What a great place! Packed for the UT game but plenty of seating both inside and outside. Love the chill vibe and lots of tv's to watch a couple of games. The pretzel bites with the mustard dips were good and the beer was cold. Our waitress was nice and kept us hydrated and fed. read more

Been a very long time since we been here and it should have been sooner. We visit So many places some just fall to the back burner. This was our first stop before the Blue Man Group show....Just appetizers this round...Serve was great...Had the Friday Margarita special...was a perfect way to start...we settled on 3 different Apps...Gruyere Dip with house chips....Tasted awesome and the chips were amazing....Sausage balls....my personal favorite, only down side is I had to share and the pretzel bites. All 3 definitely hit the spot. read more

Awesome sports bar. Tons of tvs and lots of seating deprecated into two sections to accommodate multiple parties at the same time. Outdoor bench seating with tvs a misters was nice. Good beer selection and hustling staff. Great spot read more

This place was jumping when I walked in. It feels a little tucked away but it's so big you can't really miss it. The wings were okay, the burger was better. They have a solid food menu. The only things I didn't really like were the hard chairs but I can get over that read more

This a cool sports bar to watch games. We finished a playoff game here and it was fun. Great drinks and service. Didn't get to eat there but everything looked good and the place was packed. Good signs for me! read more

Although it is not one of the top places on my list, it is one of the places that I frequent in a quiet plan with friends, so I share some tips: If there is not enough space in the parking lot, definitely check the neighborhood signs to avoid a bad experience or disturb the neighbors. Although there is plenty room inside & outside and you will probably find a table to sit down, there are days and times that are very popular that you have to have a little more patience, although I always recommend ordering drinks while you wait for a table to be free. Always check the specials, although they are usually somewhat constant, there are times that a drink or food is only found for a limited time. If you like margaritas and beers you definitely have to go on Friday and try the Beerrita special! The food is not something that will surprise you but it does leave a good taste in your mouth, especially some of its most popular options such as the Haymaker Sandwich, although if you are not very hungry with some wings or pretzel bites and their drinks it is more than enough . The service is always friendly and attentive although on busy days the wait is longer. Aunque no es uno de los lugares top en mi lista si es uno de los lugares que frecuento en un plan tranquilo con los amigos, así que les comparto unos tips: Si no hay suficiente espacio en el estacionamiento definitivamente chequen los señalamientos del vecindario para no llevarse una mala experiencia ni tampoco molestar a los vecinos. Aunque el espacio interior y exterior es amplio y probablemente encuentres una mesa para sentarte hay días y horas que son populares que hay que tener un poco más de paciencia aunque siempre les recomiendo ordenar las bebidas mientras esperan a que se desocupe una mesa. Siempre revisen los especiales, aunque suelen ser algo constantes hay veces que alguna bebida o comida solo lo encuentran por tiempo limitado. Si te gustan las margaritas y cervezas definitivamente tienes que ir en Viernes y probar el especial de la Beerrita! La comida no es algo que te sorprenderá pero si te deja un buen sabor de boca, especialmente alguno de sus opciones más populares como el Haymaker Sandwich, aunque si no llevas mucha hambre con unas alitas o bites de pretzel y sus bebidas es más que suficiente. El servicio siempre es amable y atento aunque en días ocupados la espera es mayor. read more

I dropped by while my wife was out of town for some comfort food. The poutine really hot the spot, and I ordered a roast beef Italian sausage hoagie to go. Service was awesome, and there's a really nice tap beer selection here. It's kind of dark, but in a warm, homey way like a pub. There are 2 sections sort of with tv's and seating and such for sports to one side and pool tables on the other. I'd come here again without thought anytime in the winter. Oh yeah--theres a roofed porch out front too. This place does what it's designed to well--comfort food and drinks that won't break the bank and a laid back place to catch a game or hang with friends. read more

Haymaker is from the same owners of Black Sheep Lodge. We came during happy hour on a Saturday (super rare to find a HH on a weekend) $4 wells. The food is delicious! I love me some wings. Ate half a pound of buffalo wings for $9.50 and shared the Cuban Pressed Burger. I highly recommend both! Both very tasty and the wings nice and meaty! read more

