    I came here with my boyfriend wanting a nightcap. Bri was working the bar, and we asked her to create a couple of dessert cocktails for us. She made my boyfriend a "Bri-sicle" which was so delicious, and me a cocktail that tasted just like an adult strawberry milk. The service was so great, and they even had little games you could play on the tables.

    There are plenty of bars in The Domain, so why go to a hotel for drinks? In this case, because it's the WXYZ Lounge the The Aloft Hotel where you will find superior cocktails from a master bartender. You will meet Mike, who has been behind the counter for 8 years (and has created many of the drinks on the menu!).  He will identify what you are looking for, can educate you about your drink, the spirits, and his process. On top of that, he has a great personality! This lounge is quite small (it *is* in a hotel lobby) but there are comfortable chairs, couches, and tables for you. And most appreciated, it is fairly quiet. You can have actual conversation.  It's a wonderful way to close out your evening.  Superior cocktails in a comfortable setting. And, don't forget, prepare to tip Mike well! He will deserve it!

    While staying at the Aloft at The Domain over a long weekend, we noticed this bar was quite lively and active each night! On the weekends, they had a one-man band (guitarist) and the lounge and bar was completely packed each night, even around midnight! So, on our last night we stopped in, grabbed a spot at the bar and had a nightcap. Bri was the bartender and she was very friendly and helpful. She had just designed a new drink with fall flavors that my wife got, which seemed to be quite popular, as others were drinking it as well. It really did taste great! They offer all the common bar favs in spirits and have a decent cocktail menu, but you can always veer off the menu and challenge the bartender, if you want. I always enjoy these WXY Z bars in Aloft hotels, they're typically energetic and fun and this experience was the same.

    Fabulous cocktails with a fabulous bartender. Highly recommend, ask about his book!

    Just wow!!!! We were going to Culinary Dropout and they were closed for a private event. We are so grateful! After looking at Yelp reviews we decided on W XYZ. We had been screaming at each other at other bars in the Domain because of loud music and the overcrowded atmosphere; when we entered the Aloft, the music was refreshing and understated and the ambience was perfect for a Friday night. Mike, the Master Bartender greeted us with a mesmerizing beard, waves of silver curls and a welcoming smile. The cocktail menu was innovative and had a story to tell. The three of us chose different drinks after consulting with Mike and they DID NOT disappoint. Wow again!!! Try the Vintage, 837-5309, Elizabethan Poetry, A$$ in the Sand and/or the Baby Step... Heck!! Try them all (Get a convenient room upstairs). The curated cocktails are delicious and made with care. Mike crafted most of them himself and you can taste his passion and thoughtfulness. Yum!!! A wonderful way to experience the Domain in a lovely and connecting way with your friends/family. Obviously, I highly recommend. We will definitely be back and bring others. Special. Magical. Refreshing. Needful. Austin at its best.

    Corey is the best bartender in town. He is the reason we stay at Aloft Southwest when we travel to Austin.

The space itself is clean and stylish, featuring 12 Austin-inspired holes. The service from the staff is friendly and attentive. The mini-golf course is realistically doable, which is a plus because so many indoor mini-golf spots have gimmicky setups that are trash to play. The price is a little on the expensive side for 35 minutes of play, and like most mini-golf courses, it tends to get backloaded at each hole when it is busy. Just chill out, sip your drink, and take your time enjoying the round. If you are looking for a cool indoor activity in The Domain to beat the heat with upscale drinks and some casual competition, Dirdie Birdie is a super fun spot to check out.

It's connected to a variety of eating spots and shops and there's plenty of parking at nearby garages. We both opted to play mini golf and shared a hibiscus Paloma along the way. The staff were all quite attentive and helpful and our server was very prompt with giving us the menu and our drink! There are a few different holes you can try and some of the concepts were really interesting. One of my favorites was one where it shoots the golf ball up the wall and you watch it come down various ramps and musical instruments. This is a good spot for a date night or fun with friends and family. The mini golf area is smaller than some other mini golf spots I've visited in Houston but it was still a fun time. We finished the whole course in around 20-30 minutes and there wasn't a line. Seems to be a fun spot to visit on a weekend!
