Great example of a dive bar. Bartenders were cool and also timely. Even when they got slammed they had a system down and everyone seemed to walk away with drinks quickly. Need to try the food next time we come. read more

RUDE asshole bartenders... snooty & privileged guys that seem a bit comfortable . Ive visited many bars from California to the Midwest to New York City. These guys snickered behind the bar as if they knew it all. Annoying. Will never come back here again and will warn people of this place, solely because of the attitude . read more

This pub is a great watering hole for after work drinks, chilling on the weekend, or just getting a cold one by yourself. I appreciate that the prices are lower here than many bars in the area. A bonus is that the food is really good! I was surprised by how good their burger was. I appreciate this little unpretentious gem that's down the street from me. Gotta try it! read more

The Hideout Pub has been absolutely the best place to go for over 20 years, but last Tuesday, it destroyed its everything by changing its menu to weird stuff. You can no longer get the old Hideout menu food but If you want that , you have to go to either Bastrop or to Smithville. I recommend Bastrop location read more

Not as good as it used to be. Last two visits they only had one cashier. He was making drinks and taking orders. Line was always long. It is too too too dark inside to see your food, drink or whomever you are with. Music is too loud to have a conversation. Overall I think it is still an ok place to hang out and not have to deal with tourists or those new to Austin. But it has also passed it's prime. read more

Your Yelper Girl here! I attended the Hideout Pub for Happy Hour. The apps that were ordered were good, as were the drinks. You have to order at the bar and the lines were long at times. Prices seemed fair. I liked that there was an outside sitting area. Overall, it seemed like a decent place to have a drink and apps. and hang out with friends. read more

The hideout pub was on the list of my companion for the evening, on places she really wanted to hit on her visit to the city. She had moved away and still loves to hit some of the great dive bars in the area. This was number two on her list. Cheeseburger was delicious, the kind that drips grease down your arms and melts in your mouth. The beer was cold and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately,, my plus one's cocktail was not very well mixed or balanced. She changed her drink selection to a more simpler drink for round two. We would have stayed longer, but it was too stinking hot. The seating area outback had misters going, but they had drenched the benches and had not really been set properly... It was a hot mess Inside, someone had turned the jukebox (TouchTunes) volume way down, definitely hard to hear any of the selections we had purchased The spot has great potential and has a great location. Will be back when it gets a little cooler. read more

I could never say anything bad about this bar. I can't say I've ever had the trouble of long lines or tourists. The prices are true, the food is stellar, and it's LOCAL. It really doesn't make sense to go anywhere else around here.The TVs and projector are always playing popular sport games & fights. When sports aren't on they are showing a Criterion Collection level of movie choices. The bartenders are cool and they know it and I love that. The patio is huge and inside is kept nice and breezy. A little slice of heaven. Please never change! read more

Here's a joint that I have been aware of for many years, yet I forget exists at all until I drive by it every 3 or 4 years or so. I pulled off of Mo-Pac once about 15 years ago just to run in for a quick pee. After that, I quickly left with nary a glance toward the bar. But as fate would have it, I visited this place a few weeks back only because my wife's friend - let's call her Candy - wanted us to watch a Notre Dame football game with her and some of her other friends, none of whom I had ever met before. I don't give a damn about Notre Dame football. They weren't playing any Texas team, either, so I was wholly uninterested in this spectacle. We made a point to show up a tad later than Candy told my wife the game would start, but it turned out that Candy misinformed us about the game's start time. It would be nearly another hour before the Notre Dame kickoff. And I was hungry. They took my order at the bar for a Black N' Blue Burger and even gave me a number - 39 - to place on my table. Nearly an hour later - right before the kickoff - I went back up to the bar to inquire about my food. That's when I was informed that they were out of nearly everything foodwise, except fried cheese. They knew this right after they took my order, yet never bothered to come out and let me know. It was a Saturday night, and this place had no real food. Yikes. For my troubles, they gave me some fried cheese on the house. It was...blah. I didn't want fried cheese. I never want fried cheese. The draft beers I drank were cold enough I suppose, though a bit on the pricy side. Ultimately, I doubt I will ever return to this place on my own accord, that is unless I need to run through to pee again. read more

Wow...the drinks were pretty bland and bad. Ion surprised because I had su CJ a great experience yrs ago--but bartenders change and quality isn't always consistent. Now the wings? They are consistent and still amazing...my date enjoyed his food as well. It's not as "cheap" as they advertise but the food is good , people are still friendly and place is spacious I'll go back but will not get a drink if the same tender is working...he was nice but the drinks weren't!! ‍ read more

What I "got" from this experience was that Hideout Pub is a dive bar with craft cocktails and pub fare - and excellent service. HUGE shout out to the staff (or perhaps owners) who were so welcoming from the moment our group of seven walked in eager to order drinks and food (one hour before their kitchen was set to close). They found out we just wrapped up a long work day (15 hours) and greeted our table with a round of complimentary Jello shots. We ordered everything from southwestern chicken eggrolls, chips and queso, wings, fries, chicken tenders, fried steak fingers paired with old fashioneds, negronis, beer, and more jello shots! Great time, highly recommend! read more

