Corner Bar — Restaurant in Austin

The drinks, awesome! The drinks, and BBQ Sunday's deserve a 5. There was a time when we went each weekend religiously...But last weekend marked the FIFTH time that we have gotten screwed on our bar tab. They won't let you pay cash and insist on taking a card. Each instance has gone as follows: we ask for our tab, have to haggle with the bartender over other people's drinks on our tab, get it cleared up, pay cash and leave. A couple days later, our own tab, as well someone else's tab ends up charged to our bank. That's THREE tabs we end up paying for. Only once have we been able to get it cleared up. We have spent so much money there covering bogus tabs because they can't keep them straight. The one free "free BBQ" plate ends up costing us as much as two or three would. I caution you to always get a receipt. Shame on us for returning time and time again and allowing this to happen. It's a bummer because we truly liked this place and eventually just got over the parking situation, and got used to being blocked in every time we tried to leave. CB has lost some...

Husband wanted Brown's today, because it was so hot out I stopped in CB to get a drink. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and SO quick. She was on top of her game. I ALWAYS ask the bartender for suggestions, sometimes I get the ehhhh well we have this.... blah blah blah. Today I wanted something light and crisp, she immediately knew what to try. I was SO impressed that right off the bat she got me something I loved! (Never happens) It was a weird time of the day so only a few other patrons were there, but I have a feeling the service is always great. Jiame - the manager was also great. He was running around doing bar stuff, but made it a point to come over and talk to us and introduce himself. I am going to come back for the michelada ya'll got me stoked for and that bloody mary bar. Thanks for the overall GREAT lunch experience. It is MUCH appreciated.

P.s. I'd let ya'll know the bartenders name if I remembered, I am SO...

I loved this place.....cool little bar with very friendly staff!

We actually went to that location to eat at a BBQ truck (Brown's) BBQ. After getting our food the BBQ truck staff told us we could take our food inside the bar if we wanted to sit in AC, or we could sit on the bar's covered patio. I was also told that of we wanted an adult beverage with our meal that we would need to get it from the bar. I went in to get a beer (we opted to sit on the patio) and I was amazed at how clean and neat the bar was. The bartender was extremely friendly and the beer was cold. After eating, we went back in to get a cocktail. They had a list of specialy cocktails and I chose one that was a Blackberry something (the name was a spin on daiquiri, although it was nothing like a daiquiri..more like a martini). Bottom line is that it was delicious! Just wish it were closer to home so I could be...
