    the fifth element
    Leah G.

    thank you jose for a great time at little drinks! I ordered the vaya con dios, judgement day, and the fifth element on their summer menu. definitely worth the experience if you're visiting and it's a nice everyday happy hour option if you're an austinite. the bill came out to $57 which isn't bad for three flavorful drinks, a shot, and two little corn dogs for a party of one. i'll definitely be back!! p.s. I came back and tried the mars attack, thanks again jose!

    I visited Little Drinks Lounge during a short trip to Austin, Texas. The atmosphere was very inviting and the staff was incredibly kind. The bartender, Sam, was kind, attentive, and informative! He made me a drink based on my preferences and it was very delightful, he also refilled my water whenever it was empty! I had a great time here and recommend checking it out!

    Well, welcome Little Drinks lounge to South Austin as I know you are the kind and cool little brother of older brother, Drinks Lounge (East Cesar Chavez area). I welcome you with open arms and all smiles as this spot is definitely worth coming in to have a cocktail, beer on draft, and be sure to pair it with a hot thin crust NY-style pizza from Pedroso's Pizza trailer! This spot is probably the darkest bar in the South Austin area with their black out crushed velvet curtains, cushiony dark green & black booths, and super cute pink neon signs - which is all a great things for a bar especially on hot summer days when you just want to drink in a dark cool place. You're the coolest little brother for sure and I am so excited to have you in the neighborhood. Came in with my best friend to try out their happy hour menu on a Friday afternoon and we were pleasantly surprised how low-key the vibes are here + the great happy hour specials they have. On week days from 5:00PM - 7:00PM they have $2 Lonestar, $2 PBR, $2 Miller Lite, 1/2 price pints of beer (they have about 8-10 local drafts), $5 Old Fashions, and $10 pizzas were on special when we came in. We definitely took advantage of the $2 beers and got lost in conversation while watching others get a game or two on the all black out pool table. Every day Little Drinks has a special deal on cocktails and drinks and will reward you handsomely on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday Industry nights with some great shot specials. Be sure to ask the bartenders or check out their signage on the bar tops. The gender neutral restrooms are selfie-worthy so be ready to want to take a picture of yourself with the album artwork that is plastered all over the walls from ceiling to waist level. I especially loved the prep/extra mirror space between the restrooms with the coolest Support Your Girl Gang neon pink sign. Grab your girlfriends and get ready to post your gang in front of it. Be sure to grab a photo from the photo booth, where you will also find the 2nd pink neon sign above it, so that you can add your pic to the others who frequently come to Little Drinks. Plenty of space and picnic tables outside in front for fresh air, outdoor hangs, and zooming car watching up and down Congress Ave. It does fill up outside pretty fast, especially as the night goes on, but there is plenty of standing room and seats to hang out on as well. Parking was super easy for us (street parking up and down Alpine Rd- the road that is a huge hill) but also spots right in front of the storefronts directly off of S. Congress + free parking in the retail spaces right behind Little Drinks in the condo, The Davis, area. I am definitely going to make sure to tell my friends and coworkers to join me for a week day happy hour as I dig the vibes and really appreciated the swift service from the bar staff. Looking forward to coming back this week!

    spicy paloma was delightful to say the least! typically wouldn't get a frozen drink but it was recommended to me and i enjoyed a lot! went in the middle of the day it was empty but the service was kind and quick with the drinks so they get a gold star from me lol. really enjoyed the layout of the place and i look forward to coming back to explore it deeper :)

    Awesome charming spot. Had the pleasure of swinging by during my weekend trip to Austin. By luck, I happened to be served by the owner herself. Friendly, personable, and held awesome conversation. Her old fashioned was not bad at all! They were playing movies on their projector screen, added a nice odd sense of security, entertainment, and distraction. The bar was very close to where I was staying and was a perfect spot to chill after new years eve night. The interior was cozy, on the darker side, I wouldn't call it a dive bar, but definitely what I look for when I'm in a more low-key vibe.

