Best Cocktail Bars in Austin | Eater Austin

"The North Loop favorite serves up inventive seasonal cocktails from owner Jessica Sanders and her stellar team. It’s pretty much guaranteed the menu mentions ingredients you haven’t heard of, but don’t worry — the friendly, knowledgeable staff will be happy to explain. Drinks range from the highly creative (like the Shred of Evidence, a cosmopolitan made with aperitivo, dill, and bitter marigold liqueur) to approachable classics, with lots of nonalcoholic options on each end. There is also a hearty food menu, with dishes like a burger or a cheese board, which are available to-go, as are cocktails. Get there early to secure a place in the often-crowded pub or have a drink outside on the patio." - Erin Russell