Did you say dive bar? Yes please. Did you say food, drinks, and great-bad movies? Count me in. After a nice Austin SSC dodgeball or kickball game... catch me outside. read more

My crew has been coming here for years and it's a perfect chill dive bar for Austinites. Inside they have a big screen and other TVs where you will always find the games on. I truly come here for their food though. My go-to is their wings. They are on the larger side for wings these days. Perfectly crispy skin each time. My new favorite is cheesy fries. I killed the basket and although it was plentiful I still wanted more. Now their burgers are the real highlight here. They cook it perfectly medium rare each time. Love the beer selection. My favorite is their haze and you can't beat a $5 draft! The place truly is hidden if it's your first time, the parking lot is very dark. They have a patio with lots of space. It is not dog friendly though is the only bummer here. read more

My daughter-in-law had my third grand daughter across the street today. What a beautiful event for an old man. I had not eaten all day and Google searched wings near by. The Hideout popped up across the street from the hospital. Thought what the heck. Let's give it a try. What a great whim. I got the wings with the Blazzin sauce. Totally great meaty wings with a really nice spicy sauce. Will for sure be back. Great service also. I didn't grab a beer or drink this trip but they have a really nice selection of beer and spirits. Good job Hideout!! read more

This is a dive bar, and that's not a bad thing. One of the best burgers in all of Austin. I will type that out again but really slowly to make sure you got that the first time: the hideout pub has one of the best burgers in all of Austin. I said what I said. Order at the bar, and they bring it to your table. Happy hour specials, and random movies projected onto a huge screen. It's kind of perfect. Don't tell anyone. read more

Im such a stickler for details when it comes to food. Everytime I try fried pickles I take note of the ratio of pickle to fry portion. So many places over salt or gice you way too much of thr fried part and very little value. This place nails it, the chicken strips and BBQ Burger were also top notch. I love this place , its been here for quite awhile and it hast let its standards slip and i believe they deserve a shoutout for that. I love there overall vibe and laidback feel. Great staff and chill management. For any people in the area who are looking for a new spot to try out, come by The Hideout, its badass! read more

Hideout Pub is a local watering hole in the northern neighborhood in Austin, TX. Features plenty of outdoor seating for dining and drinks. I got their wings and fried pickles they have great fried pickles but wasn't the biggest fan of their wings. Felt they were way to saucy. They offer plenty of bar food and a full service bar. Great spot to hangout with you and your friends to get cheap drinks and food. I went back for a second time and got the mean green burger and a side of mozzarella sticks. The burger was great and full of delicious flavor. read more

So, someone left a shady review. I was there. I'm an Elite Yelper. That one star review that was left is garbage. When someone comes in at 1:58 asking for a DOUBLE Bullet and the bartender won't comply, that's not a business issue, that's a YOU issue. Look at the time the review was filed. There were three people at the bar - the two other patrons were both Mexican-per her " racism" call and me. The person who wanted the double - that person went to the bathroom. The other person, did not have ID and was asked to leave the bar immediately, left the bar. He at first, didn't comply with the request and then sat down, as the staff was cleaning up. He was told to leave and gathered her things. When she returned from the bathroom, it was 2:03 - after closing per TABC - you can't negotiate a drink after closing, to which she was upset. Again, look at the time it was posted. But, at the end of the day, the Hideout is an A+ spot that's built for locals and I'm a proud local. When the people who drink in the bar have to stand up, we stand by our bartenders. That person was not a customer, she wanted a shot and to drive home. Full stop, check the cameras and ask the three people who sat and saw it all. read more

I have been to this bar twice and absolutely love it! The first time I came in it was pretty slow so I was able to talk to the staff. They were amazing. I had the mean green burger and highly recommend it. Spicy and full of flavor, it was so good. The second time I came in they all remembered not only my name but my drink as well. That's top notch for me. I will continue to come to this pub for the remainder of my stay in Austin. Love this little jewel! read more

My wife and I recently visited the Hideout Pub for the first time and we plan to go back. We had grilled chicken sandwiches that were good, and we liked the atmosphere there. While eating, we noticed that every other diner in sight was having the hamburger, or cheeseburger, so that's what we will have next time. We found the staff friendly and helpful. We're new to the neighborhood and plan to go back often. It's nice to have a Hideout to escape to. :-) read more

The best burger you'd never expect. I was on my way back down south and needed something to eat desperately so this popped up as the closest location. It's right by the highway so I figured I'd stop by, grab a bite and leave. The wait was longer than expected and the to go box was lighter than expected but when I ate the burger it lit up the light in my eyes read more

Came in while visiting town on a business trip. I sat at the bar which was semi awkward layout. However the bartender was still helpful. He recommended different food for me.

