The Long Goodbye

The Best New Bars in Austin: Where To Drink Right Now - Austin - The Infatuation

"The lot behind Howdy’s Vintage in Cherrywood has quickly become the place to be on the weekends. It’s where you’ll find La Santa Barbacha and Fleet Coffee, and it’s home to The Long Goodbye. Inside, there’s a bar set in a room that feels like an old mid-century cocktail lounge that got a fresh coat of paint. Outside is a second bar with simpler drinks and a large patio with lots of misters and umbrellas that make this a prime spot for day drinking spiked aguas frescas (provided by La Santa next door) and taco grazing. It gets busy on the weekends, but show up during the week if you want to nerd out about Mexican amari with the bartender while enjoying half-priced cocktails during happy hour." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
