My wife and I found this place on our walk back from our hotel. We were greeted with amazing customer service and sat promptly at their bar, as requested. The service was some of the best I’ve had. They had a fantastic authentic gumbo special and the oysters were delicious. At the end, they let us sample their king cake! Jill was fanatic behind the bar. Everyone in the restaurant appeared to have been having just as much fun as well. Highly recommend and we plan on returning there to eat before our trip ends!

6th St post Thanksgiving was a delight! Quieter than usual, we were thrilled to find Parkside. Sat at the bar & it was perfect!! Their Happy Hour from 5-6 was AWESOME! Half off all drinks & 4 of their top selling appies was perfect! Nico was behind the bar: Friendly, professional & gave the perfect suggestion for my palate. My husband loved his Oysters & Lamb with the WA Hedges Cab & Still Rye from Austin & I ADORED my Austrian Buchegger Riesling with the Ceviche. Fresh, balanced & tasty... we'll definitely be back.

Heaven at Maggie Mae’s was incredible. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel taken care of the entire time. Great energy, great service, and an awesome vibe overall. Would absolutely come back and hope to be in her section again.

The night got better! Premium drinks at $10 bucks each and they played emo music.

This is more than just a fun bar for a night out. I was visiting from out of state and lost my wallet here. An amazing bartender, Garett, spent hours of his life locating it, keeping it safe, and helping coordinate getting it back to me. There wasn’t even any cash missing ! If you’re planning on losing your wallet, lose it here 🤝

Excellent customer service and the drinks were mixed well. Caught The A-TX Rejects and they put on a great show. Will be back Maggie Mae's!!

Holy shit! Got a couple hell fire cheesesteaks & an order of loaded fries for a couple coworkers & I…by far THE best cheese steak I’ve ever had. It tasted like a sweet & spicy bbq as well as the fries exploding with flavor! Just found my new food spot

The tastiest sandwiches in the legendary Maggie Mae's; what could be better? Great live music, karaoke, and comedy shows and the friendliest staff. I LOVE this place!!!!

Newly remodeled with a killer kitchen! Fat Bottom Grill has taken over the cooking and is bringing a fresh and exciting menu!

Stopped by because I saw a sign that said cheapest drinks on 6th street. They weren’t lying at all. Went from paying $9 for a well drink to $2 on a Tuesday. Also saw some good live music from James Hearne. The bartender Michael was very nice and knowledgeable. Kept me entertained throughout the night.

Beautiful and upscale bar. Excellent mixed drinks and happy hour specials. Although I did have a bite yo eat, the patron next to me ordered some great aromatic food. Went to see The Palacio Brothers play their blues music. It was fabulous 👌

Took the wife to Austin for her birthday and spent time at Maggie Maes. We enjoyed the live music downstairs for a while then headed upstairs to people watch the folks on 6th street from the balcony. The staff was friendly and we really enjoyed the place. We will be back.

I came here as a part of a business trip where the after conference celebration was held. The location was beautiful with a wonderful rooftop bar & view. They also had live music playing, and a lot of great food. The drinks were good and the bartender was very fast, overall it was a great time. I will say that walking back to my hotel from this location in the later part of night wasn't the greatest experience, just because this is a Bar filld street with a bunch of late night activities. However the walk back was fine, you just need to be aware of your surroundings.

Delicious food weird way to take orders looks like they are texting that was so funny and trendy. The waiter was super cool and gave me a cake! I love it!

Awesome happy hour deals! Sun-Fri 5-6 PM 1/2 off cocktails, beer, wine glasses; 1/2 off select menu items (east coast oysters, beef tartare, ceviche, crab fritters, USDA prime bacon cheeseburger). Greta ambiance. Downtown street parking. We especially liked the cheeseburger, crab fritters, and beef tartare. Outside of the happy hour menu, I recommend the endive salad (so good with apples, nuts, and dressing) and caramel pear tart for dessert.

Tried Parkside for dinner on East 6th and it’s a good pick if you want something a little nicer but still relaxed. The raw bar is the move here—oysters were fresh and the mignonette options made it fun to mix things up. Cocktails were solid, and the dining room has that brick-and-wood downtown vibe that works for a date or catching up with friends.

