Rank 2. Draught House Pub & Brewery
Beer Bar
The line at this Rosedale brewpub sometimes spills into the parking lot, which tells you most of what you need to know. It's been around forever, pours a serious range of craft beer, and keeps the food exactly where it belongs: fish and chips, hot dogs, chili cheese fries. Grab a spot at the big bar or drag yourself out to the patio, where the furniture looks assembled from good intentions and spare parts.

Rank 2. Mort Subite Belgian Beer Bar
Belgian Beer Bar
Twenty-four Belgian taps gleam behind the bar, and the bottle list runs past forty deep. This is a Belgian beer bar in the truest sense, with Trappist ales, hefeweizens, and pilsners anchoring the list alongside a few Central Texas picks for local color. The exposed brick and silver hardware make the room feel appropriately serious. If you're celebrating something, the move is sabering a giant bottle of Deus and drinking it from champagne glasses, which is ridiculous and correct.
