Surprisingly really good beers. All of them. This seems like an average brewery from the outside. Its also a bit out of the way if you are coming from North Austin like us. However, every beer that my buddy and I had was excellent. It also has a pretty nice outdoor area which would be ideal at night and during their special events. It also seems like a decently good "family" type brewery which I always look out for, even though I don't have kids. I had most of their lighter beers and once again, near perfection. I would highly recommend this place to everybody! read more

After a Yelp event, a friend of mine and I came in to wait for my husband to pick me up. She ordered a drink and I ordered at Mexican coca cola. FYI...Mexican coke is mush stronger than US coke. Hi Sign Brewing is delightful brewery with ample seating. Their outside patio is huge including a massive monitor for viewing events and other shows. The center section of the brewery has wooden seating with a cozy living room setting in the corner. You can actually see the brewery through the floor to ceiling glass windows. Our server was super friendly and helpful in pointing us to the menu items that he thought we might like. He even put my coke into a "to-go" cup when my hubby arrived. It was fun hanging out although for limited amount of time as the brewery was closing soon. read more

Hi Sign Brewing was another brewery that Steve and I went to in Austin. A chapter of our trip was trying out as many breweries in the metro area as we could. And while we didn't knock all of them out we made a significant dent. With Hi Sign Brewing we had two different beers of theirs and they were both very solid! The two were very different from each other in beer type to make the experience ever slightly more well rounded. One of the beers was a Violet the Blueberry Blonde. As the name indicates this is a fruited beer. The flavor profile for this particular beer is blueberry with a hoppy presence. A note of floral is at work too. Overall this beer isn't too heavy handed and comes off in subtle unfolding with the sweetness. The other beer was the Wooderson West Coast IPA. Flavor features in this beer is some citrus, hoppiness and some bitterness. The body of the beer is smooth on your tongue and a bright hue in your glass. A good, solid overall brewery experience! read more

Sampled 4 beers and all beers were good! Staff was friendly, helpful and patient! We settled on 2. MAX STOUT (chocolate stout 6.8%) is a medium body (not heavy nor light) stout and the roast malt comes though w/o overdoing it. WOODERSON (W Coast IPA) is for the fans of hops! Not extreme, but very present palate anda moderate hop nose. Not overly bitter but has a bite, nor crazy piney; also not juicy nor in-your-face fruity. Lacing is quite present vs some. HAUS DUNKELl: the sample was very good! An easy drinking beer and a great all-around beer for a broad segment beer fans. HOLLY STREET HAZE. A NE Hazy IPA. Sample was very aromatic and hops can't be missed. This hazy was punchy in hops (what a sample can reveal vs full pour) and a good hazy. Maybe a bit more hop pop than the WOODERSON so the appeal is more for the lovers of a hop profile. Cheers! read more

Hi Sign Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love that Hi Sign Brewing hosts such fun events, like speed puzzling! Super fun, and such a cozy spot, and pretty good drinks! I'm not a big alcohol drinker so the drink options were a bit limited. And sadly the cocktails are all premade in a big batch so you can't turn any drink into a mocktail. But the options they had were pretty good! I was a fan of the N/A perol spritz and my friends really enjoyed Off the wagon. And of course they had other options like Mexican coke and Jarritos, which are always great. But if you're not a drinker, a great time to go is in January, when they have a more varied Dry January menu! read more

Yummy stuff and super fun vibe for kids!! It has a disc golf course and a treehouse! How fun!

Been here a few times since they opened and it's a chill spot. Came here recently for a tech networking event. They also had geeks who drink event going on outside. The best thing about this place is their violet beer. It has been one of my favorite beers in town for quite some time now, it is very delicious. Another highlight is they also have some liquor. They can make an old fashion. I am not a fan of their premade one however, it has mezcal in it which I am not a fan. They don't have much to mix many cocktails as you can imagine since it's a brewery. The server was super nice and took his time explaining some menu items to me. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Dog-friendly outback, usually a good amount of dogs here. The restrooms are nice and clean. They have a food truck outside, it was Nyam when I went a few weeks ago. read more

This place could be great but their dog policy is ridiculous - they don't welcome dogs unless standing on blacktop is your idea of dog friendly on a hot day in Austin. I have been on dog-friendly crusade of breweries and this place just irritates me to no end. They are real close to my place but dogs are a nope inside. I have no idea why given they do not make food. The beer was good for the one we had but they didn't even tell us no dogs until right AFTER we had ordered and paid for our beer. The only you'll see is of my dogs standing on concrete as we sucked down our beer to leave. Get it together and say you are NOT dog-friendly so we don't waste our time here. read more

