Black Sheep Lodge

Black Sheep Lodge is built for watching games on its patio, a dozen picnic tables under ceiling fans and heat lamps with enough screens scattered around that there is no bad seat. The kitchen runs nearly the same menu as its sister bar Haymaker, wings and a long draft list included. The fans and lamps keep the patio workable most of the year. Order the wings and grab a picnic table facing a screen.

Time Out Austin describes a South Lamar room that fills up on loud conversation, big burgers and draft beer, and calls the chili the dark horse of its city roundup. The pot starts with angus chuck beef and some bacon, then takes on onion, jalapenos, garlic and a house blend of chili spices. Beans, Fritos and sour cream go on afterwards as add-ins rather than into the simmer. Order a bowl with Fritos, and one of those burgers if you are staying a while.
