Banger's anchors Rainey Street with one of the largest draft beer selections in Texas — over 100 taps — paired with excellent house-made sausages in a sprawling outdoor beer garden. It's lively, social, and genuinely fun with live music most nights on the back stage. The crowds can be intense on Friday and Saturday nights, so weekday evenings offer a more relaxed version of the same great experience. A must-visit for craft beer lovers.
