It is a great lively place where you have pool table and bar to hang out with friends and patio garden with karaoke —austin hidden gem by McNeill

Love this place for a casual hang to chill outdoors, listen to live music and enjoy affordable drinks. Their burgers are dang good. Service is also good depending on the bartender you get. One female bartender we've had a couple of times outside seems to be mad at the world and unfortunately that doesn't equate to a mean drink (they were watery and bland)... So we had to time our rounds to when she wasn't there or was busy with another customer.

I was in a new neighborhood this morning and looked for a nearby coffee spot. Usually, I go for places with lots of reviews, but this one had less than ten—still, the photos looked inviting, so I gave it a try. I’m glad I did. It’s a small café tucked inside a larger venue that probably gets busier in the evenings. Even though it seems like a side setup, it didn’t feel like an afterthought. The coffee was really good, the service was friendly, and the space had a nice vibe. It’s clear they put some effort into making it welcoming and comfortable. The setup has a cool, simple charm that makes you want to sit down and hang out for a bit. If I find myself in the area again, I’d definitely come back. A solid coffee spot that’s easy to like.

🎉 The Water Tank is hands-down the friendliest neighborhood bar around! 🍻💛 From the moment you walk in, you feel like part of the fam. 🫂 They’re always throwing awesome events 🎊, pop-ups with 🔥 food and amazing vendors 🍔🎨, and constantly upgrading the backyard hangout vibes 🌳✨. 🃏 Mondays = FREE poker tournaments (so fun!). 🧠 Thursdays = Trivia Night — made even better when Stryker’s yelling at us (shoutout Stryker!). (Shoutout Victoria) 🎶 Sundays = Music Bingo — such a blast! 🎤 And hey… karaoke is EVERY NIGHT if you’re brave enough to embarrass yourself. But seriously, the people here? 💯 So welcoming and friendly. And the bartenders? 🔥 Huge love to Kayla, Taylor, Linda, Steen, Mark, David — and anyone else we forgot, you rock too! 🙌❤️ It’s the ultimate dive bar with a big heart and a family vibe 💕🍺. We’re here almost every day… because, let’s be honest — we’re happy little degenerates 😎🤷‍♂️.

Such a comfy cozy coffee shop. The barista was super friendly. There was a selection of pastries and a breakfast menu to choose from. Lots of parking. It's located INSIDE the Water Tank. You can also take a vinyl album and play it !!!!! There are boozy coffee options as well. I can't wait to go have another coffee there.

This place has almost become a second home for many of the regulars. Great atmosphere, and even better bartenders! Also a plus that the drinks are cheap, and even cheaper during their happy hour that usually lasts to 6! Most week days even have deals on the meals + paired with the food trucks. The place is also huge-with basically three bar fronts (one outside), two game rooms, a community area, a massive outside, two stages, and even a dog park. This all topped with the manager Kayla always finding ways to get the community together and having a blast! (Photos were taken in the afternoon during a lul, as I didn't want anyone in the pics)

The coffee was really good. My so-called almond croissant was undercooked and not the greatest but I was hungry after riding over an hour to get here. There's not much bike parking but there's tons of outdoor space. It's more like going to a sports bar for coffee then a coffee shop with TVs but there's not many choices near here and like I started, no coffee is really good. Kudos to the staff working today. Guy was alone but managed to keep things clean neat and make coffee quickly.

Went with friends but it was too loud to talk. It is primarily an outdoor venue with meh bar food, live music to yell over, bugs, and do-it-yourself everything. It is conjoined with a coffee shop which looked a lot more appealing. If I was into this type of venue, I would give it 4 stars.

Honestly the coffee isn’t bad, but it’s not REALLY a coffee shop. This is a little room on the side of a bar. The gentleman working the coffee portion was unfamiliar with how to put the order in for food. We ordered a cappuccino and a latte with a quesadilla to share. Both coffees were out quick and maybe ten minutes the quesadilla came out; however it arrived in a small black to-go bag; which made eating it difficult. Overall the food tasted good and the coffee wasn’t bad either. Just outside of my expectations.

I absolutely love this venue! While you can sit inside, you HAVE to go outside to the back of the bar. The picnic tables fit groups, and the bar gives great service. They have a menu with great choices. So there is no need to eat before coming here. I will note that the appetizers are huge!  While appetizers are intended for groups, these filled our group up. That is definitely not a complaint! Something else I really like is that they have 3 different cider offerings here. That was really nice to discover! A great plus is that sometimes you will be entertained with live music at the stage in the back. The Water Tank is a terrific bar!

Door lady was great. But anything after that was bull ,stood by the bar for service but was ignored. So we left

Not sure about the evenings at this joint but the last two times I've been the service has been horrible. The first time i walked out after one drink ( Although i doubt the bar tender noticed) she didnt notice when i needed a refill so I'm just assuming. The second time same attention to detail however this time when i asked to play the sweepstakes game i was told a DPS issued printed temp copy of my license wasnt acceptable because of the fact that she had to swipe my ID into the computer. C'mon i was born at night , Not last night. Place seems to be click'ish so if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere you'll probably strike out here.

Came her out of town went to two different bars.. this one made me feel COMFORTABLE and it was fun. Thank you Sacha for making me feel so at home. I had went to a previous bar before, and I fell out of place. The bartender was not the nicest, but she made me feel really comfortable and special really great bartender. Actually made me rethink moving out of Austin. I’ll be back just for her!

I never leave reviews, however in this case I feel it necessary. My husband, a friend and myself went to Watertank last night which for my husband and I was a first and will be the last. I, the DD, went to order drinks. The bartender, DAVID was incredibly disrespectful and rude. He refused to serve me, offered no explanation and said and i quote "im not serving you shit", i responded that i had just arrived and hadn't been served anything at all and that i wasn't drinking, just ordering to which he repeated the same thing, ignored me and walked off. Please know this review is much more so for the employee and the employment of such a demeaning arrogant and disrespectful person. Side note: multiple patrons witnessed this and commented on him "just being an asshole". What ridiculous excuse to tolerate such behavior. I would love at some point to give them another shot and update my review however as a boss myself, I will never support an establishment who employees people that are rude to their patrons(and no, the customer isn't always right and I'm no karen)Fyi, every other bartender had no issue asking what the could get me and for the record, I was drinking diet coke....
