Departure Lounge

I LOVE the free coffee refills! Mary was super friendly! The southwest chicken wrap is a full meal! I am trying to fly through Austin’s south terminal more to enjoy the space.

ignore the reviews, THIS PLACE IS AWESOME. Cutest little bar in the airport with such a luxury loungy feel. It's great. I sat here for over an hour while waiting for my flight. I was able to get a lot of work done while sipping on an iced latte and crushing this crispy, flaky croissant. Filled with scrambled egg and feta cheese with a side of spinach....just yum. I added bacon because it's bacon. Give this place a try, I loved it!

Great experience here. Keep in mind this is an airport bar so you are likely about to get on a flight, or are waiting for someone else to get off theirs and you need to kill some time.

Pro-tip: Making your single order into a double costs just an extra $5. This is a great piece of information when you're ordering a fairly expensive bourbon (some of the prices were $12-17 for a single), so making it a double was cost effective.

Yo. This is the best bar in the whole airport. RJ is a great bartender and super friendly. Best bloodies in ABIA.

Amazing service, and great drinks. In reference to previous reviews, if you are ordering coffee from the barista and want to sit down, I recommend specfying that you're dining in because the lounge area is full service.

Very fast service, prices explained prior to committing to buy, drink mixed well. Much better than Annie's.

Evon made the whole experience awesome

Best place to grab few drinks before leaving Austin

Polite service, a couple of comfy chairs, and a decent bloody mary! (Better than other airport spots) Only downside was they were not serving food at the time and the music was quite loud

We stopped by for coffee and a danish. The cashier was lively, and amazing. She was a great multi tasked and we couldn’t have had a better experience there.

I would revisit based on the customer service alone. The cream cheese danish is great when it’s warm. The cafe’ latte needed more sweetener. But overall you could tell it was a quality coffee.

Amazing service at breakfast this morning. Solid breakfast choices. Glad to see more option at the airport, the place opened 6 weeks ago. A few nice carry-on options as well. Full bar for the weary.

Friendly bartenders, cold beer, it is a good option while you wait to board your flight

Caring and efficient service. Great caprese sandwich with warm bread and fresh ingredients. Expensive - but no surprise, it’s the airport!

I only got a coffee and hung out for 45 minutes, but the staff was very friendly, place was comfortable, plenty of seating

Food is pretty much a Sam's Club menu with airport prices. Connected to a coffee shop but there's no sign to tell you where to order... meh

No vegan options. Drinks are okay but weak and service is slow.

Yep, it's the airport. Not a world-class airport by any stretch of the imagination, but by the depressing low standards of American airports this is about as good as it gets.

I'd give this place a 5 star if it wasn't for my very rude waitress. After my girlfriend and I ordered drinks, I sat at the bar to use a plug for my laptop- and was asked to leave by (overheard her name) Dani, as apparently only paying customers are allowed to stay (even though we hadn't been cashed out yet). After explaining that I had previously finished my drink (and wanted more, no less) and that my girlfriend had made another order- she rolled her eyes and took my order. The food was fantastic- but the remaining part of my stay was handled by another waiter (Ronald, according to my receipt) who was working hard to keep everyone in the place satisfied while she sat around and chatted with another blonde gentleman, clearly working as little as possible. Ronald was clearly in overdrive, running tables and the bar alone.
For the remainder of my time there (I ordered more, because the beer was good, as well as the food, go figure) she proceeded to give me dirty looks and shooting glances at the end of the bar, as if I was annoying her with my presence there. I'm not sure what my problem was being there, but I honestly would've had even more to eat and drink if she wasn't on shift.
