School House Pub - Austin, Texas

We spotted School House Pub while driving by, and it was an experience worth sharing! The atmosphere was both unique and refreshing, providing a perfect backdrop.

We ordered the fish and chips and a burger with fries. The fish was crispy and golden, perfectly paired with the tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon. The fries were fresh, crispy, and seasoned to perfection, making every bite a treat. The burger was equally impressive. It was a classic done right, and the side of fries complemented it wonderfully.

Overall, School House Pub delivered not just a meal, but an enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a refreshing setting!

Honestly, though this was definitely from my childhood, I still was apparently too old to beer there. And it was fabulous! I loved the age and gender inclusive vibe. With drinks like “Trapper Keeper,” what’s not to love?❤️ Definitely eat the chorizo and eggs.

Cutest little themed bar with food! School House Pub boasts themed cocktails such as the “Trapper Keeper” a mescal based drink, the “Burn Book” a vodka based drink, the “Pen15 Club” a rum
Based drink, etc. Along with a solid beer and wine selection - this is a great place to grab a drink in East Austin. You hungry? School House Pub has you covered with fresh pasta, a burger to die for, fish n chips, an Italian Grilled Cheese with prosciutto and the works. This is a cute super casual and fun themed bar with a relaxed vibe. Great for neighborhood visits or those from the outter areas looking for a fun East Austin experience. Go check them out!

Nice local bar with friendly staff. We started with the ginger wings and they were crispy, tasty and served hot. Then we got the Montreal fries, aka poutine. Very disappointing... the fries, sauce and meat on top were barely warm. The cheese was one big disc on top. The fries need to be a thicker cut for that plate. Then we got the Mac and cheese... although over-salted, it was really good. Kudos to Hanna and Jacob working their butts off behind the bar.

Such a cool, fun place! Christina and Edgar definitely got it down. Super fun selection of quality cocktails and the food is great! Those fried Deviled Eggs are everything! The burger and fries are A+ in my book. Definitely a good place to come and chill w friends, spend some time, and have fun.

Well, I was in the mood for poutine so on today’s walk I didn’t know where I would end up. I saw School House Pub might have some so I ventured inside. Don’t worry, it’s coming back next week!

I was might by the chillest bartender Mauricio & he even gave me a slight “don’t worry, it looks like you’re flustered” talk as I approached the bar. He told me the fish and chips as well as the Crawford Bock were on happy hour. Of course I had to have both. I was also in the mood for cauliflower wings and I hit it big here!

The food was incredible despite the French fries being overdone. The vegan ranch was delicious and the tartar sauce was unique but not in left-field.

The conversation I had with Mauricio was great—it was nice to exchange similar opinions on how East Austin’s restaurant scene has changed. He poured me some of his favorite mezcal over ice and it was delicious.

The atmosphere was great and super laid back. It was cool to see some Día de los Muertos decor and people from Britain in the bar. I can’t wait to go back!

I used to frequent School House Pub often, I lived away and moved back and I am glad to see that they’re still providing the same type service and quality cocktails/food. Bartenders are new but obviously experienced and friendly. I have been back twice already and will make this a common spot to visit. Will gladly continue to support. Music can be loud at times but I don’t mind it at all.
