Savannah is a mixologist, genius, and a bad ass. She is master if her craft, a genuinely kind person, and a terrific bartender! I walk blocks for her original, one-of-a-kind cocktails you cannot find anywhere else. Go check her skills at Lit before its too late with her own TV show!

We came here twice with some friends while on a mini get away (we are from New Jersey). the first time we went to this place was around 4 pm, the place was kind of empty ( I guess it was too early to start drinking), but the owner was so nice to us at the door that we decided to give it a try. The bartender was very friendly, and knew how to sell. ( he made this drink sound so appetizing that we ended up ordering 2 rounds, it was pretty good!!) we came back to the place later that night. The owner recognized us, and asked us to come in. He told the security guy at the door that we were good to let us in and he did, he let everyone in BUT ME!!! I asked him what was the problem that the boss said we were good and he asked me for ID. Then one of my friends stepped out to see if everything was ok, I told her that the security guy didn't let me in after the boss said we were ok, and the security guy said " If you don't like it go somewhere else" I was the only BLACK in the group, so you do the math!!!!!!!! then owner finally came out and apologized and told us that the security spent many years in the military and that's why he is like that. to be honest I don't know what does being in military has to do with being RACIST!!!

We came here while on a bachelorette. Ambiance: Spacious and good vibes Service: Everyone was super nice. We had reserved a table and got free champagne bottles. The music was quite good but unfortunately the day we went the place was pretty empty, maybe because it was Sunday. If I were to return to Austin again, I would definitely pass by again.

We went back in June for my friend's birthday! We contacted a host via the website and was quoted prices for bottles. It was VERY decently priced, especially since we're from chicago. We showed up a little later than what we said, but he still gave us the price we were quoted and gave us a bottle of champagne. It's a small bar/club but we had so much fun. The music is hip hop and throwbacks. It's right on 6th street, so was walkable from our hotel. I don't think there's a dress code, since it's 6th street but we went in with sandals and gym shoes but with dresses on since it was a celebration!

I came here with a bachelorette party and they gave us free bottles of champagne and a reserved table! Music wasn't too loud. Definitely a good start to our night on Dirty Sixth!

Decent place, loud bass driven music, overpriced drinks, although with heavy pours. It is very cramped and tiny much like everything else on 6th, this place also has a small up stairs bar that is less packed Smells musty but all in all not a bad spot to go and enjoy some drinks.

The drinks were terrible. I've never felt the need to complain to a bartender. It was soda water with blue dye.

Powder Room is a speakeasy lounge tucked behind the "kitchen doors" of Manny's Sandwich Shop, and…read moreit did not disappoint! We came on a Thursday evening with a reservation for 7. Once we walked through Manny's, we were greeted right away and since we had a reservation, we were seated promptly. Quick heads up: cell phones aren't allowed inside -- they take your phone and give you a key to a locker where it's stored for the night. The idea is to keep everyone present and engaged with each other instead of their screens (they do make exceptions for emergencies or on-call situations, at the business's discretion). I actually love the reasoning behind it, even though I wished I had my phone to snap pictures of the inside! The space itself is dark and moody with major art deco Miami vibes, like something out of the 80s-90s. Think pink velvet draped everywhere, a life-size taxidermy leopard in the middle of the bar, and flamingo sculptures scattered throughout. It's gorgeous. There's plenty of seating between the booths/couches and the bar, and they seat you according to your party size. We got a plush half-circle booth with a table that fit all of us perfectly -- great sightlines too, so everyone could see and talk to each other easily. Each table gets an assigned server, and ours was fantastic. We ordered cocktails along with the yuca fries, empanadas, and quesadillas -- all delicious. I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was pink, gin-based, and so good, served in a beautiful tall stem glass. Loved everything about this place and will absolutely be back next time I'm in town!

I have never experienced such an insane welcome in my life. I made a reservation for 1:30am. Now, I…read moreknow that is late, but if it's too late for a reservation, you should not make it available for scheduling. The guy at the front was very nice, but as soon as we get to the "receptionist" the entire narrative changed. She looked my girlfriend and I up and down and then proceeded to tap multiple times on her IPad. She then says, "you know it's 1:30? we close at 2. we only have standing room." She had the most miserable scowl on her face. My girlfriend and I were dressed very nicely (pants & jacket, and a dress), so I know this was not a outfit issue. I do not know what her issue was, but if you are tired and don't like staying up late, don't work in a bar. After saying that there was only standing room, I decided that I was not going to spend money in an establishment that speaks to people in such a disgusting way, so I proceeded to leave. One of the guys out front asked what was wrong and asked if he could buy us a drink, but at that point I decided that I would not spend a dime at this place. Just giving a heads up! Lady at the front is EXTREMELY rude. Looking at the other 1 star reviews, it looks like this place has a reputation for being discriminatory.

The dim lighting, intimate setting, and overall atmosphere make it one of my favorite spots in Austin for a date night. It's romantic without feeling overly formal, and everything about the space feels thoughtfully put together. Drinks | 5/5 The cocktail selection is EXTENSIVE! And I mean extensive! There's so much variety, and I love having so many options to explore. The drinks are consistently well-made, and you can tell there's real attention to detail behind them. Definitely one of my favorite places in Austin for cocktails. Light Bites | 5/5 They have a great selection of light bites to enjoy with your cocktails. The charcuterie is delicious, and their cheesecake is AMAZING! I appreciate that the food is just as thoughtfully prepared as the drinks. It's the perfect amount of food for an evening of cocktails and conversation. Service | 5/5 The servers are always wonderful! Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

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

We were able to have a conversation without feeling like others were listening. The music is very different than the vibe of the actual area. They were playing different rap & hip-hop artists. It was loud, but I enjoyed it. It felt very Austin-y. Loved the drinks. There was one that had something to do with Bob's Lake, or something like that. That drink was absolutely delicious. We also got the caviar service, and I really enjoyed that. Was not crazy about the blinis, I believe they were made with black corn flour. The crème fraîche was very nice. Very nice night out.

There is something for everyone--no kidding. I loved their spin on a Paloma and my friends enjoyed standard items like old fashions and Moscow mules. Very very comfortable lounge seating, plush velvet and other soft textiles with leatherette coasters. Very elevated and calm. Music is perfect but kinda loud so conversation is a bit of a struggle. It is very very very dark in there so it's super intimate and features candles and mini tap light lamps. If you have sight or mobility issues, you may not like this venue from a safety standpoint. Steep incline stairs lead down to this dungeon like hold. I would return in a heartbeat. Must have the password. Exclusive and decadent is the mood. So if it matches you, you have to visit!

This is gonna be located on the fifth floor in the JW Marriott. You have to walk through the pool area as this is on the west side of the building. 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.

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.
