What can we say? This is without a doubt, Austin’s best hidden gem! Not only will they make you the best old fashioned, martini, or whatever classic is calling to you, but they also have an extensive selection of thoughtful, seasonal cocktails on their menu too - but even better than that, the staff will always encourage you to explore something new, innovative or different. We have discovered many new spirits, combinations and techniques; including some which no other bar in Austin is utilising.
No lobby bar (and that undersells it, it’s far more sophisticated!) in any Hyatt brings the same level of craft, comfort or cocktails.
In addition to it having many of the best drinks in Austin, the food and the service are a cut above the rest. With some wonderful sharing plates such as the hummus (with an incredible addition of candied pecans) or their charcuterie, or hot dishes like the lamb sliders or flatbreads, you’ll find yourself more than well fed.
The service, though, is truly what completes Maude’s. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable; and most importantly, make you feel like you’re home. Juliana has a fantastic team who are not only a credit to her, but also to the Hyatt Lost Pines brand.
This bar deserves more accolades and recognition than it’s gotten - but for now, it should take comfort in knowing that the Hyatt category increase of Lost Pines must certainly be tied to their excellent development.
