Great place! Good food!  4 Star Rating - Very good

I've gone to Third base a number of times now for Wranglers watch parties and after-game parties. It's a BLAST! The food is good (they have GREAT fried pickles).

They have their own parking garage around back, so parking is always free and plentiful!

Lots of seating, nice big bar, usually pretty busy, but never so much that you can't get a seat.

It's got decent acoustics inside, so you don't feel like every TV is yelling at you. They also have outdoor seating and TV's mounted to the outside of the building as well.

Nice place to go to watch a game!

Horrid Beer Selection, Poor Management 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I used to love Third Base. They advertise "good" beer and "good" beer selection. Not so much. If you want macrobrewed domestics that you can get anywhere, go to Third Base. If you are looking for a tasty microbrew or two, find another place. As for the food, it is average, but pricey.

Now, here's the kicker. Not a fan of the management. I have set up a couple events with them. Reserved room. But, when we show up, we are greeted with "just find a place to stand." And, then constantly, "You can't stand here. We are serving the people at the tables." Not impressed.

On a positive note, the facilities are awesome. Bathrooms are great.

Pros: food, bathroom, tables
Cons: service, management, price, beer

WoW! Fun ! 5 Star Rating - World class

Went to Watch Cubs game the other day. I wish they had more of these, TV's everywhere and highquality. I got a Salad for lunch, It was huge and fresh not what i expected to see on the menu at a sports bar with a TON of beer, Yum Beer. Our Waitress was pretty cute too, Ill be back alot.

Pros: Good Food, All the games i could watch with my own eyes
Cons: not yet

good place to watch a game! 4 Star Rating - Very good

I highly recommend this place to watch a game! Much bigger than most sports bars and the food isn't have bad. The waitress was nice and didn't have attitude like some. I'll be going back for every game!

Best Sports Bar In Town! 5 Star Rating - World class

Third Base totally rocks! They have a decent selection of beer and liquor, plenty of open space so you don't feel crowded even if it is a packed night, and there is always an event going on that keeps me wanting to come back for more. The staff is also quick with their service and very personable. An example of this is last night I wanted a breath mint after having dinner there and they were all out, so the owner offers me a piece of gum instead! If you are looking for a place to watch the game, hang out with friends, or just to get out of the house, Third Base of Austin is where it's at.
