Haymaker is a cool spot to chill on the expansive patio during nice weather or catch a game inside. Wish their indoor seating options were a little more cush, but they are my size which is fun. I'm now envisioning my tall friends sitting on their short stools and can't wait to take them all there just for laughs...and drinks. I didn't try the food but my friend did and enjoyed it. Same for the drinks actually. I hear the espresso martini is great. And they have a pretty good selection of beer and some wine. I was drinking sparkling water and the Richard's rainwater bottles were perfect for me. Pool tables looked fun and were all full when I was there. It's a bit divey but not dirty or smelly, so that's a win in my book! read more

Love living at the Haymaker the last 2 years. Great location. Pet friendly. Helpful staff

My friends and I spent a couple of hours here on Wednesday to watch the MLS all star game. We had struck out at several sports bars downtown who either weren't showing the game or refused to turn up volume on screens showing it...rude. So we were elated to walk through Haymaker's doors! There are 4 spaces to choose from to watch sports: the outdoor patio, the first indoor room w/ pool table, the big tables in the second room w/ the bar, and the high top section adjacent to the bar. Something for everyone! We chose the 3rd option, with 3 screens in front of us and amazing volume. I got the Mule, Hay-Mac and Cheese, and later a Green Tea Shot. The Mule came in its cute cup. The mac and cheese exceeded my expectations of a random sports bar, and the Green Tea Shot was one of the bigger one's I've been served. Our server (don't know his name) was super nice and kept checking in on us! read more

The place has a very friendly, neighborly feel to it. I ordered the turkey club with the sweet potato fries and both were very good. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. This would be a great place to watch some games or meetup with friends read more

Haymaker - Turkey club with sweet potato fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Solid restaurant on the east side of Austin. They have a beer list with over 100 beer options that regularly rotate. For food, you can't go wrong with the chicken wings. They have tons of TVs if you are a sports fan. There's an outdoor patio and indoor seating as well. read more

Haymaker provides a lively indoor and outdoor space for the neighborhood to meet over good food and drinks. I usually get a load of appetizers and sides here because they're just all that delicious - the crispy fried brussels sprouts, creamy spinach dip and rich poutine are all highlights. Unfortunately this means they sometimes run out, but the quick service and recommendations of substitutes make up for it! The Reuben sandwhich is also a highlight. You can find rotating beers from local names such as Zilker, Meanwhile, Eastciders, ect. on tap, as well as more traditional brews. It's one of my favorite spots to watch a sporting event on the East side because it's always full of fans and there is plenty of TVs to watch. read more

Nothing fancy, just easy drinking and a chill sports bar. The drinks are cheap, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's a good spot to catch a game without any fuss. I tried one of their mystery shots and got the dirty monkey (banana peanut butter whiskey), which was surprisingly good plus a couple of margaritas, which were decent for the price. read more

The wings were so salty they burnt my hands. Waiters are nice, beer is cold, but the wings are a no go here.

I took a client to Haymaker for lunch, and it was a great choice for a casual, no-frills business meeting. The atmosphere is relaxed and very Austin--plenty of character without being distracting, which made it easy to hold a conversation. We both ordered sandwiches--mine was the Haymaker, and my client had the Monte Cristo. Both were excellent: hearty, flavorful, and served hot with generous portions. The bread was fresh, the ingredients high quality, and everything came out quickly, which was ideal for a lunch meeting. Service was prompt and friendly, and the staff gave great recommendations without rushing us. The laid-back vibe kept things comfortable, but the food and service still made it feel like a step above your average lunch spot. I'll definitely keep Haymaker in mind for future client lunches--or even just a solid sandwich when I'm in the area. read more

My first time at Haymaker and I went with colleagues. They've got a terrific happy hour and a big selection of beers and cocktails. Food is typical bar fare...on steroids! Meaning they've taken the typical fare and raised it by a crazy number of notches. Breaded/fried pretzel bites? Yes, please! Sausage balls? Yes, please. BLT is a perfect comfort food sandwich. Really chill place to hang with co-workers, friends, etc. Super attentive service. read more

Having driven by this place so many times, it was on my list of places to try but honestly not worth it. It is cheap - got a frozen marg for $8 which was great. Tried the poutine if it can even be called that. The fries were not the authentic thick fries and there was 3 large chunks of cheese instead of small cheese curds. The chicken wings were overly fried. All I could taste was batter there was barely any chicken in my wings. Not only that, the menu said 6 wings and I only got 4. Would not come back or recommend. read more

