Lake Travis Biergarten

Lake Travis Biergarten combines two of Austin's favorite pastimes — outdoor recreation and cold beer — with 2 outdoor pickleball courts overlooking Lake Travis off Ranch Road 620. It's not your typical pickleball destination, but that's exactly the point. The courts are set in a scenic Hill Country lakeside setting that makes the whole experience feel like a day trip rather than just a game.

Court rental is required, and reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the full venue — beer garden, live music, and lake views — draws a crowd. This isn't the spot for serious training or competitive play. It's ideal for a mixed group where some people want to play and others are happy watching with a drink in hand.

Food and drinks are available on-site, the bar and restaurant make it easy to extend the outing well beyond your court time, and the lake views add a backdrop you won't find anywhere else in the Austin pickleball scene. Equipment rental may be available — confirm when booking. Located about 30 minutes from central Austin off 620, it's a worthwhile drive for a social outing.