Haymaker - Buffalo Wings - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

My husband and I stopped in for a few drinks and sat outside. Overall a cool bar with plenty of space, great drink selection, tvs, and friendly staff. They did have a variety of bar food but we didn't have any so can't comment on that experience. read more

This place has zero respect for their longtime customers and take absolutely no accountability for their promises. The Detroit Lions group has been coming here for over 5 years, and even met with management prior to this season to iron out some of the problems we've had continually. Haymaker makes promises to improve the relationship with our group. In my opinion it was blatant lies to keep the business of our group. Today we show up and all of our reserved space is completely full with people watching soccer. Haymaker didn't even bother to communicate with our group to let them know we would not have our space. At least last year when they did this to our group on numerous occasions we could go to the overflow room....today we were outside in the sun watching on a small tv with the glare of the sun. There has to be some bar out there that would love to have this group's business. read more

Great place to hangout before a UT game. Staff is at times overwhelmed but you eventually get service. Easy walk to UT athletics venues. Glad for a few vegetarian options. read more

I love haymaker!!!!! It's the best spot to watch sports and hangout with friends. Their food is insanely good (but heavy) and it'll put you in the best food coma. Always busy for games but service is still good despite the chaos! Such a fun spot read more

This was my second time at Haymaker. I am 99.9999% positive I ordered the exact same thing as my first visit....and it didn't disappoint! I highly recommend the combo hoagie Italian sausage and beef sandwich. And the house made chips are AWESOME! They are just like Buc-ee's, if you are familiar with those. They are open for dine-in (thank God!!!). They have a great beer list, upscale pub food, and very friendly staff. The place has a pretty cool vibe as well. I have only sat in the bar, but they also have a decent size patio. Also a room with pool tables. Parking is pretty easy. Although both times I went weren't exactly peak times. read more

Haymaker - Italian Combo and House - fried Kettle Chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Been here a couple of times pre covid and once fairly recently. Their outdoor space is a great spot to hang out and watch a game with plenty of tvs and well spaced out tables. They have reopened for indoor dining but when I went in to use the bathroom the space between fairly crowded tables was definitely too close for comfort. In terms of food they have a pretty nice variety of out there sandwich/burger options along with typical bar fare. While I appreciate the variety I've found most of the food I've tried to be okay at best. Most recently I've tried the wings and Italian hoagie. The wings were super bready and the sauces weren't very flavorful. The roast beef and sausage on the hoagie were also both fairly bland. They have some pretty solid drink specials (when I last went on a Tuesday all Texas beers were 3$) and compared to similar spots they have a really wide selection of options. Overall, I think the vibe here is great and the drink deals are hard to beat. But between the less than stellar food and questionable crowd control I can't say I'd recommend coming by in the near future. read more

Haymaker - Italian Hoagie - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

We came here to watch football on Sunday and it was packed by noon, but service remained attentive which is always great! We ordered the Haymaker which is probably better shared between two people. Very interesting combination of food for sure (Texas toast, coleslaw, cheese, tomato, egg, French fries) but still pretty good. Roast beef was a bit dry though womp womp. Now the wings...surprisingly really good. They were super crunchy with juicy & fatty meat. Definitely would order again. read more

Super chill and casual bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Great service and I love the cherry limeade frozen drink. Parking is a pain in the booty during peak hours but that's expected for the area. read more

Super casual local neighborhood bar vibes here, nothing out of the ordinary but nothing terrible. The food can be hit or miss but you're really coming for the drink specials let's be real. Perfect place to get a bit rowdy and a bit tipsy before heading to greener and possibly rowdier pastures read more

