Paul CanterburyMarch 19, 2016Great roof top bar and very well groomed bar tenders who are also very good sports because they've created a (nearly) nude calendar to raise money for charity. Drink there, buy a calendar!
Ranu RajkarnikarAugust 11, 2016Great bar with a fun rooftop deck that often has live music. Friendly bartenders and games like giant Jenga to play with. Definitely worth a stop by!
Jeanise ChaplinApril 21, 2018They play hip hop in here and have games to play on the rooftop... including an adult see saw!
Rooftop bar that's covered in winter. Live DJ a few nights a week. Bar downstairs is indoors if you like it quieter.
I always seem to poke my head in here whenever I'm in town. Not paying a cover is nice. Even more so I like those Bareknuckles -- order two. You'll thank me.- If it's crowded you can usually find a seat on the coin-operated pony or in one of the toilet stalls downstairs.
BailieOctober 27, 2015Inside? Outside? It doesn't matter this place is awesome. Some of the best service, drinks, craft beer and music you can find.
Half Past NowMarch 11, 2013The upper deck is perfect for the Texas spring weather, and great people watching from the street. For more places to go check out halfpastnow.com
abigail.May 15, 2017Great rooftop area & great beer selection. There was also free BBQ when we were there and live music.
Great beer selection. And they may have made one of the best Dark n Stormy cocktails I've had in Austin.
I wang to hate this place but I just can’t. Fun vibes upstairs and downstairs. Always a good crowd. Are the guys gay? The mystery keeps me coming back
One of the most laid back bars of Austin. Take a can of beer upstairs and play some games. Staff = awesome here.
DevApril 17, 2014A go to when I'm in Austin. Love their upper deck and you can get little sticky mustache's for 50 cent!
Lenny RickoverOctober 20, 2015Very good, music choices could be better, fun spot in the end of the day and awesome deck
Katie BehrMay 6, 2013Cool bar and bartenders. Our guy made amazing cocktails and even made me like a mint julep which I previously despised.
Kyle BunchFebruary 24, 2013The rooftop bar is a perfect perch from where to enjoy a cold beer on a warm Austin afternoon.
Michael WilkinMarch 16, 2015Awesome drinks! Grab a cozy spot and enjoy the Moustache theme :) Found this place thanks to Supper: http://supper.mx/places/handle-bar-austin/
Daniel KilkennyAugust 8, 2016Really friendly atmosphere and cheap beer. Good dj set on the Sunday night we were there- Lenny RickoverNovember 27, 2015Good music. DJs late night rock. Overall nice place to hang out and meet new peeps.
Sofia PapastamelosJuly 20, 2015Great rooftop with affordable drinks. Love the games and playground elements.
seth meyerowitzApril 10, 2017Cool spot. Good drinks. Friendly service. Outdoor/upstairs patio is a nice touch- Clyde Kelly J.October 22, 2014Great rooftop bar, lots of options. And to make it weird, there is a seesaw. A seesaw!
Star SimpsonNovember 29, 20163 levels in this establishment // level one -- typical, trendy bar/ level two -- games/ level 3 -- rooftop bar
- Jeffrey HooverDecember 16, 2013Nice, if small selection of beers on tap. Fun up top. Where your handlebar proudly here
Meredith FApril 2, 2014My favorite rooftop bar...ever! Laugh at people trying to get that metal loop game as you ride the seesaw.
Love this bar. Bartenders are really knowledgable and nice!
Stephanie HughesJuly 17, 201216 taps with Left Hand Milk Stout, Mirror Pond IPA, Thirsty Goat Amber, Alaskan White Wheat, etc. etc. etc.
✅ Kit OliynykMarch 16, 2015If you're tired of endless SXSW parties and wanna pop a few cold ones old-school, this is the place.
Jeffrey JamesDecember 15, 2017Rooftop area is nice. The downstairs part smells of industrial cleaning products. Beer was okay.
You don't have to have a handlebar mustache to drink here, but it would be a lot cooler if you did.
After one visit, this is easily my favorite bar this side of 35.