Gorgeous decor/ style details in this brewery, especially the wallpaper in the bathrooms! Great deal for happy hour as well $5 All Drafts! We wanted to try them all so we got all of them available. The beer quality was fantastic, you won't find a watered down/plain flavor like so many of them these days. Our favorites were the Shamus Irish Red, Wooderson IPA, and the HI-C IPA. They also offer cocktails and mocktails as well as a few options for wine, cider, and coffee. Great selection of to-go beers and merch. The place was extremely clean everywhere. They have 2 tvs and they were showing international soccer! We didn't see much of the staff, the woman working the counter frequently left and the limited people there had to wait a bit at the counter to get anything, but there wasn't many people around on a later Sunday day. The outside has a lot of potential, but most months it's just too hot with limited shade and no fans or misters and inside can get crowded and loud fast. A man came by with a dog and asked for water for it and he got a beer and they sat outside, but it was like 90 degrees and they both looked miserable, wish they could have come inside as there was basically no one there. Seemed odd with their branding about dogs, not having a kitchen or food to worry about, and most breweries around here are cool with it. read more

I've visited Hi Sign several times now and have generally had a good time. There are lots of beers on tap, and I've enjoyed all of the ones I have tried. Now, I normally don't like to post anything negative, but I feel the need to mention my latest experience. My parents were in town last weekend, so my boyfriend and I decided to take them to Hi Sign after dinner at Holiday down the street (this was Friday, August 9th during the evening). There were 2 employees pouring beers at the bar. One, the older one, had AirPods in the entire time he was working and was extremely rude to us. We ordered 3 beers, and he handed us 2. We politely waited and when he didn't say anything, we asked for the 3rd beer we had already paid for. He rudely told us that he had already given it to us and that someone must have already taken it (even though we were the only ones standing at the bar and nobody else had come to the bar between when we ordered and that moment). He eventually agreed to pour another beer, and when he handed it to us, said "here it is, even though I already gave it to you". Additionally, the 3 beers we had ordered were 3 distinct beers. The third beer he poured was the same one as the second one (I'm forgetting the names now). We informed him of this, as we had watched him pour it, and he denied it and laughed at us. We tried them and confirmed that they were in fact the same. At this point, we decided to just leave it at that and walked away with the 3 beers, happy to at least have the quantity we paid for, even if it was not what we had asked for. Very disappointing experience with this particular employee. Perhaps he was just having a bad day, but that is no way to treat customers. We will certainly think twice before returning. read more

Following a Yelp event, I stumbled into Hi Sign brewery and tried a Hazy IPA. The bartender was especially nice and offered the perfect beer for me. I was also able to get a nonalcoholic beverage for my friend who does not drink. My favorite part was that they had the hazy IPA and a four pack to go so that I could enjoy the beer at home. The brewery was very clean and would be a great place to study or work as it is moderately quiet, especially on a Sunday. I cannot wait to go back and share this with my friends and family! read more

Stopped by for dinner today and got a beer here and some food from Norte. I got the Mexican lager, with a lime of course, and it was refreshing and delicious! Would absolutely get it again and hope I can find it at a grocery store. Plenty of seating inside and outside. There is covered outside seating, too. Dogs allowed outside. Definitely recommend for a nice, modern brewery with some tasty food trucks on the same lot. read more

Hi Sign Brewing - Margarita - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

This might win for WORST margarita in Austin. It was literally clear. Turn on the AC and buy some fans for inside. Hot and humid and won't be back. read more

This was a wonderful "last stop" on our way to the airport. Our beertender was wonderful and answered all of our beer questions. They have a couple of food trucks on the patio. The only one that was open when we stopped by was the Grilled Cheese truck, and they were out of most of the toppings. So, plan to be flexible on food when you visit. The beers are great! Lots of options and a little something for everyone. Stick to the beers. The cocktails are batched and honestly, just not very good. But, the beers more that make up for the cocktails ;) read more

