The Best Speakeasies & Secret Bars In Austin (And How To Get In) - Austin - The Infatuation

"Located at the top of a short flight of stairs in a parking garage Downtown, Small Victory is a fairly small cocktail bar with a large selection of spirits, an extensive cocktail menu, and a great list of wines and sherries available by the glass. You can definitely pop in here with a small group, but the majority of the tables are made for two people, so this is more of a spot to grab a pre- or post-dinner drink. You can make reservations ahead of time, or just walk up to the little red gate on East 7th and give them a buzz—we’ve had pretty good luck walking in relatively early in the night." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
