Austin ChronicleFebruary 5, 2013The very cool Whip In boasts specialty beers, obscure wines, locally packaged gourmet foodstuffs, and a cafe menu that's a bricolage of Indian, African, European, and American flavors. Read more
AFAR MediaOctober 8, 2014I think the Whip In is my favorite place in all of Austin. The Whip In has over 70 beers on tap, there is live music every night of the week, and the food is a spectacular fusion of TX-meets-Indian. Read more
Arianna McKinneyAugust 26, 2014One of my favorite places in Austin. If you like good Indian-fusion food, awesome beer and wine, and a sophisticated dive bar atmosphere, this is your place. I can never leave ATX without a stop here.
Jacobo GómezAugust 17, 2015Hidden gem! Looks like an old convenience store on the outside, but on the inside is a super original mix of live music, incredible beer selection, and really good Indian food
Kaustubh ThirumalaiMarch 8, 2017Whip In offers an interesting variety of offbeat Indian food that's bold and exciting along with a great selections of kombucha and beer on tap!
- RossApril 10, 2016This place is so much fun - each corner its so different - part brewery, Indian restaurant and convenience store. Great draft beer selection, over 60 varieties. Namaste Y'all!
TraciJuly 26, 2015Great draft craft beer selection and a good vegetarian food selection. Ambiance is very relaxed and you can buy bottles of craft beer to take home.
The chana masala is deliciously spicy! Also the hand cut spicy fries are always hot and crisp. HUGE selection of beer and wines to pair with your meal, or just to sip alone on a hot Austin day.
Vinay BhatSeptember 29, 2016Try the Shakahari Burger. It's an interesting but delicious tempeh burger with fried paneer and Indian chili aioli. Great option for vegetarians!
Social News NetworkJune 29, 2012Convenience store, pub, restaurant and music venue! That's a lot of things to juggle and they do it all so well. But watch out, they will charge you a $1 PER beer you buy and consume on the premises.
Neil FaulknerSeptember 10, 2014Great beer, food and a super laid-back, cool vibe! Good show this weekend as noted to the right, with Frederick, Tahoma and Madeline Jennings.- Social News NetworkJune 25, 2012Friendly staff, pretty incredible beer selection. Midnight closing kind of kills the buzz. Wish they stayed open later. "Last call" at 11:45 comes right when most people are hitting their stride.
Serious EatsFebruary 27, 2013The Silly Cheesesteak Panaani is where the quesadilla, roti roll, and cheesesteak intersect—and how could you go wrong with that?
Katie BFebruary 27, 2013Whip In's own Namaste: Shiva Stout was amazing! Had the goat sliders, which were awesome but for two tiny bite size sliders, I thought the $9 price tag was high.
Ben BaronApril 16, 2015Beer and wine store meets Indian food. Brilliant with great food and great package selection. In house beer is awesome too.
The chicken special was huge and just as spicy as I like it. Huge value for $10, not to mention the epic beer list!
MetroSeeker.comSeptember 14, 2011We're in love with this convenience store that has 60 beers on tap and an Indian food menu. Try the queso con chutney and a Monk's ale for a unique Austin treat.
ChevroletMarch 7, 2011Located along the frontage road of IH-35 like any respectable convenience store would be, the Whip Inn epitomizes the true eclectic nature of Austin and is a perfect example of what makes this town sp
Everything about this place is so SAT style(south Austin Texas) the food rocks the staff is too cool and the beer oh dear the beer. Highly suggest a growler. Only one drawback they close at midnight.
andrew ballFebruary 27, 2015Whip in is amazing with great food and a great beer and wine selection. Try the goat sliders! So good.
Chelsea KApril 4, 2015Great food, great drink selection, really friendly staff! Definitely will go back!
Matthew JeromeAugust 24, 2012Counter Service! The menu is on the chalkboard above the bar and you order from the counter. They'll give you a number and you can sit inside or outside.
I love this place. The food is super tasty and they have a tremendous beer selection.
For brunch - they have a nice twist on migas - collard greens and quinoa grits were good too.
Great beer and wine selection, both dine-in and togo. Get the Travis Heights sandwich
Psy FusionAugust 23, 2015Beer, brunch, kombucha, Indian fusion food,live music, staff, must try Austin original
Quinoa cheese grits (and the tap selection) are insanely good.
_January 25, 2016Hipsters vibe and take on Indian cuisine. Food is good, but way over price for the small portions. Good place to grab a beer and chill.
Tina VargasApril 6, 2014This is an amazing place to drink all different types of beers plus meet lots of nice friendly people.
Cheri GarciaJune 19, 2012Awesome place to just chill at! Grab some honey sesame sticks to eat while u try new beers from that very nice bartender Heather :)- David PittsMarch 3, 2015Goat sliders are awesome, finding a place to sit is not awesome. Local beers through the roof though
Amanda TrevinoApril 18, 2012They will let you buy a 40 beer from the fridge & only charge you a $1 cork fee! Cheep place to drink and hear great music :)
Calli RudebuschFebruary 8, 2013Just tell the bartender what you like and let them call the shots. I've never been disappointed. Great selection.
Breakfast naan, lots of beers on tap, and lots of other goodies. This place is one best to come to in Austin for food and drink.
Adam WillisOctober 29, 2013Food is good but the atmosphere and tap/fridge selection is truly what makes this place good. Also, the bands that play aren't bad.
JasonSealMarch 18, 2013Super cool spot! Not a whole lot of GF options but the Zambian Corn rice bowl was awesome!!
Jack MeredithAugust 21, 2014Insane beer selection. Their inside setup recently changed. Wine bar here as well.
Emily ScruggsAugust 9, 2014Indian food. Great wine and beer selection. Vegan and gluten-free options.
They carry all natural & Gluten Free leprechaun ciders!!
RickSeptember 30, 2012Try the non-alcoholic herb infused Buddhas Brew Kombucha. Blueberry I'd my fave; almost psychedelic.
- Soooooooo amazing! Such an amazing place! Always highly recommended in Austin from Leprechaun Cider Company!
Alexis CaceresMay 18, 2011This place is awesome. Best time is right before 5. If you get caught in traffic before oltorf take the woodward exit and skip the traffic.
Knowledgeable and super friendly staff. Ask for a wine recommendation. Plus, growlers of Thirsty Goat!
Veggie bowl with Chana Masala and Spicy Ginger Cabbage together is divine. You can't go wrong with that yumminess!!!
ColinAugust 11, 2014Try their Namaste beers, which have recently earned a lawsuit courtesy of Dogfish Head.
