"East Austin bar Drinks Lounge has not one but two bars south of the river. The newer addition to the family is this far south Austin bar with, per the name, a huge outdoor area, plus cocktails, beers, and food trucks like pizza spot Nocco’s Napoletana and barbecue joint Smokin’ Brew-B-Q. Find a similar drinks menu at its vibey Dawson neighborhood bar Little Drinks Lounge with a pool table, pizza, and a deep love of records. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
