    They have a good selection of whiskeys, well made cocktails, and knowledgeable bar staff.

    Offering the city's largest selection of small-batch bourbons, this place is packed with patrons clamoring for its signature drinks -- like the candy-rimmed Pop-Rock-Tini. Read more

    Fantastic brunch. Creative bartenders, my buddy got a bacon milkshake here in 2011.

    Drinks are... Interesting. Food is good and service is usually prompt. Prices on drinks are exorbitant, but I will take it for a change over 6th street. Go here for the bourbon selection.

    The chicken-fried bacon biscuits and gravy are sooo good. And all the girls that work here are so pretty!

    Kris is, hands down, the best bartender! She makes a face-smackingly good Bloody Mary! Yummmmm

    I've tried most of the brunch menu and consider the Migas my favorite. I have not had anything I disliked.

    I have accepted a specialty cocktail to run at $9-$12 downtown.... but since when did a pint of beer run $6?! Maybe it has been too long since I have ventured downtown!

    The baked Brie is amazing... And so are the bartenders! Best drinks in town.

    Honey Bourbon Martini or Pop Rock Martini. If you want good service, avoid the female bartenders (they think they're just there for show).

    Had the Steak and Eggs for brunch. Beware: dry steak and rubbery eggs. Might be due to the SXSW rush, but I expected more, given that the atmosphere is quite nice.

    Opens for lunch during SXSW but you'd probably rather eat at Frank

    This place had 1 thing going for it. The chicken and waffles was pretty good. The service, music, people all sucked. No lie, I saw them drop a piece of pizza on the ground and still served it.

    Mixed experiences here. First was great service and decent food. 2 months later my experience was terrible. Had awful service and practically served myself-terrible food too. Come for drink, not food
