History

Established in 2008.

This bar was founded and built by childhood friends who were born and raised in Shiner, Texas. Everything, from the bar to the kitchen to the furniture, was built by the owners of Shiner’s Saloon. Using recycled Heart Pine from an 1800’s farm house, the wood that covers the bar and pillars is breathtaking. The custom built (by the owners) whiskey barrel bar stools are extremely comfortable and stylish. And the wagon wheel tables tie the whole place together.

As soon as you step though the saloon doors in front, you can tell this bar has heart and soul. The owners wanted to bring a little bit of rural Texas to Downtown Austin and create a comfortable neighborhood bar that is welcoming to everyone. The kitchen, which is open til 2am daily, even has ties to Shiner. All of the meat served in the kitchen (turkey, ham, and sausage) comes from Shiner, TX. And keeping with the owners’ roots, the kitchen definitely has a Czech/​German influence, with fresh baked food daily.

Meet the Business Owner

Brandon H.

Business Owner

Brandon was born and raised in Shiner, TX and moved to Austin to attend The University of Texas in 1998. Very soon after that he started working in the service industry to pay for school. Throughout his college career he worked at a number of different restaurants/​bars in Austin. He has held almost every job possible in the service industry — security, barback, bartender, assistant general manager and bar manager. He enjoyed working in the service industry and always knew that he wanted to own his own business. After graduating from UT, he and one of my childhood friends decided to live the American dream and go for it. This bar is his pride and joy, he loves what he does and hope you stop by sometime. Cheers!
