    a variety of bottles
    Austin S.

    Awesome selection. Came in from Denver to visit friends and was floored by this place. Tons of beer from all over but this place really shines wine and liquor wise. Some old stuff and newer varieties and the prices are more than decent. Good local spot to get some beer or a nice bottle of wine for a friend as a gift. Limes and bottle openers up front if you are in a pinch. More of a serious spot for alcohol than a place to stop off and grab a case. Take your time choosing or ask a staff member but you really can't go wrong with their selection. 4/5 because the cashiers are a bit weird. You get wrapped up in weird conversations when you try and pay/leave. Awkward talks but the place still stands out.

    When your bubbly-lovin' best friends visit from San Francisco, you build a blood orange mimosa bar with prosecco in anticipation of their arrival. And before you serve those mimosas, roll out the red carpet by serving a glass of good champagne. South Lamar Wine & Spirits stocks an impressive champagne selection - I purchased a bottle of Perrier Jouet Brut for a fair price and some more affordable prosecco for the mimosas and bellinis. They do sell the famous flower-etched bottle but a Benjamin is a *bit* out of my price range. I also perused the extensive wine, spirits and beer selection... the store is cleanly laid-out and the employees are very helpful. A wine tasting was going on while I was in the store and it looks like they'll soon be adding specials to their website. Though this stretch of Lamar is usually really busy, the parking lot makes picking up your favorite spirits a breeze!

    Woohoo

    WHAT AN ESTABLISHMENT! I live literally around the corner and pass this liquor store everyday... however, i'm a beer girl, and don't find the need to buy hard liquor for the house.... so I haven't had the chance to make it in. I needed nice gifts for a few of my close clients and the two gentlemen were not only knowledgeable about tequila, sparkling wine, red/ white wine... they were BEYOND nice and helpful. We came in for Don Julio 1942... about $140 (they sold it for $114), and they suggested we go with another tequila that is presented better AND on sale for $87... JACKPOT... b/c I needed two! Then we moved over to the wine... where he equally knew what he was talking about.... BEYOND IMPRESSED!

    There are much more affordable options in Austin. I wouldn't stop in here unless you're absolutely desperate to spend more than you need to.

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.

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...

Me and the wife went tonight for my birthday and I would absolutely recommend The Guest House! The ambiance is friendly, energetic and the service was impeccable. Our waitress and sommelier were genuine and extremely attentive but never overstayed their welcome. Cocktails were on par with downtown ATX but don't expect a heavy pour. Food is excellent and could easily contend with Odd Duck and Jeffrey's. This restaurant is modern, inventive and... different. A DJ in the restaurant creates a fun and "young" vibe for folks just starting to branch out into fine dining (IMO). Let it be known you can easily spend a fair amount but it's worth the visit. Here are my issues: The dress code is not enforced, seating arrangement isn't intimate, and it doesn't feel exclusive. I understand TGH is trying to put themselves on the map and I respect that. However, patrons can very easily drop $1K on dinner, and while the caliber of the staff matches the asking price, there appears to be no standard for the clientele as T-shirt wearers are accepted at the same level as black tie. Maybe that's just Austin and maybe that's acceptable for TGH. As the restaurant matures and further hones their craft, I would hope the standards increase. I've spent far less money for far better food and equivalent service while adhering to restaurant decorum. To TGH - Commanders Palace you are not. Keep up the good work but I expect a more intimate and professional dining experience for your asking price.

The meal begins with a brioche croissant loaf and as a GF person this is wore cheating for. Flakey, airy, buttery and beautiful. Every step of the meal was an elevated experience. It's expensive! so just expect that going into the meal and enjoy. It's so worth the price.

From the vibes, to the food, and the fun, Bull & Bowl delivered on every level. Located on West 6th, Bull & Bowl doesn't have a dedicated or private parking lot. There is street parking all around as well as paid parking lots near by as well. We made our way up to the second level and were immediately greeted by the staff. We were taken past the bar and mechanical bull to our tables. Service was great! They were patient and knowledgeable with the menu/offerings, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. Drinks were great, an expansive menu with specialty cocktail offerings as well as a full bar, side note they do not have draft here. So far as dinner, their menu is rather diverse and we ordered quite the spread. Food came out fast, accurate, and hot. I opted for their Buttermilk Caesar Salad and loved it. Although we only went for the Mechanical Bull and had a blast, they do offer arcade games, duckpin bowling, karaoke rooms, and more. I say that to highlight the energy here was high and there were a number of groups/parties enjoying at Bull & Bowl has to offer and it was LOUD in there. Not a complaint, just something to keep in mind depending on the kind of evening you're looking to have. Everyone left the evening full and with a smile on their face, and Bull & Bowl will absolutely be on our list when looking to host future team outings. Thanks for the great time.
