"If the Little Darlin’ weren’t so far south, it would be one of the most popular bars in Austin. It nails all the essential bar elements — stellar drinks and solid food, including a hefty burger, a cold udon noodle salad for a perfect lunch, and an extra-rich macaroni and cheese made with three cheeses. Inside, the bar features standard decor, including battered wooden tables, but the sprawling patio with twinkle lights and a stage for music and shows is where the action is." - Erin Russell
