Hoot & Annie — Restaurant in Round Rock

Been dying to check this spot out and it did not disappoint. We are HP and bomb cocktail buffs so this place was truly magical. We came on their busiest day, a Saturday night, so my one and only complaint is how crammed it is because it's a small spot. Ironically, I have been to all the bars next to here and never noticed this spot (ironically goes with the platform 9 3/4 theme). We came at 11 pm and were able to snag a table from a group who was leaving thankfully. We were only going to stay for one drink, but they blew us away so we all got two rounds to try new ones. All of the cocktails are priced super fair if anything lower than normal prices for the amount of work and talent they put into them.

Espresso martini: 11/10 - comes in extra chilled glass Smokey old fashion: 10/10 - let us carry the smokey box to the table (never had a bar allow that, super nice and chill of them) Confringo: 10/10 - a party of flavors in your mouth Bourbon Renewal: 10/10 - The bartender said it could be a hair on the sweeter side which I don't like so he nulled the sweetness and it came out PERFECT.

They really outdid themselves with the atmosphere. The bartenders were all extremely kind and did not have an ounce of douchebaggery that typically comes with a really talented barista. We live in Manor and don't typically like coming out to Round Rock area to drink, but this spot is totally worth it for us. Look forward to coming back during a more chill time to...

Heard good things about this place. Decided to take my husband here for his birthday. Made reservations at 7:15 for 6 people (this number was an option to select which indicates they could seat a party of 6). Received a confirmation text and an additional text at 6:48 asking for me to respond with “here” when I’ve arrived and they would text me when my table was ready.

I text at 7:14 when we arrived, as instructed. It’s a small place. We are afraid that maybe we’re in the wrong part of the bar? The largest table is for 4 people and I don’t know how they would have accommodated for 6 people. We sit….sit….husband decides to just get us a drink while we wait for this response from the place that our table is ready. Husband stands at the bar (not quite full) and gets no acknowledgement from the bar tender. It’s 7:35 and we finally left to go to the Brass Tap.

If I made a reservation for 7:15, why would my table not be ready when I arrived at 7:15? Not happy with the service, reservation system, communication…or quite frankly, the facility as it appears they cannot accommodate a party of 6. And we never did receive our text indicated that our...

Came in to check this place out for the first time because I had seen all the pictures online and it looked awesome. I was waiting to meet a friend, so I decided that I would order one drink and I had a double ranch water with a Tajin rim. I asked what Anejo tequila they had, to watch the bartender indicate over towards the Clase Azul, which I knew it was a little out of my budget, so I declined that… The only other tequila he pointed to was one I had never seen before and it had a cute little Porcelain top. Again, I don’t recognize this one, but I figured it’s on a lower shelf than the Clase Azul, so it would be cheaper… I had one drink and to my surprise when I paid my ticket it was a $68 drink. I didn’t realize that I was going to be charged $34 per shot of a tequila because he never once told me the prices. I wish I would’ve had a better experience but unfortunately because I only had one drink and paid $68 FOR ONE DRINK I will never recommend this place to anybody. I will never be back and I will probably tell others to never come here and be weary that if they do, they might get reamed on...
