There is not a single picture of a cow or a river in this bar. The food is good and so are the drinks but if you were expecting a bovine or river (or a combination) themed bar you will be disappointed.
Lived all over, and been around the world. I dont live in Austin anymore, but i still tell everyone that this is my favorite bar. Best bartenders, best management, best food. Love this place
I was told I had to write a good review or the bartender would hurt me and take my pint glass away..... Kidding, great place to kick back and relax with great bartenders and food & drinks!
Awesome food from Turf n Surf ( a lil pricey but worth it), friendly super fast service from yhe bartenders , and a chill atmosphere. One of my faves in downtown Austin!
LaVaca was great. Food delicious and staff were awesome! Highly recommend.
From the bouncer to the bartenders, just an amazing experience. Drinks are on point, plus all the ladies are fun and pretty ! ���
Lavaca Street....a great place to hang out for sporting events and ice cold beer. A good place to watch YOUR game and relax awhile.
Food is delicious and the portion sizes are huge definitely enough to share with a group!!! Great environment to meet people and hangout!!
best fish tacos in Texas bar none
great place for a quick eat
This bar is awesome ever since I've been a regular for the past 17 years ,it's a good spot hangout after work with your fellow co-workers especially if you're a restaurant-industry service worker.
Best bar with the best staff in Austin. Come here and drink for all your festivities!!
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good food & will certainly return when I am back in Austin. Highly recommended!

Awesome bar, great staff! Lots of tvs to watch your favorite team. :-)
Excellent bar right in the heart of downtown Austin. Drink and food prices were extremely fair. We enjoyed some chicken wings and hush puppies. The beer was ice cold, and the bartenders were all very nice. Also, the air conditioning was very good, which was refreshing on a very warm day.
Quick service. The food was good, not grest. The tacos were not super flavorful, but they were catfish, which i understand is mild. The atmosphere was loud but had good energy.
Nice divey bar connected to Turf and Surf. The drinks and atmosphere are great for a casual and low key night. Food at turf and surf is absolutely amazing and pairs well with a cold beer. Queso and nachos looked really good
Great downtown Austin bar! Love the new outdoor patio area in the back. It’s a popular stop for those party bikes so prepare for bachelorette parties. If you’re hungry, the Surf n Turf food spot is delicious
The bar is absolutely excellent, both in location and general vibe. The layout is welcoming to all, and my coworkers and I have even gone there just to grab lunch because it's so incredible!
I've been here a couple times now and they have not disappointed!
Nice bar with plenty of seating areas indoor and nice big patio in the back. There’s a po boy restaurant connected with a counter inside the bar, so you can order straight from inside the bar.
This place was a find. Good prices on food and drinks. Outdoor seating as long as you don't drink...I was inside. I loved the calamari and the Queso Guac & chips. It is deceptively large inside the place and goes back quite a ways.
Great place for the Wyoming pre game! Bartenders were fast and friendly.
While visiting Austin on a business trip I stopped in here to have lunch while I waited for my room to be ready. You seat yourself in the bar area and then ordered your food up at a window and get a number for it to be delivered when it was ready. The blackened chicken tacos were delicious and they're also quite large considering they were inexpensive. The chicken wings as well as the sweet potato fries were also great. The vibe was fun and relaxed and there was plenty of seating.
What do I like about Lavaca, it’s close to my office, it’s a sport bar and you can watch mostly all important sport events there, sounds great :), the food is really good and staff are friendly and take care of you very fast. However, the tables and seats are so close, that means minimum privacy, and tables are sticky and not clean. Other than that, anything else about Lavaca is great.

I don't know his name, but the guy at the counter was very nice. The gulf shrimp were so good, we went back the next day.
I’ve always been a fan of this bar, but recently they went above and beyond when I left my wallet in the bathroom. The manager found me on instragram to let me know she found my wallet and held it for me to get the next day. Amazing service! Thank you all so much!
This place was great. Super friendly service and massive food portions, everything definitelyis bigger in Texas. I really enjoyed the oyster shooters, although a couple of them were fairly sandy. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Crawfish Mac and cheese was the best.
Nice bar, great taco place inside. Good service when we were there around 6-7pm prior to a show at ACL. Been back multiple times.
This place was pretty great. There's a lot of selection and there's a back side of the bar that you can go and chill out at and watch plenty of different games on the TVs.
The food is great and so is the staff to me at least and so I would say come in hungry and humble and be ready to be full by the time you're done!!
Try the nachos in the fish was good too!
Back in November, I stopped by Lavaca for the second half of the early NFL Sunday slate and the place was packed. Every room had a variety of games on, and the place itself was seemingly never ending with another area behind another area behind another area. All of the games were on except, of course, the one I was interested in, but a bartender was accommodating and turned it on quickly as another game ended. All Staff were super friendly.
Drinks were made well; my guest and I both had Moscow mules but all the other drinks looked great.
All we had to eat were wings but the nachos and other dishes looked awesome. I will say the wings were a bit expensive, but they were exactly what I look for in bar wings. Would have loved some celery or carrot sticks, or some serving dishes, but the crumbled blue cheese was a nice touch.
Overall, great spot to catch any game and enjoy some bar food and drinks.
