We were here visiting from California. Checking out the "California" of Texas. Well, I wouldn't go that far, but this pub rivals some of our California pubs. We enjoyed a beer tasting and lunch. Great atmostphere and we sat outside and watched people walk about.

I got the BELT. So so good. (I ate half the sandwich before I remembered to take a pic). I came with my husband, who got a burger and loved it too. The fries have a unique, excellent taste as well. We came for supper at 6:00 and the service was great and fast. Will be back earlier. (Happy hour ends at 6:00)

Pretty cool spot. Huge bar and seat yourself high tops for when it gets crowded. Tall ceiling with a ton of fans to fight that Texas heat. Worth a stop for a drink
Dana Lopez
Pretty great drinks, friendly staff and the food was pretty good.

Walked past this place 100 times before but finally decided to try it for lunch, turned out to be a great decision. The food (burgers & fries) was above average with plenty of creative toppings. Portion sizes are big so go there hungry or be prepared to take home left overs. The huge patio makes for a great place to eat or chill out. Keep in mind this place can get pretty busy so service can be slow at times.
James Wade
I have been here several times.. Love this place. The burgers are awesome and Sunday Brunch is just as good. The prices are great, the patio bar upstairs is perfect for great Austin weather. The atmosphere on weekend nights is fun! Check this place out for sure.

Was visiting Austin for Reggae Fest and before heading back to Houston we decided to stop and get a bite. Saw this place as one of Austin's best so we decided to check it out and we were definitely pleased with what we had.We got there before the fun of 6th st started so seating wasn't a problem.
I always stick with pretty much the same thing at restaurants that cant be messed up like tenders but this time i decided to get something different and was worried i would be disappointed but I opted to get the chicken fried chicken with garlic mash and it was delicious!! Nice and garlicky mash and well seasoned chicken, not too much but just right. A friend of mine had the fish and chips and it was really good also. Portion sizes are big so you get a bang for your buck. We had wings and spinach dip as appetizers which were good. Service was good, our waitress was very attentive and nice.
Definitely will return here next time i visit Austin!

Our waitress was the BEST, so kind and even sat with us once her tables had cleared. Shared her story and family pics. Was the best waiter we had over the 4 days. The upper deck on the corner is a great place to sit and view all the action on 6th street.
Allison Jane Ross
Heck yes! Such a great spot!
The burgers are amazing!
I had the chicken burger (I think it was called the Zilker) and it was truly terrific. The chipotle mayo with the avocado was a nice pair with the season, perfectly cooked chicken burger.
Friendly staff and atmosphere make this a great lunch spot!

