Hippies & Hops, Austin TX

The (two) Chinese chicken tacos were mediocre at best, dry meat, the promised avocado absent, and the whole thing presented on stale tortillas in a card board “dine in” container when I specifically requested “to go. ” Of course the price of $10 did not reflect the value in the least, but this is the airport and they have a pretty captive audience. The icing on the cake though, was the “bartender” John, who barely doing his job which only involved ringing up the food and handing over a can of beer, had the audacity to chide me for not giving him a tip that he apparently, by some miraculous delusion, believed he deserved just because he breathes. As many others have mentioned before me, this place is sub par, rude and overpriced

Best time I've ever had at an airport bar. Jeremiah is an Austin treasure. He deserves a raise.

Ridiculous prices, mediocre service, bland food. After I left, I walked down to my gate and passed several restaurants with draft beer at far lower prices and delicious looking BBQ. Lesson learned.

Ordered the cheapest wine (menu has no prices so you’re left to guess) and they just rung me up for $17! The wine they served me is a $6 bottle. While I get that prices are escalated in airports, everyone else seems to be able to do it $3-6 cheaper. Man! I should have shopped around. Never going to any of their establishments. I don’t even want this wine now. And it is confirmed that you can get wine next door for $11. Just ridiculous.

Canned beers in to-go style coolers are priced as if you’re getting it fresh from the tap and sitting at the bar. Beer prices not listed anywhere in cooler. Rip off.

Was just told that I’m not allowed to sit in one of their chairs unless I’m drinking alcohol. I asked to buy a water or anything non-alcoholic (because I’m sober) and was turned away. Unbelievable and disgusting. Zero stars is more appropriate.

Avoid this bar at all costs. Wine prices are 50% higher than the rest of the airport bars. $22 for 8oz glass of Ecco Domaine which is like an $8 bottle of Pinot Grigio in the stores. Total scam they don’t display prices either so you only find out when you check out.

A terrible greedy business that cares nothing about customer service. Puts profit FAR over caring for individual needs. You’re not allowed to sit there with any other drink or purchased item from them unless you buy an alcoholic beverage. Adult was disallowed from sitting there bc she is sober and yet a backpack was sitting in that seat 10 minutes later.
A greedy, uncaring, and discriminatory business.
DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS!

A nice selection of local beers. They are kind of expensive but it’s an airport ¯_ (ツ) _/¯

I had a really cool experience at this bar. It’s predominantly locally brewed beers from Austin or from Texas. They also offer a full menu from The Peached Tortilla just next door. The bar tender was an absolute gem. He was so helpful, happy to answer questions, and willing to let you try samples. If I find myself passing through Austin ever again this will be a regular spot for me. Good beer. Good food. Good company.
