School House Pub - Austin

This restaurant is a wonderful spot for getting together with friends or family. The food is delicious, the beer selection is impressive, and the service is fantastic.

I was craving poutine, so during today's stroll, I decided to try my luck at School House Pub. Luckily, they will have it back on the menu next week! I was greeted by the relaxed bartender Mauricio, who noticed my slightly flustered demeanor and reassured me. He recommended the fish and chips and Crawford Bock, both on happy hour, so naturally, I tried them both. I also tried the cauliflower wings, which were a hit. The food was amazing, although the French fries were a bit overcooked. The vegan ranch and unique tartar sauce were delicious. I had a great conversation with Mauricio about the changing restaurant scene in East Austin. He even served me his favorite mezcal over ice, which was delightful. The atmosphere was laid back and cool, with Día de los Muertos decorations and British patrons adding to the unique vibe. I can't wait to return!

The staff and ambiance at this restaurant were fantastic, and I was pleased that we were able to order food. However, I was let down by the fish and chips. The fish was tasteless and the batter was mushy, so I couldn't finish it. On a positive note, the chips were quite good.

The parking situation was good on a Friday night. We only came for appetizers and found that the options were limited, with many items sold out.

This charming little bar in East Austin has a beautiful decor that resembles a school room, complete with books, chalkboards, and other elemental touches. The names of cocktails on their menu are clever and varied.