Hi Sign Brewing - Wooderson IPA - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I rarely give a poor review, but the way I was treated by an employee warrants it. I was screamed at for having a dog inside, when the brewery's branding on coasters is quite literally "drink beer and pet dogs". Their Instagram is also full of dogs visiting the brewery, so I had no idea they were not pet friendly. There was no sign from the door that I had entered in that said no dogs allowed. Obviously I would not have brought my dog indoors if there were clear signs. We were there for over an hour with some friends, minding our own business, when a bar back came storming towards us and yelled "NO DOGS INSIDE CANT YOU READ??" And pointed at small acrylic stick-on letters on a glass window that were hidden by an indoor yeti water tank... that has dog bowls beneath it. A polite "hey no dogs are allowed indoors in 103 degree heat, can you please go outside?" Would have been nice, but I guess hospitality has a different definition here. Their patio has no shade, fans, or misters... so it's not really a comfortable place for humans or dogs. Our group certainly won't be back. Plenty of amazing breweries in Austin to hang at where the staff is courteous... this isn't one of them. read more

I came in to this cute little spot last weekend with some of my Yelp work peeps. We only came in for drinks so I cant comment on the food. What I got: Tito's Blueberry Spritz What's the perfect way to start brunch? With bubbles and Tito's Handmade Vodka, of course. This drink was refreshing and light yet if you drink more than one, it will get you there! The service experienced while here was quick, polite and accurate. read more

This is such a cute spot! I came here for a little event where about a dozen people came through. The place is clean and the tables are big enough to accommodate about ten of us comfortably. The bathrooms are clean too. Hi Sign itself doesn't serve food, but there are several food trucks outside. I enjoyed some hot cocoa with some whisky in it. So tasty. They served these in nice mugs too. Everyone who bought something said their drinks were delicious. You can also get a coffee in a to go cup. The staff is all super friendly and came through multiple times to clear out our used dishes since we were doing crafts and had limited space on the table as we worked. TLDR: Spacious, relaxed, friendly and bustling staff, food trucks, and boozy hot cocoa. read more

Call me picky, but I was not impressed by this brewery. Came on a Thursday evening and still had an issue finding parking. The outside had limited shade and was HOT. I usually take my dogs to breweries but wouldn't come here with them unless it was cooler. Beer selection was small, though something for everyone including a few wines Food truck was closed so Plan on getting food elsewhere. I didn't even see snacks available at the tap. It was clean inside but very dingy. No games like most breweries have inside. Dogs are not allowed inside which was very odd for a spot that doesn't have food. At least there weren't kids running around. No TVs. I guess there was wifi as lots of people were on laptops. Bathrooms were probably the only thing I enjoyed, fun wall paper. read more

Hi Sign Brewing - Bathroom - Breweries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Friendly bartenders, modern decor, outdoor tables and of course, great beer, make Hi Sign a must visit destination in (far) East Austin. At the suggestion of the staff, I tried the Ajoy (Czech Pilsner) and the Violet (blueberry blonde ale). The Ajoy (I think pronounced Ahoy) was crisp and delicious, perfect for a nice day outdoors. I actually don't think this is a great example of Czech Pilsner because it wasn't really hoppy & bitter at all, which frankly wasn't a problem! I'd gladly drink this beer all day long. But the Violet is really what they're known for. If you ever see Hi Sign at a bar or restaurant (and you often will) it's almost always the Violet. And for good reason! It packs just enough natural blueberry flavor to give this beer a lot of interest, w/ out overwhelming the drink. And like I said, it tastes natural, just like a blueberry! This isn't some artificially flavored seltzer. Violet, like the Ajoy, is a very refreshing beer, great for a nice day outside. I will say the outdoor area isn't the best in Austin - it's just a repurposed parking lot - but with lights strung over top, and a park across the street, many of the views do add to the ambiance. read more

A great spot to grab a beer or cocktail. We came by on a Sunday afternoon looking for a slightly chiller spot to hang out and play some games. We got there around 2pm and the place was pretty quiet. A few tables inside and out that were taken, but for the most part, no lines at all. We grabbed our drinks and took a spot outside. The property is on the larger side and plenty of room for pets if you have them. They have multiple water bowls around for use which is always a plus. Inside, the place was nearly spotless. Everything looks and feels new which is always nice. We both ordered a couple of beers and very happy with our order. One side note, if you are there when drag bingo is happening next door, be prepared for some very loud screams and cheers outside. Plenty of street parking available as well. read more

35 minutes for a beer. One bartender, 40 people. Not impressed, disappointing service.

