Bosses Office / The Break Room

The Best Speakeasies & Secret Bars In Austin (And How To Get In)

"In a pretty nondescript building on East 7th topped with a small flickering neon sign is Bosses Office, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar with drinks inspired by iconic figures throughout history, like Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth II, and Paris Hilton. Order the Anthony Bourdain, and watch your drink slowly come into focus as the air clears from a smoke-filled glass cloche. Or get the Charles Darwin that comes topped with a floating cobra made of ice that might give you a cold boop on the nose as you sip on a drink that smells like freshly cut grass. Grab a reservation online, then tell your soon-to-be-confused manager that you need to head out of work early to get to Bosses Office in time.  " - nicolai mccrary
