Great local bar for a cold drink in the middle of Rainey Street. Nothing fancy, just good people and good drinks! Thanks Nathan!!

Nice little spot in the middle of Rainey. We both got the Carajillo - it was pretty small but was made well and was pretty tasty. We just had drinks - no food.

Was recommended by another fanatic bar owner on the street. Too bad the recommendation was off. Absolutely rude staff. Read previous comments. Fantastic hole in the wall bar but service is way off base. If you talk to all of your customers like they are college kids then you re never going to pull in other market segments. Out of towners and will never be back or recommend to others.

I went to a pop-up event for their burgers, and they had another one of their restaurants instead. They basically charged us 20 plus tip for a Philly cheese steak made out of hamburger meat, and it was absolutely gross. Poor quality for a high price and just not what I was expecting.

Probably my favorite place in town to get a coffee and a brekky burrito! No frills or goofy nu-atx nonsense. Always a good movie on the CRT

Only place that makes Rainey street tolerable. Great bartenders who treat you like the drunk scumbag you are and join in the mayhem with you. If google had a chocolate starfish rating it would absolutely be hotdog flavored Water. Unless you consider yourself a Karen or have Karen tendencies you will love this bar. Ps. Alex and his dirty pornstache are amazing, top tier style and sarcasm.

My wife thought the bar was really big and insisted it was definitely above average. Walked up and the Bartender was shotgunning Gatorade. I want to be his friend. Great atmosphere and I will come back again! 5/5 food 5/5 service 5/5 atmosphere Food

Johnny was our bartender here and even though we were the only ones here, he couldn t even be bothered to mix us a drink. Complete a**hole and I won t go here again even though I live down the street. Such a bad experience he literally motivated me to post my first review on google.

My wife was ordering at this establishment. We went here for breakfast while staying in Austin on the renowned Rainey street thinking it would be a free spirited, fun environment. However, it seems like maybe the younger generation that claims to be so relaxed & non-judgemental has morphed into an angry, rude & anti-social group. He rudely answered her questions & even attempted to tell her this isn t Starbucks. Maybe if it had been a Starbucks the service would have been pleasant.

If youre planning to walk and shop on South Congress, do not pass Go before stopping in the Little Brother location, inside Maufrais hat shop. Their coffee is divine and their kolaches are delectable. They are crispy and meaty and really hit the spot! You wont be disappointed by this cool Austin hole-in-the-wall. And the cups make for a very Instagrammable-photo :)

Go to a bad Larrys burgers popular event. It is pop up burger place. The people line up and wait for Larry pump out trays of burgers. Pop-ups frequently occur on random Mondays at Little Brothers. Sometimes these popup events even include a band.

Little place to pop in on Rainey ST when you need a break from the chaos. Havent had coffee there but the drinks are good and the bartenders were friendly. You can hold a conversation too without having to scream over the music and the small intimidate size lends itself to a more friendly crowd and less to larger groups that dont really act social to others

Awesome little side bar on Rainey. Open far earlier than everything else. Amazing selection of off the beaten path liqueurs and actual VHS tapes playing. We went on a Thursday afternoon and the bartender (never got her name) was very friendly and made the experience that much more memorable. If youre looking for a spot on Rainey before the big boys open, this is where its at.

Tiny, intimate, and fun. This littlest bar on Rainey has it all densely packed into a few square feet. I ordered a Jameson Latte because they do coffee and booze very well. A little VHS player sits in one corner and they will let you pick the movie if youre cool. Definitely go with a friend, not a group. Seating is plentiful outside but the A/C inside is to die for. Menus are adorable, possibly covered with inside jokes from the owners. Good beer selection too!
