Austin is a weird place and the best part is Austin is proud of that. I am a New Yorker and so pretty used to seeing hipsters in droves. This place is hip high in hipsters.
I wasn't too sure if there was going to be a lot of time for pipe smoking and I also wasn't too sure what the policy toward smoking would be. I brought three pipes and a tin of Escudo, and I think it was enough. I have been enjoying a smoke on the hotel's balcony at night and leaving the pipe at home during the day.
Smoking here seems to be of the ciggy kind. The hipsters have elevated that to a bit of high drama. I have seen a lot of higher end cigarettes for sale (Dunhills, Nat Sherman's etc.) quite a few cigars and some vaping not much at all in pipes.
That being said there are plenty of outdoor cafes and patio bars one could have a smoke and cocktail of coffee.
All in all a pretty nice place, good selection of music, food and beer.
