Kick Back at These 4 Bars in the Expanding Mueller Community

Mueller in Northeast Austin started 10 years ago as a 700-acre community. It has grown into a thriving, developed neighborhood. With public parks, farmers’ markets, and some of Austin’s hottest businesses, Mueller has it all.

It’s about time someone created a bar crawl guide for the expanding Mueller neighborhood. The Austin spots on this list are nestled within a small, walkable area on the east side of I-35, in the main Mueller development.

1/ Barrel O’ Fun at Alamo Drafthouse Mueller

The new Barrel O’ Fun bar is more than deserving of its name! Choose between 45 beer taps and the soda fountain-themed cocktail menu (with an emphasis on barrel-aged offerings). Whatever it is you like, swing by for a drink or two to feel like a kid again.

Note that Barrel O’ Fun is kid-friendly only until 8 p.m. After that, it’s grown-up party time!

2/ B.D. Riley’s Irish Pub

If you’re searching for the vibe and taste of an Irish pub, head to B.D. Riley’s Irish Pub in Mueller. Just keep your eyes open for the large golden tap handle and the bright red entrance.

Here you’ll find both Irish and local craft-brewed beers, alongside an upscale pub menu. B.D. Riley’s has all the fun, traditional Irish decor you could want, plus ample outdoor seating.

3/ WhichCraft Beer Store

Beer lovers are in heaven at WhichCraft’s new Mueller location. There’s an extensive wall of taps, room for groups, free Wi-Fi, and locally-roasted coffee. But it’s the staff members who will make your visit a great experience. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an advanced beer drinker, new to craft beer, or “hate” beer, the WhichCraft team can find the craft beer (or cider or mead!) for you.

4/ L’oca D’oro

Don’t miss a stop by L’oca D’oro, an Italian restaurant in Mueller with light and modern eats. The relaxed environment makes it a great place to enjoy a glass of wine. Pair the wine with light appetizers while you enjoy the view of Mueller neighborhood park through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
