The Thirsty Hippo has really given Hattiesburg the best menu in town. Here is why: No where else in Hattiesburg has a Veggie Menu, and the Thirsty HIppo has absolutely nailed it! I order the Veggie Pimiento Burger with jalopeano chips as a side that i stuff in the burger :)) The veggie meat is completely vegan, along with several of their other items. Don't be alarmed when you walk in the door, it's definately a bar. Even though I usually order a bottled root beer when I come here in the middle of the day, they have an excellent liquor and beer selection. On top of having the only vegetarian menu in Hattiesburg, they are also the only place I've found to have Absinthe behind the bar. I'm a dark beer drinker, and they have several things I like on tap. MOST IMPORTANTLY! Anyone can eat here! it's hard for me to not rave too much about the vegetarian menu because that's what really appeals to me, but they also only use meat from the local butcher that is antibiotic-free and free of hormones. The bread comes from the breadsmith, which Hattiesburg locals are all aware is very high quality bread. I know all this because I've spend time interrogating the cook about what they use :P They are so friendly here, even when I come in before they open (without knowing of course), they treat me well and feed me anyway :D
I love this place so much, I come nearly 5-6 times a week even though I live on the other side of town and it takes me 30 to get there. IT'S ALWAYS WORTH IT!!
I just saw that someone made a post about the venue being a dump. They've relocated since then. Definately not a dump. Also, if you're traveling from out of town, double check you have the newest address on McLoed.
You're welcome, bitches.
I love this place so much.
A long sliver of a door beside darkened buildings is how I first found this spot. Walk down a long corridor and it opens into a decent sized room where performers entertain on a ground level.
A bar which only stocks beer but that in keeps with the laid back mellow vibe of the space. You can sit in the booths or sit outside which is my favourite thing to do amongst the fairy lights and sculptures from the studio next door. Whenever I think of summer I think of here and sitting in the humid air with a cool beer and live music wafting through.
I remember chatting to the owner and commending him on getting great acts from around the country to perform here, he was so focused on his mission to provide an accessible space and music to the people.
I count down the days till I return again to this spot.
Horrible venue. Â The tix to the show we drove from Nashville to see were supposedly sold out. They claim they were available online. Bullshit. Â I checked in advance. Screw this bar and hattiesburg Mississippi. Â This place is the size of a goddamn bathroom.. Â NEVER WASTE YOUR GAS OR TIME ON THIS DUMP. Â STAY HOME!
Review Source:If you like good beer, and you like good music, the Thirsty Hippo is for you. If you like overpriced beer, and you like bad music, the Hippo is not for you. You can try the Bottling Company instead if that's what you're looking for.
Seriously, the owners of this place know what they're doing. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it may look like a hole in the wall, but give it a chance and you'll see that it truly is an amazing place.
Note: This place is a beer-only bar, meaning don't expect to get cocktails or wine. All things considered, not a beer on the menu over $4, most going for $2 or $3. The music is great. It's very diverse ranging from indie rock to blues to folk to hip hop to you name it. Most of the acts who play here are really talented musicians, and even if it's not a genre you're normally into, the atmosphere makes it enough to enjoy.
Just go. It'll be worth your time.
This place may be (literally) a hole in the wall, but dont' let that stop you from entering their narrow doorway.
This is a cozy spot where an amazing variety of bands play in the little stage area that melts into the dance space. On any given night you might catch a local upstart band, a group from Japan, or a big name that wants to play in a tiny venue to relive their roots.
The courtyard behind is open by a doorway, windows behind the band, and a window to the bar as well. Smokers don't have to feel excluded from the music at any point.
Be sure to order a beer too - it's cheap and also how they make their money. Trust me, you want this place to stay alive!
