Scholz Garten is a living piece of Texas history—the oldest continuously operating business in Austin and one of the oldest biergartens in America, open since 1866. The massive outdoor biergarten, complete with long communal tables and towering oak trees, is where Austin has gathered for over 150 years. On UT football Saturdays, the energy is electric. On quiet weekday evenings, the pace is gentle and the conversation flows freely. German-style food, cold beer, and a sense of continuity with Austin's past make this a must-visit.
