"One of the more upscale picks for family dining, the Four Points-area gastropub (with a second location in South Austin) serves up entrees, including pork and spaetzle, steaks, and classic-style burgers. There’s also a large appetizer list and $10 kid meals like cheeseburgers or pasta with butter and cheese. Oasthouse’s patio overlooks a large playscape in the Four Points shopping center, inviting families to stay awhile, but ordering to-go is an option, too." - Erin Russell
"For a more casual, breezy dining and drinking experience, head to either location of this New American restaurant, which hosts at its bar and patio areas. The South Austin outpost includes carnitas poutine and fried cheese curds, while the Northern locale offers vanilla chai Old Fashioneds, margaritas, and spritzes; alongside half-off bottles of wines, tapped wine discounts, and dollar-off beers. It’s only available in the bar and patio areas. Happy hour is held from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Both locations of the New American pub — this one in far northwest Austin and the other down in far South Austin — will be offering corn beef cabbage as a food special. The cured-braised corned beef dish comes with grilled red cabbage, a potato-leek puree, and carrot slaw. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The far North Austin gastropub with a second location down in South Austin serves a variety of pub fare, including several German stalwarts. This means fish and chips, where the Alaskan cod filets are dipped in a beer batter and lightly fried. It’s served with a zesty citrus tartar sauce, crispy fries, and mushy peas (served cold). The individual spray bottle of malt vinegar is a nice touch. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Sarah Thurmond
"The far South Austin location of the gastropub restaurant has a private dining room (with a fireplace!) that seats up to 32 people. Enjoy gastropub fare from chef Amir Hajimaleki like poutine, burgers, deviled eggs, and more." - Erin Russell
