Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew
North Loop craft 'cue you don't have to plan your day around
Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, Texas.
Stiles Switch brings a neighborhood-pub sensibility to Central Texas barbecue on North Lamar, and that combination is exactly the appeal. It's the kind of place where you can grab a craft beer, catch the game, and eat genuinely excellent brisket without organizing your entire day around a sold-out counter or a dawn arrival.
The brisket holds its own against the city's celebrated names — firm bark, deep smoke ring, fat rendered clean — and the jalapeño sausage is a must-order link with a peppery kick. Smoked chicken stays juicy, and the sides case is deeper than a pub's has any right to be. Daily hours and a full craft beer list make Stiles Switch the most livable of Austin's top spots: serious smoke served in a room built for lingering, not for lining up.