The porch is great, the beer is cold. On two separate visits I tried the chicken fried steak then on the second visit I tried the Buffalo wings and the BBQ wings. Perhaps it's my regional pallet, no judgement; The food just wasn't for me. To their credit the waiter recognized it and the manager made it right. Not every place is this great at hospility.
Bryan Jackson
The atmosphere is very welcoming with a friendly staff. The service was prompt and accommodating to all that we needed. Its hard to find food that tastes as fresh and perfectly prepared as Old School's. Its a must try if you're new to Austin or looking for a great bite to eat!
Richard Darr
This was the best burger I can remember having. They were slammed busy with a conference in town, but still was seated and had my food delivered to me faster than anyone. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.
Pamela Pinson
Good food and great, friendly service. Play good music.
Dave Carpenter
Stopped in for a late lunch while walking 6th St...good burgers, good beer, good service...what more could you want?
Jaxon Estes
Been looking for a place to get a good chicken fried steak. And I just found my new spot!! The food was fantastic!! Becca if I'm spelling her name correctly was an awesome waitress!! Everyone was really nice!! And I definitely recommend it!!
Jennifer Schooley
Best Bloody Mary. Amazing food. We live 5 hours away, our first stop while out exploring and I have to say the best! Waiter was beyond awesome! Didn't catch his name.. (Glasses, dark hair, beard) ���� will most definitely be back and always recommend to anyone.
Alex Fowler
I was strolling down 6th st. and "Maddie" the hostess could not have been nicer, she was at the front door and I asked her a few questions about the area. She is a sweet girl about my daughter's age, and as she was helpful I wanted to tip her so I ordered a beer and fries.
It was then that this raging excuse of a crap attitude called "Molly" dropped my beer and told me she was the server and that other girl is 'just a hostess' and 'doesn't know what she is doing'.
Maddie was lovely.
Molly was a jerk.
The bottled beer was delicious.
The fries were as nasty and over salted as Molly's behaviour!
Shaila Mdog
Been to the Races at Austin three times, eaten here twice, had great food and beer both times, friendly service and all at a reasonable price.
Maryann Ranahan Bigwood
Absolutely the best food I have ever had. I would recommend the Mac and cheese wedge.
Darlene Castro Bracamontez
love this place. food is good and our waiter Jason was awesome. we will be back
Stephanie Lara
The service was great and friendly! The drinks were some of the best we'd had on 6th that night! I loved the upstairs games and the patio/balcony. I cannot wait to go back!
Paul Gregory Richard
The service was slow yet very pleasant. The French Fries came out at room temperature. I would call the chicken fried steak subpar at best. The one thing I loved was the deck view of 6th...
Kathy Carter
Fast service, great food and our waitress Lauren was awesome. William's burger was excellent and they even have good hummus. Will definitely go again.
Damon Ross
Thrillist was wrong, fried steaks dryness was hidden in smothered gravy and wings were tough. Service was par for dirty 6 but wouldn't go back for food.
Tom Honea
Great food, great drinks, friendly staff. This was our first visit to 6th Street and we couldn't have picked a better place to go to. Thanks OSBG!
Claire Hollis Bower
There was hair in my appetizer, was still charged for it, waited 20 minutes at our table for someone to acknowledge us and take out drink order, and all three of our burger bread was so burnt it was all we could taste. The dessert was good.
Debra DelCastillo
Wonderful chicken fried steak. Great service. A little loud but still had a wonderful experience.
Jeffrey Watson
Not a bad place. Good food. Service was good. Nothing special.
Beki Flanagan
Great food and great service. Some of the best chicken fried steak we have had on our trip!
Sydney Matlock
Saturday night's (1/28) DJ was amazing, he kept us there long past the point we'd usually move to another bar.
Louis Vroomen
The food was good. I like the atmosphere but our server was not friendly.
Ang Dunlap Art
My husband and I were just there over the weekend, the drinks were great, and they make the best Buffalo chicken wrap I ever had! Super friendly staff and a fun place to hang out. We'll definitely be back.
Maressa Cobb
Had a great NYE party and super LixBox band wow!
Missed seeing the ball being raised but entertainment was off the chain
Kara Smith
My kids and I love this place!! Great place to eat and relax and enjoy the Austin scene.
Jerry Wood
Amazing burgers, juicy, and topped with various extras. I had the Texas Two Thep and my friends had the buffalo bleu burger.
Melissa Olivares
Love this place! Amazing pumpkin spice martinis and delicious food. Friendly staff and quick service. It is also very nicely decorated inside, great atmosphere.
Lisa Davis
Amazing food! And great service! We will definitely be making the drive to come back.
Dorothy Loll
Great food and service. Also not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. Will come back here
Susan Allison Muston

Michelle Fillers
Food was wonderful!!! Great American style food for a reasonable price!
Christopher Martinez

AJ
Has taken a while to write this up - visited in March 2017.<br/>Headed downtown just after noon and decided to drop in and have a bite and something to drink as there wasn't too much happening that early. At this time of day the place was quiet with just a few diners. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we had no trouble finding plenty of good choices on the menu. The artichoke dip was excellent and I chose the the Old School Club - man was that a huge serve ! Apart from the size of the meal, everything was so fresh & tasty & there were so many fries I seriously couldn't finish it off.<br/>I love my beer and the choices were broad - my wife had a cocktail which was oversized and expertly made. <br/>Love the place and we will be back !
Resa Rukkus
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD. We were only approached to order our food and to pay for our meal. I'm am still in shock and cannot believe the lack of service we received. I didn't even get to order anything to drink! The food was was also really lacking in flavor. I would not recommend this place nor will I be returning.
Lucinda Harris
Before you go to Old School know that it is pub food. Pub food isn't known for it's advantageous nature or experimental taste. That being said, this place is good pub food. They have great battered fries that are fried to golden, crispy perfection. The price is right for 6th street and the service is attentive. Sit on the patio upstairs and people watch on 6th for dinner and a show.
Seymour Smith
Great burger. Great patio. Great service. Your only choice on 6th Street for great food. Cool music as well! Also check out there 40z Cowboy Beer Boots!!

