About Us

Location & Space

The Hangout is a Restaurant & Pub (Grand Opening target date is late January 2024). We are a private club and also offer Private Party Event Rentals on days we are closed, and for an additional fee, we will close the doors for certain special events.

Our initial hours and menu can be found here. Pricing will be established prior to our Grand Opening!

Our space is a standalone pole barn-style 2500sqft building, located outside the city limits. We are 1 mile north of Highway 80 between Mineola and Hawkins, sandwiched between a popular spring-fed swimming lake and the Piney Woods. We are directly across the street from Lake Hawkins and the Lake Hawkins RV Park and Beach (the “campground”). We are centrally located in East Texas – with a 45 minute drive to Tyler or Longview and a 1.5 hour drive to Dallas or Shreveport.

Capacity

We are a speakeasy-style lounge with seating accommodations for approximately 75 guests, which includes table seating, bar stool and sofa seating. Including standing room, we have a maximum capacity of 250 guests. If the building’s garage door is open and the accompanying field is being used in conjunction with the building for an event, occupancy could be up to 2,000 guests. Check out our Photo Gallery here.

Possibilities

Our venue can be used for all types of events and special moments, including live music events, private parties and game nights, class reunions, family reunions, proms, engagement parties, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, weddings, receptions, birthdays, quinceañeras, company parties, holiday parties, church or hobby retreats, social or charity events, auctions, workshops, group getaways, school or graduation parties, etc.!
