You wouldn't think a bar in the lobby of the Aloft could be so trendy and fun, but we had a blast and some great and somewhat reasonably priced drinks to boot! The decor is a lot of fun as was our bartender, Sam! He was fantastic at being honest about which drinks were actually worth getting off the cocktail menus and he didn't judge when I ordered the "No Ducks Given" just for the floating rubber ducky! We ended up here because my friends were specifically looking for dirty gin & vodka martinis, respectively. I'm a bourbon girl myself, but Sam made some mean martinis! I also had the Tom Collins w/antique barrel-aged gin that drank more like a scotch and was fantastic! The only thing I would say is the spinach feta "pretzel" here was not good and definitely not at all worth $7. It was definitely the "pop in a microwave" variety and wasn't even really a pretzel, it was more like a p'zone if anything else. So can't rec that here, but the drinks were great as was the company of our fellow "barflys" for the evening!

Morgan made our trip! She was so warm and welcoming. Stayed at the Aloft for Formula 1.read more

They have a few food trucks on site, but I've only ever tried the BBQ, which is quite tasty. I usually go to Drinks to watch some sports, one-off events, or to have a quick drink with friends before ending the night. It's certainly not a "cocktail bar", but they have some good drinks on their menu. The bartenders are super friendly, they have some fun board games to play, a pool table, and there's a cat who lives there who's pretty cute. Overall, lucky to have Drinks Backyard in the neighborhood.

The large outdoor space is definitely one of the highlights -- plenty of room for groups, watching sports games, or just enjoying the weather. They also have live music on Saturday nights, which adds a really fun energy to the place without feeling too overwhelming. It's not trying to be a super upscale cocktail bar, but for good drinks, good vibes, and a casual night out with friends, it's a great neighborhood spot.

We weren't looking for much by way of menu just a few snacks or small bites for Girl Dinner. We found just that here. The Sumac and pepper popcorn was to die for! I really don't drink that much or often, but decided to have one. The drink list is extensive, but very organized by era. I decided to go for the Zombie. My server, Noah encouraged my audacity! I can't remember whether it was described as dramatic as it showed up, but let me tell you there was drama! It was served in a flaming skull, garnished with beautiful flowers and fresh fruit, and filled to the brim with God knows how much alcohol and juice, but it was a time! To heighten the experience, he sprinkled something in a shaker and the flames just erupted! The whole restaurant stopped and I cackled! To put out the flame, Noah gave one dramatic clap, and the flame disappear disappeared! I want to thank Noah and the team for encouraging my ridiculousness and delivering me an excellent craft drink with all the drama I deserved and could ever ask for! 10/10! Gotta go back to see how much more ridiculous I can go! Can't stop now! Join me!

Walls are lined with vintage books. Overall, I think this is a cool place. I look forward to returning.

The inside has two floors and has a very interesting and decorative theme. We went on a Saturday night around 9pm and it wasn't too crowded. The Anti-gravity (comes in a thin glass with a light inside) was super tasty. I loved the blueberry popping boba. It was very fresh and hid the alcohol really well. The Blue Solar Slush is an amazing cocktail. I personally love rose and the whole flavor palette of it was unlikely anything I'd ever had. It was incredible! I do wish they had tap water and not just canned water to buy. But the canned water was seawater from Tulum so it was nice and worth it.

Fortune Teller is absolutely bomb.

The second time I came, I got the plum mezcalita and tried my friend's fig old fashioned (classic cocktails). I also got the purple cloud (ube latte) after my cocktail which was sweet and creamy. It was during happy hour and they have a small discount on select cocktails, but the HH menu is limited. That said, the second time I came was also the night they were hosting some kind of gypsy festival, so there were a bunch of booths selling different types of vintage clothing and handmade goods, as well as a fortune teller who was reading fortunes. They had some couches and plenty of tables to sit at -- it was a total vibe. It wasn't too hot either, and at the end of the night there was a fire show, which was pretty fun! The whole thing was free, and there is a small gravel parking lot where you can park, and I did get a spot there since I came right around 5p when thinks were starting. Even if you don't get a spot there, the nearby neighborhood streets have free parking space too and pretty easy to get to your car afterward. Overall, I do really like this bar -- I'm glad that it's in Austin so that there's always a breezy spot to come and hang out in the early evening!

I was only able to drop by for a couple hours yesterday but was glad I did! They were giving away free vinyls so I grabbed a few for my friends because I don't have a player. They even had a little tattoo station set up for those who felt like getting a last minute tattoo. It was a chill vibe and good music. Great place to have indoor/outdoor events and gatherings. I was also able to find street parking just a couple blocks down, which is a rare find in Austin these days.
