We booked the "Eastside tour" w/ Hipside Peddler on Saturday, 11/14/2020 to celebrate my friends 40th birthday & we had so much FUN! This was my 1st time so I had no idea what to expect but I can say that I am so glad that we were able to safely celebrate my friend's milestone birthday during this time of pandemic craziness. Since sharing is caring here are a few of my "Helpful Tips", "FYIs", & "Likes"... FYI: *You will be peddling the same way you would if riding a bike so be mindful of your foot wear & you will be getting a mini workout while peddling. *There are mini fans above each seat that you can turn on, if needed. *The peddle boat driver does have a plexiglass barrier between him & the passengers as a COVID safety precaution & the peddle boat itself is all open w/out any walls. *You can tip your peddling boat driver in cash & via Venmo. *The "Eastside" tour is 2 hours long & we made 3 separate stops at different local bars for 15-20 mins each so you can use the restroom, cool off, take a few pictures w/ your peeps and/or buy a drink while relaxing at each bar. Our awesome peddle boat driver was Matt & he also made a 4th stop at an Italian ice truck. *Each passenger must submit a liability waiver & you can do it electronically. Once your tour has been booked, you will get the waiver emailed to you. Helpful Tip(s): *BEVERAGES~I recommend that you bring your own ice chest already filled w/ ice & beverages (no glass containers are allowed) & there is an open area in the middle of the peddle boat for ice chest storage. *FOOD~only snacks are allowed & I suggest you bring snacks that are easy to munch on since you will be peddling while eating them. ( ex: mini bags of pretzels, individually wrapped cookies) *MUSIC~The peddle boat does have a stereo system that is very loud & has a usb that you can connect your phone to for music. I highly recommend that you create a music playlist of songs that help set the vibe that you're going for. I made a playlist using Spotify of all the songs I wanted to play. Lastly, I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Matt, who was our p.d driver because he really did a GREAT job of explaining "all things peddle boat" :) & putting us at ease so we could fully enjoy ourselves. This was so appreciated because each of us were newbie peddle boat passengers. Stay AWESOME Hipside Peddler & for sure I'll be seeing you again very soon! ~Rebecca out

Hipside Peddler was way more fun than anticipated! I went on the East Side Ride with a group of…read morefriends and Max really took care of us. He was very personable, patient and flexible with how we spent the allotted time. It was a great outing and a very different experience! On the evening I went it was just our smaller group on the tour so we had full control of the jams, cooler and schedule. We definitely held up traffic a bit when on some of the main roads but the motorists and bystanders we came across waved and cheered us on. Thankfully there is a motor on board so it's not necessary to be fully exerting yourself peddling. Recommend for a fun activity. Ask for Max!

While visiting Austin, the wife and I stopped in at this place because it looked like a lot of fun…read more It was Monday evening, July 13, around 6:00 p.m. It's located downtown on the corner of a high-rise, and the atmosphere immediately caught our attention. We got a table pretty quickly in a smaller section, which was nice because it wasn't very crowded where we were sitting, even though there were several larger groups elsewhere in the restaurant. One thing to know before you go: check to see if there's a special event scheduled. Events can close the entire place for the evening, so it's worth checking ahead of time. We spent about an hour and a half there. Our table ordered a variety of food, and everything we had was good. The servers were very attentive and kept our drinks filled throughout the evening. I had two Old Fashioneds, and they were excellent. All in all, we spent about $168. Between the food, drinks, attentive service, and fun downtown atmosphere, it was a great evening and a place we'd gladly visit again.

