"Widely revered among the Austin cocktail cognoscenti, WaterTrade is a watering hole of global significance. The intimate, Japanese-inspired tachinomi (standing bar, from the Japanese words for 'stand' and 'drink') is adjacent to Otoko — one of the city’s premiere omakase destinations with the same ownership. Like its neighbor, it offers up a transcendent tasting menu. Only here, of course, it’s all presented in liquid form." - Brad Japhe

WaterTrade Is One of the Best Cocktail Bars in the US
