The Water Tank

This place has almost become a second home for many of the regulars. Great atmosphere, and even better bartenders! Also a plus that the drinks are cheap, and even cheaper during their happy hour that usually lasts to 6! Most week days even have deals on the meals + paired with the food trucks. The place is also huge-with basically three bar fronts (one outside), two game rooms, a community area, a massive outside, two stages, and even a dog park. This all topped with the manager Kayla always finding ways to get the community together and having a blast! (Photos were taken in the afternoon during a lul, as I didn't want anyone in the pics)

Sweet dive bar with pretty good karaoke. Most patrons are supportive and they have some decent drinks. Came with a lot of friends and had a lot of fun

I had the nachos delivered, but I asked for the chicken to be on the side and I was extremely impressed by not only the amount of food but just extremely delicious and perfect. Chicken has an amazing taste and I loved everything that came with it. I would’ve taken pictures, but I before I had a chance.

I absolutely love this venue! While you can sit inside, you HAVE to go outside to the back of the bar. The picnic tables fit groups, and the bar gives great service. They have a menu with great choices. So there is no need to eat before coming here. I will note that the appetizers are huge!  While appetizers are intended for groups, these filled our group up. That is definitely not a complaint! Something else I really like is that they have 3 different cider offerings here. That was really nice to discover! A great plus is that sometimes you will be entertained with live music at the stage in the back. The Water Tank is a terrific bar!

One of my favorite bars in Austin. Great prices, bartenders, atmosphere, and food

I’ve tried to stop by this place twice now. The outside bartenders just straight up ignore you if you aren’t a regular. Also both times I’ve gone they hold 30 dollars for 1 beer. ($7.00 for a draft in a cheap plastic cup) I thought maybe it was a mistake the first time I went when the bartender did that to me, but when I stopped in again, the second time they hold $30 if you just purchase one drink. They say they return it two days later, but now I have to waste time trying to make sure they return the money. Very weird. Because of this, I have to give them a bad review.

Very Cool if you like Karaoke.

Didn’t try the food but it smelled phenomenal. The Water Tank is everything you could want from a dive bar plus a dog park. I have no doubt I’ll be back again soon.
