Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden

Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden 200+ beers on tap, 20+ homemade sausages, an off-leash dog park, & a live music stage in the heart of downtown Austin.

We are now open with limited seating and new protocols, and we now ship sausage nationwide! 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 Ci

cerone 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.

CHARITY FUNDRAISER TOMORROW: Folks, this one’s personal. My amazing niece Zoe is fighting the good fight as a Student Visionary for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and we’re all in. This Saturday, we’re donating 10% of ALL sales to help her crush her fundraising goal. Why? Because back in 2020, LLS-funded treatments helped her grandfather, Rob, beat lymphoma. Without their research, he wouldn’t be here telling bad dad jokes today.

Zoe’s following in her dad’s footsteps (my brother-in-law Rich won the first Visionary award!) but she’s aiming to blow his fundraising record out of the water. That’s family competition we can all get behind.

So grab your friends, bring your appetite, and join us this Saturday. Your beer and brats are literally saving lives. Every sausage, every beer, every single dollar you spend helps fund cancer research that gives families like mine more time together. We’ll see you when you get here. Let’s do this thing!

With Love,

Ben & The Banger’s Family

House-made mortadella ella ella ella aye aye aye ayyyyeee (along with salami & coppa too!). That's right folks, there are a lot of sub shops in town and they all have their own version of an Italian Sub. But, how many of them make ALL their own meats in house? I think you know the answer . . . We'll see you when you get here . . .

Wait a second . . . those Manmosas look a little different. What's going on? Well, cranberry is what's going on. That's right folks. While most opt for the standard orange juice, some have gone cranberry. Some . . . even a mix of the two. Man . . . it's your mosa . . . you do you.

PEACH & RED SNAPBACK! It’s one of our best and fastest selling merch items of all time, and it’s the perfect summer accessory. Perfect anytime accessory, really, so order online or snag one in the restaurant. It’s been scientifically proven that wearing this hat while eating a sausage or drinking a beer makes it taste better (just ask .foodie), so next time you’re at Banger’s, ask your bartender or server to hook you up. 🤠
