Hi there. I'm in town for a week visiting the in-laws. Tried a search but it was difficult considering the first 10 pages of results were from the Black Friday thread. I'm looking more specifically for bottle shops (any place that has Bomb! regularly?) and bars with good beer and hot wings to check out. More generally, any other "can't miss" recommendations are appreciated. (I've been to Draught House, Bangers, WhichCraft, Specs, and planning to visit Jester King later this week) Thanks!
Bomb came in around town last week and will probably be at some random stores still. It really does not stay on shelves that long. You went to WhichCraft which is the best bottle shop in town, but also check out East 1st Grocery and Sunrise (on Anderson). After that, you have craft pride, bangers and Draughthouse for bars.
Billy's on Burnet has great wings and a good selection of beers. Tuesday and Wednesday there are cheap pint prices. You can walk over to Pint House after, which is a brewpub that also has a variety of guest taps.
WingzUp in Hancock Center has my favorite wings in town and a decent but not special beer selection with a fair number of good local beers.
Thanks! Sunrise is that gas station correct? Think I stopped by there last year and found a few gems.
Yes, Sunrise is a gas station, and it makes the experience even sweeter. You may want to check out the Oasis brewery tap room, more for the view than the beer (but the beer is acceptable.)
Sorry to post right behind myself, First, not all Spec's are created equally. The one on Airport Blvd is the best/biggest selection, IMHO. I would also try to see Pint House Pizza on Burnett. Great beer, good selection, excellent pizza.
I hear Central Market Westgate (the South Austin one) is a decent place to find good beer. Can't confirm.
