The dips, brussel sprouts, spicy rigatoni are delicated made and very flavorful. This is added to my list of good happy hour food spots to go to! read more

Oh wow, I dig the vibe. Though they get busy, it's not mad-crazy and in fact I'd rather relaxing, comfortable, welcoming, and cozy. The decor has a romantic vibe with the low-lighting, furnishings, and accessories. They have fun events like salsa and Cumbia nights, deejays, etc. I've not had anything from the food menu and do need to make sure to check it out next time. I saw some of the dishes coming out and they looked really good. The craft cocktails are really good too. Aphrodite's Pop=made with rosemary gin. OMG! The boyfriend likes the DMC Oldie=a take on the Old Fashioned. The N/A Gimlet rocks. Happy Hour every Tues-Sat (5-630 pm)=half off cocktails!! Friendly and sweet service. read more

Cute spot and well decorated for Christmas. However, the hostess was super rude and we could tell she had no desire to be there and it showed. We sat at the bar by the entrance and watched her be rude to all the other guests that arrived, so I guess we weren't the only ones. I ordered the Sin Gimlet and I hated it -- super sour and just not tasty at all. The server never checked back on us, except to give us the bill. read more

Devil May Care is a not-so-hidden speakeasy right on 6th street. We stopped by on a Saturday night after getting a last minute reservation. The inside is nicely decorated, but slightly brighter than you would expect from a bar and the music was too loud at times. We were there for just a light snack and some drinks. For drinks, we got the Ausmopolitan and the Beelzepunsch. For food, the two of us split the Cold Mezze Trio. Both the drinks were good, but they didn't stand out compared to other cocktail bars I've tried in the area. The Mezze Trio was great and came with a good amount of variety. I particularly enjoyed the whipped feta with the pita. Overall, it was a good spot for a date night. read more

My taste buds had the time of their life here. What went well: the vibes were set with the atmosphere and the menu was so good it was hard not to order everything. I originally gave this 5 stars but I quickly remembered we didn't have a friendly experience with the hostess which is why I'm giving Devil May Care 4 stars. I would 100% come back and eat here -- this was the best meal experience we had in Austin! read more

Came in on a random sunday for a snack and a drink w some friends. It was by reservation only however they had a rooftop terrace table open for a party of 3. Seating on the terrace was our door furniture which was very low to the ground, uncomfortable to sit on to try and eat, waitresses were also struggling to set things down on the tables since they were extremely low. Cute place to grab a drink and food if you sat inside... highly recommend reservations although a few years ago you could walk in and find a spot no problem so I was unaware it's now mainly reservations. Brussel sprouts were delicious, nice and crispy and full of sweet and spicy flavor. Espresso martini was not espresso flavored at at- taste just like a chai milk tea. The spitz was okay, as expected I suppose. Staff was kind and music selection was on point. read more

I don't usually go to cocktail lounges, so this was a rare occasion for me. I wanted to attend the MLS all-star game after party that was being hosted here. I naively assumed current MLB players would make a possible appearance (as was promoted by When Where What Austin in their event spreadsheet), come to find there was instead a sizable group of FORMER MLB players! All jokes aside, the atmosphere and drinks available here are top notch. They are $18 each so not cheap, but not an arm and a leg. I tried two off their menu- the Strawberry Kiwi Soda and DMC Old Fashioned. The soda was one of the best cocktails I've ever had, and the Old Fashioned was smooth as well. I'm still not a fan of them (since they are strong), so probably won't ever order one ever again. I assumed the extra ingredients/mixers would make an impact, but it wasn't noticeable. Great music (featuring a familiar face in DJEU from my past home Atlanta), tight-knit dance floor, and small group booth seating all around! read more

A fabulous speakeasy with craft drinks, a dark sexy interior, and delicious looking food. Their happy hour is such a great deal (half off specialty cocktails and food). I don't like cocktails much but the mezcal one I got was really nice - it had a foamy top too - how did they do that! I need to try the food next time for sure. Staff are fabulous too! They are all dressed in ravishing black outfits. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our time at Devil May Care. We went to see live jazz there. It's amazing to listen to soothing music while also enjoying the ambience, good and drinks. The cocktails are fantastic. I recommend the Stirred Daisy if you like a drink with a kick in it as it has a bell pepper in it. For food, the Tzatziki and Lamb Tajine were great. I loved the spicy salsa for the Lamb Tajine. Great ambience inside and service as well. read more

Great place. I loved the speakeasy vibe and their selection of N/A drinks, very creative. Blue devil was definitely the one to get for me. Aside from their downstairs place they also have a patio that's located upstairs, it's not a large space but good enough for one big group of people. read more

I am sad to be writing this review because I wanted to love this place. My bf and I were visiting from Dallas & my friend recommended this place for happy hour. The vibes inside were stunning & the service was fantastic. Unfortunately, short moments after consuming the oysters, I became violently ill and was sick all throughout the night. We had a short trip in Austin so this ruined the stay for us since I was unable to move from the bathroom floor. I love oysters and consume them regularly, so it is not common for me to experience food poisoning after eating them. It was some of the worst pain I've ever been in read more

