“2026 Update: Draught House Pub & Brewery is a warm English pub with a massive draught beer selection. The pub officially opened on June 30, 1969, with eighteen beer towers and quickly became a popular destination for draught beer over the next 25 years. In 1995, the establishment was renamed Draught Horse under new ownership. A 7-barrel brewing system was introduced, and the number of taps expanded to 74. Josh Wilson, formerly of Bitter End Brewery, took over brewing operations. By 1999, ownership changed again, and the original Draught House name was restored. Now, Josh Wilson continues to operate the pub, brewing hundreds of barrels of beer annually and curating guest taps. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. Draught House Pub & Brewery allows outside food and has outdoor seating. Bar games are also conducted.”

THE BLIND PIG PUB REVIEWS

The food here was awesome. I had a sandwich. The hamburger was melt in your mouth good. The fries were fresh and very salty. Highly recommended. The drinks were very cold and the bartender kept them coming.

Wanted to drop by due to the rooftop but stayed downstairs for a bit because Clay the Bartender was super awesome! Most welcoming bartender we’ve encountered.

Fun place to hang out on 6th street. They usually have bands playing song requests. Nice patio and no cover fee.

DRAUGHT HOUSE PUB & BREWERY REVIEWS

It's a rare classic Austin institution preserved in amber, for good and ill. The beer is not the best, but I appreciate that they lean hard in whatever direction they take it. The rye sour is... interesting. The barley wine is legit excellent. The variants of light bitters are all pretty good, and most of all, assertive. And the food truck is solid. Good people, good beer, always energetic and a fun crowd.

Absolutely spectacular place, good food, great drinks, and wonderful vibes. Went on St. Patrick's day and it was super crowded but can't wait to go back on a more chill day.

Amazing place amazing atmosphere Adan is absolutely amazing just tell him what you like and he can pour you anything that will make you absolutely amazed.

B.D. RILEY'S IRISH PUB REVIEWS

First and foremost if you are a Liverpool FC fan visiting Austin, you have to visit. It's a home away from home. The Austin LFC supporters club is based here. Ask for Steve, the president, he's a top man! The pub is situated in a nice district of the city. The pub garden is perfect. The service was top notch. The staff checked on us regularly for refills. The fish and chips (dinner menu serving) was delicious. Well done to all!

Went a couple of times, the burger was pretty good, but the brunch omelette was underwhelming, of course it's one of the few places to go watch some English Premier League football (soccer) matches, drinks are good and very reasonably priced, they are open very early if there is a game on. Everyone working there is very friendly.

Came here to watch the Liverpool game at 9 am. We got here about 30 minutes early and there was plenty of seating. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The food was 12/10. I would recommend the Irish coffee.