Haymaker - Spinach Cobb Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

This review is mainly for the service. I like that this local spot was down the street from where I'm staying. Coming from dinner, I thought my wife and I could get a QUICK night cap before heading home. On a Sunday night about about 945pm, there was plenty of parking. We walked in and grabbed some seats inside the bar. Promptly a server came and talked to us and dropped off some menu's. We didn't see her for again for a minimum 10-15 min. After we flagged another waitress to grab our server, we finally got our drink orders taken. We make an order (1 can of cider and 1 Burnt Orange old fashion) and at this point another 10-15 min goes by without our drinks. When drinks do arrive, they come at separate times with separate servers. Since I didn't want to risk waiting another 10-15 minutes to wait for our original server to come and check on us, I decided to ask for the check. (Which came promptly, by the way). Not sure if the server was just having a bad day or what was going on. If service is this slow on a Sunday night when more than half the bar is empty, I'd hate to see what it's like during busy times. read more

I went to Haymaker because their poutine and their beef sandwich were recommended. The poutine was good, just good, not special. At first I thought there was barely any cheese but I sound more berried under the fries. The beef sandwich was a disaster. The menu states "doused and in beef au jus". The sandwich could not have been any drier. Beef jerky is more moist. The menu also says it included grilled onions. My sandwich featured chunks of raw onions. My server was in training, so I don't fault her for bringing the wrong check. I did have to ask for drink refills three times, each time my cup was empty for a long time. This is probably a good place to have a beer and watch sports on their many televisions. read more

Solid spot to watch football games! I love their spinach and artichoke dip. Their tots were solid too. Only thing that I'd like to see is Dos XX on draft! read more

Haymaker is a local Austin bar with plenty of TVs for sporting events. I went to watch the MLS cup with Austin FC the place was hopping but still got great service. The drinks were cold and mixed well and I ordered the poutine fries which were delicious. Definitely recommend this place to catch the next big game you will find plenty of space and plenty of TVs to watch the game. read more

As far as sports bars go, this place has a bangin' menu. We came here with a few friends, played pool, darts, and had lunch. I ordered the cuban pressed burger, and boy, did it open up my world to what a burger can be. Being from Tampa, I'm a big fan of cuban sandwiches, so adding a burger patty to an already amazing sandwich... chefs kiss. Not for nothing, but the ham, burger, pickle taste combo is a sensation. Our friend got the poutine. I can't remember if I saw any curds on it, and the bite I had didn't include curds. It has cheese, just not sure if there was also curds. The menu does say curds so maybe they existed. How many times can I say curds? The gravy was really good, though! My friend said the fries were crispy when we got our food and then got soggy as it sat. That's to be expected. Stop by, play pool, and try some food. read more

Tried out this place about a week and a half ago with a friend. We were looking for somewhere to enjoy lunch on a weekday afternoon and this place enticed us because of the pool tables on the google pictures, however this was inaccurate and they didn't have any type of games. The place looked pretty cool so we weren't all that upset about the pool table. We got seated right away and it was very much a bar setting, for those who couldn't tell. The service was honestly not great. Out waiter seemed very impatient and just ready to get off the clock. When asking about the size of the food the waiter over represented the food and it turned out really small. Overall I wasn't very pleased with my experience and wouldn't come back given the chance. read more

Ashton is the best! I love this place. Good beer, good food, awesome people! %100 would bang this dude! Chips were so good!

Awesome French dip sandwich is always a go to. Service is ok but could be more attentive

I had the feeling I had been there before then I found out it was owned or managed by the owners of Black Sheep. Great place to watch ANY sport. munchies galore and the beer list is impressive. We watched the Women's World cup and had a blast. It was as much fun watching fans dress up for their favorite teams as was the comradery. When I'm in the area I'll stop by again. read more

Haymaker - Great for sporting events - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best BLT I have ever had. Nice selection of craft beers. Friendly staff. Really nice for an airport bar

This is a good sports bar hang, but the pours are inconsistent. When I ask for, and pay for doubles, I expect to receive doubles. Not this. 1.3oz at best. Frustrating considering drinks are a bit pricey and I am not egetting what I paid for. Gave this place another shot. Went to close my wife's tab so I could start one, as we share drink costs equally. The shorter, female bartender was SO rude about it. She said, verbatim, "are you SURE you're gonna close out, or are you just gonna come back and reopen 10 minutes later like always?" I was taken aback because you don't speak to customers like this. Extremely inappropriate. I was planning on closing my wife's tab and spending about $40 more on my own tab -- but looks like I won't be back now. Keep your bartender's attitude in check, maybe reach out to customers with poor experiences instead of ignoring them and I'll consider coming back. I would rather spend 2x as much at butterfly bar and get more alcohol with half the attitude. Sorry haymaker, I tried, you didn't. read more

