Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden

Specialties

The name really says it all, we are committed to serving up the highest quality homemade sausage and local and hard to find craft beer right here in Austin. With one of the largest tap systems in Austin, 103 taps to be exact, we’re sure that there is some on our wall you will love. Our on staff Certified Cicerone selects local Texas brews along with other craft beer across the country and there are never duplicate beers on our tap wall. Just about all of our sausage is made in house and we feature 30 different types that are sure to satisfy any appetite.

At the end of the day Banger’s is all about being a wonderful place to eat, drink and hangout. Not too rowdy, not too laid back, just a good old fashioned good time. We understand that the best way isn’t always the fastest or easiest way, and we’re ok with that. We believe that quality food, made from scratch, can still be sold at an honest price. We have a commitment to excellence and deeply believe in the principal of hospitality.

Oh, and we almost forgot to mention our live music stage that was built into the back of a 107 year old house. This one of a kind concept, unique to Austin, strives to embody the soul of the city.

History

Established in 2012.

Banger’s was founded by University of Texas alumni Ben Siegel as an excuse to move back to the city he loved and to also get out of a job that he hated. After eating about a thousand different sausages at The Best Wurst cart during his college years, Siegel felt inspired. He wanted to open a restaurant focused primarily on sausage and maybe, just maybe, create the greatest beer bar in the country as well. So after seven years of selling commercial real estate in California he rolled the dice and moved back to Austin.

Aided by his fraternity brother and co-​founder Adam Glick, they raised some money from their buddies, purchased two adjacent lots on Rainey Street, hired a badass chef, bought a ton of beer, and the rest is history.
