Drinks Lounge Austin Reviews
Awesome spot on the outskirts of the city with music and pool. I even got lucky getting free food and drinks on their anniversary! Chill vibes all around
This is one of my favorite bars in Austin, the guy that runs the record shop is super cool. Their bar food is really good too
Incredible Deftones Album Release Party for “Private Music”! Great sound system, great bar food (kitchen in-house) incredible bartenders (Molly😊) and did I mention that there’s a sweet-ass record shop here too(?)! If you haven’t been here, you don’t know what you’re missing! Visit their website for the latest release parties, live music, recording sessions, etc., etc. This is Austin at its finest!
My favorite place to visit when I’m in town. Always a great vibe and Mel makes the best drinks. Shes an angel and so are the rest of the staff. A must visit in Austin without a doubt!
Highly recommend. We visited this place many times during our week long visit to Austin and it became our second home. Very friendly staff, provided great recommendations for visits. Free pool, cool vibe, relaxed people. Try the Tot-chos, they were delicious.
Found this place late at night when my friend and I were looking for some good food. We were not disappointed. First of, we were greeted by an incredibly funny employee, checking the IDs as you came in. Very personable and did a great job of making us feel welcome. We ordered a couple of burgers at the bar and our drinks. I was a little skeptical about the burgers because this place seemed more of a bar than a restaurant. But I was not disappointed. The burgers were delicious. 10/10. They were just that good. The rest of the staff was super friendly. We had a great time here and I will certainly be back. A+
Very chill vibe with good drinks and food. Staff is very friendly. Music isn’t too loud. They’re taking all the COVID precautions so it’s fairly safe to come grab some drinks here. It wasn’t packed either, just the right amount of crowd all hanging out at their tables. I only tried a couple of drinks so I’ll be going back for sure to sample other cocktails and their beer selection.
Love this lounge. Friendly staff who will remember you and probably even your regular order. Best tended bar I've been to on Cesar Chavez with a great food selection and always good music playing. Love that they have a photo booth and pool tables and sometimes even a witches market...always enjoy myself whether it be with a group of friends or just having a beer by myself.
Cool little dive bar with a record store insise. Has 2 pool tables also. Reasonably priced.
This place’s aesthetic is really cool, tall leather booths, funky chandeliers, pool tables and an awesome outdoor area. The bartender was super friendly to everyone and had interesting conversation. I had the frozen cherry limeade and it was great, the loaded cheese fries though…those were absolutely incredible. I usually shy away from cheese fries because of how soggy they can get but my fries were so crispy, had a bomb queso on it with bacon and jalapeños. Their front patio is a good size, with a few fans blowing and turf instead of concrete which was a nice change. I love being on the East Side more these days and I would definitely add this to my list of go-to places!
They have a section of records, live music, and a small selection of liquor. It was small and loud with a garage door to a covered seating area. There is nothing wrong with any of this! The bar tenders were really nice too! It was clearly a converted bar. It just wasn't what I exspected off of it's page and reviews. I was expecting this lgbtq+ friendly focused bar in the city and it felt more like a corner bar anywhere in Wisconsin.
Staff, or it was probably even management, who made it seem like I wasn't wanted at this establishment. I'm not sure what I did, or even if I did anything to rub anyone the wrong way. All I was there for was to pick up the food items I ordered. Maybe this spot is not for everyone 🤷🏽♂️ Personally, this place seems to be phony, and their trying too hard to create a certain type of atmosphere that they themselves don't even truly come from. I'm pretty sure back in the days, it was a true to its core establishment for all kinds of music lovers and chill people... but not today. You're not missing anything special from this place. Unless you're one of they regulars 😉 In all honesty, there are so many, many, many other cool, chill, and fun atmosphere places in Austin to experience that Austin vibe that one can frequent besides this place 🤙🏼