Haymaker - Underpoured whiskey. - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been coming to this place for about a year now, but tonight was awful service (not the food, just the service). I came today for Sunday games with my group of 4 people and we have terrific server during the day, Samantha. When we had the shift change, we received the most non-expressive and seemed like he was down right miserable server after lovely Samantha. Don't get me wrong, food and drinks came out wonderfully, but this man didn't even say "hello" to us. He said "drinks?" I saw a few servers eating Patrizi's pasta at this place too so I went to grab some while my friends were eating food from the restraunt, a man comes up to the table and say "no outside food. put it up." he could've said it in a nicer way or better tone. I put it up, but man it doesn't hurt to be a bit nicer. I want to give a huge shoutout to Nathan Campbell though for being just a nice human being. He was the nicest person I encountered aside from Miss Samantha and he literally just brought one drink to my table. read more

We ordered the margarita, beer cheese & chips, and brownie sundae. Emmellia was our server. She was awesome and had a great personality! Everything was delicious and we had a great time! I just wish the brownie sundae was bigger for the price. Haymaker has lots of neat daily promotions. The $2 margaritas were great. This is definitely a nice hang out spot! Beware that Haymaker does close early (at midnight) so it's not the best spot for a really late night! read more

Hate to say that this place used to be one of my favorites but recently has declined in service. The staff was friendly but took all of our orders wrong and when we went to pay they assumed we received our correct food but we never did. Hope they take the reviews and work on becoming what they once were. read more

On the whole I was sadly a bit disappointed in the quality of food and experience at Haymaker. On the experience, their mobile web UI is very dated and not fully functional: we ordered online for in-restaurant pickup, and never received a confirmation via phone or email that our order had been placed. After waiting some time, I went inside to check on our order status, and they indicated it had not been received. Slightly inconvenienced, I placed the same order again in person. A few minutes later, the server let me know that the web order had, in fact, come through, and that they were producing one order and a separate, duplicate order. I asked them to cancel the original order placed through their mobile website, but their system does not allow for reversal of web orders. I had the in-person order reversed, having encountered friction while attempting to simply place an order at several steps along the way. On the food, their grilled chicken sandwich was substandard quality at best. The meat was rubbery, and the secondary ingredients (lettuce, tomato, pickles, bun) were of pretty transparently low quality. I'm open to giving it another shot, but the first-time experience was, all things considered, an unfortunate one. read more

We were looking for somewhere new to try, so we stopped in for a drink. Upon walking in the door I was overjoyed and giddy to see a Shuffleboard against the wall. I love me some Shuffleboard...can you tell? In addition to Shuffleboard they also have 2 Pool tables and Darts for folks to enjoy. They also have a few outdoor seats out back, lots of outdoor seats on the front patio, as well as a good amount of indoor seating at tables and at the bar, which is two sided. Haymaker offers sandwiches and some other items on their menu. We did not order any food so I cannot comment on the food. We each ordered a Martini, which was ok, but not great. If I go back to play Shuffleboard I might try the food. However I would not return specifically for a drink. The extra star is for the Shuffleboard!!! **they also have purse hooks on the tables!!** read more

Haymaker - Pursehooks on the tables - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

While this place holds the unique position of THE #1 Austin establishment in which you are most likely to find yourself surrounded by belligerent, toxic cis dudes (I mean a specific brand of Panhellenic acolytes who casually and *very audibly* rank women as they walk past), I still on occasion like to come here if I am nearby and a friend suggests we swing by for a quick happy hour bevvie. Their happy hour is pretty great. Still, I never stay longer than an hour, because as I mentioned, it is _toxic_ bro city up in this bar, unfortunately. As for their food, their poutine is delicious. As is their Wisconsin Wurst, and honestly most of their sandwiches are up to par. The bar staff are always kind and helpful. I only wish the environs were a bit less nauseating. read more
