Mort Subite Belgian Beer Bar - Austin, Texas

I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how awesome and cool this place is! Who even invests in serving Trappist beer these days? With over 90k craft breweries in the U.S., this place completely blew my mind. I can’t believe I didn’t ask the names of the amazing staff—the woman with the colorful hair and the coolest guy in Austin with blonde hair. They were incredible! I loved them so much that I even suggested they should teach more people how to appreciate the great stuff they have. I’m certain once people walk in and try any of their beers, they’ll never go anywhere else. And don’t even get me started on the Spanish food truck—huge shoutout to that couple for serving such incredible food! Thanks, Austin, and thanks to everyone there!

A fun place for Belgian beers and wine nestled in the heart of downtown. The beers are interesting and there’s plenty of seating with an outdoor area right near Congress for good people watching. The staff are friendly and helpful when picking out a beer.

MG the bartender was super nice and really inviting. Just from the get go, we loved the place because of her! The ambience is very authentic and Belgium like. Love the music and it’s very chill. Good AC and has a great Spanish food tuck in the back. Highly recommend

First time in Austin, we stopped in for a Belgium beer and loved it! I’m not a huge beer drinker but the beer was amazing. Also, the staff was very friendly and had some great recommendations.

Right in the heart of Austin, Mort Subite delivers the authentic charm of a "locals" bar in Europe.

The atmosphere is cozy. You quickly get the vibe that there are a lot of long-term regulars, and guests are welcomed with open arms.

Mort curates one of the best lists of Belgian beer in the United States. Occasionally, they serve cheese made by the same monks who brew the beer.

The bartenders are more than happy to explain the list at a level that is accessible to any customer. When I'm there, I am reminded of the crowd in the neighborhood bar down the block from my dorm, when I was a student in Paris.

Best of all, the food truck out back delivers great Spanish food with an authentic attention to detail.

Mort delivers a trip to a good neighborhood bar in Europe, without the inconvenience of air travel.

A must stop for any Belgian beer fan, this cozy place has an incredible selection of Belgian beers, and the management is clearly very knowledgeable and dedicated to quality and atmosphere.

The food truck outside is perhaps incongruously Spanish, but it's great. So you can have a tortilla clasica while sipping a Saison Dupont and gambas al ajillo with your geuze.

Hands down the best bar in Austin - the atmosphere is fantastic, the drinks are fairly priced, poured to perfection, and the staff is the best part! Adam and Bryan are masters of their craft and provide the most warm of welcomes. This bar feels like a home!

Fantastic craft beer place. Best I've been to in years. Draft beers are amazing. All-gender bathrooms. Great service (MJ and Andrew). Out Of Nowhere food truck (Miriam) is excellent. Provides water for adequate hydration.
