Tried the fig manhattan and the vieux carte both great; joe had manhattan henge awesome
The bartenders are alchemists. Try the devil's martini for a jalapeno kick! The Bee's Knees is also delicious.
Creative cocktail menu, ask your server for recommendations. I love the off the menu Periwinkle cocktail, not too sweet and incredibly refreshing.
Awesome outdoor seating and craft cocktails. Mezcal bar is sweet.
Great place for creative cocktails and a chill night away from the crowds.
Excellently made craft cocktails and a tiny, fully stocked, Mezcal bar on the second floor. Ask for a mezcal tasting so you can really get a better appreciation for the liquor.
The cocktails are $12 each - and worth every penny! Very cool atmosphere - great place to escape the chaos of Sixth Street. Visit midnightcowboymodeling.com to make a reservation.
Former brothel, beautifully remodeled with deliciously potent craft cocktails (esp the Smoke + Mirrors, a 12-yr scotch drink with flamed orange that's made table-side). Online RSVP required.
Love the cocktail menu here and, of course, the speakeasy vibe.
Amazing craft cocktails. Reasonable prices. Phenomenal house made treats. Must see and do for the foody and mixologist tour.
Pick out one (or two *wink *) of the many a phenomenal hand poured cocktails made by craft bartenders in speakeasy charm of The Firehouse Lounge. Read more.
This place is pretty awesome. Great ambiance, craft cocktails, and service.
Cigar Box is best cocktail I've ever had. Arguably best cocktails in the city. Bartenders from Whislers and drink room.
Both cocktails I had were expertly made and delicious. Try their Charlie Chaplin.
Lots of drink options. Both regular & happy hour cocktails are equally amazing.
Best old fashioned I've had in a long time. This place has an ice shed that makes perfect cuts of ice. So cool. A must!
One of my favorite places I've ever been! Amazing ambiance, great indoor/outdoor space, and wonderful cocktails.
Excellent, well made craft cocktails.
Great, tasty cocktails. Quiet, dark atmosphere. Great for happy hour and waiting our traffic in downtown Austin. Located truly in a parking garage.
One of the places with the best cocktails I've had. Mixologists are pretty cool and the live jazz is amazing. Cozy place excellent for a date or just chill with a couple of friends
in terms of cocktails and vibe - this is one of the best places i've visited in USA (and I visited up to hundred). Try anything from custom list.
Try their delicious cocktails: habanero margarita, watermelon elderflower martini and 'the corn one'. Highlights: atun tostada, Acapulco ceviche, steak & eggs for brunch and birthday cake ice cream.
Awesome cocktails, great happy hour, killer vibe. Very trendy. Try the street corn. But, overpriced/overrated food and issues with service.
One of the best mexican restaurants I've been. Delicious Hamachi Ceviche, Tostadas de Atun and Elote. Amazing signature cocktails, go for the El Cubico (with tobacco leaf infused Cazadores Reposado).
Great breakfast - cheap Bellini's & Mimosa's! The location is very convenient - the boutiques are right across the street if your up for some shopping afterwards.
Prepare to get "Bellini happy" with $1 bellinis & mimosas ;) amazing Sunday brunch, shrimp & asparagus omelet will never fail you! Super hungry? Brisket calzone all the way!
Brunch is delicious and mimosas are only $2 a pop. The beignets are treat but be forewarned if you don't like a little lemon zest you won't enjoy them.
Small but snazzy, offering a slew of creative craft cocktails and a rotating draft beer selection. Upscale bar food includes sliders al pastor, bourbon beanie weenies, and a Texas Kobe burger. Read more.
Go on an off hour, and enjoy a fabulous bourbon selection, amazing cocktails, and tasty snacks. They mark gluten-free options well. It can get quite crowded here.
Amazing cocktails. Try the Vieux Carre or The Right Hand. Bar food is a cut above. Very busy on Fridays and weekends. Can be standing room only.
wanna come back and visit this great spot on a non-SXSW day, bet its a great place to catch up over a cocktail or 5.
Try the Batini - worthy of being Austin's official cocktail! And more reliable than the actual bats...
Surprisingly, the hotel bar at the Driskill is legitimately great. The bar staff is knowledgeable and courteous, and you can get a delicious cocktail for a reasonable price.
Get the green chili sauce on your fries loved by all who enjoy a bloody mary. The quality of the burger is great here but the flavor did not blow my mind as a professional burger eater.
Really delicious bloody mary with all the fixins.
Awesome ginger hibiscus mojito special.
Hibiscus and ginger mojito is fantastic! And so is the goat cheese salad.
The best cocktails in town. The way to get in may feel a little pretentious but it’s totally worth it. Great prices for the high quality of the drinks/service.
What a great find! The reservation app works well. This place is classy and amazing cocktails. Great conversation at the bar. A measure of a great cocktail is the quality of ice. Clear as glass.
Beautifully crafted cocktails and seasonal menus. Knowledge yet approachable staff. Professional but not stuffy. Everything a great cocktail bar should be.
The brunch is out if this world. Start off with an incredible $4 bloody or pomegranate mimosa, don't miss the candied yams, cornflake chicken, jalapeño sausage, king casserole and bread pudding.
Outstanding mint julep. Also, don't miss the fried chicken and waffles.
Have been here twice & no one has left disappointed. Waterloo Compound is my cocktail of choice, all the food delivers (yummy green chile grits!) Seems to be constantly packed, so make a reservation.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
