The coffee shop is a large, high-ceiling room adjacent to the hotel lobby, with an upstairs and patio. Upstairs is the place to go, it is a well-decorated, library feeling room that is quiet enough to do some reading or work, but still a level where conversation would be okay. Coffee itself has been consistently high quality with a small assortment of baked/prepared goods as well.

UPDATE: many reviews mentioned 4 hour parking, but this is no longer true - it is 2 HOUR parking the with a fee of $10 afterword. Not ideal for a remote working location for more than a short break. Matcha was one of the more expensive in Austin but solid. Food was great (got the birria tacos which were SO tender, although I did have a slight stomach ache right after - maybe just the grease). Went on a Tues during the day and there were many people working upstairs (quietly), but available seats for 2 or 3 ppl downstairs.

Parking? Easy. They have a front lot off Congress and another one off Sandra (just South on…read moreCongress after you pass the bar). The drinks? Oh my gaaahhd. I'm usually not a fan of 'craft cocktails' out bc they're overpriced and not nearly as good as what my partner makes at home, but these were glorious. These drinks had layers of flavor. And fresh ingredients. And they were reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't even remember the last time we had such good drinks out (ok that's a lie but another review and it was at that place where Crowbar used to be - but these win hands down). The bartenders were nice and knowledgeable (Did I mention they make amazing drinks?). The outside has a similar feel to Cosmic but more secluded which is nice. They have plenty of seating, mostly outside, and food from an onsite truck, Sabor Tapatio. Honestly, I feel like this place is a unicorn. 78745 low key vibe but also with some old school Austin feels (I'm talking 2005 mid-Noughties - not 20-teen Rainey Street batch cocktails). They also have coffee in the mornings which we'll be checking out sooner rather than later. 10/10 recommend.

There are plenty of different seating options but very few seats inside. The place is chill, ordering drinks took some time even with no rush. Seems like they have some pre-mixed type of cocktails. Honestly, neither of us liked our drinks much. We actually left it behind. The food truck is nice to have though we didn't get to try. Happy that South Austin is finally seeing some nice spacious outdoor hangout spots.

Plenty of outdoor seating (some with heaters on a cold night, some shaded for food/drinks during the day), and pretty much everything you need from a food/drink option. Bar lines moved quickly, and though we didn't get to try the food trucks on this visit (seemed like a pizza and bbq choice), they looked great! Not a lot of parking for such a large capacity venue (I'd guess this can easily host 1,000+ between indoor and outdoor standing room). Would recommend you plan a rideshare in advance!

It was a bit amusing since the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, aside from one table and only one other couple came in by the time we finished our meal.

I ordered the Cajun surf and turf (shrimp) on a bed of garlic noodles. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was crazy tender and well seasoned, the shrimp had a nice pop, and I could have JUST had a plate of noodles; they were that good. The Cajun sauce complemented everything well. Even the smattering of green beans, which were probably there to add color, were outstanding. The restaurant itself was comfortable ...which is a compliment. The parking was easy. The service was outstanding. The prices were ...lower than they should have been given how delicious the food was. I will definitely recommend CK Kitchen and Bar to my friends.

I got the trio of shrimp tacos and it came out to a bit over $15. While I guess that's not crazy for 3 tacos, it felt like a lot for a taco truck meal. The tacos themselves were good, and I can't hate on them, but it just wasn't my jam. The combination of shrimp and cheese just didn't do it for me in this dish, and I felt like there could have been more shrimp. I dunno. Was a very sloppy meal to eat and I was pretty full when done, in fairness. I'll need to come back here and try something else at some point to give them another chance at a higher rating.

They had just released a new drink menu, and I tried one that was made with vegan cream of coconut and tequila. It was SO good and refreshing.

It moved a lot faster than regular bowling which kept things exciting. This place is massive! They have so many other games and activities as well but we didn't get a chance to explore so we'll have to come back next time. They had food vendors on site so we ordered cheese and pepperoni pizza from Lefty's Pizza Kitchen for dinner. The cheese was surprisingly better than the pepperoni. They also cut it into really small pieces which made it fun to grab a slice, bowl a frame, and go back for more. The cocktails were really good and affordable too. Carrie Fisher ($12): Rum, coconut, pineapple, lime juice, and rock candy. Loved the fun rock candy topper though it was very hard to eat. The drink was on the lighter side and easy to drink. Atomic Blonde ($12): Tequila, mezcal, honey mango, and pineapple with a chamoy and tajin candy stick. The candy stick was freaking delicious, and the drink was pretty tasty too. Such a great pairing that we ordered a second one. The Game Over ($18): A 25 oz drink in a reusable plastic mason jar with 8 liquors, sprite, lemonade, and Hawaiian punch. Not bad but mixing that many spirits tends to give me a headache so it wasn't really my thing. The other two cocktails tasted better to me as well.

NOT SO at this establishment! It was PERFECTION! Actually juicy, full of grilled flavor and expertly paired with toppings of their choice. I changed nothing and now I think I'm ruined because nobody will ever serve me a better burger! I also had the elote dip and it was also STELLAR! Bravo y'all!
