Pull up a barstool, grab a cold one, and stay a while.

Born in East Austin, Handsome Dan's brings together the best of Texas brewing with the laid-back vibe of classic bait shops. We transformed an old warehouse into something special - a place where craft beverages, quality food, and good folks come together.

Who is Dan?

Handsome Dan is that hunting and fishing guide everyone wanted to learn from.

The kind of guy who knows every back road and hidden creek within fifty miles. Wakes up before dawn to check his lines, stays in shape hauling gear through thick brush, and has a partner who knows exactly when he'll be back from the lake.

As a guide, he knew how to teach you the water without talking your ear off - always patient but expecting you to pay attention and respect the outdoors. Dan's the type to hold true to his word without needing to brag about yesterday's catch. Perfectly content to outfish everyone else without needing to let them know. A damn good outdoorsman and someone that you want to make proud.

Dan’s Way

Like Dan himself, we keep it real. No fancy promises, just honest follow-through. Our sandwiches are built right, our beers pour true, and every guest gets a proper welcome.

That means:

  • Sandwiches that remind you why you love sandwiches

  • Beers that do what good beer should do

  • Service from folks who'll shake your hand and remember your name

  • A spot where you're welcome just as you are
