"Most of Austin's speakeasies are Downtown or on the East Side, but Daisy Lounge brings the booming world of secret bars to South Austin. It's hard to find unless you know to look for the daisy painted on the facade of the converted lobby that connects District Kitchen + Cocktails and Keepers, two Circle C Ranch restaurants. Daisy basically looks like the cutest library in town, with cozy chairs and shelves of hardback books built into the walls. The tasty cocktail selection is divided into classics and inventive mixtures like the Oaxacan Soda, an herby mezcal drink with lime juice and chili salt." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
