Progress Coffee + Beer — Restaurant in Texas

UPDATE: 9/29/25 - trying to recover from being sick in my own home, but nope the wonderful Business neighbors Progress Coffee Nightclub have decided to continue being the worst neighbors ever! It's almost as if there evening staff enjoys being jerks!

We've asked them to turn the music down, but they do not. Instead it sounds like they're turning the music up and they leave the volume up. They will deny that they are playing the music loud which is funny because when their morning staff comes in and turns on the music, they acknowledge that the music is too loud. Yes, we've had to call them in the morning because the outside speakers are loud.

No problems during the day, but at night it sounds like a wanna be honky-tonk playing not so good music. You either get DJ music or bands playing cover songs.

UPDATE: wishing I could unwind in my own home, but yet again we are bombarded with the cover band music coming from Progress Coffer Bar (no more like nightclub wanna be)! Their management team is unresponsive and unprofessional and their staff are rude and condescending.

In response to Progress Coffee Bar: My review was not about someone having a bad day, but then again your patron was kicked and then while on the ground was hit multiple times; which was witnessed and was why police were called. This is the second time that a fight has broken out at your establishment that has led to the police being called and persons being handcuffed and driven away. Could it be that your staff is over pouring or over serving? The safety of your patrons should be first and foremost on your minds. That safety should also include your neighbors. This is not a neighborhood for a nightclub, a bar or club, figure out what you want your business to be. Start being better neighbors.

UPDATE: 5/4/25-- oh yay! Thanks for bringing the feel and look of a club to the neighborhood. It's always nice when you can sit on your back porch and watch yet another fight break out at this lovely establishment.

2/28/25- same experience every Thursday through Sunday. Loud music, loud customers on the patio, employees that are rude to the sheriffs who go in to deal with the noise complaints and just in general the worst business neighbors ever!!! The owners are dismissive and trying to be more like an east Austin club than a coffee bar.

Seriously considering taking this to the media.

12/1/24 Progess you are still the worst neighbors!!! So tired of having to call you on the daily to get you to turn the music down. My family would love to enjoy our backyard and hell even watching TV at home that doesn't include hearing the music from your establishment!!!

UPDATE!! 2/22/24 Yep they still show no respect to their neighbors! The band they have playing sounds terrible. They are playing to an practically empty audience. Filing a complaint with county and thinking of suing under nuisance law. Anyone want to join?

2/1/24 They still show no respect to their neighbors! Worst neighborhood business. They don't even serve their own food, they have a food truck onsite that isn't even allowed to serve drinks- like water!!!

Are they supposed to be a place that serves coffee? Are they a bar? Are they a freaking nightclub? I'm kind of leaning more towards...

Be careful parking at Progress Coffee + Beer. The parking lot is not as well lit as it could be at night. Another customer hit my car, got out to look, and fled (hit and run). It was captured on my dash cam. When I came outside not long afterward, I saw the damage and walked back in to inform the business. I asked for help with the driver's name, phone number if on file, and/or a clearer image of the driver, and/or video of them hitting my car. The owner immediately indicated willingness to help, but then slow walked the process and provided nothing. I am out of pocket for the damage to my car.

I gave the owner the exact time my car was hit. After promising to get back to me the next day, the owner only got back to me 4 days later after I asked a couple more times, and acted unhelpful and disingenuous. The owner ghosted after providing nothing except a couple still images from his high resolution security cameras to try to show me he wasn't able to see his parking lot. I replied within 9 minutes with both a still image and video from my car of the driver walking past the security cameras to and from the bar area. The driver would have been captured clearly. The owner ghosted me and has not replied in 10 days. It makes me wonder about the relationship between the person who hit my car and the business. I do believe the business is partially to blame for having a poorly lit and monitored parking lot.

I have attached dashcam video to my review. Google reviews only allow videos under 30 seconds, so it has been edited for length. I do not like how Progress Coffee + Beer appears to protect a criminal. It was an experience that makes me question the ethics under which this business is run and I will not be returning.

Edit 1: The owner replied to my review doubling down on his easily disproven claim that no video or information about this person exists, then apparently deleted his reply. I have added a photo collage of the person walking past their outside security camera, which was operating perfectly fine minutes after the driver walked past it multiple times according to the timestamp on the screenshot of the video the...

5/30 Thursday night early Friday morning, the loud club bass music has finally stopped at 12:50 AM. Happy I can finally try and get some sleep before I have to be at work tomorrow morning. I work from home and they have been playing music that since 3 PM with loud bass that customers could hear and asked me to turn down the music or asked if I was doing construction. Have asked them to turn down the music and in response the volume is turned up. Tried to get the owner/manager to call me back to discuss this on going nuisance that we have been experiencing since they opened August 2023 but still no call back. Trying to figure out how the city approved a bar/club be built for place that shares property lines with residential neighbors. All we've been asking is for the owners to come over to our home and hear what we hear from our back door an in our home to get an idea on how impactful the nuisance actually is.

2/25 Tuesday Night, Progress Club has loud bass music. Customers are complaining about the noise in my calls while I am working. Can hear it all through out house. I don't know how anyone there can hear anything if we can hear it. I don't understand how they can't figure out their sound issue when they are hiring a sound engineer company to put on events for them.

2/22 1:38 am and The Progress Club somehow has enough bass for everyone in the residential neighborhood next to them within a lot least a 200 ft radius, although ownership has sworn they have removed the subwoofer from the site.

I work early in the morning Midweek through the weekend with this place across the street from our back yard. Not good neighbors. Plays loud music all throughout the night with residential neighbors sharing a fence with them. Will play loud bass music from 10 pm - 1:50~ am at times. Lived here for 6+ years and was peaceful until this place opened up. Just wish they would be kinder with their volume...
