My only regret is I didn't find this place earlier into this stay so I could have enjoyed more of it. And finally, the service was exceptional on both my visits. The coffee was also quite good, as one would expect since the owners had been longtime coffee roasters before they got into brewing. I ordered tacos on both visits and they were easily the best I had in Austin, explaining why the food portion of the menu is somewhat limited and focused there. Indoors is large with a typical bar, long tables, and a small lounge area. There are two outdoor areas (one is a beautifully decorated patio) with a mix of small and large tables and a long standing (non-serving) bar area. The atmosphere is appealing for a neighborhood joint such as this. The beers all have inventive names (and not in the absurdist bordering on vulgar or offensive way of some breweries) and the descriptions are both interesting (often historical, too) and accurately descriptive, which seems to be a tough goal to hit for breweries. The beer menu itself is also part of why I liked this place so much. Down to a limited amount of the 2019 vintage Blushing Bride, Orange Blossom Honey Tripel 20 each We also have Kings, Wild Honeyed Saison, aged in Tequila Barrels. And they say they have plans for goses, spurs, wilds, and barrel aged beers. Beyond those, they also had a barleywine, an English bitter, and a lager available. We moved to Austin back in 2013 to pursue our dream of opening a small neighborhood brewery. On my first visit, I did a flight of five, concentrating on the pale ales (descriptions below are from the brewery menu): * A Belgian strong golden ale ("hints of banana, pear, and clove") * An American IPA ("Gigantic thirst quenching hoppy goodness") * A double IPA ("grapefruit and citrus, with a touch of pine and nice graininess") * An American Pale Ale ("caramel, cedar, lush citrus") * An Australian pilsner ("lemon, grapefruit, and melon rind on the palate, with a soft bitterness on the finish") On my second visit, I had a great coffee infused brown ale and a fantastic stout. Specialties: We are a pints-on-premise brewery that serves makes and shares coffee, beer, and street tacos, in a funky little space on East 6th St between Whisler's and Counter Cafe. And just as importantly, many were creative in terms of taste. For one, the beers I had were all fantastic. Kitchen will be open from 11am-8pm with a very LIMITED MENU. In fact, it might just be my new all-time favorite. Hi friends, details for today: -Open at 9am for hot coffee, drinks, and potable water filling. While I only went to Lazarus twice - both short visits - this place rocketed into the upper tier of my favorite breweries. I love small neighborhood breweries such as this (beer is available onsite only here: they have no plans for distribution, they do t offer growlers, etc.), have my favorites back home in North Carolina, and visit as many new ones as I can during my travels far & wide. Happening upon Lazarus Brewing was the highlight of my visit to Austin, strange as that may sound.
