Valhalla Esports Lounge

06/10/2022 Update: something I should have brought up is that if you are looking for a place to watch game tournaments (EVO, Combo Breaker, ALGS, OWL, etc) the TVs seem to don't have the ability to stream YT or Twitch. Only sport channels. There is a proyector at the back streaming Twitch but apparently the audio system is broken or not linked to the bar's system (we were told it was broken atm). So, watch parties seem to be a no go on this "eSports" bar. Location is great for hanging out and play some retro consoles while waiting for your food and drinks. It has a gaming lounge for PC and Console if you want to play for a long time. Drinks are great! But the food... Stick to the wings and the tater tots. The burger is ok for the price but the chili dogs, disgusting. The hotdog is pretty plain but the chili, the chili is awful. You get better chili from a can of Wolf's Chili than whatever I was served. No flavor at all. No amount of condiments would save this poor dog out of its misery. Stay away from the hotdogs. Seriously. The pizza is fine, that one is worth trying.

Real cool staff. Like really cool bartender, cook, and manager. The staff cares about their jobs and you can tell. The place itself smaller than expected, but for the space they have, they make it work. They have a pretty limited supply of newer consoles, and people are normally on them and the older consoles were open more when I went there. Overall a real cool place full of people that deserve the local support. They have Doritos cheese sticks, and they were very highly rated.

Justin, the general manager is very welcoming and proud of his come up starting out as a part time dish washer here. Miranda, our bartender was awesome too. Great cast for a great Esports Lounge. Games everywhere, great food and drinks.

My girlfriend brought me out to Austin for my bday weekend and we happened to stumble into Valhalla which became the highlight of the entire weekend. This place WAS A VIBE. From all the different games and consoles to play on to the quirky bartenders and their unique and fun personalities, this place had a lot to offer. Justin helped curate by far the most welcoming and friendly environment I’ve ever experienced at a bar. We literally stayed for hours and I feel like we’d still be there if it was possible lol 10/10 experience and we’ll definitely be back.