The food was delicious here , the decor was fun and interesting and options for nonalcoholic drinks! I would only come back here for those reasons as the service was uncomfortable and not the greatest from beginning to the end. We were a party of 6 on a Saturday night. Our friend the birthday girl asked a question about a drink and the waitress Ana Giselle P was not helpful or was like it's just like our classic drink and we were like ok.. what's the classic drink? We inquired about the delay in our lamb lollipop because we ordered it at the same time but only one came out. She then brought out 2 more when we had only ordered 2 so we sent the 3rd one back. Towards the night when we got our bill, she charged us for 3. I had to find somebody else to help correct that error who fortunately was able to. Ana eventually came to us with the corrected bill and while we were paying she was just leaning against the wall, not being friendly, hardly said anything to us and we were all just feeling the awkward vibes from her. Maybe she was having a bad night. * SPICY RIGATONI - tomato, garlic, chili, Parmesan $14 * CLARIFIED PINEAPPLE GARIBALDI - NA Aperitif, Clarified Pineapple $12 * MOROCCAN SPICED HUMMUS - Tahini, Salsa Macha, Cilantro $12 * CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS - Sumac Honey, Spiced Yogurt, Pickled Fresno Chili $10 * PARMESAN TRUFFLE FRIES - Chaat Masala, Zhoug, Jalapeño $14 * LAMB LOLLIPOP - yogurt, salsa verde, pistachio, lemon $29 * FALAFEL - Muhammara, Herbs, Aleppo $10 * GRILLED PRAWNS (4) - Bagna, Pepitas, Lemon Zest $25 read more

Alright, Devil May Care. You earned a 5th star from me. We just spent three nights in ATX for a girls trip - and we ate and drank our way through the city. But one of my top favorite bites was the "Cold Mezze Trio" from Devil May Care... and paired with the MOST PERFECT PITA. How on Earth do y'all make it? It's so fluffy and dressed in-I believe to be- herbed olive oil. The Mezze Trio ($25) features a small serving of herb labneh, hummus, pistachio whipped feta (perhaps better than ABA), crudités, lavash, and that yummy pita. If you want a speakeasy vibe with a slightly older crowd, live music if you're lucky (pianoman singing covers or cumbia band for example), and savory Mediterranean bites, do DMC. Oh, and they have oysters. I'll try them next time. read more

This place is an acquired taste not everybody might like it, but I do. It is a mood in and of itself. I feel like this place has something to offer to everyone and it really depends on where you are seated. We always get this corner booth that makes you feel like you're somewhere in the Mediterranean doing something you're not supposed to do but I guess that's the vibe. they have live music, a big bar And good drinks. Their kitchen is open until 10 PM after which the entire seating opens up and then turns into a club. They also have weekly jazz nights if you're interested in that I typically recommend getting a reservation before showing up here the Mediterranean dishes that they serve like hummus are good if you're in the bar scene in Austin definitely check it out read more

Extended HH on Wednesdays. Half price cocktails, mezzes, and bottles of wine. Quirky, hipster, speakeasy vibe in the basement (they have an outdoor patio as well). Service was exceptional. Well made cocktails (try the Hellfire). Ordered a variety of mezzes - feta and olives, Moroccan humus, and pita bread are top notch. $2 oysters hit the spot. Brussels were awesome. The HH burger/fries and chicken skewer made it all a meal. Non-HH food prices are still reasonable and cocktails are Austin appropriately priced. I'd like to see someone order that pitcher of espresso martinis! read more

You might know Devil May Care (DMC) as a trendy underground lounge with delicious drinks and a DJ spinning vibey beats on the weekends, or as a cozy Mediterranean spot serving incredible food in a dimly lit, romantic atmosphere for dinner. Here to break the barrier and say it's time to be acquainted with both! I highly recommend visiting during happy hour, where cocktails, wine bottles, and mezzes are half off! Happy hours are on Tuesdays, Thursdays through Saturdays from 5-6:30 PM, and Wednesdays from 5-9 PM. If you stay past dinner on Wednesdays, DMC hosts their weekly Cumbia, Salsa, and Bachata nights starting at 9 PM. The kitchen closes at 10 PM! Food: I originally came for a private Yelp Elite event and immediately fell in love with the food. What to order? Honestly, everything. IT'S THAT GOOD. Mezzes: the Moroccan Spiced Hummus with pita bread and the Roasted Heirloom Carrots with zhoug dip. Skewers: ALL. Hors d'oeuvres: the East Coast Oysters and Lamb Meatballs Dessert: the Baklava Signature Dishes: I tried the Harissa Truffle Burger and the Lamb Lollipops, but feel it's unnecessary if you stick with the mezze menu. Everything was unbelievably delicious, with each dish perfectly hitting all the right notes--whether savory, spicy, or sweet. Nightlife: I hate how hot, steamy and packed it gets in here. The air is suffocating!! They need to limit the amount of patrons and turn up the AC PLEASE. read more

