You’re here for: great food and drink with nightly live music.
Along with its standing as one of the best breweries south of the river, Austin Beer Garden & Brewery (a.k.a ABGB) also serves as a venue that consistently puts on some excellent shows. There’s a large stage inside the German beer hall style interior, but if you prefer to sit outside, you can grab a picnic table under a live oak and enjoy pizzas, sandwiches, and bavarian-style beer.
The Absolute Best Pizza in Austin
While officially called The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co., any Austinite worth their carbs knows it simply as the ABGB. If the cherished nickname doesn't give it away already, this beer garden is a deep-rooted neighborhood go-to in South Austin. While the beer may be, literally, the headliner here, its fresh, seasonal pizzas are equally deserving of the spotlight. And the joint’s cherished bond with the city is further emphasized by the food itself, where many ingredients come locally sourced. Considering how topped-to-the-gills its pizzas are—one features brussel sprouts, pistachio pesto, taleggio, rosemary, black garlic, sweet potatoes, red onions, ricotta, and goat cheese on a single pie—it’s a good thing the chefs can restock the line without leaving the restaurant's backyard.
