Austin Public - Forest Hills

My favorite spot for drinks and karaoke on Sunday evenings after work. Each time I visit, I bring along a new group of friends, and we always have a fantastic time. The drinks are excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is wonderful! They've come to know me, so I feel like a celebrity every time I go.

Here’s what we ordered: - Pink Lady (4/5) - Blueberry Lemonade (4/5) - AP House Salad (4/5) **Pros:** - Open later than most other bars in the area - Good selection of beers, wines, spirits, and cocktails - Covered outdoor seating, which was perfect for the rainy day we visited **Cons:** - While there are barriers (green scrubs), the spacing is quite tight and it can be difficult to navigate through **Overall:** Austin Public offers a solid selection of drinks and is conveniently located among the restaurants in Forest Hills, making it an excellent spot to stop by for drinks afterward.

They've also enhanced their special nights, introducing a Monday deal where you can enjoy a Sandwich and Beer for just $12. My favorite dish is the Homemade Beef Meatballs with melted mozzarella and marinara sauce on a hero. And, of course, Taco Tuesday is still a hit! Their brunch burgers remain the best in Forest Hills. The outdoor dining area is cozy and inviting, perfect for couples on a date or groups looking to have fun. It's a delightful experience all around. What's even more impressive is that Declan, Lucy, and the entire AP team have been giving back since the beginning of the pandemic. They've delivered meals to doctors, nurses, and first responders, while also fostering community support during these tough times. Their commitment to service truly sets this place and its people apart.

This place is a great spot for beer and drinks. They just reopened after covid last Thursday and are not at a full menu yet. They have beers on tap, domestic, cocktails and mostly bar food. Friendly and good service, socially distanced and nice atmosphere. They have horseradish aoli, don't recommend it's a bit to astringent. We enjoyed the blue cheese dressing instead and almost tasted the same but less harsh on the palette

This is one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! It is a great spot for happy hour and trivia which they offer weekly. I try to go here with my girlfriends on Thursdays when they run Ladies Night specials. Outside of Happy Hour time, drinks are pretty pricey for the area so I try to come in when they are offering some kind of deal or special. They also offer a bottomless brunch option which I haven't tried yet but can't imagine it's a flop based off my experiences here for dinner. I love that they go ALL OUT for holidays like Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day. As for the food, I typically get the Cobb Salad which is always made consistently and is satisfying. My friends have never had any issues with the dishes they've gotten (quesadilla, boneless wings, burger). My only complaint is that it can get VERY loud and draws a good crowd throughout the evening. The staff stays pretty on top of it though and the bartenders are always friendly. Overall, definitely a great spot to grab drinks with friends. You're not getting THE BEST food Forest Hills has to offer but a safe spot for sports bar bites!
