Great place to grab a drink (or two)! There was a line, but the bartender moved everyone along quick. He took good care of his customers and even offered to open the door to get outside to the beer garden area. Will return!
I love coming to this place for wine, beer garden, coffee shop vibes. Bbq food truck and lots of picnic tables; dog & kid friendly! Fans and shade hitting the tables
Derek is the man, and made a couple of Chicagoans feel right at home. Great wine, even better people, go see Derrick.
We went on a BBQ tasting tour yesterday, and it's hard to talk about BBQ without also mentioning the symbiotic relationship with the Beer Garden on the same lot. This is the place. We looked for BBQ, but found "Saddle Up" to be one of the most welcoming places to sit and enjoy a beer or wine with friends. I enjoyed our chat with the owner, and the variety of beer and wine selection. One of our choices is the Froz'e (not sure how it is spelt, but Frozee / Frozey / Froze Ay). We ended up sitting in the garden for longer than we thought, just soaking up a gorgeous Saturday afternoon with friends and family. If you have people visiting from out of town, Saddle Up (and MickleThwait BBQ) exemplifies what Austin is all about. Friendly, Comfortable, beautiful, with great food and drinks. Can I just live here?
Fun combo of great bbq, beer, pastries, picnic tables, and music.
Next door to Micklethwait. The bartender was really friendly and they have a very interesting selection of Texan beers. The cookies we tried were also very tasty!
We came here while on a boys trip to Austin to grab a quick beer and enjoy the outdoor weather. They have plenty of space outdoors, and some very limited indoors, with a food truck serving up BBQ options and sides. I did think the overall beverage selection could be increased, but the options they did have were excellent. This is a great spot for large groups and we look forward to coming back!
