Longhorns vs. Ohio State: Where to Watch in Austin

No ticket? No worries. The Longhorns are kicking off their season on the road tomorrow, and while they’ll be battling Ohio State away from home, Austin has no shortage of spots rolling out the burnt-orange carpet. Big screens, cold drinks, family fun, and even $2 hot dogs — there’s a perfect game day hangout for every fan.

The Horns are favored 53.3% to win (Hook ’em), so grab your crew and check out these local watch-party hot spots:

🤘 Central Machine Works | 4824 E. Cesar Chavez St.
Go big or go home — this East Side brewery is showing the game on a massive 7-ft x 11.5-ft projector. Specials include $4 orange jello electrolyte shots, $7 frozens, $9 for nine wings, $15 beer pitchers, and $15 pizzas.

🤘 Este | 2113 Manor Rd.
Yes, you can cheer on the Horns and eat MICHELIN-recommended fish tacos. Try $10 signature margaritas, $8 fish tacos, 25% off bottles of wine, and a happy hour menu from 12–5 p.m.

🤘 Fareground | 111 Congress Ave.
