"Participated in April’s Eat for Impact initiative, offering plant-based menu items designed to help diners reduce their climate impact; the campaign will be evaluated in an end-of-month climate report." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Skyview brewpub succeeds by blending the old and the new. There’s a focus on traditional European beers like the schwarzbier (a dark lager) and the Czech pilsner, but that doesn’t mean you can’t order a hazy IPA or a barrel-aged sour instead. There’s also a welcoming beer hall setup, plus a small outdoor area. Expect Euro-pub fare like pretzels, bratwurst, and German-style pizza, paired with more American comforts like mac and cheese and smash burgers (all available to-go). Austin FC games are shown on the big screen here, and there is even axe throwing available." - Erin Russell
"On June 9, a Pride Month edition of its monthly drag brunch was shut down early after organizers received an email claiming a pipe bomb had been placed in the office and including the slur “fuck drag queen scum.” Police responded to 6015 Dillard Circle and, with an FBI liaison involved, searched the premises but found no explosive device; owners later said the incident is likely part of a recent wave of hoax threats affecting institutions nationwide. The business closed for safety, shared Venmo accounts to support affected performers, staff, and onsite vendors, and asked the community for additional attendance and financial help during the typically slow summer season. Leadership expressed gratitude for community support, insisted the venue will continue hosting Legendary Drag Brunch and other LGBTQIA events, and framed the space as a committed safe place in the face of targeted hate." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Brewtorium, the Central Austin brewery/restaurant, has an enormous indoor beer hall and two spacious beer gardens with picnic tables. They’re known for their German-style beers like pilsners, lagers, and Kölsch. There’s basic pub fare like burgers and reuben sandwiches, but then there’s also Flammkuchen and “Bratchos” (potato chips topped with crumbled bratwurst, beer cheese, curry pickled onions, and cilantro)." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
"The Skyview neighborhood brewpub’s “big ass salads” include giant bowls of mixed greens, fruits, cheeses, and sometimes grains and meats (the latter includes fried hot chicken or sliced brats). The Blues on the Greens is a sweet-and-savory texturally diverse one with sliced apples, pork lardons, candied pecans, and gorgonzola cheese crumbles. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
