Hi Hat Public House

A real neighborhood jazz house. Small place w a nice front patio. Some of the best players in town, especially the Sunday brunch. No cover charge. The Breakfast Sando is a delicious mess and the Caesar Salad is special. Beer and wine available. Check the specials board on the right as you enter. Order at the counter with table delivery.

Food is a bit rich for me, kicked up southern. But it is delicious, nice biscuits, great breakfast sanso and top shelf Caesar Salad. Good, but small, selection of tap beers; similar wine choices. You'll find something you like to drink, but maybe not your best taste. I go for the fabulous music and great staff. The owner is frequently there and he cares about your experience.

I’ve had the pleasure of coming here since 2014. The food it always on point, made fresh, farm to table. I haven’t anything from Hi Hat that wasn’t amazing. The beer list is also a perfect complement to the food on menu, especially their food specials. I’m so glad they’re a staple of East Austin, and I always look forward to their weekend brunches!

What an amazing experience. We went directly here from the airport, and what a great first impression of Austin. You place your order at the bar if you are sitting in the restaurant. We just sat at the bar rail. Very friendly bartender who knows how to make amazing high-end margaritas. Order the lunch special, which was a cornbeef sandwich with coleslaw. The flavors coming through each bite were an amazing combo. The fries on the side were great. There was plenty that my wife and I split this sandwich. We met the owners who are amazing, friendly people. Even the regulars coming in were very welcoming. They also have a stage with live music inside. They have a covered front patio for outdoor seating, too. Such a great experience!
