I just have to say that the younger Hispanic dude that served me today was so nice and inviting but also made the best drink I’ve had in the 3 years I’ve been coming here. It’s sucks when the night time bartenders come because they all have attitudes and treat you like trash. And they’re all the white ones who apparently are all in a relationship together. It’s really draining and saddening how the atmosphere changes once one of them come in. Nothing but attitude and dirty looks till they see I’m a good tipper. They really need to hire new guys that aren’t in that polyamorous relationship who can actually be nice fun and have a good vibe. This is 3 years of coming here and dealing with these guys over and over again. The iron bear needs to do better. These guys are making your business look bad to the community!!!! Please replace them

So many good times here. Literally everyone that works there is great. Always one of the best spots in town, especially on Sundays. Very few ATX bars make you feel as comfortable as this place. I always bring friends here when they visit & they love it. They’re always surprised at how good the food is. I stop in occasionally for lunch just for the buffalo chicken sandwich. Seem to be doing a lot of new theme nights lately which has been a lot of fun. Definitely recommend checking em out.

Fun spot to hangout with friendly bartenders. On Sundays, highly recommend getting a Bloody Maria with Tequila. The bartender made one of the best ones I’ve had to date.

I am travelling alone and found this lovely bar purely by chance. I felt safe and welcome, the staff were super friendly, and the quesadilla were delicious. If I lived in Austin this would be a regular spot for me. Oh, and they have karaoke nights. Just saying.

Went on a non-busy night (Tuesday) and the bartender was more concerned with having a good time than serving paying customers. Visited a few days before and the bartender from Saturday was working as the bar back and unable to serve even though he acknowledged and made an effort. Get your staff in order.

I ordered the Sleepy Bear Burger. It came with cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, a fried egg and a special sauce. It came with plenty of fries and a side of ketchup. The bartender was really sweet. I definitely want to try more food, because I really enjoyed the burger.

The Iron Bear is the best gay bar in Austin! Great food, friendly faces, and great music/atmosphere! I would recommend this place to anyone who is supportive of the LGBTQIA + family!
