Yelp! Austin Now Sorts Locations by How Trendy Patrons Are [Read: Lists Hipster Bars]

This week, the popular crowd-sourced review site Yelp! began including "hipster" as a type of ambience you might experience at venues, bars, and restaurants around town. We did a quick search to see which sites in Austin lived up to that mysterious type of atmosphere. Have they uncovered a completely new way to degrade the much-maligned hipster by reducing him or her to a condition, or are they simply helping folks figure out where they need to go to bum a Parliament? Who knows, but the usual suspects made the list (or did they?): Longbranch Inn, Beauty Bar, Shangri-La, Rio Rita and Scoot Inn all appear. There's a couple surprises, too, like El Chilito (or not) and East Side Show Room (we've only seen gypsies there). We reported to Misprint immediately that Sidebar didn't make the list.

Whatever your feelings about hipsters (people or feelings), even the coolest reader now has access to a quick list of places not to go. Maybe another new ambience can be "tired".
