This was stop 1 of the Austin Eats tour and I would’ve been happy just to stay here all day! It’s in a very new gentrified area of Austin with new apartments, shops and restaurants popping up. We will most definitely be back! Giselle C., 4 years ago I don’t think I’ve ever seen that kind of thoughtfulness in a restroom anywhere! I was also pleasantly surprised by the “amenities” in the ladies’ room…everything from hairspray to bobby pins and “monthly supplies” (you girls know what I mean). I was really impressed by the friendly customer service by the staff. We didn’t get any food because we had already eaten, but I chose a Prodigal Pils (German Pilsner) that came in a 16 oz pint glass. The menu is not extensive, but there are quite a few beers and wines, as well as food offerings and their own brew of coffee. We noticed that there were quite a few people on their laptops there, which is pretty cool, because I’d love to get some work down with a nice cold brew! There’s a cozy corner that looks like someone’s living room (with a disco ball deer head). It’s a beautiful space with a TON of seating, both indoors and out. We didn’t want anything rowdy…enter Lazarus Brewing. I was in Austin for work and took the hubs along with me…last night, we went out to dinner and wanted to grab a drink, but we’re just not the party animals we used to be, so we weren’t super familiar with the bar offerings on 6th street. Whether it’s your first time or your last, or you have people visiting from out of town, Lazarus is a spot you have to go! Brews, doggos, and tacos. I mean that’s all you want when going to a brewery right? They’re attentive and enjoy their job (or at least they look like they do). Like all Austin breweries, the staff here are amiable, kind, and knowledgeable. Read the menu and taste them for yourselves!! My personal favorites are the Desperaux (French saison) and Amandus (Belgian golden ale). What makes Lazarus selection good is that all their brews cover that exact spectrum I enjoy. On colder days I enjoy a Belgian ales or porters. On warmer days I enjoy a good blonde or pils. I’m personally a seasonal kind of beer drinker. It doesn’t feel cramped, and there are doggos of course. What makes it a 5/5 for me is how open and welcoming the place is. The last-ish part is a covered outdoor seating that edges into the outside picnic tables. It probably has a better, official name, but I forgot to ask. And my favorite the barrel room (that isn’t always open from my past visits).

There’s of course the inside with the bar, couches, and high tables. Much like all the awesome patio breweries, Lazarus has 4ish distinct seating areas. For the amount of people (and doggos), the WiFi connection wasn’t pretty good. Came here on a relatively busy Friday afternoon to finish up on some work with my coworker and her doggo. One of the staples and must go’s anytime of the year in East Austin! Whomever visits me here I always take them to Lazarus (and of course Whislers). Definitely an underrated spot to come by during the day and hang out even if you’re not drinking. I think for a brewery their coffee is surprisingly good and they change their pour over offerings pretty often. They’re definitely a solid option if you’re here and happen to be hungry, but if tacos are specifically what you’re looking for I think you’ll be disappointed. I’ve had quite a few people rave to me about their tacos and I personally don’t get the hype. They often have new intriguing offerings, but even within styles of beer I’ve had a really wide range of experiences. The big one is of course the beer, I’ve definitely found some here that I like, but as someone who’s pretty curious in their ordering, the inconsistency here can be a bit frustrating. The only reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is that the 2 big food/drink items you’d come here for are just okay. If you’re looking for a hang out spot the environment outside is awesome and given their large space I’ve never had issues getting a seat outside. There’s plenty of outlets and tables for people with laptops. I think Lazarus is a great spot for both. I’ve hung out here a good bunch of times both during the day to get some work done and to grab drinks on the weekend.
