"Set in a renovated two-story house on West Slaughter Lane, Daisy Lounge is the latest addition to the quickly growing South Austin cocktail bar scene. It’s dark and dimly lit, with green and gold velvet chairs, and it’s only open Thursday through Saturday nights. The drink menu features a mix of classic and experimental cocktails (like a namesake drink with coconut-washed gunpowder gin and lavender), plus a few small bites that range from cajun-spiced corn nuts to market price caviar service. The space will also be home to a Persian pop-up restaurant on the second floor that’s expected to kick off in the upcoming weekend. " - nicolai mccrary
