The food here is undeniable, so freaking good. Beer prices are ok but Tuesday Poker night is where all the fun is out. Hands down my favorite place to be. And if you see big Daddy Kyle give a shout out for me. That guy is the KING!

Great ambiance! Loved the crowd but people probably shouldn’t get stuck at the entrance. It’s hard to move to the karaoke

Hospitably charming bartenders in an LGBT space, where you can meet new people when quieter - or - dance it up, play pool, or have some fun during busier times! The bartenders will take good care of you and it'll be a nice time. It gets busy and loud during peak hours

Just moved here from out of town and was told this place was a comfortable bear bar so I took my lunch break here recently. The prices on the food seem reasonable in comparison to where I moved from the space is impressive. It's a very big or atleast big looking bar. I can only imagine how packed it must get during peak hours. Parking was a bit of a challenge but I managed to find some paid street parking. I can definitely feel the pride here it's all over the walls and all haha it makes me feel at home in an otherwise unfamiliar place. I ordered a smash burger "The Bear" and a sweet tea. My food was out in 10 minutes which is appropriate and was really good. The portions were bear approved. I look forward to stopping by again to visit the night scene.

Fun spot to hangout with friendly bartenders. On Sundays, highly recommend getting a Bloody Maria with Tequila. The bartender made one of the best ones I’ve had to date.

Went for lunch, quiet but polite staff. One of the only places that serves angry orchard anymore. The dill pickle chicken sandwich was top tier.

Great gay, bear-centric bar. Big, lively depending on when you go. Went on karaoke night. Great song list, but the DJ that night caters to regulars, not visitors. All good, but don't expect to sing your song anytime soon in a room full of regulars, lol Super fun to watch though. Customers and staff are super fun!

Been to a couple of events and tried the food. Am pleasantly surprised at the taste of the entrees offered at this grungy bar. Getting a burger whenever possible is a must. It's the right amount of fresh and simple. The greasy patty cannot be argued with. Events are lackluster, and meant for the target audience. Messy Bear: chili, queso, onions, & pickles (I had tomatoes added and there was a mess from eating this burger)

When there are no screechy women here, it’s great! Gays: tell your female friends that they are guests in our safe spaces and should not be obnoxious. Know when it’s time to go so that we can be with our community.

Loved this spot when it was at 8th street. The 6th street location is great too, but its attracted a different type of crowd. Very confrontational and needy group of people. Because of the new personalities, I haven't returned. And ive tried a handful of times... and still had several uncomfortable and even aggressive experiences. Miss it, honestly. But its a new era thats not inclusive for their original clientele.

It was good until I tried to order a drink. I get there and waited to be served. The bartender once he was done and charged the other customers, walks by me and then turns around to have a conversation with the people he just finished with. The other bartender came from his side of the bar and got me the drink I ordered. I've always felt at times the Iron bear (some people there) are kind of racist but that's just me. Besides that issue, the drink was awesome and the atmosphere pretty chill. I only went because my friend had never been there but at least next time he knows where it is so he can go on his own because I sure won't.

I live in the neighborhood. I have stopped in for lunch several times; but I never feel welcome when I go. The bartender is always distant and aloof. I'm looking for a friendly LGBTQ atmosphere for lunch in Austin. It is not here. I will keep looking.
