Brook ShelleyAugust 10, 2014Go 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.
Corey WardDecember 29, 2014If you don't sit at the bar you miss out on some of Austin's best bartenders at tailoring drinks to preferences. When they're busy it's best to stick to the menu and classics, though.
Shelley BakerJune 2, 2016Portions are huge, all the bread is baked fresh in house daily, & every sauce, all the chips, etc. are all home made in house by the chefs.
Kaustubh ThirumalaiMay 26, 2015For a summer cocktail, go with the Darjeeling Limited. Creamy deliciousness! And vegetarians, the cauliflower gnocchi is great!
Rachel LasseterMarch 20, 2015Amazing 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.
Gina VarelaJuly 4, 2013The drinks are amazing and the food is great I love everything. The bartender made me a drink with lavender and she rocked it. For specialty drinks this is the place!!!
Very different bar experience depending on the bar staff working. Dennis makes amazing cocktails, so does the gent in the glasses (sorry didn't catch his name). Food has been spot on, order something.
Jackie MannOctober 24, 2016This is a cute little bar with a decent selection of mix drinks and craft beers. It was a little noisy even on a Wednesday night, but I'd go back!
Bruce CJuly 9, 2023Kitchen open later than most places, and it's interesting and tasty. Of course, the cocktails are special, but I hope that was obvious.
Jonathon TaylorSeptember 8, 2022Check out the scotch selection. Some extremely good hard to find options when I was there. But if you find an online menu note that they don’t really stock the Brandies anymore which is unfortunate- Shelley BakerApril 7, 2016Burgers here are to die for, cooked to absolute perfection and they def do not skimp one bit on the amount of meat! 🐙
They have Averna! A Sicilian amaro/aperitif/digestive that's hard to find in Texas. A comfort drink for me :) (best enjoyed straight, no ice or mixers)
Matt FerrariAugust 14, 2019Cocktail bar that has nice lighting and a feel of old style. Order at the bar, even if you are sitting at a table
RaniaAugust 1, 2019Cocktails here rival most upscale places in Austin. Worth checking out their weekday happy hour 4-6pm.- Cheryl BowesDecember 5, 2012The peanut BBQ pork is excellent . Can't go wrong here. The dip for the chips is a secret they won't share. Really neat place. Unexpected delight.
Donald LipinskiOctober 31, 2016The house frites are a solid selection... the drinks rotate, but they're all good! Our neighborhood bar rulz!- Troy FlintMay 4, 2015Unique, creative, well-designed cocktail list. For the whiskey heads: Lebanon Junction, Rosetto Julep, and Immigrant Song await.
Lane AntonFebruary 20, 2014This place claims to be a neighborhood pub, but it's incredibly pretentious, over-priced, with very little seating. I highly recommend driving by this place, to an actual neighborhood pub
Matthew M.March 3, 2012Fantastic Vodka Gimlet! Grab a seat at the bar and enjoy a drink, some food, and all the action! Great space in a wonderful neighborhood!
Eva McQuadeFebruary 13, 2014If Aaron is tending bar, do visit with him. He's very sweet and quite cute as well. He'll take care of y'all!
Larry LaBurrJuly 6, 2015Great cocktails! Their Polynesian drinks section is great, and the goat bruschetta dish was divine!
JenniferMay 2, 2012Roasted brussel sprouts with pancetta compliment every cocktail, I swear. This place has happy hour every day from 4-6. Go.- The mushroom gratin was awesome! The pisco inferno and queens park swizzle are the best drinks!
- Serious EatsAugust 6, 2013This spot is known for its cocktails, but grab some food--especially during happy hour.
Lisle JonesSeptember 14, 2015Great place to find unique cocktails and craft beers. Try the War and Peace.
John HumeJune 5, 2013Food and drinks are consistently great, but the limited first-come-first-serve seating makes the place as a whole hit or miss.
Richard VuOctober 7, 2012Great Sunday brunch menu. Get the twisted sister-French toast wrapped in bacon.
dw is the best fckin cocktail bar in Austin. And Jeremy's bar food is the ish.
Order the Mac and cheese but let it cool down a bit before you eat it. Tastes a lot better once it cools down.
JoycottApril 16, 2014Earth Day is a great day to get shitfaced. 5% of your bar tab goes to support eco-friendly causes.
Bartenders are super friendly:) and of course drinks are fab!!!
Austin ChronicleJune 18, 2013Small 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
