Clive - Austin, TX

No food here that I know of.  This is a really cool indoor/outdoor spot though to go grab a drink down in the Rainey St. district (if you haven't been, go), and has a few good food options right across the street, which I've yet to try but plan to.  This is an awesome spot to hit for happy hour with friends, and maybe end up running across the street to get either some Indian, African, or authentic interior Mexican food.

This place is a nice blend of trendy (which really isn't me) and porchy (which is exactly me) which works really well, particularly on a nice day.  The other bonus here is that if you've got dogs, they're welcome, and you've got the added bonus of being able to walk there via the trails around Town Lake, missing the traffic and busy streets around the downtown area.  Good beers on tap and general hard liquor drinks and wines that you'd expect from a bar.  And a few other cool looking bars around it that you can make an evening of.

I'll be going back here a lot.

Summary:

Atmosphere - indoor/outdoor, good for the solo traveler, good place to meet after work, good for groups, awesome on a nice day, good place to meet new people, good place to get hammered, no tvs

Food - n/a though good variety is a thirty second walk away to the food trucks, G'Raj Mahal, Cazamance, and El Naranjo, which I'm assuming you can get to go and bring back to Clive

Dog Friendly - check

When to Go - happy hour transitioning into evening and on nice nights

Crowd - groups of girls, groups of guys, mixed groups, 20somethings and 30somethings, hipsters, attractive affluents, cyclists, hotchicks
