Glass Half Full

If you stay close to closing time the bartender (short girl with dark brown hair) will treat you poorly and make your drinks bad. She threw an orange slice onto the bar and then continued put it in the drink. She was very verbal about not wanting to make our drinks even though the bad didn’t close for 45 minutes and we were the only people in the bar so we could hear her. As we walked out she did not thank us or acknowledge us being there.
Very rude service.
On the other hand our server was very polite and kind. He checked on us frequently and always had a smile on his face.

A good choice of a sweet drink for the ladies could be the «Love Bug»…and for the month of October a «Crimson Peak»

Bartender busy but she makes a great vodka gimlet! Very nice vibe, very low key — even though located inside same building as movie theater. Will be coming back!

When we’re seeing a movie at the Alamo Lakeline location, we always have a beer or two first at the bar of Glass Half Full. Yes, I’m well aware they serve beer inside the theater but hey — it’s important to know what’s on tap beforehand! The selection is almost completely local brews, including everything from Adelbert’s to Infamous. The service here is great and we’ve always been able to snag a few seats at the bar. If it’s full, there is a fair amount of communal seating available.
However, I do wish they rotated their tap offerings more often. I always lean more towards trying something new rather than sticking with what I know and on our last visit both beers I chose were repeats.

I love this place. Yes it is small and some seating is communal but they have a gorgeous covered patio with misters that will be wonderful in good weather. Don’t hate on them until we get out of August, geesh! Much better beer selection than Flix in Round Rock and very knowledgeable staff and barkeep.
They are learning and the place is new but they’ll get it together and you can’t beat the happy hour deals on a great beer list. Our new favorite outing is a beer or two in the Half Full bar, followed by a movie and burger/​pizza in the theater!

Glass Half Full is a new bar connected to the recently opened Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline location. The bar has a tap list that would please any beer connoisseur. In addition they have a full bar with a cocktail list and wine.
The bar itself is rather small and made up of communal tables lined with bar stools. The décor is somewhat rustic in color with exposed brick and walls dawn the phrase «Made in America». You also can order drinks just outside the bar on the patio which is also somewhat awkwardly one of the entrances. The outside area has comfortable seating and misting fans making it more bearable in the Texas summer heat.
The beers they pour are diverse and they have lots of local brews. Some of the local taps include Adelbert’s, Real Ale, Austin Beer Works, Independence, Hops & Grain, Rogness, Jester King, Circle and Thirsty Planet. The printed beer menu is categorized by «seasonal», «smooth and balanced», «weird and wonderful», «crisp and refreshing», «dark and rich» and «for hop heads». The taps are also written on chalkboards above the taps. They have some custom made Glass Half Full cocktails which are a twist on classic drinks and run $ 10. They also have beer mixes like their Elderflower Snake Bite with beer, cider and St. Germain that all run $ 6. And the classic cocktail are $ 9.
We went last night and found both the bar and outside area well staffed. They were pretty busy and they poured and made drinks quickly. We sat at the bar and ordered a Cannibal Chianti and a Manhattan. I was already a fan of the Chianti which they serve at the other locations. The Manhattan was off their classic cocktails list and was made pretty strong. Based on the price point and size of cocktails being served I would probably stick to the beer, beer mixes and wines here.
Service was excellent! I love we now have an Alamo with a sit down bar to enjoy a drink before and/​or after a movie. I do wish the inside bar was larger. We arrived at 5:50 p.m. on a Monday. When we left for our movie at 6:20 p.m. we were crowded by people trying to order a drink and it was near standing room only. But as mentioned before they do have outdoor seating.
TIPs: They have happy hour! Happy hour is Monday-​Friday from 4 p.m. — 7 p.m. $ 1 off draft beers and specialty drinks and $ 5 wells.
Unlike 400 Rabbits they do not currently serve food in the bar so don’t come here too hungry.