This place has vibes and is among the places I find in austin borrowing a CA aesthetic. It's also clear they recently opened (as in within the last yr or so). We stopped by on a 2023 March Saturday afternoon when they happened to be hosting the Austin Flea. It was surprisingly slow (Austin, are y'all okay when it comes to the brewery scene? What's going on y'all?). The service was friendly & nice. Our beertender we offered a recommendation or two but as avid craft beer drinkers, we have our standard go to's/baseline beers before we get too creative with a new place. The Eastside Pilsner is a solid easy drinking brew read more

This place has a great vibe. We went on a Sunday in the afternoon and it was steady but not super busy. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the Violet and their October fest. Pretty standard October fest very rich and malty. Definitely impressed with the Violet. A fruity blonde ale with notes of blueberry, wasn't very sweet and not very light, you taste the notes of blueberry. I recommend checking that beer out. If you don't like beer, they have coffee, wine and specialty cocktails. Great place for everyone not just beer lovers. The outside seating has outdoor games and a food truck. Will definitely come back. read more

Awesome beer, decent location (right under the flight path which is actually kinda cool to see and bummer for them right now with all the construction) Great brewery in Austin nestled on the Eastside close to the airport Brewery is right under the flight path which is actually kind of cool to see the planes fly over so close and it doesn't happen crazy often I feel super bad for the brewery because there has been crazy construction on the freeway in front, so if you are looking to go here, make sure you use gps to help you get to the right exit. If you are looking for some great beer (IPAs, Stouts, and blueberry lager were my favorites), then check this place out! read more

Loved everything about our experience. Reese was super knowledgeable and very personable. Don't live in the area so it'll be a treat moving forward. Don't sleep on their happy hour. $5 all drafts, wine, and draft cocktails. They also have great N/A options! read more

Awesome craft brewery! Really great range of IPA's! The brewer has a great understanding of IPA flavor profiles. I did a tasting flight of 5 IPA's. All were awesome! Both staffers working the bar were cool - and we had some fun and interesting conversations about brewing. Please note that getting into this craft brewery my be a bit difficult in the near term. Road construction is currently blocking access to one end of the road that leads to the brewery. Both Apple Maps and Waze were unaware of the fact that one end of the road is closed for construction. Both apps attempted to direct me a way which is currently inaccessible. #HiSignBrewing read more

Hi Sign Brewing's new location on Shady Lane opened on 7/9/22. It is a very nice and has bar stools, bench seating, and couch style seats as well. It is a very nicely decorated taproom with a large mural inside. There are some seats outdoors, but limited shade, so it can be quite hot during the summers. The parking lot is fairly large, so parking shouldn't be an issue. They serve beer, coffee, cocktail, and wine here. The staff mentioned that they will be expanding their cocktail and wine selection. Dogs are allowed outside only. Burro cheese food truck is on-site in the parking lot serving grilled cheese. If ordering food, you need to order directly with the food truck. read more

If you are looking for a place to host an event no need to look further than Hi-Sign! The atmosphere inside and out is fantastic along with great service.

It's safe to say I've found my favorite Austin brewery. Hi Sign is AWESOME! We got a flight of four beers ($10) and they were all fantastic. My favorite has to be The Astronaut - a bitter and hoppy double IPA that wasn't too sweet. The space itself is amazing. They have indoor seating, a deck, as a huge yard with picnic tables and hammocks. It's dog friendly (out back at least), and an all around beautiful space to spend an afternoon. There's a second room with TVs, games (some big connect 4s and jenga), and more seating as well. The staff is great too - they're super friendly and knowledgeable. Also, fun extra, it's right in the path of the planes coming to land at the airport. So, if you sit outside, you can watch the planes fly low overhead. Inside, they have a screen that tracks nearby flights. Cool! read more

The beer was great and the staff was superb when they could hear the customer's orders. The venue has major acoustic problems which make it very difficult to hear someone even near you when a crowd is inside. We would have stayed longer for more beer if the noise was better controlled. Not sure how the staff stands being in their so long when it's busy. So basically, if there is a small crowd, highly recommended. If not, I would go somewhere else. read more

YES to Hi Sign. Hi Sign has what a lot of breweries are lacking which is focus a clean, simple focus of great beer and bringing people together.... They have a great selection of brews including a sour which the names escapes me but i'd go back for alone. I really like that this place isn't filled w/ electronics (games, tvs, etc), you can actually go and enjoy the company of friends w/ a cold drink. It's a clean design inside w/ some minor acoustic issues but that's not uncommon in large buildings. . The staff was fantastic. Old school Austin friendly vibe. They also have a large outside area which i really like. I did go when it was cold so the standard brutal Texas heat wasn't an issue. The bathrooms were clean and adorable. My only negative is the prices of the T-shirts. Holy hanna, I wanna rep your brewery but I don't get paid THAT much. I'll defiantly be back and I'll still verbally rep them for keeping things simple and great. read more
