Has anybody been there? I don't see any reviews on BA, nor do I think I've seen it on any of the "Heading to Austin this weekend, where should I go?" threads. I noticed that Circle is having a glass night there tonight and was just curious if anyone had any thoughts. Looking at their facebook page, I see they have some pictures of some pretty awesome taps, including H&G Greenhouse. Plenty of bottles/cans and growlers to go. 11th street isn't a hipstery area, is it? I may have to give this place a shot.
Yeah its pretty great. Beer selection is good, not great. All drafts are $5. East 11th is super hip, but hipsters aren't going to bother you.
I have mixed feelings on the place. They have a decent selection of bottles + taps. Breakfast tacos were very mediocre. I've yet to try the other food. Biggest complaint - takes forever to check out. There always seem to be a lot of people working, but hardly anyone giving a shit about checking out customers. As far as the H&G Greenhouse - I think that was a one time special tap night. I haven't seen it there beyond that day. They do growler fills, too, but I'm unsure on the prices.
Thanks guys. I resorted to Yelp reviews which seemed to mention hipsters quite frequently. They don't bother me unless they're unreasonably loud about how much they know about beer. I guess I'll do a little recon this weekend by just picking up a bottle or two.
Complaining about there being hipsters in East Austin is akin to complaining about there being zebras in Africa. It's to be expected. . It's their natural home.
There weren't that many when I lived on E 6th about 7 years ago. I guess I need to start studying their migratory patterns.
