The Rustic Tap

Rustic Tap is an outdoor patio bar at 613 W 6th Street in downtown Austin, run as an extension of The Hoffbrau, one of the city's oldest family-owned restaurants. The patio setup mixes campfire-style seating with bar seating and regular tables around two bars, more than 20 craft beers on tap, and a stage that hosts live music. It opens at noon on weekends and keeps a full food and drink menu going, with space available for private rentals ranging from small groups up to full-venue buyouts of 500 guests — a large, flexible stop on the West 6th Street bar strip.
