Average review due to facility-- just tents outside to sit in, and it unfortunately was raining and freezing rain at the time. Bitter cold. But they had a nice bar inside, just could not allow customers to use it - guess due to weird COVID requirements. Beer was good, but we drank it fast due to the temp. Hope to go back and try it during normal times at some point.

Nice, small place. Employee was not very friendly or helpful. No tours offered at this location. Not able to sample anything without buying. Inside was clean, outside had fans and misters for hot summer temps.

Seems like a good bar, mostly locals, but also occasional tours of tourists stopping by for a beer tasting experience.
A wide variety of beers from IPAs, Stouts, fruit flavoured and many more, all brewed on the premises.
We sat outside which was very relaxing.
Friendly bar staff that are knowledgeable of all their beers and even happy to give you a free sample if you need help deciding.

This place was packed when we got there, but we were able to snag some seats at the bar within a few minutes... because if you're not at the bar you have to wait in line to order.. and the line was out the door all day! The girls behind the bar were great and the wide selection of beers were fantastic! One of my favorite breweries in Austin!

No visit to Austin is complete without stopping by at least 1 (or 10) of the many craft breweries. I had come across Zilker online before coming to Austin and wanted to come check it out for myself. So glad I did! They also have a solid offering of merchandise - it was tough not to spend a bunch of money! Great atmosphere, great beer!

Really fun place. Good beers. Lots of dogs to meet on the patio. Very good food from the Spicy Boys food truck on the premises. The best part was watching all the people go by on 6th. It was close to Christmas so we saw Santa and elves go by on horses, bike, skates, you name it!

We stopped in to get my daughter some spicy chicken nuggets from the food truck out in front. The adults had a beer and they were great. I love the east austin vibe!

We came to Zilker's early one afternoon and spent the rest of the night here. The seasonal Sour beer is really delicious, tons of flavor and refreshing. The patio out front is under shade and provides a great vantage point for people watching and hanging out.
If you're a few beers in and start to get hungry, there's a food truck on the premises with Asian chicken wings and seasoned tater tots.
Also, puppies are allowed! And they get tons of attention from other patrons. Bring them, people will love them.

We arrived just before noon and so the place was gratefully empty. We were greeted by Patrick and we was so nice and informative. The atmosphere was so cool! The beer was fantastic with so much variety. Definitely coming back.

We stumbled upon Zilker Brewing Co after walking around Austin during a very hot saturday afternoon. The bartenders were nice and helpful. Their selection isn't very large but still great. I ordered the pale ale and the session IPA in the small sampler glasses, super cute and the perfect size. I really enjoyed it
