Full Circle Bar, 1810 E. 12th St., serves canned American craft beer and provides a home to Austin's local chapter of Brewskee-Ball, the first ever national Skee-Ball league. "We're very happy to finally open a special home dedicated to Brewskee-Ball Austin, where league rollers and new friends and neighbors can play and celebrate great games like Skee-Ball and cornhole while enjoying awesome beer, food and fun," co-owner Eric Pavony said via email. The first Full Circle Bar opened in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 2009. That same year, Austin's chapter of Brewskee-Ball started at The Scoot Inn in East Austin. Weekly cornhole tournaments will begin soon at the bar utilizing the cornhole garden complete with four courts. Full Circle Bar also serves food and is available for parties.
