The Best Speakeasies & Secret Bars In Austin (And How To Get In) - Austin - The Infatuation
"If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a secret agent, head to Here Nor There. It’s in a basement under an alleyway Downtown, right next to The Driskill. Make reservations through a dedicated app, which will reveal a secret code before your scheduled time that will let you through the gate. It sounds like a lot of effort, but it’s worth it once you walk through the front door and are greeted by old-school hip-hop and a life-sized stuffed bear holding a tray of champagne. (Clean white sneakers, suede chelseas, and tall leather boots all feel equally appropriate here). The cocktails can be pricey, but with things like liquid-nitrogen-cooled olives, clarified punches, and hand-stamped ice on the drink menu, it's all part of the show." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
