Unexpected night out led me down south to the Far Out Lounge to see Spiritus, covering Ghost. It…read morewas a great show, sound was on point, but my interactions with everyone on staff - literally Aaron to Zeb (A -Z) - were so markedly positive that I couldn't have had a bad night if I tried. They were also awesome about assuring me my car would be safe overnight, so that fun was not marred by unnecessary stress, anxiety, or last minute poor choices. Thanks so much, Far Out staff -- see you soon :)

The bartender/manager interaction here was honestly bizarre and unprofessional. I ordered a drink,…read moreclarified the tequila I wanted, and asked for salt on the rim, completely normal requests when paying premium prices for cocktails. 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. If you're going to charge upscale lounge prices, the staff should know how to treat customers professionally instead of acting annoyed that someone wants their order made correctly.

Four tvs on one side with various slots on and captions were in two of the four. Lots of beer on tap and I got the Cuban mojito. Very tasty however the mint didn't looked to be muddled as it was still full leaves. I ordered the chicken fried chicken with a loaded baked potato and the dressed Brussels sprouts. This also comes with a cheddar biscuit. Everything for food was delicious and I wished there were more Brussels sprouts. The chicken friend chicken had a crispy breading and the gravy went well. Music was questionable when I walked in and the variety was there. Love Come down - Evelyn King to Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf (thank goodness for Shazam). Service was good, got greeted right away upon entering and then again once seated at the bar.

The covered area has a large TV, and they also have a stage for entertainment. They now have two food trucks: one for Tacos and one for burgers. The bartenders are great, always friendly and make tasty cocktails. I always appreciate a rotating menu, and love to try their new items. I sometimes stop by just for some caffeine and to get some work done, as they open quite early and have a "refreshments" menu aside from their cocktail menu.

There are plenty of different seating options but very few seats inside. The place is chill, ordering drinks took some time even with no rush. Seems like they have some pre-mixed type of cocktails. Honestly, neither of us liked our drinks much. We actually left it behind. The food truck is nice to have though we didn't get to try. Happy that South Austin is finally seeing some nice spacious outdoor hangout spots.

With a space so gorgeous you'd swear it was torn from a page in an interior design magazine, it's…read morealmost daunting to step inside. Bright and sunny, wide open with lots of natural light, tasteful hanging planters, and minimalist decor, there's nowhere to hide. It's a place to see and be seen, but not nearly as pretentious as that sounds. They just care about the details and it shows, including the attentive service and well balanced drinks. Though I feel like I should crawl back into the dark, dank dive bars that I know best, it's a gorgeous breath of fresh air for those good hair days. Generous parking lot, easy off the highway, good evening hours. The only thing I'll knock it for is being so far south! Anyone in the neighborhood has better treasure this place, since I won't be able to get out there that often.

Imagine Lala's feels like a chill, comfy neighborhood bar where you can actually enjoy yourself, and the ambiance, and have a conversation with whoever you came with, instead of a tourist clogged beehive? Because BOOM that's Lala's South Pole. I'm not even a big Christmas person, and I am smitten. Charming, quite, festive. It feels like a hidden gem. I probably shouldn't be reviewing it so it can stay that way, but no one like a gatekeeper. Also, absolute baller pizza from Brooklyn Pie Co. I had to really talk myself down from going back the next night just for more pizza. The service is... well what you would expect from a "trendy" Austin dive bar, as in... None, but that's part of the charm kind of? I've actually tried a lot of new pizza places lately and this is what stands out in my mind. Drinks wise? It's a bar. They serve you alcohol. Nothing special, but nothing wrong with it either.

They've got a huge back outdoor patio as well as a front patio. Brooklyn Pie Co. is set up inside to take care of your food needs. For those that don't know, Lala's South Pole (& Little Nugget) are year-round holiday bars. While Little Nugget really goes all out, South Pole isn't too shabby at all. Great decor, wonderfully curated holiday cocktails and mocktails, beers, spirits, and more. Super service. This is a place where there's no way you could ever feel sad or down and out because it's just pumpkin' with happy holiday vibes.

Wanted to get the breaded chicken with the green spaghetti (another item that's delicious!), but no one paid me any attention even after my first beer was GONE. Barely touched my side of the bar. And they were three, at least 4 bartenders. Everyone's side was taken care of. Today was not your day. I'm pissed, PISSED! Picture below was what I ordered a few weeks ago and it looks good right? I guess I missed out on it today.

We were a little lost when we first arrived because the door is quite subtle, but fortunately someone else was also entering. Our servers were all very friendly and we were seated by the manager. I highly recommend making a reservation--the only reason we got in was because another reservation for 10:00 didn't show and it was almost 20 past! The drinks were good and they have a pretty solid list of "experimentals" as well as some themed drinks for the bar. I had the Daisy and an espresso martini and enjoyed both. All in all, I think this place is great for a 1:1 or coming with a small group of 2-4 people. And our receipt came inside of a book, which added to the quirkiness of the place. Would definitely come back!

Our server was very friendly and attentive. This is where things change. The bartender, asked me if i was born stupid because the door was held open for longer than he'd prefer. As our server was sitting us, we could overhear the bartender saying things about us to bar guests. Totally uncomfortable situation. We stayed for one round of drinks and left as we felt totally unwelcome due to this guys actions. Great place, but how do you run a business with rude staff like that. Also, two signature drinks, two glasses of wine shouldn't cost over $100.

NOT SO at this establishment! It was PERFECTION! Actually juicy, full of grilled flavor and expertly paired with toppings of their choice. I changed nothing and now I think I'm ruined because nobody will ever serve me a better burger! I also had the elote dip and it was also STELLAR! Bravo y'all!

Outdoor seating is very nice in the fall/winter (but hot in summer... but that's Texas's fault. Not theirs.) Honestly, only issue I've ever had is the parking lot is a little rough.
