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

    Whether 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

    A 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!!!

    Great 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

    I 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!

    Beer 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.

    Chain 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.

    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.

    I'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 stars

    As a Canadian, I can tell you the poutine is legit. As a human, I can tell you the beer list is spectacular.

    I 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.

    Their 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.

    Order the Haymaker, but forget the fried egg. It adds too much salt for what's already a delicious flavor explosion.

    Craft Beer selection is legit. Good food selection, definitely not typical bar food, and US Soccer everything!

    It'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.

    The 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?

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