Nishant SharmaJuly 16, 2022Service is like that of a dive bar. The waitresses don't clear tables after people leave and you have to walk to the bar to order a drink coz nobody will come to you or bring you the drink.
Long CaoMay 15, 2012Get the bacon wrapped dates during happy hour for $3. Excellent deal and very tasty.
Elizabeth WiewallMarch 18, 2012Great bar to hit during SXSW (and very pleasant the rest of the year as well)
KIND SnacksMarch 7, 2013Need a late night munchie post-celebration? Find our KIND Jeep around SXSW for a free KIND bar. You'll need it.
Kevin MarksMarch 12, 2012Beware of the Tardis elevators. You get in one, and come out in an empty hotel in the 19th century.
Leyla ArsanMarch 12, 2013Skip the big corporate parties & converse among your SXSW peers in this quaint establishment
Gerry ReyeltsNovember 23, 2013Hi Todd get a whiskey on the rocks then go downstairs and stare at the creepy paintings
Laura FittonMarch 11, 2012Can't get in? There's a back door on 7th street. Even if that's locked wait for someone to leave. #dontwaitinline :)
Tommy BeltonMarch 14, 2011Try the batini at the Driskill bar. It's the official drink of Austin and amazing!!
Katie BehrMay 6, 2013Cool decor but not the best made cocktails, my manhattan was a bit off tasting.
Matt BloomDecember 14, 2011Don't miss the decorative stones in the urinals. Creates a babbling brook effect.
