Milonga Room

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

"Milonga Room might be one of the best-kept secret speakeasies in Austin. It’s located in the basement of Buenos Aires Cafe on the East Side, through a wooden door that looks like it belongs to a haunted old building. Post up at the tiny three-seat bar or one of the handful of tables and vintage couches strewn about a room that looks like an old Victorian parlor. It’s dimly lit and intimate, with cozy corners and low ceilings. This is very much an ideal date night spot, with amaro-focused drinks and a small menu of light bites—like empanadas and macarons—if you didn’t just come from dinner upstairs." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
