The 17 Best Bars in Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Fittingly located in the Music Lane development on South Congress, this vinyl listening and cocktail spot looks more like the living room of a wealthy audiophile than a bar in the basement of Hotel Magdalena. It takes inspiration from mid-century Japanese listening bars, and you might hear bits of David Bowie and The Smiths mixed in with old-school jazz. The drink menu has classics and new creations—A-Sides and B-Sides, respectively—so whether you’re in the mood for Manhattans and boulevardiers or a cocktail with sesame-washed sake, orgeat, and furikake dust, you’ll be able to find something great to pair with their tuna tartare and carnitas wontons." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
