Austin Snapshots: Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden

Before arriving in Austin, we both had Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden (79 & 81 Rainey St, 512-386-1656) on our to-do list and we weren't disappointed. Rocking up at a touch after 11 am and despite the threat of rain, we sat at the long wooden tables in the beer garden ready to sample the diverse menu. There's even a fenced area for dogs to hang out while their masters revel in sausages and local beer.

Andrea started with the more traditional Bockwurst: a Berlin original pork and veal sausage in a bun, while I went with the BBQ Bacon & Shrimp that came with white cheddar grits and house-made BBQ sauce.

This was quickly followed by the Revolver Bock (6.5%), that made the cool breeze more bearable while we perused the menu some more.

Any description of this sausage will not justify just how good it is, so it's a must-try if you're there. The Independence Convict Hill Oatmeal Stout (8.0%) completed my meal and I was ready for day of walking...and it wasn't even 1pm yet.

Oh my goodness, Krista, I was VERY bad and had some both there and the other night here. I can’t help myself. You can’t get them anywhere but here and I was 9 years out. ~Andrea.

Thank you for working with Straigh To The Point.