Haymaker has good social vibes outside and has more of a dive bar feeling inside. It is optimal for socializing with a big group. They have daily drink specials, although I didn't get a drink when we went on a Friday because I don't drink margs. Their food and drinks are definitely on the pricer side for a casual sports bar. My friends ordered the garlic parmesan wings, which they really enjoyed. I got the hay-mac and cheese, which is a small bowl topped with garlic bread crumbs. It ended up being about $10, which was pricey for such a small portion. I thought it was good but nothing to rave about. The service was friendly. read more

Sussy. My bacon had a lot of pepper. Fries were tasty tho. Readily available ketchup and mustard

They use to have beer cheese that was SO good - GONE! They use to have homemade chips - GONE So, I ordered the spinach artichoke. I'd rather have the TGIFriday frozen one from HEB. At least that one has flavor. This dip had SO much garlic. The grainy consistency left much to be desired. Do not order this!! This place has changed a lot since I was last here. Can't say it's for the better. Service was meh. Nice girl. Atmosphere hasn't change, so that was comforting. I will think twice before coming back here. read more

After a long, hot day being outdoors during an October heatwave, visiting Haymaker was just what we needed to recover. Tasty food = check Plenty of TV screens to watch the games = check Delicious beverages = check Reasonable prices = check That's enough reason to go, but what separates Haymaker from other places is the service. We were lucky enough to have Kat taking care of us and boy were we impressed. She had top tier recommendations on apps, drinks and meals. Kat was excellent at anticipating our needs and made everything super easy. Even when our group was having some trouble making decisions, she was patient and helped us out with perfection. Thank you to Kat and the Haymaker team! read more

Great food, fun ambiance. Such a fun after work spot! Particularly loved the cannabis cocktail!

The service was good, especially for how busy it is. This is definitely a sports bar with many TVs on different sports. I ordered the garlic parm wings. The wing itself was nice and crispy, but there was sooo much oil that it took away from it. read more

I met my brother here before a basketball game at Moody Center. The weather was perfect for a nice lunch on their deck. Our waitress was friendly and several different crowds were enjoying sports. One group was watching the football (soccer) game and another group was inside watching American football. It's a great place for sports! I ordered a sangria which was $4 for a Sunday special. We tried the warm salsa -which was on the fall menu. At first, it had a great taste. Then you mostly tasted vinegar. I think warming it brought out too much of the vinegar taste. Maybe a bit of Mexican sour cream on top as the fat to balance the acid?? I got the French dip sandwich which was inedible. I took one bite and there was a bunch of fat. I took another bite and again...mostly fat. I took the sandwich apart to see if there was any redeeming pieces of meat but sadly, no. Even my brother noted how fatty it was. I don't know if it was just a bad cut but it was disappointing. :( I could have used more fries on my plate considering this is all I ate. My brother ordered a Reuben and his sandwich looked amazing!! (See pics) This neighborhood joint has been around for a while. The burgers have always been solid. I wish I had gone with my standby and ordered that instead. The patio is dog friendly and I made some new (dog) friends that day. :)y read more

The service, I'm good with mediocre service when it's busy. I understand that is gets crazy. Idk our waitress' name, but she was fine at first, I ordered a second beer, with my husband and brother in law. They got their beers but I didn't get mine. I was patient and waited only to never get it. She comes out to check out and I said... " I ordered a beer, so if it was charged, please take it off". She said my bad and offered a discount beer... fine I'll take it. I paid out, made a MINOR adjustment to my tip, like 1.00 ... if that. And she apparently rolled her she's at me, grabs the machine out of my hand, returns and SLAMs the beer down. I politely said thank you and no response. It was ridiculous. read more

First time here, visiting from Houston for the weekend and decided to watch UT game!!!The staff was really great and attentive to our table and the wings were amazing and full of flavor and generous in size.

