracts a lot of them. Approaching the front door you can see the cloud of smoke floating over the patio and you can smell the gagging stench as you approach the door. The worst part is that the bar is designed with garage doors to bring the outdoors in, normally a great design but in this case it brings in all the carcinogenic smoke for you to inhale while you have a beer and try to have a bite to eat. You simply cannot escape it anywhere. I do have to point out that the service was great, no issues with the staff at all but feel bad for them to have to work in such an unhealthy environment. I hope the management reads these reviews and if so I plead with you: If you will not take a stand and ban smoking altogether at your establishment (and you should, it's healthier for all your employees and patrons), then at least create an environment where the smokers and smoke are contained and controlled so as not to offend everyone there. Until then I will be going to nearby places where I can actually breathe like Pinthouse Pizza, Ginny's Little Longhorn or hopefully the soon-to-be-opened Taco Flats up the street. Fortunately Burnet Road has been adding a lot of new dining and drinking establishments so there are plenty of choices for healthier and more pleasant environments.