My friend Shannon G. and I ended up at Electric Shuffle on a whim. We had been bar hoping on Rainey…read moreand spotted Electric Shuffle off the beaten path. We figured we would stop in for a drink before ending our night. I hadn't heard of Electric Shuffle so I didn't realize it was a shuffleboard bar. When I walked in and looked around, it had an odd familiarity to it. It then dawned on me that it reminded me of Flight Club and I found out later in the evening that it is owned by the same hospitality group. We sat at the bar. James was our bartender and he was the only one behind the bar for most of the night. He was very friendly and attentive (I don't think my water glass was ever empty). Just like Flight Club, they offer both food and drinks. There's a decent amount of tables throughout the space for patrons who aren't playing shuffleboard. I wanted to order the Cucumber Elderflower G+T, but James informed me that they ran out of Elderflower. None of the other gin and vodka drinks piqued my interest so I switched it up and went with a Ranch Water. It was really good and I liked that it was dressed with Tajin and lime. Shannon had a Watermelon Sugar Mojito which she enjoyed. We didn't play shuffleboard, but we did walk around. Some of the shuffleboards were in semi-private rooms, while others were out in the main dining area. There's four different game modes and everything is digital which is convenient for score keeping. We absolutely loved the decor. They had throwback vinyl, cassette tapes, and CDs as well as Walkmans, boomboxes, and record players. It was super cool and nostalgic. I've never played shuffleboard, but it looks like a lot of fun. We loved the chill vibe of the bar and it was a great place to end our night.

I got the mocktail that was mojito themed and it was very refreshing. The views, always unmatched. Golden hour & sunset? Even better. Later, I asked if I could take the leftover food they were packing up because I know the food industry recommends disposing of them. They gave me a whole bag! Unfortunately I didn't realize the pasta salad given wasn't the one I wanted I did get to have the cheese pastry and two of the breakfast sandwiches for breakfast the following days.

From Brandon, to Captain John, to staff and crew - everyone was amazing to work with. The day of the event was perfect and seamless. I could not have asked for anything to have been different. Everyone had a great time and raved about the day. We ordered food through them and it was delicious and high quality. We had a professional chef as a party attendant on the boat and he gave high marks. Some with dietary restrictions were impressed with options and accommodations - all that of that was coordinated through Lake Austin Riverboats - everything was perfect. The crew was amazing and so welcoming to the guests and truly contributed to the experience. Book your event - you will not be disappointed.

I was invited to an event at Quince, which included a boat ride with Austin Riverboat. The…read morerestaurant's staff was outstanding--welcoming, friendly, and highly professional. That level of service carried over to most of the staff on the boat, making the experience even more enjoyable. During the event, I was introduced to Paul, who was seated with a group of friends. He was introduced to me as the boat owner and came across as relaxed and not at all pushy--qualities I appreciate when considering a business, especially since part of my motivation for attending was to explore options for my birthday celebration. Unfortunately, Paul's friends left a negative impression. A couple of them outright refused to acknowledge me, turning away when a gentleman attempted to introduce me. Others made inappropriate jokes about my accent in a condescending and offensive manner. One individual even made vulgar comments, implying that Paul should get my phone number to discuss event planning details later, which was completely unprofessional and inappropriate. While the event itself was enjoyable, the boat ride interesting, the behavior of those around the boat owner and the fact that the boat owner never replied to my text message trying to discuss my event, was disappointing and detracted from my overall experience. This experience left me with a negative impression of the boat's management, and I strongly feel that they are not welcoming to immigrants. The group consisted of older white men whose behavior was filled with prejudice and hostility. And for that reason I felt compelled to post a review discouraging people like me- and those against this type of behavior - to stay away and make better choices. We can use our money to invest in a much better experience elsewhere I left the boat traumatized and truly disgusted by those old men behaviors. Do better!

From the start, Don was responsive and upfront about his pricing, equipment, or any other questions we had. We received our videos just few weeks after the wedding, and we were able to immediately share the videos digitally with family members who were unable to attend, which was such a joy. During the actual wedding, Don did a great job of keeping a low profile but still capturing all the key moments. He also had fabric tape handy for me when one of my dress straps was loose. That small detail really stuck out to me, because it shows a extra level of professionalism and client service that exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend ILC Films to anyone in Texas!

Don and his crew did a day-of video at the reception from all the footage they captured throughout the day and it was incredible! I also have to add it was an amazing experience to watch the highlights while surrounded by our guests. People have approached me since the wedding raving about the video - and I know some people even went directly to the video team to request their information because they were so impressed by their work! I can't wait for my own copy of the video to share with all the guests who could not make it to the wedding :) I highly recommend ILC Films for any event - Don and his team truly go above and beyond and are such a pleasure to have around. Their attention to detail is perfect and they truly captured the most beautiful and special moments from my wedding! Thanks so much, ILC! I am so grateful to have had you as one of our vendors! It was one of, if not the best, decision we made regarding the wedding.