I finally got a chance to checkout Cat's infamous hideout, and it did not disappoint. It's the typical neighborhood dive bar that I expected it to be, but that's not a bad thing. Some of the best things happen in a place like this! TRUST me, it's nothing but fun, fun, fun, with a capital F-U-N! It's a good place to do some day drinking, or hang out until the wee hours of the morn'. As Tina R said in her review, lots of interesting characters lurk in this place. Including "that" guy who likes to butt into your conversation, and then carry the conversation and not give anyone else a chance to talk. But I won't dock 'em a star for that. Every neighborhood bar has "that" guy in it. It's a package deal. Inside is kind of dark and it takes a minute for your eyeballs to adjust if you enter during the daytime. But after a few minutes, all is well and you'll soon be jamming out to the old school jukebox. You won't find any Touch Tunes here folks - yes, it still uses CDs (who would have imagined CDs would ever be considered old school?). Here's the most important part of this review before I blather on with all of the interesting factoids: If you learn nothing else this year, learn this my young Padawans: Many people say it's hard to find, so here's a tip - if you cross the railroad tracks on the access/frontage road, you have just passed it. Turn right on the last street that you see right BEFORE you get to the tracks, and then take another right turn into the parking lot. DON'T cross the railroad tracks! There's a decent outdoor patio with plenty of picnic tables, and a few of them are shaded. 10 dollar minimum for using a credit card (pet peeve of mine). Wi-Fi password "cheapdr1nks" all in lower case. 12 local and regional craft beers on tap (I counted). They have about 30 brews in cans and bottles, most of them are from the ATX or at least regional. The big name brews are only available in bottles and cans, not on tap. It's a little pricey for a dive bar - pints of Thirsty Goat were 4.50 Full bar - liquor and eraythang! Six TVs, and a large projector screen (yes I counted). Yes, they do have food - I didn't partake, but they have tacos, a couple of salads, burgers, sammiches, and the usual bar appetizers. Every one of the picnic tables on the patio has Cat's name carved in it (she's the current duchess but has fled the city, so it won't last long. Get out there and claim it boys and girls). Rumor has it that this picnic table vandalism is why she had to leave the ATX, but who knows the real truth? read more

My little hidden burger and beer joint! This is truly a place to unwind after a long work day or catch up with friends. It really is a little hidden if you don't recognize the right exit. Service is always fun and funny. They make the day go by with a funny sense of humor. If you don't get, don't come lmao. Good and draft beers are on point! read more

First time there with friends. It's a nice place good music. Had fun time with friends. Good service .

Best neighborhood bar in North Austin for a casual hangout. Their staff is great, they'll give out recommendations if you ask. They have both an indoor tv area and outdoor seating. Food is delicious, I would recommend their wings or burgers. read more

This place has always been recommended to me for their burgers, but I still haven't gotten to try one yet. In the very near future for sure though! The location is pretty easy to miss if you don't know exactly where it is or have your GPS on. It definitely earns the name Hideout! Parking is a bit of a problem when it's a busier time so I'd suggest going early or taking a ride share. The inside can be pretty dark (but it is a bar so that's to be expected.) They have a pretty good sized outdoor area with plenty of seating. The staff is petty friendly and so are most of the patrons. We are apart of a group that meets here regularly and everyone has always been very nice to us. Best part is, it's less than a few blocks from where we live so very convenient. I've tried the fries, fried pickles and fried cheese curds and they were all pretty good and came out hot and fresh. Will update when I get to try a burger, but over all I would definitely recommend people check them out. Just take an Uber so you don't have to worry about parking read more

Really good neighborhood feeling to it. Good food good service. Could use a pool table with other games here though...

Some notes for anyone trying to sit outside/be COVID-safe: They have outdoor seating but to access it you have to go through the indoor bar first. To exit, same thing. The staff doesn't wear masks (some do but not all) inside. They do not allow dogs in their outdoor patio. They have picnic tables spaced out. You can only order food at the bar; they don't have QR codes on their outdoor tables to allow remote ordering. They do bring out your food to your table, though. If you go during winter, come prepared to bundle up because they have no space heaters in the open-air patio. TLDR; bring your mask because you're going to have to go inside at some point. Leave Fido at home, bring a jacket. read more

A little piece of old Austin vibe. I love the patio. Late night snacks. Dark - the way a bar should be. Always good tunes. Nice staff

I came here for a small get together with my other Yelper friends over the weekend. This place is a dive bar plain and simple. I enjoyed the look and feel of the place and the cheap booze. My only gripe is that it is on the North side of Austin for me. I will note that my husband and I ordered the nachos here. I wasn't impressed with them but honestly you don't come here for the food. You come here for booze and maybe the people if you are feeling up to it. read more

I love wing wednesday! They have great wings and all sorts of flavors. They do charge you for everything, which is quirky. It's not expensive at all, so it's really not upsetting. Just a funny thing I noticed. You're charged for condiments and celery. When you're paying 75 cents for wings and cheap drinks, it's a drop in the bucket. The patio is great and so lively. It is fairly busy. I would even suggest getting there as early as possible because parking is limited. There is a weird gravelly lot for overflow parking, but I have a little sedan and not a 4-wheeler to get over the ditch that is there. They do allow smoking outside, so if you're sensitive to that then the patio is not for you. At first it bothered me, but had a great time catching up with friends and eating up those wings! read more
