Toomey Tap Room

I was in town recently for a wedding and had the pleasure of visiting Toomey Tap Room. The food was delivered quickly and was quite delicious. The grilled chicken sandwich was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The bun was light and fluffy and went well with the toppings. The beer had great taste and my wife loved her margarita. The fries were also quite good. A fun outdoor atmosphere.

Coworkers and I would come in here maybe once a week on our lunch break. Went in today and the bit is up. We would talk and laugh about the bad service and cold food. But this burger came out not on the bottom bun. Cool whatever. The joke at work is, “I never leave satisfied.” Bartender never said anything and maybe I should have because he charged me for it. Literally go anywhere else and save your money.

Great little patio to bring your furry friend to have some food and drinks. Friendly staff and tasty eats. Espresso vodka martini 🤤

Food is pretty good. Location is great. Servers aren’t very friendly or helpful but it’s nice to have the ability to order QR code from your table. Biggest complaint would be they market as a sports bar, but come here on a Sunday when the cowboys are playing and 1/2 TV’s are soccer and loud speaker is Soccer commentary. Asked them to change the game and that went nowhere. Maybe it’s just me, but Sundays are for AMERICAN football so play football if you’re a true sports bar.

I give it a 3.5 for now. I really liked the layout of the place. The outside patio is very nice, with plenty of TVs to watch the game or games. Good selection of beer and the chili cheese fries I had were good. The burger I had, was OK I got the Mexican one with queso, grilled poblano, tortillas chips..etc. The first burger I had was dressed way better with a good amount of cheese. But It had mayo on it which is not in the description, so I recorded and it came out very lackluster, barely any queso on it. FYI you can only get a burger well done (hate that!) which is an indicator of a frozen product. (The price point is cheap so not that bad.) Most of the menu was 86'd on an opening Sunday night football game featuring "Dem Boys". It was a crazy weekend of sports events in Austin so it was understandable. I'll be back to try the wings and dogs. The service was really good 👍 and the price point of the food will bring me back.

Toomey's is such a great place to go watch games. It is one of the only places in Austin with multiple tvs where we can watch a variety of games at the same time either inside or outside. The drinks are great and they are so affordable (under $10!) which is a rarity in Austin. The food is also really good for a Sports bar. Their cauliflower buffalo wings and their fries are amazing! It is so easy to go with a big group since everyone can order on different tabs through their phones. Would highly recommend!

Updated: Added 2 stars - to show some grace. Maybe it was just a bad night, or so slow and they could not justify being open. But reflecting back it was not a strong night of customer service. The bartender was either studying for a test or doing her homework as well. Never a good sign when the customer feels like an imposition and I was disappointed because I was feeling social and wanted to enjoy a few drinks out on a nice night. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure if this normal. Hours on door say open to midnight. Hours on Their Google page say open to midnight. The manager working tonight wants to get home and says they close at 11pm. Would not have bothered coming if I knew.

Great place to get some food and a drink for a great price. While the inside is good for the cold days, the patio is great for meeting friends on those more sunny days, and I can bring my dog! I recommend getting the chili cheese fries burger! SOOOOO GOOOOD! They also make the same queso that Kerbey Lane Cafe makes! AMAZING! This place is my new go to hangout spot.