The ambiance is super cute!!! Swanky but in a good way. You can come dressed nice or casual and still be fine. Emily was our server and she was working it okay!! We liked her and she was helpful with recommendations. She also was the best photographer Let's talk about the food!!! Chef's kiss babeeee! It's tapas style so we ordered 3 or 4 things each and it was 5 of us doing a ladies night out. We all rated it a 8 to 10 and would return for sure. Good for date night too because it's vibes. We went on a Thursday. They have a dj at 10 but our reservation was at 7:30 so we left about 9. Next time we will check him out. read more

Our reservation at Devil May Care for girls night was perfect! The lighting and sexy ambiance was the first green flag and then the live music set the mood beautifully after. Everything we tried was incredible! The spicy rigatoni was rich and flavorful, the oysters were super fresh and tasty, the hanger steak was cooked to perfection and the espresso martinis hit just right. Special shoutout to our cocktail server Ana--she was a total gem and made our night even better with her energy and attention to detail. We can't wait to come back(: read more

For a spot that gives off "club vibes", we were pleasantly impressed by the intimate environment with some tasty menu items that hit the spot. A pleasant surprise to learn about the Saturday Happy Hour too! 50% bottle of wine and $2 East Coast oysters. Would definitely order the whipped feta as a starter and the lamb lollipops. Great juiciness, textures, and use of herbs and garnishes. The lamb lollipops were served with a salsa verde, but honestly, the lamb was so well cooked you really don't need sauce. The falafel was served with a muhammara and YUM. For a table of two, I'd suggest serving 4 lollipops. I understand the "odd number" rule, but it was kind of hard to share the third lollipop between two, when the lollipops are small to begin with. Not quite sure why female servers seem to have a mandatory dress code of short and tight black dresses (reminds me of Posh Spice lol)...In fact, it felt awkward watching the majority of them uncomfortably bend down with their heels to serve us our meals and simply pour water in our glasses. Part of me felt bad and it did mix with the impression of our visit. We do look forward to visiting again, trying some of the larger entrees, maybe this time sitting at the bar. read more

What a great night-spot if you're into Christmas themed bars. Devil May Care turns into Devil May Christmas during the holiday season of the year and the decor and the drinks that come with it are top notch. Service was great, despite how busy the night was and we rarely had to wait very long for anything. I would recommend making reservations for this spot otherwise you'll be standing in a huge crowd with others at the bar. read more

The bar tenders and servers are always lovely. Seating can be difficult at times. The night club scene is in full swing by 9pm, but if you go early (still recommend reservations) you can sit down and enjoy a lounge setting. The food is always SO good! read more

Wanted to try DMC for a long time, made reservations for yesterday night, they have valet parking, which I prefer, especially in and around downtown. Place is cozy, intimate and a lovely ambiance, for got our host name, but she was welcoming, attentive and not pushy. Food, we ordered grilled chili chicken, whipped feta with pita bread, DMC spiced fries, pistachio baklava(it's not listed on their menu), everything was good, it's tapas style, so smaller portions. Drinks, I tried DMC old fashioned, which I liked, hubby liked is heaven delight. Overall it's a fun place, give it a try!! read more

This is just an awesome vibe when you walk in the door. Sort of between a speak easy and a jazz bar in New Orleans. Great happy hour prices and food. The wait staff are friendly and informative. Super attentive. The chef must be an artist because every bite of each item we tried exploded flavors in your mouth. The $2 oysters, special hummus and Brussel sprouts were works of art. Their version of a hamburger was off the charts. It was not beef, but it was the most tender and flavorful I have ever had. read more

Possibly the best expresso martini I ever had. It's different, you have to try it for yourself! I also tried the aperol spritz which was also not overly sweet that I liked but martini wins the prize. Servers are super nice and attentive. I ended up here for a sxsw event and loved it. The place can get loud though looks to be a lack of acoustics. Parking in regular downtown garage or street parking. There was also a DJ there that was fun not sure if that's every night. read more

Very hip place with great vibes. The drinks were beautiful and creative and we had a delicious hummus platter that was very generous and well split among 4 people. We also had the lamb lollipops and they were perfectly cooked and delicious. The tables are pretty tiny in the lounge area though so it's tough to eat and pretty cramped. Also the music was sooooo loud, I'd avoid Thursdays if you want to be able to talk. We thought there were two different sides and the lounge without the DJ would be quieter but it's still really bumpin. Looked like a fun scene if you came for the music though, people were having a great time. read more

We've been to this location when it's been a few other restaurants and none of them were solid enough to stick around. This might have a chance because it's not really going for a traditional "restaurant" vibe but more of a cocktail joint that serves food til 10 and turns into a club at that point. Our waitress was really attentive and she mentioned she's new, so if you find your waitress has to double check on a few details...be patient! We ordered our paper planes off menu (the cocktail choices looked a little on the sweet side) and they were stellar. We then ordered the Mezza Platter, meatballs, and shrimp cocktail and the platter and meatballs were honestly fantastic and having lived overseas with real Mediterranean food, my husband is kinda picky on his hummus! We did also order a round of the margaritas on draft and as long as you're prepared for tamarind and mezcal, which we love, it's a really solid draft cocktail. I'd definitely say we'll be back with a small group to catch the later-night vibe on a weekend! read more
