Red Headed Stepchild

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

"Visit Floppy Disk Repair Co’s website, and you’ll be met with an old-school landing page describing how to get your floppy disk repaired. The Downtown business is just a cover, obviously (do new computers still come with floppy disk drives?), because once you head to the actual space, you’ll find yourself in a small, lively speakeasy called Red Headed Stepchild. There are chair swings on one side of the bar, exposed brick walls, and a red glow that makes the place feel like an underground warehouse party. The cocktails are fun, with things like milk-based punch served with a side of Trix cereal. The entry password changes monthly—if you make it in, ask to get on their text list where they’ll send it out, or just ask a bartender at one of the neighboring bars." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
