I repeated myself and said, but I we have a reservation. The host says, well you can wait for a table to open up, sit on the table, but need to be done by 6:30, or you can sit at the bar, or ask the people having a meeting at the bar booth if you can sit there. We ordered wine and it wasn't warm, but hot. The bartender let us know that she pulled it out of a box outside. I asked her if she could please chill it like you chill bubbly. She said, well it might get too cold. I asked her, please chill it. She did. The people sitting at the booth got up and we asked if they were done. They said yes, and no one helped us move our wine or silverware to the booth. We order dessert. 15 minutes had gone by. The bartender asks us if we need anything. I said, just waiting on our dessert. The server says that the chef was by himself and they scrambled to get our dessert ready and finally found a torch. Why not just tell us you don't have the banana pudding. We get our dessert that is supposed to be a banana pudding with crumbled nilla wafers. They crumbled graham crackers instead. I was disappointed because I don't get out much and I had been there before, but never sat inside. I manage a dental office. I feel this is a management issue. Bea

The intimate space is welcoming and relaxing. The staff are incredibly talented mixologists at the top of their game. The reason for our visit is their month-long Star Wars pop-up that started 5/4/26 (of course). They nailed it in every sense of the imagination from themed drinks (alcohol and n/a) to the interior and exterior decor. Hoot & Annie is currently The Mos Eisley Cantina. And, it is! It's as though we've been transformed from this town that's about 20 minutes from Austin to the actual Mos Eisley Cantina. My boyfriend is a huge Star Wars nerd and absolutely loves it. I'm a fan and a supporter and dig it. It's literally the next best thing to Galaxy's Edge. No joke. We love it here and we'll be back even during non-Star Wars times!

Rodney is incredibly talented - he's an amazing singer, and his music creates such a fun atmosphere. You can tell he has a following, too, because people genuinely come out specifically to hear him perform. We did have a bit of a service hiccup during our visit - we were brought the wrong bottle of wine and ended up waiting quite a while for the correct one. Thankfully, the live music kept us entertained while we waited! Live music like this adds something special that you just can't get from a playlist. I really hope Urban recognizes the value that talented musicians like Rodney bring to the restaurant and continues offering live music. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and great music make for a winning combination!

Everything was delicious! Unfortunately, the service was terrible. The bartender was the server in the area we were in. She brought us water and then disappeared for 15 minutes. I was watching as she was on a laptop doing inventory of the alcohol with a man calling out what was needed. Another waitress was at the hostess stand and waved and asked if we were alright and we said no one had taken our order. She went to the bartender and asked if our table was hers and she got up to come take it. Unfortunately, that was the last time we saw her until we were ready for the check and she only came then because I stood up to go get it from her.

Unfortunately for us, the bats didn't want to come out on the particular night that we were there, but it was still a wonderful visit here at P6! The service was amazing and food was coming out pretty quickly too despite the number of dishes we ordered for our group of 11. It's more of a casual setup with couches and lower tables so that was a little bit tricky to eat a full on fork and knife meal, but the views made up for it. They do have some barstool seating for smaller parties as well. The menu is mainly tapas/family style here so it was perfect for our big group. I really liked everything that we tried but the highlights were definitely the lamb ribs (I don't even like lamb very much), the zaatar bread, charred cabbage, and the seared branzino with beurre blanc. They had a few mocktail options, so I picked the Miami Nice, which was a refreshing strawberry flavor profile. They have valet parking and validation at the host stand which made it very convenient for us! Everything was so picturesque here. Definitely an amazing spot to have a sunset dinner with a view here in Austin!

I went to Whisler's and had one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had…read more I had one drink. I was completely sober for all intents and purposes. The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

Well, we didn't have a reservation and we were able to get sat right away. I forget the name of the individual who assisted us by placing our order. I ended up getting the espresso martini, and then my other person got an old-fashioned. I was asked if I wanted a shot of Bailey's with the espresso martini and that to me would've been way too much. The martini itself was almost kind of smoky. Not your typical kind of very crisp espresso martini had a nice foam on top of it. We also ended up ordering the sliders to go along as we had dinner reservations, and that bacon jam on there is magnificent. The sliders were all juicy and very well put together bun was very soft and the flavor of everything was really good. I would totally go back just for the sliders. Overall the service was great. The views were also quite stunning of downtown and the ambience overall which is very chill. The front part of the bar was actually closed due to a private event so I can imagine getting to take photos on that corner would be really pretty to see.

I enjoyed my drink as well (5th Floor Cooldown) once we added the extra sweetener we requested. Without it, I wasn't a huge fan (wasn't sweet, despite being told that it was). Valet parking is only $15 (for 2 hours) with validation. I appreciated that, as it made parking not a headache.

Even the french fries, which I was not supposed to eat, were tasty with their own house dip.. I did have a slight bit of food envy though- my friend ordered the filet, which she said was one of the best she's ever had. I'll let you know after I return tonight.!

They also have a $25 credit if you eat/drink at their bar/restaurant. Isn't that cool? They have a pretty cool swimming pool too. I was happy to find sunscreen available at the pool!

I almost always order room service, and it's consistently fresh and delicious. This time I had the wedge salad with shrimp and glasses of wine, and everything was perfect. The following evening, a coworker and I enjoyed drinks and shared a slice of cheesecake at the bar downstairs, and it was another great experience.
