The Stay Put — Restaurant in Austin

I DON'T GO TO A BREWERY TO LOOK LIKE A BUDDHA! All these giddy reviews with little to no mention of service. I go to this new brewery on a slow, rainy Saturday shortly after opening, take a seat at the bar and 15 minutes elapses before I finally get my pint. The bartender, (young man, black, merely a descriptive, not racist — in case owner / management cares to read and follow-up on comments, positive or negative) deserted me as I was sampling the Italian Pilsner and asking about the dark lager; he slipped away to serve two others who arrived after I did, however, I respect any bar worker's ability to multitask.

Meanwhile, minutes are ticking by and I'm being ignored. For the record, I'm well into my 70s and still enjoy beer and asking intelligent questions anytime I come into a new tap room or brewery for the first time, this time under the incentive of the "Barks for Beers" campaign for May. I'm not going to speculate if that may have been part of the bartender's lack of interaction. Perhaps it was a subtle, subliminal form of age discrimination. At minimum it represents a shortcoming on management's part to properly train for hospitality and welcoming folks other than young urbanites, hipsters, Millennials, Gen...'s, etc.

I could mention that a co-worker in the same bar space, wiping and putting glasses away, cast no eye-glance my way or demonstrated a minimal awareness of my looking like a Buddha at the bar.

Location is difficult for anyone other than arriving on foot or bicycle. The surrounding high-rise construction noise is what implodes on your savoring a beer if you decide to sit outside in the ample-sized beer garden.

I didn't stay put to finish my quaff; instead escaped to Koko's for the real brewery and Biergarten experience. The owners will put faith and confidence in their business name, but in my humble opinion this place is far from what I regard as a brewery /...

Awesome brewery bar. Definitely recommend!! Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and a really nice outdoor area. Very clean, in an amazing location. My favorites are the very malty Peggy amber and midnight rapture porter. I had all their beers and they're all fantastic. Awesome pricing (especially during happy hour)

Only took off one star because I hope to see more brews, and it wasn't immediately obvious it was a brewery on Google maps. For the owner/manager, highly suggest changing the Google maps title to include "brewery" somewhere as well. Maybe along the lines of "The Stay Put - Brewery/Bar". Love looking around locally for craft beers, and this wasn't immediately obvious as a craft brewery. The bathroom situation is interesting, but clean. Definitely think the light in the restrooms should be brighter.

Not a fan of the crypto promotion, though. Stay away from that.

The head brewer, Zach, is really cool. Knows what he's doing....

The Stay Put is a laid-back brewpub on Rainey Street in Austin, offering house-brewed beers, draft cocktails, and a dog-friendly patio. Housed in a restored 1920s bungalow, it features communal tables and a relaxed atmosphere. The menu includes a variety of beers like the “Space Coyote” hazy IPA and cocktails such as the “Passion Fruit Margarita.” While some patrons appreciate the ambiance and drink selection, others have noted that prices can be on the higher side. It’s a solid spot for casual drinks, especially if you’re in the area and looking for a...
