Great, great GRRRRReat bar!

I noticed a "bad" review on here for this bar and I'm not one to post reviews for most of anything but Iron Bear is a FANTASTIC bar. The staff is incredible, the space is great and the management/owners actually listen to their clients. I'm not sure why "outandabout" had such a poor experience but you should give them another shot. The Iron Bear has definitely set themselves up to be an Austin staple. Great bar, guys. Thanks for the great times and looking forward to many, many more.

Awesome bar!

This bar is great. Went last Sunday for a beer bust. Lots of friendly guys. One of the owners actually came up and talked to me and made sure I was having a great time. I will definitely be back!
