Foursquare Tips

  • Austin's oldest outdoor biergarten and dining hall was built by German immigrant August Scholz in 1866. They still serve some German dishes alongside nachos, and burgers to a largely politico crowd.

  • Scholz bills itself as the oldest bar in Texas - they've been serving politicos, college students and other faithful lovers of their German biergarten food for well over 100 years. [Eater 38 Member]

  • Super charming BierGarten where fixtures were imported from Germany in the 1880s. Had the pretzel. Didnt have anything else and it was divine.

  • The brat I got was absolutely flavorless. But I do recommend the giant soft pretzel.

  • The giant pretzel is a great way to start your meal and the brats and German potato salad should not be missed.

  • Ordered a beer, waiter never came back to get out food order. So, after 30 mins of waiting, we got up and left without paying. This place is always understaffed.

  • The beer selection here is great, and the food is pretty salty but definitely filling.

  • The schnitzel is just ok. The service was just ok. The environment is just ok. That said the beer is great and it's an institution.
