SaraMarch 22, 2015Delicious cocktails. Highly recommend the Red Headed Mule - whiskey infused organic black cherries, fresh ginger, and orange peel served in a copper mug.

AFAR MediaApril 24, 2015Whether you come for the impressive craft beer selection or for its hearty food, Haymaker won't disappoint. Bring your dog along and sit outside in the comfortable outdoor dining area. Read more

Social News NetworkOctober 14, 2013A good place for a fun night out! 39 types of beer on tap, and tons more bottled. Great food plus shuffleboard, pool, and TVs to watch the game. Menu Must-try: the Traditional Poutine - IT ROCKS!!!Upvote4Downvote
Austin ChronicleJanuary 14, 2014Great selection of global and local beers and a good hangout spot, Haymaker is geared toward sandwich-loving beer drinkers. The food is hit or miss, though its two varieties of poutine are very tasty. Read more

Elisa CooperNovember 23, 2013Beer is good-Elsewhere. I have had good experiences in a dive bar to a 5star; I walk away loving a new beer/Brewer. This place made me wanna drink wine. Long live Austin brewers! Salty, lifeless food.UpvoteDownvote- Rocky PerezAugust 2, 2017I totally come to drink, but I had one issue it was the portions... for $12 sandwich & fries, Muffelltta was good not huge but good, fries were almost non existent! Come on give up the fries!Upvote1Downvote
Their southern style poutine is ridiculous. Get it. Also if it's still on draft get the Bible Belt beer. It's $10 for a half pint but god damn is it worth it.UpvoteDownvote
Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 25, 2018Chain sports bar/restaurant with great service and lots of open space for groups and games (pool and darts). However, the price point is relatively high, and the food doesn’t particularly impress.UpvoteDownvote
Daniel BorrelliApril 26, 2014I've quacked here a few times and it's always been a positive experience. I was aprehensive about the quacker at first but found myself very comfortable quacking here. 4 starsUpvoteDownvote
Hama-LycheeJune 28, 2018Their beer selection is impressive. Their poutine is not close to a real Poutine Québécoise but it’s a decent mix of potatoes and gravy sauce. Mind the salt level and the lack of ideal cheese curds.UpvoteDownvote
Brittney PotterApril 12, 2015I got the nutty grilled cheese it was ok it could use more flavor. Their sweet potato fries were delicious along with their fluffenutty Cristo. Plus $2 margs on Friday... I dig this place.UpvoteDownvote
Josh AMarch 22, 2017Cool spot. Lots of focus on watching soccer. Good breakfast fare. Good beer selection. Get a breakfast shot.UpvoteDownvote
Craft Beer selection is legit. Good food selection, definitely not typical bar food, and US Soccer everything!UpvoteDownvote

Jon BOctober 6, 2014As a Canadian, I can tell you the poutine is legit. As a human, I can tell you the beer list is spectacular.Upvote2Downvote

Jonathan BOctober 28, 2013Order the Haymaker, but forget the fried egg. It adds too much salt for what's already a delicious flavor explosion.Upvote1Downvote
Vegan burgers and sausages! Extensive beer and fairly good cider optionsUpvoteDownvote
You can add a fried egg to almost anything. Do it.Upvote1Downvote

Allen VelasquezJuly 2, 2016Affordable, $2 Ritas Friday and a really tasty Croc Misseur. Highly recommended.UpvoteDownvote
Alyssa PMarch 8, 2015The Cuban pressed burger and fries were delicious! The frozen margarita was mediocre (and not frozen)... but that's what you can expect from a $2 marg right?UpvoteDownvote
Staff was awesome, food/drinks are delicious, and I love the neighborhood!Upvote2Downvote

Ben BaronApril 18, 2015Make sure you park in the Haymaker lot, not the one to the east, or you risk a boot on your tires.UpvoteDownvote

Adam ShoenfeltMarch 29, 2014Good spot to grab a great craft beer and they show soccer games.UpvoteDownvote
Lo-Cell ErvinOctober 16, 2019It's a sports bar if you just want a beer and wings or burger, but it's not my taste. This place is not for Soul Folk, but more of a Uber/UT crowd. Food and drinks nothing to brag about.UpvoteDownvote- Kyle BunchFebruary 23, 2014Go for the poutine, stay for the sandwiches and beer list.Upvote2Downvote
Jonathon TaylorNovember 12, 2022The open face sandwiches are amazing. But sooooo messy. Be warned.UpvoteDownvote

"The high-octane drink menu pairs well with food that sticks to the ribs. Order two of the Chorizo and Eggs, an international study combining the fried Scotch Egg with the Southern deviled egg."
