While they do have a few other selections, they're best at concocting an extensive list of sour libations.

Good food, good beer, huge campus with tons of seating and room for activities. Live music, hiking trails.this place has it all.

Great place to spend an afternoon! Large space with plenty of outdoor and covered areas to enjoy tasty pizza and plenty of beer/cider options. Listen to music, sit by the outdoor fire pit, or visit the goats on property — really enjoyed Jester King!

I’ve been to JS so many times in the past few years. The atmosphere, food and beer have always been amazing. I highly recommend this place for anyone with kids and or dogs… great for everyone!

Beautiful grounds, multiple event spaces and home made brew! Family friendly with sand pit and toys for the kids. There is a goat experience that is fun as well. There was a live band during my late October visit. There is pizza and BBQ chicken available for food.

Loved it here. Good vibes, excellent pizza and really good beer. Lots of space to eat and enjoy good friends and food. There is also a hiking trail with very sticky soil so don’t wear nice shoes.

There was lots of parking and even a beer Garten.

Jester King is the standard bearer of all breweries in Austin. Wonderful atmosphere. Great food. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Lindsey is Wonderful. An absolute must visit.

1: 10 minutes for the food order to be ready and 20 mins in line to pick it up. Unacceptable.
The web site claimed 18-21 minutes for the food to be ready - before we ordered.
If they are busy (which is good for them) they should at least inform us before we place the food order and pay for it in advance.
The only reason for the second star is the open air seating makes it pleasant to sit and enjoy the weather, yet the long wait for drinks (yes drinks and not just food) takes away the other three stars.
Sorry for the honesty, as this should be managed better.

Worst customer service. Waited in line for 45 minutes for first beer. Waited in line for 30 minutes for second beer only to be told they didn’t have my order ready.

Jester king is a must visit brewery if you are in Austin! They have TONS of outdoor seating. There is a large covered area plus more picnic tables all around the grounds than you could need. The goats are so cute and fun to go watch. The beer is fantastic! So many unique and delicious options.

Not much to do here. All their beers are either bitter or sour. Pretty place, but their fields are overgrown. It doesn't look like they have maintained their trails or the vineyard. The goats are cute, though!

1 hour for 1 can of beer didn't even come with a cup/ glass. Plus the dumbest system for ordering drinks/ food I've ever seen. Beer was super generic nothing special. Don't waste your time.

We had a work party here. It was good because there was plenty of space to sit. The food was good. My wife enjoyed the beer. It was a good place for my 2 year old to run around and play. The weather was not great because it was too windy. I'm sure other people enjoyed the band but for me it was too loud and we had to move away because we could not hear each other.

What a great place! The vibe here is so relaxing. Beautiful land to walk around while drinking tasty beer. There's plenty of shade to post up at a table in the long hall or in the garden and just hang out. Be sure to check out the goats!

Even on a cold, rainy day we loved it! The atmosphere was great, staff was so friendly. Great service. Didnt get to try the food. The time with the goats was so much fun. And walking the trail was fun. My daughters enjoyed it!

It's Okay. The drinks are amazing but the staff seems to not care. Not sure why there's that many people working at the bar and we still have to get our own drinks. Also, the pours are inconsistent. Some of my friends got a full pint. I got like half. The place is nice being able to walk around and see some goats.

Yes, you want to go here. You want to invite friends and family to experience the atmosphere of outdoor picnic tables under the shade of big oak trees, good pizza and wonderful beers. The beers (and sours and saisons) are pricey, but excellent.

A local friend of mine told me one afternoon, during my visit, “we must go to Stanley’s Farmhouse pizza”. After looking at “the Google” it appeared that the next-door Jester King had acquired them. A few years back, JK had only done sour beers, but now they have expanded out a bit.

The location was very impressive and much of it looked relatively new.

Signs on the way mentioned “open spaces” and that’s just what we got. Lots of parking, although the new stone was a bit bumpy for my Lambo (a joke, but I do recommend NOT driving your supercar here). The line moved quickly, and we were there on a Sunday afternoon, which we expected to be busy. A quick proof of ID and the rest is done by phone with text notifications.

The main sitting area looked to be an old livestock barn, and there were plenty of tables with room for everyone. Live music at the front playing while we ordered drinks and some pizzas. The pizzas were all very good, and the garden salad was far better than expected for our plant-based companions. We shared a few cornbread cookies, and they were great, and many other items on the menu looked interesting / worth a try.

A hop garden led a path around the expansive property past a goat farm where it looks like you could feed and pet the animals. There was also a rental area for events and weddings and a tree covered area in the middle with more picnic tables.

Up near the main building were cornhole stations and other outside tables for families with children to sit while lamenting their decision to have kids. (kidding, sort of)

All in all, really great way to spend an afternoon and some outstanding people watching.

We didn’t go up to the main indoor Jester King brewery, but it looked like a quality establishment, and we shall return.