When I travel to a new city for work or a vacation, I frequently scout out restaurants ahead of time and try to hit as many highly rated places as I can. Occasionally I like walking around and just stopping somewhere in the area that I am visiting and this is how I stumbled upon Old School Bar and Grill. Some friends and I decided to have dinner together and thought we would just walk to 6th Street and find somewhere to eat. After checking out a few places, we finally deciding to try this restaurant.
Livin The Good Life
I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The burgers were big patties that were very juicy. I really liked the Zilker Park burger, which was topped with guacamole, bacon, mayo, and Pepper Jack. They only have one dessert, creme brûlée, but it is fantastic.
Bethzamorski
Great food, great service. This is the first place we tried on our trip to Austin since it was very near our hotel. The food was GREAT and our server was extremely nice and accommodating. She went over and above to make sure we enjoyed our meal, which we probably would have anyway. I ordered the Sunday brunch and it tasted like it was prepared by a REAL chef. Each thing I tasted was better than the last. My husband ordered more traditional bar food (wings), and they were really great, too.
Jerry Wren Galloway
Although service was a little slow, the food more then made up for the minor wait. With good classic music friendly wait staff and a relaxed atmosphere. This place was a good stop for lunch after a night of drinking.
Samantha
Best Food On Sixth Street. The title says it all. It would actually be the best place to eat anywhere. Sure I work on Sixth Street and may be biased but Old School just gets it. They offer an industry discount which is really nice for us bartenders on the street. <br/><br/>Their burgers don't need any ketchup because they're amazingly tasty as is. The steak is really good as well and vey reasonable. They always tell you that the food is made fresh. After you taste their menu you can tell. All of their staff is friendly as well. Oh and my bf loves their wings with their hmoemade blue cheese dressing.
Tomasmeister
Great food, excellent service! Staff was quickly able to seat us, a walk-in party of sixteen (!!), all together on a beautiful, high open-air balcony overlooking the street below us. Given the balmy weather and the Mediterranean Festival going on in the street, it was the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Three cheers for the Old School!!
Nathan
Had the "Texas Two Thep"...GOOD burger.
Jenn
Wow my husband and I just ate there. We were going to another resturaunt that happened to be closed down so we walked down 6th street and found this place! Excellent service and great food!
Suzie Snowflake
Good food. Andre our server did a stellar!, job. Great fish and country fried chicken!
Allyn Hane
Crappy dry burgers, slow service. If you wanna booz at the bar probably be fine. Typical for 6th street.
Doug Hoff
Don't let the name of this place fool you. I ordered a drink here during the day and paid on the spot. The woman bartender was rude. She left from her shift and told the next bartender I didn't pay. Being a man of 51 I now know that Old School hates older customers!
KJ
Try somewhere else. We were in the 6th street visitor center and asked one of the clerks where would be a good place to eat. He automatically produced a stack of card which got us free salsa and chips and proceeded to tell us how excellent this place was and how the owner was once ran a food truck and got so popular that he opened this wonderful resaurant. So we went. When we went inside we were offered a 4top but chose a booth instead, never being told that there was a whole open air second floor. The waiter, a young hipster with a blue bandana wrapped around his head, immediately took our drink orders and when we told him that we were from the visitor center he responded with "well let me get your salsa and chips". About 10 minutes later he showed up with the drinks and started taking our food order. My wife asked him if the cod for the fish sandwich was fresh or frozen, the answer was fresh, so she ordered it, I ordered the Club sandwich and the other two in our party ordered the brunch buffet. Well, 30 minutes later we not only did not see our waiter or the salsa and chips the food was nowhere to be seen either. When it finally did show up the 2 in our party were very pleased with the brunch choices, ingredients were fresh and everything was tasty. The Club sandwich was so-so and overpriced for the fare given. The fish sandwich was a bomb! Heavily battered, fresh out of the hot grease and mushy as hell. Definitely frozen fish. Crappy meal, crappy service
Sharon Clark
Delicious, Healthy Food. After having a couple breakfasts in Austin where we felt the food was (too) plentiful and greasy, we happened on Old School Bar & Grill. What a pleasant surprise! Visiting from California, we were hungry for fresh fruits and vegetables, and this restaurant delivered. I had a spinach and mushroom omelet cooked to perfection, along with some nicely seasoned, non-greasy French toast, and an ample serving of very fresh, colorful fruit. My husband was equally pleased with his choice, and we enjoyed mimosas and a bloody mary with our meal. The service was excellent, the prices very reasonable, and the atmosphere pleasant. We would definitely go back, and would recommend this restaurant to those patrons who appreciate well prepared dishes using fresh ingredients.
Ashley
Stopped in with my mother since it was her 1st time to walk down 6th. Wasn't expecting much from a bar and grill. Got way more than expected. Bus burger is the best!! The fries are great too. mom had grilled chicken with rice and asparagus. Just as good! highly recommend!!
Chuck
We went to old school based on the recommendation of the Hilton. The food was awful! The steak was chewy, the caesar salad was spicy (huh?), and it was basic bar fare. The two others I was with didn't care for it either. In sum, this place aspires to mediocrity.
Asha Garza
So much better than you'd think. Joey gave us great service AND food was excellent. Fish and chips, chicken fried steak, salad, cheesecake, creme Neile...all awesome...all homemade
Angel Taylor
Love this Place!. We stumbled upon Old School in search of a new hang out and we found it. The food is awesome, the drinks are great and both are very reasonably priced. The bartenders are really friendly and the waiters/waitresses are super attentive. We'll be there often!!
Jeff Aleem
The Bus burger is one of the best if not the best burger I have eaten. Quality ground beef cooked to order and the pretzel bun is outstanding. Finger lickin' sloppy. Oh and great fries.
