The Best Speakeasies & Secret Bars In Austin (And How To Get In) - Austin - The Infatuation
"We know what you’re thinking. “But Infatuation Austin, The Lucky Duck is just a bar on East 6th Street, not a speakeasy,” to which we’ll tell you to head to the back of the patio, behind the basketball arcade games, and make your way through the little wooden gate. There, you’ll find an illuminated walkway guiding you to a cozy little cocktail bar up a flight of stairs, set in an old, remodeled home. It doesn’t have a name, and it’s only open on the weekends—when it’s busy, you’ll be able to scan a QR code at that gate to add yourself to the waitlist—but if you make it inside, you’ll find yourself in a relatively quiet and cozy escape from the busy bar it’s attached to, with cocktails that are a few steps above the average bar in the area." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