No wait for us, there were two barstools available, otherwise it would have been about 25 minutes. The food was very good, the service from the bartender was good. I left no additional tip, due to the 20% service fee added to the bill. I hope that goes into the tip pool, if not, do better by your servers and customers. The prices are high enough, 20% service fee is defeating the purpose, if it is a tip...I would have left more than that, if not forced to pay it.

Great bar on 6st Street, downtown Austin. Great live music, good beers, fantastic atmosphere and good food doo.

Maggie Mae’s has a great rooftop patio. The service was great and they had live music playing on the ground floor. It was a lot of fun!

We were trying to find a relatively quiet bar with good love music on the 6th and that's exactly what we found. The live band was amazing, performed a number of great songs. Pretty chill. The drinks are not the best though.

Some of the food here was hit and miss. The macaroni lacked flavor. The squash and salmon were really fantastic. However, compared to other reviews and photos I saw. The portions for the entrees given to us were a lot smaller on Valentine’s Day for the same price. That was a let down. Also while everyone was nice, we were seated very closely to other people. All in all, based on my experience it seemed this business is more interested in turning tables and serving less portions for the same prices. Don’t think I’d return.

Fancy Dining here so it's definitely kind of pricey but some dishes are nice. If you ever decide to dine here, you can get the following: Beef Tartare - It's interesting how they added a tortilla chip as the base. Gives a good crunch to the raw beef Marinated Pork Blade Steak - Found this very tender and filling. Something you can savor. Some things to avoid: Corn - Totally not worth it and hard to eat Lamb Pastrami Ribs - They made it a bit too salty and meat is slightly tough

Super disappointing Valentine’s experience. We chose Parkside because we recently rented the event space upstairs for our wedding, and were truly blown away. I’m not sure where the lines got blurred, but our recent dinner experience was everything but smooth. Our 6:30 reservation was not honored, we finally managed a table about 30 minutes after that. Once seated, it took about 20 minutes to get seen. Thankfully my husband managed to order me a drink from the bar. Once our server came around, we put in our complete order from the Valentine’s menu. We received our oysters about an hour after seating and nothing else. The server never came around again, no management came to speak to us, we never even had the opportunity to know what was going on. After voicing this to a person running food, she simply dismissed our concern and told us the restaurant would cover our oysters. No hospitality, resolution or explanation. Mind-blowing bummer.

Stopped by Maggie Mae’s on 6th Street and honestly, it wasn’t my favorite bar experience. The place is huge and loud, but that doesn’t always translate to fun. Music was all over the place depending on which room you were in, and it felt more chaotic than energetic. Drinks were average at best and felt a little overpriced for how crowded it gets. Service was hit-or-miss, especially when it was busy, and moving between floors was kind of a mess. It’s fine if you just want noise and crowds, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

Our reservation was at 730pm and we arrived at 710pm. Got seated fairly quickly then it took awhile for someone to take our drink order. Another 20 mins goes by and finally someone takes our order. Afterwards they tried 3 separate tikes to brings us other people orders. Our food arrives after the 2 couples seated after us already had their food. My wife's food came 10 minute before my steak. When my steak arrived almpst blue rare(ordered medium) I was done and ready to leave. Food arrived an hour after we first checked in. Other only table we could find last minute on Valentines Day was at a Saltgrass location and ended up have a great time there.

I got the lamb ribs and I didn’t like the sauce on top. It was too herb taste So if you don’t like intense herb flavor ask the sauce on the side. I ordered the salmon and it came with a green sauce and I didn’t like it either and the salmon didn’t even had salt or pepper it was plain . The worst part was to wait for our food 1 hour 30 min.

The new owner grossly mismanaged a sexual harassment issue. Among other things, I simply don't feel comfortable going to Maggie Maes anymore. An establishment is only as good as it's management cares for their employees.

Stephanie Vasquez

We were attempting to have a quiet evening at dinner. We were seated near a table with over 20 obnoxious teenage girls who were so loud and out of control we couldn’t even have a conversation. We won’t be back. Utterly so disappointing and disrespectful. Outrageous!

Alden McCrary

This bar was fun last year when Leonard ran comedy shows but on multiple occasions the bartender has stolen from me when I leave open a tab. At first I didn’t care but I went there and it was more than the drinks themselves. Stay away.
