Hanovers Draught Haus — Restaurant in Pflugerville

Good venue for a night out and lots of room to invite a big crowd of friends for inside or out...

I recently made it my stop to come and see a band I was interested in. Seems there were about two birthday parties (adults of course) and a "meet up" group.. not sure if it was due to the band playing or just the crowd for a Friday night, but the average age was mostly older. A few thirty somethings, a few mid forties, and a majority were fifty+... as noted, it could have been from the cover band, and it seemed to be a lot of locals and friends.. so it wasn't an every changing crowd you could say.

Overall, nice place to get a drink at and maybe meet someone when a band you'd like to see if here, but for a "hey let's go to..." night, I am not sure (unless you're a local).

Good atmosphere, ample room, different inside and outside spaces for your group, playground for kids, washer pits, a basic dart board, and lots of...

As a live music bar, Hanovers is a horrible disappointment. Inside, the music was so loud as to be painful. The sound tech had absolutely no idea what they were doing - eq was WAY off, the horns were being overdriven, the compressors were hamfisted, and the reverb was set so high that the lyrics were unintelligible.

As a beer bar, Hanovers was equally disappointing - if you choose a german name, specialize in german or german-inspired beers. To the bar's credit, the beers were often texas-brewed and did include a couple german-inspired. No Schwartzes, no dunkels, no bocks.

Seating indoors simply did not exist. A/C indoors could not keep up even with a small crowd.

Seating outdoors was sparse and consisted primarily of extremely worn, splintering picnic benches. Very uncomfortable

The smokehouse was closed - perhaps the food is their...

Ever since the first time I stepped into Hanovers back in 2014, I felt at home. After the first visit, I was pleasantly surprised when I came back the second time and the whole bar staff remembered me and my name! It is one of my most favorite live music venues, and I have so many wonderful memories at this bar! It's where I met my husband, some of my best friends, and lyrics from my favorite Austin bands have touched my soul. I've hosted two shows at this wonderful venue, the staff is nothing but helpful, fun, and so sweet. Megan and Chris are amazing, and it's always a pleasure to see Ruby's smile when I visit, this place will always be home to me. Thank you for so many wonderful years and memories, I'll be back ASAP.

Love,...