    Finding places like Little Drinks Lounge should be easy in Austin but apparently it is no longer the norm to have a bar with simple options and drink specials that is very affordable, this place is ideal for the hot summer in Austin where you just want to enjoy a refreshing afternoon with some Frozen Margaritas or their famous little drink combo, the place is cozy and cool inside with very good vibes and very friendly bartenders, the outside space is large and with enough tables, definitely a place to hang out with friends and have a good time. Encontrar lugares como Little Drinks Lounge debería ser fácil en Austin pero al parecer ya no es la norma tener un bar con opciones simples y especiales en bebidas que se ajustan a los bolsillos de muchos, este lugar se me hace ideal para el verano caluroso en Austin donde solo quieres disfrutar de una tarde refrescante con unas Frozen Margaritas o su famoso little drink combo, el lugar es acogedor y fresco en el interior con muy buenas vibras y con bartenders muy amables, el espacio exterior es grande y con suficientes mesas, definitivamente un lugar para frecuentar con los amigos y pasar un rato agradable.

    Awesome service. Outstanding. The nicest chill patio and relaxed vibe. When i went the halloween decor was out and festive. I had the cheese pizza with truffle oil and it was excellent. I loved this place.

    Great little dive atmosphere, bartenders are great and the cocktails are amazing. Great place for a chill night cap.

    What Five Stars? because this place is exactly the kind of dive bar that makes Austin weird in the…read morebest possible way. Dirty Bill's is gloriously unapologetic. You walk in and immediately know you are not in some polished Instagram cocktail lounge. It is loud, a little gritty, and full of people who are clearly there to have a good time and not pretend otherwise. The beer is cold, the Lone Star flows like Texas water, and the vibe is pure old school Austin. And yes, the legendary bathroom situation deserves its own paragraph. The men's room features a giant ice filled trough for a urinal, which feels like something out of a 1970s roadside saloon documentary. Somehow it is both ridiculous and perfectly on brand. It actually becomes a conversation starter because you walk out laughing and immediately tell your friends they have to see it and go pee. The crowd was friendly, the bartenders were quick with the beers, and nobody was taking themselves too seriously. I ended up staying longer than planned, drinking Lone Stars and talking to random people like we had known each other for years. If you want craft cocktails served with a rosemary sprig this is not your place. If you want a hilarious, slightly chaotic, authentically divey night in Austin with cheap beer and great stories, Dirty Bill's absolutely delivers. Five stars and I would go back in a heartbeat.

    Dirty Bill's (gotta love the name) is literally right next door to J. Carvers where we had dinner…read more Dirty Bill's was on and popping!!! We were drawn in by the music. They were spinning some popular tunes. The place was packed with a very fun crowd. It appears to be a bar you come to have drinks and chat. There was a small area where dancing could take place, but no one was dancing at the time. The staff including the general manager was super friendly. It felt like a wedding reception as you came into the club where you were greeted...very warm and welcoming. We had a drink and stayed a short while. It looked like a place you could come for a girls or guys night out or celebrating a fun occasion. Will definitely consider Dirty Bill's for a future fun evening...

Instead of basic customer service, I was met with attitude, irritation, and eventually being called "bro" and spoken to disrespectfully in front of other people. I work in service myself, so I'm usually very understanding, but this experience completely killed the vibe of the night.

They have a tiny parking lot which is OK for smaller shows, but they will charge you $20 to park at bigger shows like Juvenile tonight or Psych Fest. The only other parking option is in the residential streets about 5 minutes walk down the road. But I feel extremely bad for the people in those homes who were there before this venue started doing big concerts. With that said...it used to be a cool little bar with a large covered tent stage and they decided that wasn't big enough. It's also sooooo far South. They charge a 20% "TIP" automatically on every bar purchase. So an IPA was nearly $17. Unless C3 or Live Nation has bought them this is just insane. While this is legal...if it's mandatory, it's not a "tip" under IRS rules -- it's a service charge. That means it belongs to the business, not automatically to the server. That's F'd up and they need to change the language on that.
