At the end of the day, Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden 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.As our name says we are a sausage house (with over 20 house made varieties), a beer garden (with over 200 taps) but much more than that too. We are a culinary compound of sorts. We operate a smokehouse serving up a variety of BBQ and live fire dishes. We operate arguably the best sub shop in the city making all of our meats right here in house. Outside of food and drink we have a dedication to live music and our own brand of Texas authenticity that has a heavy dose of Austin oddity mixed in with the traditional. On top of all that our hospitality is second to none. We are on your side and are here to ensure you have a fantastic time. We are more than a restaurant, we are a destination and a full blown experience. We look forward to meeting you and we’ll see you when you get here!

    We came to Red Ash to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and the experience exceeded every expectation. I’ve been trying to get a reservation here for years, and after finally making it in, I can confidently say it was worth the wait. Growing up on the East Coast, we really miss great Italian food, and it’s hard to find in Austin. Red Ash absolutely blew us away. Every dish was exceptional, the service was warm and attentive, and the staff went above and beyond to make my mom feel special on her birthday. She even said it was one of her favorite meals she’s ever had in Austin, and everyone at the table left happy and impressed. From the food to the hospitality to the overall experience, everything was phenomenal. Red Ash is officially one of my favorite restaurants in Austin, and I can’t wait to come back.

    A cozy ambience. It’s tucked on the 7th floor of a hotel, so if you don’t know that it could be confusing to find. We had the Lamb lollipops as an appetizer that were amazing. The Chilean Sea Bass was also done exceptionally well. The only downside is that it’s hard to have a conversation it’s so loud.
