Be careful if you open a tab at this place, and read your receipt closely. They are happy to double charge you by adding a 20% gratuity without telling you or posting that anywhere, and then the receipt has the common "Tip Suggestions" calculated and printed at the bottom near where you sign. Not only is 20% high when there was no real service provided, such as a server at a restaurant, or taking your order before standing at the bar for 15 minutes trying to get their attention. But since the service was actually very slow and not very good, I was feeling like 20% would be the maximum added, ad probably less considering they were just serving pre-made drinks, where $1/drink is fair and $2/drink is quite generous. But the fact that they then intentionally try to mislead and trick you into giving them more money by secretly adding in 20%, then giving you a non-itemized receipt with 3 Tip Suggestions at the bottom, for 20%, 25% and 30%, right by where you sign. Because I didn't catch it, I apparently paid about $22 in gratuity for a $52 tab. $6 would have been fair, and $10 would be generous. Yet they felt the need to trick me and countless other patrons into giving them $22 to hand me 6 drinks that I had to wait around for a long time to even get. I thought it was an ok place, but now I won't ever step foot in there again because of this intentional dishonestly. The owner should be ashamed.

Ever feel like you were missing that warm and cozy feeling of a neighborhood bar? Yeah, in the middle of the concrete jungle that is downtown Austin. Take a walk up the hill and feel right at home. Whether you're looking to chill with friends, make new friends, or find a getaway while traffic is still in gridlock, they've got you covered. Great spot! Great drinks! And good times with good people!

Love the owner super nice place

My fiancé and I had stopped into Higbies after Small Victory around the corner. The drinks at SC were a grand disappointment; and after sharing our experience with Kelli behind the bar, she hospitably made us feel right at home and made us an old fashioned. We had a nice time and met some regular patrons also. We discovered that Higbies is an industry bar where other workers from other bars like to go and meet and get a drink after they get off work. Kelli is the real deal and we could tell and affirm that all the other patrons enjoyed her welcoming, hospitable, and professional service.

Excellent costumer service!!! Taco was great

Pool is free and the drinks were great! I highly recommend their old fashioned, their espresso martini, and the Aire
