The manager can't take constructive criticism.he seemed annoyed at me for sending my Jerk wings back because they were too salty. I guess he gothigh blood pressure cause his attitude was more salty than the wings

Perfect old school Austin neighborhood bar! Don’t order anything fancy drink wise, stick to the basics! Everything on the menu is superb! Steen is one of my fave bartenders!

NOTE: I will revise this review if my complaint is addressed and solved…

I’ m sorry about this, but I have to put someone on blast as a matter of principle… I was assigned a pick-up from here 2 nights ago from a passenger “Nicole” who claimed she was a bartender. She messaged me prior to my arrival and explained that this was a ride for a friend. Per my usual procedure, I immediately stopped and asked her to confirm that they were in acceptable shape for the ride (not overly intoxicated). She confirmed, but I question her judgement considering they had to carry this gal to my car.

Here’s my issue: After I delivered the gal her destination, Nicole said she was going to give me a $20 for helping out. Newsflash: Uber drivers aren’t typically wealthy. So… I was looking forward to the extra cash. Ultimately I have never seen that money despite additional text messages.

Please don’t make promises you can’t keep. I won’t be available for any more pickups from here until this is addressed.

Bender Bar and Grill is an excellent restaurant that offers a great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a stylish decor that is both modern and welcoming.

The menu at Bender Bar and Grill is extensive and offers a wide range of dishes to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a juicy burger, a tasty salad, or some mouth-watering wings, there's something for everyone on the menu. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a great place to grab a bite with friends or family.

Good spot to have some drinks, the food was pretty good as well especially considering it's coming from a bar

Visited this place on 1/30/22 at around 2200 at the request of a friend. Right up on entering I received a less than hospitable attitude from the gentleman behind the bar after I asked a question about the food. Really soured my whole experience, I went around him and dealt with the female bartender for the rest of our evening. I was actually shocked that someone would be so rude after just being asked a question about the menu. Ordered some wings, and they were good, the lady working in the kitchen was nice and she brought us our food very quickly. I don't want to just let one bad apple sully a reputation, but it seems the management does not really care about the overall experience. This place could be great, it's location is good and the people who visit are fantastic. It is awful when you come across a sad story like this one. One star, solely based on customer service and cleanliness, would not recommend.

Place has a TouchTunes but won’t let you play any Spanish music… At all. Seems odd, I won’t say racist however suspicious.

This place is exactly what you expect. Great place for drinks. Dark as heck inside but, the patio is a great place to hang out. Bartender is fantastic. Only had fried foods when we were there, order the wings and you can't go wrong.
