School House Pub

Well, I was in the mood for poutine so on today’s walk I didn’t know where I would end up. I saw School House Pub might have some so I ventured inside. Don’t worry, it’s coming back next week! I was might by the chillest bartender Mauricio & he even gave me a slight “don’t worry, it looks like you’re flustered” talk as I approached the bar. He told me the fish and chips as well as the Crawford Bock were on happy hour. Of course I had to have both. I was also in the mood for cauliflower wings and I hit it big here! The food was incredible despite the French fries being overdone. The vegan ranch was delicious and the tartar sauce was unique but not in left-field. The conversation I had with Mauricio was great—it was nice to exchange similar opinions on how East Austin’s restaurant scene has changed. He poured me some of his favorite mezcal over ice and it was delicious. The atmosphere was great and super laid back. It was cool to see some Día de los Muertos decor and people from Britain in the bar. I can’t wait to go back!

The atmosphere is cute with their all in school theme. Some healthy options on the menu but get the feeling the chef is experimenting a lot of the time since some items are a hit while others are a miss. They should stick to four seasons of favorites. Disappointed in the Sunday happy hour as it feels they choose items to get rid of instead of items that would draw someone in. The choices on this particular day were a sour for the beer special and a rose for the wine special. See what I mean?

I've been going to school house pub off and on when in the area, but recently have been going more because it's just a great atmosphere. Also their a/c is legit on these stupid hot days. Bar staff is also amazing with suggestions and drinks. And if you're hungry for a snack the popcorn is legit and my friends and I have to order it every time we're there.

Cutest little themed bar with food! School House Pub boasts themed cocktails such as the “Trapper Keeper” a mescal based drink, the “Burn Book” a vodka based drink, the “Pen15 Club” a rum Based drink, etc. Along with a solid beer and wine selection - this is a great place to grab a drink in East Austin. You hungry? School House Pub has you covered with fresh pasta, a burger to die for, fish n chips, an Italian Grilled Cheese with prosciutto and the works. This is a cute super casual and fun themed bar with a relaxed vibe. Great for neighborhood visits or those from the outter areas looking for a fun East Austin experience. Go check them out!

We came here after the Austin Outlaws game. This is a nice place with outside seating and seating inside. The only bad thing is the bar you order at is close to the entrance, and it gets very congested with people in that area. The food is amazing! Great place. Check them out you will be glad you did.
