    Good cocktails for a good price. Mixology approved. Wish there was more parking but does have their own parking which is something I like when going to a bar. Recommend for a first date.

    Honestly, the cocktails weren't that great they were a little strong I don't know they just were OK. I guess I would definitely suggest getting beer if you don't like interesting tasting Kasia definitely interesting to see if it is because I'm not used to it but I mean love the happy hour specials will come back maybe have a beer here. The setting is really cute and chill. So all in all cute spot definitely hidden in the back corner you might miss it if you don't know.

    A lot of fun chill vibes killer selection of spirits and just all around fun place to go for date night

    Je Ne Sais Quoi cocktail

    The Je Ne Sais Quoi cocktail for the month of August is seriously one of the best cocktails I've had in town. Definitely very sweet, but it doesn't taste like juice and the main attraction is actually the pillowy foam on top. I had trouble hearing my date, so the acoustics are a bit off, but it's a nice chill spot to meet a friend or date. Cocktails are about regular price for Austin. The place is billed as a whiskey bar and certainly had mostly whiskey but I'm not a whiskey person and there were still offerings for me to enjoy.

    Old fashioned

    Finally got to try The Wheel after a long wait. Moved to the neighborhood almost a year ago and when I tried to come here, they hadn't reopened. Came today to have a celebratory vaccine cocktail. It looks like they used to have a $4 whisky of the day... well, it's now $5 but the winning bet is to make it as a cocktail for $8. An $8 old fashioned? Can't say I'm mad about that. Jenny behind the bar was super friendly and I gotta say it's nice to sit at an actual bar again.

    Hidden gem with all the essentials. Small dive bar on the inside with Instagram beer water wall on the outside. Great happy hour and a bomb food truck to munch on. This is a whisky inspired bar that does not disappoint on the craft cocktails!

    They have a cocktail named after me...but they spelled it wrong!

    Unassuming from the parking lot. Hiba & Aaron are amazing. Thank you for creating an experience:) I'll be back!

    Easily one of my favorite bars. Low atmosphere, dope music, diverse spirits/dank beers on tap, and friendly bar tenders.

    I am thinking of going here with a party of 12 or so on Saturday evening, December 23. Questions: Is this a good place for a party of this size? Are there large tables or…

    Sorry! Just seeing this but yes it's great for a party that size plenty of seating at tables outside

    Gaslight Anthem..., and I sampled some beers, but ultimately ordered the whiskey of the day from the board.

The Flor De Fuego was smokeyy and spicy with a kick, while the El Mercado was perfect for my sweet-drink-loving heart. The space is small with limited seating, but a nice date night spot. Since they just opened, service was a bit slow and crowd management could use some polishing. Definitely recommend making a reservation so you don't have to wait for tables to free up. Excited to revisit and try their food menu!

The mezcal selection is amazing, which is really the whole point. It's the best way to try something new, with over 20 different agave spirits from all over Mexico. The staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and they take the time to walk you through the differences in flavor, region, and even who made it. You can tell they really care about honoring the traditions and the people behind the spirits. Cocktails are thoughtful and seasonal, but I'd recommend trying at least one pour neat. The food is just as good, as you might have guessed by the menu next door. The thick cut tortilla chips are unbeatable, especially when paired with fresh guacamole and homemade salsa. Whether you're a mezcal nerd or just curious, La Mezca is one of the most unique and thoughtful drinking experiences in Austin. I'll definitely be back.

It seemed quite busy but I was still able to get the bartenders attention amid a large group in front of the bar. I would say it's very similar to kitty cohens in terms of cocktail quality and over all atmosphere. It's also dog friendly which is a plus since I love bringing my dog wherever I can.

The drinks were pretty good, I had the moon tower cocktail which was a little sweet but still pretty strong and my date had a frozen cocktail which he also liked a lot. There is parking in the area (streets) that I do believe is mostly free; I ended up parking across the street at Este because I ate there first but there were lots of other cars parked around the place. You order at the bar; menus are on the table but you have to walk up/nobody serves you at the table. You also seat yourself. Bathrooms were quite clean too! Overall this place has a pretty good vibe; I have other go to spots around town I would choose first, but I liked Teddy's and if you live nearby/in east Austin it's a great option for a drink and chill :)
