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.

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!

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!

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.

Came here for a quick stop to eat. Had the fish and chips and a beer and they were both great. The atmosphere inside is cozy, but their outside patios have plenty of seating and misters to keep you cool. The bartenders were great. This was a solid choice. I'll definitely return.

As a teacher, I loved the decor and the atmosphere. It was like entering an old-school schoolhouse with amazing food and drink. The stuff was amazing, and much better than anything you would find standing in line back when you were waiting for a sloppy joe.

I may be partial because it's right down the street from me but I'm really digging this place. The bartenders are always cool, the lighting and seating indoor and outdoor is perfect and it's a great place to just chill with friends and family. You won't be disappointed.

Easy and casual. Very 'Austin' vibe. Some limits on Happy Hour and drink specials, so not the biggest bar. But a very good neighborhood bar. Fish and Chips on Sunday are a great deal, the fries were especially good. Plenty of tables outside, some indoor seating.

Really great ambiance and selection of beers. Taking off a star because the burger came with cinnamon and sugar onions that we couldn't get past and had to scrape off & the girl next to us bit into a cinnamon stick in her burger - feel like we might have come on an off night food wise, but other than that service was great!

Shawn Shepherd

Decent little spot with indoor and outdoor seating. The beers were cold and the local drafts were good. Great little appetizer for the table (definitely try the popcorn) and staff were pretty friendly.

Diane Ramos

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.

Dig the atmosphere, music is always on point. Nice and chill spot on a Sunday, and rockin during the week. The drinks are good and the bartenders are always nice. Food was blech...ordered the fish n chips, looked good, but practically no fish and all batter, maybe two ounces total of fish in there. Came with a handful of fries, as if they forgot and threw on all they had left. Tarter was gross, sad, sad day for fish n chips. Not the best, by a long shot. Very sad because it looked so good, a big old fried thing, but all batter and no fish what a letdown.

I am not a fan of this type of food. I was immediately turned off by the parking lot due to the lack of parking spaces. The restaurant was almost empty during lunch. The only decent looking item on the menu was the Montreal fries and I thought it was disgusting. Very hippyish vibe. Food was overpriced. I will never return.
