You should drop by here for the experience for sure! It’s even better if you are dressed up. One of the most unique places I’ve ever been!! Definitely recommend it.

The second you ring the bell to enter you are immediately transported into another realm. A gorgeous venue with even more amazing people! We felt so safe with how seriously they take safety and respect of others here. It was our first time being here buy we were welcomed with open arms instantly. Highlight was the use of coins at the bar and live music! If you've been wanting to come and haven't you need to get here ASAP it surely will not disappoint. Everyone is welcomed here <3

Such a fun atmosphere! A fabulous place to leave the stressful world behind, and have some roll playing fun. My husband and I visited their open house in Jan 2024. We enjoyed it so much, that we are putting together our costumes to return and become members (not necessary, but is a great deal). Whether you are into DnD, Pirates, Larping, or just having a tasty beverage (highly recommend the Hot Toddy) and chatting with friends, I highly recommend the Tiny Minotaur Tavern. We'll definitely be back!

My friends and I went to this tavern after seeing an ad on Instagram, and we were not disappointed. The ambience was beautiful and immersive, and I honestly wish I had dressed up in fantasy clothes for the occasion. There is a $15 cover fee for non-members, but for a night out with friends, I was not upset about it. I had their ube-soda and it was delicious and refreshing.

What an amazing place to make new friends. Excellent drinks, including lots of great non-alcoholic choices. Atmosphere is comfy and cozy, everyone that works there is amazing, and Oakda is so, so lovely. I can't wait to visit again :) 💜

This place is amazing! The staff is all in character and are a delight to interact with. I love that they require costumes on Saturdays. If you love renaissance festivals or have ever wanted to go to one, go here! Having to exchange debit or credit for “coin” for drinks and food is a nice touch! I definitely want to check out their live music on Fridays. Great place to play board games or TTRPGs. They also have LARPs. Please note at the time of the review it is all outside so keep that in mind before coming. Check out this private club, you won’t regret it!

A beautifully created and designed space that is equally welcoming and immersive. Relaxed atmosphere, full of your favorite nerds just hanging out! And the drinks are deeeeelicious. Come in costume! Or don’t! It doesn’t matter! Just don’t be a jerk! 10/10 will visit again. I’m looking forward to their fall/winter day markets!

This place is amazing. Vibe is on. Drinks are delicious and unique. Don't go if you can't play along and for God's sake wear a costume.

I love this place soooo much!! After they opened the inside area it's so warm if it's chilly outside :) The theme of this place is incredible, super duper heart filled atmosphere with attention to detail. The vivations are delicious and it seems the membership is highly worth it even if one person in the party is a member. There's snackies too which is epic. I like that people dress up, I felt in place to also dress up (my favorite)

Are you ready to step into a world where everyone is caring, attentive and not looking at their phones? Are you worthy of an evening of magic? If so, consider yourself welcome at the Tiny Minotaur, a tavern that is so old school Austin that it transcends time and space. Trade your dollars for horns, peer into your future and let the fates decide! Only after many quests and challenges was I welcome at the Tiny Minotaurs gates, but I assure you, it was worth it. Support this magical space you slags! We're lucky to have it.