This place is a joke.. some of the worst service in the city. Staff just sitting around the bar stroking each other instead of being attentive. Whatever.. garbage read more

We had a company event here. There's parking available, and great service in a no-frills bar. The brussel sprouts were delicious! The Haymaker sandwich was tasty as well. Very chill vibe which made it easy to catch up with folks! read more

Used to love Haymaker, went for the USA vs Canada hockey game and they had to pause drink orders for 15 minutes due to the bar being backed up and then I ordered Poutine and 2 buddies got grilled chicken sandwiches, all 3 of us got ill during the night after eating there. Another buddy got a patty melt that he said was one of the worst he's ever had, over cooked patty, little to no sauce and the cheese wasn't melted. Unfortunately it seems that due to being busy their standard for quality dropped severely. The server I had was friendly though! read more

Nice staff here! I'd skip the food though if you're just looking for a place to hangout and grab a drink. Lots of seating but the food is extremely greasy and heavy. Decent pricing though so I couldn't be too upset. read more

Love this bar. Great vibe with two pool tables, shuffleboard and darts on one side and plenty of TV's and tables in the other. Outdoor seating both front and back if you want to enjoy the beautiful weather. Surprisingly good food as well. I am a chicken wing snob and their wings were crispy and very tasty. Staff is laid back and friendly but also great at execution. Definitely worth a stop, or two. read more

Staff is very friendly and there's a good selection of beer and drinks. Unfortunately inside is very loud and the food is just alright. read more

Overall, really loved the ambiance of Haymaker - definitely a dive bar vibe inside, and a great outdoor space that can host a big group. Service was fantastic, with our server checking in regularly to ensure we had what we needed. And the location had a great number of items for those with dietary restrictions, which was perfect for our big group! Would definitely come here again if I'm in town!! read more

Terrible. Terrible. Garbage. Can you cook a burger in less than an hour and be less pretentious? No. You deserve negative 200 stars. You are the reason Austin blows. I had to argue with your bartender over removing my food from my tab because it was 1am and I ordered my food at 11:30. I hope you go bankrupt and eat dirt read more

I came into this location last week with some colleagues for lunch. I ordered the Haymaker. As this sandwich is supposed to the represent the establishment namesake, it has to be tops, right? Haymaker- After I placed my order for this, the server advised the establishment was out of coleslaw and if I wanted this menu item, it would be served without it. I decided to order this item anyway. The sandwich was lukewarm upon arriving to the table and the Texas toast was not as crisp as it should have been. There were no stand-out/remarkable moments about this dish. In general, this sandwich was okay and moderately priced. Service- The server was attentive and prompt and was able to swiftly help our lunch party of 9. read more

Everything was great up until I went to pay the waiter complained about the tip out loud in my face on a $150 tab. I tipped her approximately 20% based on the food I ordered and ordered drinks afterwords. Management needs to address this unprofessional and unacceptable behavior saying comments out loud. Work harder, I would have tipped better shorty. read more

Had seen such good reviews of this place on Yelp and was excited to go, but was unfortunately super disappointed. We arrived for one of the NBA playoff games and sat inside since the audio was on (music was playing on the front and back patio). Poor mistake as the audio was 5 seconds off so we would know ahead of time if a shot was made or missed before it even happened on our screen. Absolute worst way to watch a sports game. We decided to order a Guinness on draft which was absolutely terrible; tasted like they poured it out of a can although it was on draft. Terrible pour and tasted flat and old (for all my Guinness folks IYKYK). We were planning on ordering food since the menu looked great but were so turned off by the drinks and the audio for the game that we ended up drinking half the beer and leaving. Service was as mediocre as it gets - tried sparking up convo with our server and she gave us 1 word responses back. Outdoor back and front patio seemed like a solid vibe, but the inside was dingy and not inviting. Won't be back here personally. read more

Great lunch on move-in weekend at UT. Went to try School House Pub across the street but were not open in spite of the hours on their website saying they were. Hopped across to Haymaker and just a great lunch for us. Staff super friendly with drinks and foods delivered quickly, despite being pretty busy. Tons of tvs, were dartd and games and a lively bar. Started with pretzel bites with horseradish mustard, excellent but the crispy Brussels sprouts with spicy sauce were awesome! Had some burgers and chicken sandwiches, all good with crispy fries. Cold beers and a pretty nice burnt orange old fashion! Will be coming back! read more

Food: 3/5 Ordered lemon pepper wings, garlic Parmesan wings, and the traditional poutine. Nothing was spectacular. All pretty bland in flavor. I really thought the execution was great, but there is no seasoning on the wings. Just a bit disappointed. read more

I got the roast beef sandwich and didn't really like it because it was dry and not very flavorful. I did enjoy the tots, and my boyfriend did enjoy his burger. I also got the macaroni and cheese with sliced sausage, and that was pretty good. We will most likely order again but I won't get the roast beef sandwich again. read more
