Amazing happy hour during the week!!…read more Chips and dips and frozens are half off! Love the hurricane frozen so good Also they have lettuce wraps in case you need to remove the bun! Order at the bar and find your own seating It can def get packed and busy! Parking can also be tricky but overall it's a great spot The burgers are great and there are plenty of varieties too

Ambiance: 3/5: It's a nice spot to stop by before or after visiting Deep Eddy Pool. The atmosphere…read moreis decent, but I wish they had more tables and seating options for guests. Food: 2/5: The food was pretty basic, especially considering the price. We ordered two drinks, two burgers, and a side of fries, and the total came to $65. For that price, I expected better quality and flavor. Unfortunately, the burgers and fries tasted comparable to something you'd pull straight out of your freezer. There are better food options in the area. Service: 1/5: The service was the biggest disappointment. When we approached the register, the bartender/cashier greeted us with a casual "What's up?" My partner ordered a margarita, but the order was made incorrectly. When he politely asked if it could be remade, the bartender laughed at him. Laughing at a customer who is simply asking for their order to be corrected is unprofessional and unnecessary. On top of that, customers are prompted to leave a tip despite there being no table service. You order at the register, pick up your food at the bar, and are expected to bus your own table. Overall: I was pretty disappointed with the experience. While the location is convenient if you're visiting Deep Eddy Pool, the food doesn't justify the price, and the service leaves a lot to be desired. Between the mediocre food, the rude interaction, I left feeling that the experience simply wasn't worth the money. There are better options in the area, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

Wow- what a hidden gem!!

It isn't cheap but still a pretty fair price, considering other bars with less creative and fun atmospheres sell more expensive drinks that are made poorly. The painkiller was perfectly balanced, no strong or sharp alcoholic taste, smooth, not too sweet, and just enjoyable. The staff were kind and prompt, and we got to see some fire and lightning shows as a result of other tables. What a good time. Worth the farther drive.

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.

I visited for the first time on a Wednesday evening…read moreand enjoyed a handcrafted menu (literally, the menu is hand drawn) full of unique and delectable cocktails. 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!

Really enjoyed Anthem's Happy Hour! (M-F open-7pm)…read more We split a variety of items off their HH menu: - banana daiquiri (sweet and tropical vibes) - Lychee Lowdown (floral and refreshing) - Salmon poke (full sized and fresh) - Itchy Salmon (warm and rich) - Brisket Rangoons (crispy and savory) - Miso Mac Daddy (loved their take on mac and cheese balls!) Service was excellent as there weren't too many patrons on the afternoon that we visited. The decor is cute yet casual. When we're back in Austin, we'll definitely come back!

Right next door to Via 313 and a slightly sketchy alleyway lies The Cat's Pajamas, the most relaxed…read morerooftop bar you'll find in the area. We went on a very busy night but the line to get in wasn't too bad. Luckily this place is just off 6th so it doesn't get the foot traffic it should. The bar is beach themed, almost like a Maragaritaville with palm tree tops lining the bar and random jet skis offering photo opportunities. The staff is friendly and the venue is very accommodating of the weather with coverage and fans for the heat and heat lamps for those "cold" Austin nights. They have a decent amount of seating and TVs throughout the bar so you can definitely catch a game there. One of the best parts of the whole bar is the nighttime view of downtown. From there you can see the Cisco building and some other high-rises, definitely a nice contrast to the closed one or two story bars around. The Cat's Pajamas is a fun rooftop bar, not too crazy, not too sit down. It finds just the right spot for those who don't want to push through crowds on the street but still want a little bit of life out of their evening. Very much recommend it for those ending a night or wanting a slow ramp up before going all out. Also, drive safe and Uber if drinking. Parking around there is a nightmare.

One of my favorite bars in Austin. Some people might see it as a little divey, but that's honestly…read morepart of the charm. The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed, and easy to settle into whether you're there for a quick drink or hanging out for the night. The drinks are consistently great, and they also have really solid weekday food specials. The sliders and tots are definitely the go-to items on the menu and always hit the spot after a few drinks. One thing I especially appreciate is how much effort they put into the themed décor during Christmas and Halloween. It really adds personality to the space and makes coming back during the holidays feel fun and memorable every year. Just an overall great neighborhood bar with good vibes and a lot of character.

My purse wasn't searched. Had a great time celebrating Kevin's birthday, bought and paid for my tab, closed out only to have the same blue haired door man ask to check my bag before I left. I happily opened my purse and made a comment out loud about being discriminated against and he said they do it to everyone... but when and how who I didn't see that happen to anyone? I've been here for quite some time. I felt prejudice towards myself from blue haired boy because I was on my way out and the person whose job it was to check my tote upon entry ( which they did not) ask to look into my bag then and there.. with no explanation. If the staff gets in trouble for not checking a bag throughout the night just say so. As a woman of color, I felt targeted especially since I've been in Austin for 39 years... Austin really has turn to trash.

He told me about the happy hour specials and also informed me that it was free pool night (on Mondays). I'm not a huge fan of whiskey, but I've found that whiskey bars tend to have amazing craft cocktails. I browsed the HH menu and noticed a Whiskey Sour. I actually like a Clarified Whiskey Sour and was curious to see how it compared. The Whiskey Sour wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as the Clarified Sour that I've had at Reserve 101 in Houston. Kyle told me they're working on some clarified cocktails. I also ordered a Boulevardier (which isn't on the HH menu). Kyle admitted that he had never made one. He quickly looked up the ingredients and made one for me and it wasn't bad! I've only had this cocktail one other time before so I didn't have much to compare it to, but I did enjoy it. They have a small cigar menu. Cigars can be smoked outside on the patio (which is shared with Las Perlas and Caña Rum Bar). I liked the laid back feel between the pool tables and the rustic decor (it felt like I was in a lodge). Though I'm not a big whiskey drinker, I did enjoy the cocktails as well as the ambiance.

If you are a whiskey drinker, you will find a fine collection of bottles here…read more Or rather - you will find a very very fine collection of scotches here. There are some highly interesting bourbons as well. The selection of ryes is thin. If you read Whiskey Advocate (which I have been known to do), the rye curating will give you no thrills. The selection of Irish is thin as well - but no blame on that point. The population of upscale Irishes is just not that large, once you pass some over-rated cliches like Redbreast. * * * Seven Grand however is not an abstract name. That is how much you will pay in order to drink here. The prices for two ounces of many of those beverages will make the eyes pop out of your head sideways and go running out the front door. In more than a few cases, two drinks here will cost you close to what you would pay for a full bottle purchased at a liquor store. Now to be sure - bar drinking is expensive. That kind of percentage markup is not unheard of in the industry. But when you move up the price range for the raw material, The absolute amount of money you are overpaying to have that drink goes up astronomically. I will pay big for a peak experience I will remember for the rest of my life. (See my review of Craft Omakase.) I will not pay big for a random experiment with a bottle that could be wonderful and could be overrated. It is more economical to just buy the bottle. If the experiment works, I get a free month of legendary drinking. To my mind, bottle testing at Seven Grand just doesn't make sense.
