"The team behind Drinks Lounge and Little Drinks Lounge has created a tiny empire of laid-back neighborhood bars across Austin, and Drinks Backyard is no exception. It’s a little south of the airport on 183, so you probably won’t stumble upon it by mistake unless you’re heading out to the COTA racetrack. But once you make it over, you’ll see a small indoor bar connected to a massive backyard with more picnic tables than you can count and a 20-foot screen playing sports, movies, or whatever else the staff throws on for the day. The cocktails are cheap, and it’s home to a couple of food trucks serving BBQ and pizza, making it that much harder to find a reason to leave." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
