    Sangria and a Secret Beach from Meanwhile. Great happy hour prices, 4-7pm.

    If you're not really looking, you will think it's an old psychic's house, so we've totally missed this until now! Relaxed S. Congress patio vibe, good happy hour and two food trailers, so we settled in and enjoyed a beautiful Spring evening here. Although I'm glad this hasn't been discovered, I do want to get the word out so others can enjoy it as well. A fun, SoCo experience!

    Such a cool cocktail/coffee bar concept! I'm such a sucker for dim lightning and vibes. I've heard about this place from some friends in Austin and it definitely didn't disappoint. The drinks were good, couldn't taste too much of the cherry flavor, but it wasn't too bad. I'd love to try some of other drinks next time! There's a couple of seats inside by the bar area, but there's a lot of outdoor seating with cute string lights! Unfortunately, it was raining so sitting outside wasn't an option, but i'd love to next time around.

    Love this spot on South Congress! I saw all the hype when they first opened and had it on my list to get there. After a nearby event in St. Elmo we stopped for drinks and Mexican food from the food truck. Note this large space is really only outdoor seating. There is a small bar with a few tables inside, but the outdoor space is HUGE. They have bathrooms and sinks outside and the inside bar is dimly lit with cool lamps and lights. I had a mezcal marg to pair with my food and loved it. Very cool and moody spot! I just saw that they have happy hour now so I will definitely be back to check that out soon.

    Patio

    Lovely lovely hidden gem for morning coffee. Has food trucks for lunch or tacos. Also has great breakfast burritos. Peaceful patio fun decorations and old rv to tickle ur childish spirit.

    I felt right at home at Fortune Teller! Moody lights paired with alchemy and elixirs (well, at least I felt spelbounded by my deeeelish mezcal marg) makes this a great spot for fans or followers of occult practices, or at least those who can have fun with it! The voodoo beach vibes makes this a special gem-with loads of patio seating, dark and sexy indoor bar, outside restrooms, and a Sabor taco truck. They appear to boast a lot of coffee drinks and perhaps a daytime menu that's great work laptops and pinkies up. Great tunes too. I ended up dancing with one of the barkeeps/owner?

    Cherry cold brew

    So glad they kept the quirky fortune teller sign out front. I've always admired it while driving by, so finally stopping in felt extra fun. We came on a Sunday and got our drinks almost immediately. The cherry cold brew (I think that's what it was) was delicious! It was smooth and just the perfect amount of sweet. The hibiscus tea was just as tasty and refreshing. The only downside is the parking situation since it's pretty limited. One of us had to hop out to grab drinks while the other circled around. Still, totally worth it for the vibe and the quality of the drinks.

    What an adorable, much needed addition to South Austin. Inside is small, which to me means it's perfect because if you come here to work, it stays mostly quiet. You can sit at the bar or there is one high top with 4 chairs. We were the first ones to arrive on a Thursday morning and were warmly greeted by the barista/bartender. He was so excited to share every little detail about the work that was done inside, including his favorite, a grackle peering outside of a red-tinted window facing South Congress. The coffee was good (and hot) and quick to make. All that's noticeably missing inside is a water cooler. He mentioned they were quick to open so still working out some kinks but this place is going to be my go-to for the foreseeable future. Something else to note: there's a QR code on the receipt that makes it super easy to pay. PS: the Kickstarter story, specifically how Thomas Bailey came across and acquired the sign out front is a must read.

