Half Step

This is hands down the best cocktail bar in Austin . Ask any reputable bartender in any city , this is the best place to drink cocktails in Austin. Also, Chris is a renowned cocktail artist !

A classier option on Rainey with more mixology cocktails and a quieter vibe

Tell the bartender what flavors you are thirsty for and they will whip you up something great! You are paying for great quality and craftsmanship . All cocktails are $11 so don't get a vodka soda !

SUCH a great bar . Get a Maine or Kentucky Colonel while you sit out in the great outdoor space ! Go on Wednesdays and Thursdays for some cool live music too. Read more

Try their signature cocktail , The Brother Mac, a take on the Old Fashioned . And if you come on a Tuesday, @brothermacatx, the inspiration for the cocktail , will be singing!

Best old fashioned I've had in a long time. This place has an ice shed that makes perfect cuts of ice. So cool. A must!

So Chris Bostick used to work at the Varnish, an amazing cocktail destination in Los Angeles. This place takes all of the good of the Varnish and brings the price down by several dollars.

What a great place to be, amazing Jazz band is playing every tuesday. Really worth a visit.

Favorite on Rainey. Really fresh drinks , decent whisky selection , great jazz tues nights

a great place to avoid the Rainey street chaos. their drinks are made with care and it shows. and it's worth mentioning that they're also strong as hell.

One of my favorite places I've ever been! Amazing ambiance, great indoor/outdoor space, and wonderful cocktails .

Love the speakeasy-esque atmosphere. Let the bartender create a custom drink for you based off your preferred flavor palette!

Awesome cocktails on a street known more for beer . Pick a liquor and the bartender will make a custom cocktail just for you!

All cocktails were solid, especially at happy hour prices. Michelada was my fave.

Busy inside? Try the outdoor bar around the side — they're usually less crowded so you can get back to drinking already.

Bar street atmosphere is a bit unfortunate - but their ginger Paloma is delicious!

I have to admit I just did scotch so might’ve missed the point. But good scotch selection

Great outdoor music venue at SXSW to get away from the crowds.

The Kentucky Colonel is amazing. Take your time and enjoy these cocktails .

Laid back yard , nice cocktails .

This bar has really gone to SH*T in the past year. Out of ingredients, incompetent bartenders , clientele douche factor also went up. Plenty of better craft cocktail options in town these days.

Delicious drinks! Gentleman caller was delicious.

One of the best cocktail bars in Austin !

Excellent, well made craft cocktails .

Awesome cocktails ! You must go here!

enjoy a drink sitting on the porch and watching people walk by.

Dark and stormy . Potentially the best in the USA. #anddone
