    After years of searching, I finally found the little brother I never had! Meet Austin's best Big breakfast burrito at Little Brother. Themed-based little establishment with an outdoor cooking trailer, the four stool bar serves up tasty cocktails, frozen drinks, beer/shot specials and one heck of a burrito. Cool servers and nostalgic vibes inside with outdoor tables as well. Must try

    This is not the correct location that I went to, but hopefully for anyone who's interested in the SoCo Little Brother location, you'll find my review! It's very unnoticeable on SoCo. You probably wouldn't even know it was there unless you were looking for it. My friend and I are both huge coffee fans, so we purposely came to SoCo for Little Brother. It's attached to this hat shop. Their kolaches are amazing. My friend got the pork kolache, and it was so crispy and flaky on the outside. The pork was slightly cheesy. It was a really delicious kolache. I also ordered their cappuccino, which was really good! I normally order generic vanilla iced lattes, but I really wanted a photo of the cup. I was not disappointed. I probably would not go out of my way to come to Little Brother because I believe their hours are earlier, but I'm so glad that I discovered it.

    Came here for the Bad Larry Burger pop up - stayed for the drinks! This was hands down the best way to celebrate NYE in Austin (also, because I'm old and 3pm seemed like a great celebratory time). Green Chili Burger - 11/10. Dead. Tiki Tom's Krusin' Krampus - 10/10. Frozen delish. I don't know how long this pop up is going for, but you need to go. Order food inside, and a drink for while you wait. You won't regret it.

    This place is tiiiiiiiny - but was one of the only places open on Rainey before 4 PM. There are 4 seats at the bar inside, but they have a huge patio with plenty of seating in the front. We were lured in by the sign out front - "this is a sign - come in here" and we're lucky to get 2 of the open seats at the bar. The cocktails are really fun and cute, and their frozen drinks are strong. Fun way to kill a couple of hours with friendly staff and patrons. They also have coffee and food, which I heard other guests raving about.

    Hours!

    This is a no frills type of place and I am here for it. I just moved into the apartments that are above this place so talk about total convenience. It's really nice to see a simple menu in a sea of overdone ones. The guy was incredibly friendly and down to earth and serve up a killer latte.

    Small café and bar with an intimate hipster vibe. It has a food truck specializing in breakfast burritos called Bummer Burritos attached to it. The space is quite cramped with only 4 stools inside and maybe a few tables outside. The drink menu also has a limited selection but pre-mixed cocktails are creatively served in repurposed and relabeled aluminum cans. It's not a bad way to start off your day drinking before heading out to busier and bigger bars down the street.

    Love this bar. I started coming here when Bad Larry Burger Club initially started serving their pre-order burgers outside of this joint. Their self-proclaimed "Best Bar on the Worst Street" rings true. It's tiny... maybe a 3 or 4 person high-top bar... but I always hang out outside at the tables in front of the bar. The bartenders are dope and they typically serve you in aluminum cans, branded with their details on them. They host a lot of shows with some great bands, which are usually punk or screaming, so be prepared. Bad Larry Burgers - 10 out of 5. best smash burger in Austin - they'll be posted up there until jan 17th so get there ASAP! Bummer Burrito - the food truck next to the bar - deliiicious! Austin isn't much of a burrito town, but they nail them here. I had a frozen Tiki Tom's Krushin' Krampus [$12] and it was AMAZING. Love the people who run this spot, so I'll keep coming back!

    Alex is the MVP. On a girls trip and he gave us allllll the recs. Great service and great drinks! We came back just to see Alex. Love him!

    RumpleMilk. The finest drink on all of Rainey Street.

    Came for the Malort. Stayed for the RumpleMilk. It's a must when visiting this solid Austin establishment.

    I was invited by a friend, along with 10 of her closest friends, to attend a 1950s-themed murder…read moremystery in The Power Room (conveniently located in the back of Manny's Bar.) Murder mystery events are pretty common in Washington State, and we have attended several over the years. We have also hosted a Star Trek murder mystery dinner at our home. In case you are wondering, the hubs is the Trekkie. Since this was an all-girls event, I was flying solo. My first challenge was deciding what to wear. One thing was transparently clear...I was not about to spend money on an outfit destined to spend the rest of its life collecting dust in the back of my closet. After some extensive "research" (mainly googling 1950s fashion and perusing my closet), I pieced together a respectable 1950s outfit. It consisted of a pencil skirt with a little swing, a short-sleeved cardigan, and a sequined top to fit the prom-night theme. I completed the look with ankle socks, flat shoes, neck scarf, and a period-inspired hair clip. It would not have won an award for best dressed, however, I blended right in. Upon entering The Power Room, we were instructed to surrender our cell phones. Wait...what? My phone is essentially my third arm, personal assistant, camera, GPS, calculator and all things essential. Are you serious?! I exhaled as I handed over my phone. You received a wristband with your locker key attached. While I may not always agree with the rules, I am a dedicated rules follower. I reluctantly complied and tried to survive the acute separation anxiety. In addition, the event required a two-drink minimum, and the food options were fairly limited. Our server did an outstanding job keeping everyone's orders straight. Considering our group size and enthusiasm level, that alone deserved an award. Drinks and food were good. The murder mystery itself differed from others I have attended. Typically, the suspects are played by seasoned performers who can think on their feet and fully commit to their roles. In this version, audience members were selected to play the suspects. While this created some hilarious and unpredictable moments, it also led to occasional responses like, "I don't know," or, "Give me a minute to think about that," which is suboptimal when trying to solve a murder. Even still, the audience participation added a unique charm and plenty of laughs. At the end of the evening, awards were handed out for Best Suspect, Best Death Scene, and the team that successfully solved the murder mystery. I am proud to report that one of our friends won Best Death Scene, proving that if you're going to be murdered, you should at least go out with flair. Now for our team... Let's just say the killer will not be losing any sleep over our investigative abilities as we did not solve the murder. Importantly, the evening was tremendously fun. Between the costumes, the laughter, the over-the-top performances, and the challenge of solving the crime, it made for a memorable night out.

    We got there on time and had to wait 20 mins to be sat. We were asked to leave our table promptly…read moreat the 90-minute mark from when our reservation was supposed to begin; not factoring the time we lost at the table due to it not being ready for us. But it was more important to the Powder Room that the next group got their table on time, apparently. The drinks took soooo long, we got ONE round in, and were asked to leave the table before our second round arrived. They had no issues when taking our second round order while we were seated, but we were asked to leave the table immediately after. This round also took forever and we drank it standing, crowded, in everyone's way. I was embarrassed as it was my birthday, and I was taking a group of 7 other people - new to Austin - here to check out what was one of my favorite spots. I was bragging about it and chose it over other spots on their list. They hated it. I'm disappointed. Our server was great to us and apologetic about the service bar.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.