    I had been curious about this spot ever since seeing the large neon FORTUNE TELLER sign whenever I drove by on South Congress. I wondered if that had always been there and I had just never noticed but this sign is anything but forgettable. Judging just from the sign, you wonder what this place actually is - is it an actual fortune teller's business or something else? In a sense, it's both. The sign itself was from an actual fortune teller in Nevada, which the owner of FORTUNE TELLER bought and it served as a central inspiration for the look and feel of this place. I live within walking distance of FORTUNE TELLER, and in this part of South Austin, although we have amazing local walkable spots like Little Darlin' and Sagebrush, there has always been demand for more. A testament to that feeling is that yesterday when FORTUNE TELLER announced it was opening at 8pm, the news spread to all my neighbors and we all came by to see what it was all about. The spot is very cute. The coffee and bar are inside this quaint little cabin, transporting you away from the bustle of South Congress. The bulk of the seating is outdoors, which will soon see the return of the great taco truck that used to be here. The cocktail menu is solid, with a lot of interesting takes on classics. The Mezcalita is strong and not very smoky as it includes Espolon Blanco as well, and more about enjoying the taste of the tequila as opposed to all the other stronger flavors to mask it in a margarita. I also tried the Sangria Spritz, which was really refreshing and not sweet. It also had a complex licorice flavor, which I think was from the Nonino. Many in our group opted for the canned slightly fizzy rosé, which was really good. The wine menu was limited at opening but we were told will be fleshed out over time. (They just got the city approval to open so they decided to open right away, while continuing to make changes) With my usual cafe standards on the menu like cold brew and matcha latte, I'm looking forward to working from here soon. FORTUNE TELLER describes itself using the words Coffee, Cocktails, Community. I really felt the importance of the last part last night. It was a place that facilitated conversation, where you could commune with friends and strangers. The parking situation evokes community as well, with the ability to park in neighboring parking lots like Twin Liquors (when it's not open). It's a place you want to support, not just because it's down the street and the staff are all friendly good people, but also because not many places have, cultivate or prioritize this good of a vibe.

    Service was great, of course we were here on a Monday at 3 celebrating our anniversary, but still the music, ambiance was amazing. Definitely will make this a must stop.

    Wow, such a charming bar! The cocktails are creative and the staff is warm and welcoming. We tried the fig old fashioned and the lavender bee's knees--both were fantastic, though I would have loved just a touch more lavender in the bee's knees. I'd definitely come back to explore more of their cocktail menu!

    It's too bad no one's claimed this spot yet. I went here to have a tarot reading with Snowy and it was my first visit and I didn't know you could eat here so I already had dinner but because I don't drink, I was low key impressed with their coffee and tea menu because I had hot tea at 6pm on a weeknight and to me that's a vibe. It's a slight challenge to get it iced but not impossible so I just took it hot since I was sitting inside the bar. If you order food there actually digital kiosk to put your order into but I don't know what's on that menu. It was a hot day outside but I imagine when it gets cooler, this will be a nice spot to pull up and grab a bit and drinks with friends. The reading with Snowy was great and inside the bar it's small with limited bar seating but that's the only place with A/C.

    1920's style revived house!

Just like "our" location, service is exceptional. Everyone was so good to Sir Benjamin. He was so relaxed and chill during our hangout. It's that peaceful vibe that comes with good service and pretty landscaping.

We were treated nicely, but we definitely could have gotten in right away. By the time we walked in, the place was probably at 60% capacity. It was standing room only at the bar, but not overcrowded by any means. There is a dress code, but it's not entirely clear what it is. Some guy dressed to the 9s got turned away for not having sleeves whereas I got in with sneakers and a t-shirt. They ask for your cellphones upon entering and give you a key in exchange, but there doesn't seem to be any security to enforce it if you don't want to give them up. I have no problem with their policy, but I bet a lot of customers do. Interestingly, their little social experiment seemed to have a positive effect, where we ended up talking to strangers and vice versa. The Powder Room may be making America social again.

It's been around since 2018 so most folks know where it is by now. Heads up, you no longer have to use their app to make a reservation. Simply do so through Open Table and that's when you'll get the entry code. So glad it's no longer a members-only spot as well. The basement location gives anything but a basement vibe. When you enter, you'll see the infamous black paint on white walls mural but then you're transformed into something more. An elegant and elevated high-end speakeasy that transports you to what life in speakeasy settings must have felt like in the days of olde. Who doesn't love being greeted by a tasteful, giant, fake bear with welcome cocktails? The low-lit space brings a feeling of warmth, secrecy, romance, and mystery. You absolutely get the feeling you're in a special and secret hideaway space. From the refined wallpaper to hand blown glass lighting fixtures to the lush and velvety sofa seating, you are truly immersed in the vibe. It brings a feeling of noir and romance with even sexier drinks. Being seated in one of the nooks is my favorite and just really adds to the overall experience. If you follow my reviews then you know I often refer to excellent cocktails as liquid works of art. And, in this case, it's like the most exclusive, high-end art gallery of liquid masterpieces. Cocktails with branded cubes, top tier alcohol and other ingredients from around the globe make for a worthy piece of drinkable art. It doesn't end with cocktails! The mocktails are equally as beautiful and delicious. I highly recommend the cocktails and mocktails. Service is exactly what you would expect and want it to be in this environment. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than average but you're paying for art, atmosphere, and experience that is beyond wonderful.

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.
