Posse East

Posse East has been an Austin favorite since 1971, serving as a beloved gathering spot for over 50 years. This iconic establishment sits near the edge of Hyde Park, right next to the University of Texas campus and within walking distance of Darrel K. Royal Memorial Stadium, making it the perfect destination for college football fans and UT students alike.

The restaurant offers a casual, dive-bar atmosphere with both indoor seating and an outdoor patio where friends can meet, enjoy great food and drinks, and watch sports on multiple flat-screen TVs. Known for their delicious pub grub, Posse East serves up hearty favorites including their famous burgers (try the Triple Cheeseburger or Bison Burger), the Sheriff's Sandwich, and tasty club sandwiches with fries that regulars rave about.

What makes Posse East special is its rich history and connection to the UT community. Originally opened by a UT chemical engineering student as a way to financially get through college and have a place to enjoy with friends, the establishment has maintained its charm throughout the decades. Many former patrons return years later to relive memories and enjoy the same friendly atmosphere they remember.
