There is not a single picture of a cow or a river in this bar. The food is good and so are the drinks but if you were expecting a bovine or river (or a combination) themed bar you will be disappointed.
Lived all over, and been around the world. I dont live in Austin anymore, but i still tell everyone that this is my favorite bar. Best bartenders, best management, best food. Love this place
Excellent bar right in the heart of downtown Austin. Drink and food prices were extremely fair. We enjoyed some chicken wings and hush puppies. The beer was ice cold, and the bartenders were all very nice. Also, the air conditioning was very good, which was refreshing on a very warm day.
Quick service. The food was good, not grest. The tacos were not super flavorful, but they were catfish, which i understand is mild. The atmosphere was loud but had good energy.
Nice divey bar connected to Turf and Surf. The drinks and atmosphere are great for a casual and low key night. Food at turf and surf is absolutely amazing and pairs well with a cold beer. Queso and nachos looked really good
Great downtown Austin bar! Love the new outdoor patio area in the back. It’s a popular stop for those party bikes so prepare for bachelorette parties. If you’re hungry, the Surf n Turf food spot is delicious
The bar is absolutely excellent, both in location and general vibe. The layout is welcoming to all, and my coworkers and I have even gone there just to grab lunch because it's so incredible!
I've been here a couple times now and they have not disappointed!
Nice bar with plenty of seating areas indoor and nice big patio in the back. There’s a po boy restaurant connected with a counter inside the bar, so you can order straight from inside the bar.
This place was a find. Good prices on food and drinks. Outdoor seating as long as you don't drink...I was inside. I loved the calamari and the Queso Guac & chips. It is deceptively large inside the place and goes back quite a ways.
Great place for the Wyoming pre game! Bartenders were fast and friendly.
While visiting Austin on a business trip I stopped in here to have lunch while I waited for my room to be ready. You seat yourself in the bar area and then ordered your food up at a window and get a number for it to be delivered when it was ready. The blackened chicken tacos were delicious and they're also quite large considering they were inexpensive. The chicken wings as well as the sweet potato fries were also great. The vibe was fun and relaxed and there was plenty of seating.
What do I like about Lavaca, it’s close to my office, it’s a sport bar and you can watch mostly all important sport events there, sounds great :), the food is really good and staff are friendly and take care of you very fast. However, the tables and seats are so close, that means minimum privacy, and tables are sticky and not clean. Other than that, anything else about Lavaca is great.
