Bangers Sausage House & Beer Garden

Big Flavor & Big Fun on Rainey Street

Located in the heart of Austin’s buzzing Rainey Street district, Bangers Sausage House & Beer Garden is a lively, laid-back spot known for its massive beer selection, house-made sausages, and festive outdoor vibe. With more than 200 craft beers on tap and a sprawling beer garden, this is the kind of place where the energy is always high, especially on concert nights. The setting is equal parts rustic and communal, with long picnic-style tables, twinkling lights, and often live music of its own.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short stroll from many of Austin’s major live music venues, Bangers is perfectly placed for a pre-show bite or post-show wind-down. The service is fast and friendly—even when it’s busy—so you can grab a sausage and a pint without worrying about missing the opening act. The atmosphere is upbeat but not overwhelming, making it ideal for getting into the concert spirit. And if you're lucky, you might catch a live set right in the beer garden before heading to your main event.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, casual hangout spot
• Solo travelers who want a communal vibe and bar seating
• Couples enjoying a lively date night before a show
• Fans wanting to start the party early with live music and flowing beer
• Budget-conscious concert-goers seeking filling food and fair prices

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the “incredible beer selection,” “friendly staff,” and “huge portions of delicious food.” The sausages—ranging from classic bratwurst to exotic options like duck or alligator—get consistent praise, as does the energetic beer garden atmosphere. Guests love the “Austin vibes,” and many mention how it’s a perfect pre-concert spot close to multiple venues.

Areas for Improvement

It can get crowded during peak hours and weekends, so seating might be limited without a reservation. Also, if you're looking for a quiet dinner, this may not be the place—it’s more festive than formal. Parking is limited on Rainey Street, so consider rideshare if you’re in a rush.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable beer list, hearty food, and prime location, Bangers is a go-to for concert-goers who want to eat, drink, and soak up Austin’s music-loving spirit before the show.
