Avaliações de The Grackle Austin
We played a good game of pool, had great conversations with both the bartender and the person at the door. Love the atmosphere, and glad we finally gave it a try. The selection of whiskey is insane and I’m definitely coming back to try the green tea shot on tap.
A classic dive in the heart of East Austin. Amazing whiskey selection, pool and darts. Bret is my favorite bartender— smart, kind, full of stories and knowledge. His mustache is epic.
The Grackle isn’t your dainty cocktail lounge, it’s a whiskey-soaked temple of grit. Walk in and the air smells like bad decisions (in the best way), the floor is sticky, the music growls, and the bartenders pour like they’re trying to test your liver’s loyalty. No neon Instagram corners here, just dim light, wood worn down by a thousand elbows, and a whiskey list that makes you feel like you’re about to pick a fight with the devil. You don’t sip here, you throw back. You don’t pose here, you post up. This is where tattooed regulars nurse shots next to broke musicians, where the bathroom graffiti has more poetry than some MFA students, and where last call feels like a dare. If Austin ever got into a bar fight, The Grackle would be throwing the first punch.
Dear the Grackle, You are a fantastic space. You can tell someone cares about the plants on the patio. A person in the food truck outside called me momma and then, I thought, yes, I am momma. I am momma at the grackle and I am momma eating a cheesesteak. I am momma and I have no children but I am Here at The Grackle being momma.
Whiskey, whiskey, and....... more whiskey. I love it. It's definitely the largest and finest selection around. And the selection really stacks up against others in major cities (yes even vs my hometown Lexington). Bit of a hole in the wall but who cares. If you love whiskey like me (especially bourbon) then you are required to come here. Do it!!
Cool, dive spot to get a good cocktail. If whiskey is your jam, then this is a good spot to check out. Mint Julep's, Manhattan's, and Old Fashioned's on tap. Great service, along with a fantastic selection of hard to find whiskey options. Various Weller options as well as Blanton's, to name a few.
Nice place. Chill atmosphere. They have darts and cult classics playing in their TVs. Bartender is knowledgeable about whiskeys. I had a super smooth local whiskey, Balcones Single Malt. Luckily I found out it’s carried at my Seattle Total Wine! Definitely getting a bottle when I get home.
Not big on the people that were there. Being in my late 30s and from the country, I felt out of place and not comfortable. But the service was good, and the bar tender was nice and got what we wanted. I enjoyed my night with my woman and that's all that matters.
The best part about this bar is that it's a double wide. Big covered patio with a nerdy grungy crowd. Good taste in movies and shows on the TVs. If you have a bad time here it's your own fault.
It’s a decent standard dive bar on east side that’s not too crowded. The whiskey selection is pretty darn good. The beer selection ain’t bad either, but the Saturday I was there they were out of almost everything. The bartenders are cool though. Very chill place with an awesome food truck on site. They actually have some parking too, even if it is just a handful of spaces.
Awesome dive bar with a crazy good whiskey selection. The place itself is really cool and relaxed. The interior has got a few tables, darts, and a pool table. There's outdoor seating with fans and all, and there's even a food truck out front. The bar tenders are awesome and make a killer whiskey sour. They also have a short (about 8) but surprisingly good selection of beer on tap. There's a very small parking lot, so you'll likely have to park out on the street, but it's more than most bars on east 6th offer. Definitely worth coming for the whiskey alone, but it's a good spot for a late night hang.
Whoever is the owner of this establishment has no business acumen. A business should never treat clientele as poorly as this bar. I've been here twice and will never return. Whether it's the bartenders or front of door staff if you're a paying customer they act like they're doing you a favor by giving you any type of service. Read the other reviews and you'll see how they treat their clients - and yes if you are a person of color the establishment is indeed racist so take your hard earned money somewhere else to a business that deserves it. There are better options in Austin.
The barmaid we dealt with handled our tab in a way that felt misleading and inappropriate. I advised her that my wife would be coming up later to order a drink on my open tab. When my wife went to the bar and requested something along the lines of Drambuie, she was served a shot of Averna Italian liqueur at $20 for the shot. There was no clarification offered about the fact she was ordering a high price premium drink before serving it. This shows poor communication and lack of transparency. It was an apparent deliberate upsell without informed consent. Either way, the experience left us feeling taken advantage of rather than valued as customers. We will not be returning.
I was attempting to get on the pool table. Got skipped and then told the guy that skipped me that I wanted next because he skipped. I was not abrasive at all. I was sober. The bouncer came up to me 2 minutes later and told me I had to leave and wouldn’t tell me why. Turns out my friend talked to the bouncer later and I was “being too persistent about playing pool”. What does that even mean? This place is unfair and not cool enough to be unfair. Not worth the visit. There are plenty of better bars on east 6th. Go there instead.
The rudest, most consistently unpleasant staff on 6th - especially the bartenders. There’s also some regular (or maybe an employee?), Chris, who just camps out at the bar being openly nasty and weirdly aggressive, like it’s encouraged by the bartenders. It honestly blows my mind that the owner knows how vile this place is and still lets it run like this.
as you can tell from the 3.2 star overall yelp rating, this place is best to be avoided. The bartender with the mustache and bad tattoos was the most hostile, rude, and unpleasant person I’ve ever come across. If you’re thinking about going here, don’t. The owner must not come in very often or check the reviews, because there’s no way their staff should treat people so poorly, so consistently, and all keep their jobs. Half of them have 10+ reviews specifying how vile they are to customers.
Similarly to a lot of people in these reviews, I was absolutely appalled at how mean the staff was. The mustache man behind the bar was the single rudest person I have ever encountered within a service industry. I took a lime from the open tray (thought that was acceptable, apparently not) and he almost slammed the lid shut on my fingers before proceeding to yell at me endlessly. I apologized multiple times, but he just kept yelling. He seemed like a rotten person and I would advise against anybody giving this place business. I’ve also heard that he has a history of being extra rude to cis white males, which is pretty in line with the way he treated me. For a place that outwardly advertises anti-hate values, they sure are hateful. If 0 stars was an option, that would be my rating.
I will never come here again. I’ve never experienced a staff so needlessly hostile to people who were regulars for years for no reason. The employee who checked our IDs was so offensively rude that our entire group wasn’t able to talk about anything except why that kind of experience even happened. Why ever speak like that? Did the employee want to get into a fight? Did they want us to be certain about feeling unwelcome? I’ll never come here again and will never recommend that anyone come here. Every single bar is better than this. Look at the reviews of any bar on E 6th, something is wrong with this one with this many 1 star experiences echoing the same thing over the past 2 years. Don’t give them your money.
This place is the WORST. Starting with the rude bouncer... and then ending with horrible bartenders with bad attitudes. One bartender told us to "get away from the bar" when there were 15 other people mingling at the bar (Don't know how there were even that many people in that place). Not to mention the atmosphere in there is like stepping into a dirty bathroom. Good luck having a good time here because all the workers SUCK and will make your time there miserable.
