“I gotta review a place when I’m pleasantly surprised by the food. I got the blackened chicken tenders and they were fire. Highly recommended. I think it’s cool when a spot allows you to get your chicken fried, blackened, or grilled. Maybe not healthy necessarily but at least healthier than fried as an option. And it wasn’t dry at all. Tons of TVs for watching any and all sport games. And overall good service....”
“Lavaca Street Bar is a classic downtown Austin sports bar—tons of TVs, lively crowd, and an easy spot to meet up with friends. I went in for a game and it delivered: quick service at the bar, solid beer selection, and a fun, energetic vibe without feeling too pretentious. It can get packed fast during big games, but if you grab a spot early it’s a great place to hang out and watch sports.”
“This has been one of my favorite places for the past 10 years!! I got the blackened catfish, and my friend got the chicken strips! HANDSDOWN THE BEST!! Forgive me, we had started eating already 😊”
“Being relatively knew to Austin, I cannot recommend Lavaca downtown enough. The bar staff are nothing but friendly and welcoming. Its a great atmosphere and the bar staff are top notch. If you are ever in the area, Lavaca is not one to be missed. Do yourself a favor and get here quickly!”
“Solid place for game day viewing. Have a big group with folks who care about multiple games? You can come here and still enjoy! Especially on the back patio… Suggestion: bring back some of the old menu items on the food truck! That’s gone down hill over the last 4 years.”
