2500 E 6th St

Great little neighborhood spot with a food truck and nice sized patio. Good drinks and good prices. Friendly service.

My boyfriend and I had some friends in town and decided to check out La Holly. We found free parking easily on the street and walked inside. It's a pretty small space inside the bar area, and it was packed, so it was a while before we were served. We were in no rush, so this didn't bother any of us! We ordered and then found a picnic table that was free out back. The space itself is cool, but I was a little disappointed by the drinks, which I felt were bland and a bit boring. I hope to go back another time to have a different experience and change my opinion, because it looks like a great spot!

Just spent 12 times 18$ plus tips at this place and the fucking bartender ruined the experience . He literally said, we are on his fucking last nerves!!!!!

The bartender was very angry , rude . he treated us like garbage. he yelled at my friend . do not go here!!!!

Solid cocktail bar. Really enjoyed the Nespresso Martini- Smokers section Not 4/20 friendly tho, *Disclaimer.

Unfortunately don't like leaving bad reviews but, went to this bar with 11 of our friends spent over $300 in less than 15 minutes. Bartender was extremely rude. Had the nerve to actually tell us that we were getting on his nerves when we didn't do anything wrong don't understand why someone would act this way. Do not spend your money in this bar!!!

La Holly is neatly tucked in East Austin where you can get lost in conversation for hours with friends and enjoy the intimate bar indoors or the open space in their back courtyard. The drinks are strong and their portfolio of liquors is superb. I love a more intimate drink environment and the swag items are worth buying.

La Holly Cantina is one of my absolute spots in East Austin! This modern cantina offers killer selection of agave-based spirits - mezcal, anyone? I'm all about that Oaxacan Wipeout, one of my go-tos. And don't even get me started on La Sancha - it's like a frozen party in your mouth! I practically set up my office here; the chill atmosphere is perfect for working on my laptop. The staff totally gets it - they're cool with you doing your thing, but also super attentive. Shoutout to La Holly for nailing that delicate balance. Let's talk tacos! Taco Flats, the food truck parked right in the back, is pretty damn tasty. I'm a big fan of their birria. Every bite is a flavor explosion, and it's the ideal fuel for my laptop hustle (though messy, so worth it). If you haven't checked out La Holly and Taco Flats, you're seriously missing out on a low key East Austin joint.

Very rude and horrible service. Spent over $300 dollars, but got treated very bad, especially by the bartender

Cute little bar on the corner of east 6th and perdernales. It's in a small converted house and one of the few remnants of the original neighborhood. The bar is focused on mezcal cocktails though they have a full bar so it's not entirely specialized like other mezcal bars. There's also ample outdoor seating that faces perdanales street that is visible from the street and sidewalk so this place is really popular when the weather is nice outside and right after work. They have a happy hour two that shaves off about $2 a cocktail. There's also an onsite food truck that you can order from just scan the QR code and pay from the app and pick up the food from the truck. They serve tacos and chips. I would say the tacos are just okay so I wouldn't come here just for the food.

Great lemon drop drink, and Bloody Mary. Needed a quick stop to place, to have a drink and wait for our appointment, and I'm glad I found this place close to my dogs appointment.

Attended a beautiful and festive Dia de los Muertos Patron event. Staff was friendly and made delicious cocktails! Perfect space for this tasting event. Intimate and cozy. I will be back to visit during regular business hours.

This place is very different. They come in waves where they will be packed and then empty then packed again. There doesn't seem to be a gimmick or anything else that bring people in beyond a chill vibe and drinks that make people happy. It's a great warm up spot for sure.

*3.5 or 4 stars for the bar. *-1,000 stars for the food. We met some friends here on Wednesday evening for food and drinks before heading to a jazz show. The bar itself is divey and intimate; drinks are small and expensive, but that's the new Austin, so no hard feelings. Service is hipster chic, but the guys were personable enough. If we had just come here for drinks, we would have left happy. Normally we're fans of Taco Flats because we've been to the Burnet location a few times and enjoyed it, but we had a terrible experience here and never want to go back now. The main issue was their ordering system--SO HORRIBLE. The stupid QR wasn't working and after going through the whole annoying and cumbersome process of ordering, we couldn't check out. And we tried several times. So when one of us went up to the truck to try and order from there, nobody could speak English or place our order. Great business model!! Our friend was finally able to get it to work on her phone, and when the food finally came out, it was laughable. The brisket taco consisted of, like, 75% pieces of pure cut up fat. The shrimp taco did not smell right. We do have to say that the birria taco was the only one that we enjoyed. And that the chips were pretty solid (queso was only OK). In whichever case, the food ordering experience infuriated us beyond belief--enough to make us feel that we would never want to come here again nor patronize the Burnet location again. 2 stars instead of one--only because the bar was fine.

Great bartenders and the mescalitas were on point. I also enjoyed a nice craft beer on tap from Zilker and there was an awesome food truck out back in the patio area. Great atmosphere inside and out and service was good too.

La Holly is the best bar on the east side, imo. This place does so many things right. There a few things that make this place stand out: -It's not loud (you can actually hear people in your group and don't have to yell -Indoor and outdoor spaces are cozy and can easily acomódate large groups -Cocktails are great and they also have a ton of mezcal pours you can chose from -Taco Flats has great tacos and chips and guac -Bathrooms are clean -Lastly and most importantly: It's never overwhelmingly packed. This place is very comfortable. Great for an intimate date, after work drinks, or night out with a big group of friends. Cons: -Don't go after it rains. You'll be sitting inside or on a wet seat. -Some staff can be rude which really sucks. Including ownership. Luckily the rest of the bar makes up for this.

On a Sunday afternoon my husband and I stopped in for a drink. We got a drink but alas the food truck was out of chips and salsa. I will say they make a decent margarita. I hope in the future the food truck has chips.

Omggg I HAVE to talk about how DAMN GOOD the food is!!! We came in on Friday night (8/20) around 7pm so it was hoppin', but luckily we were able to find a seat inside. It's pretty loud in there, small space, filled with people, loud music -- we didn't want to sit outside (still too damn hot), so be prepared for that loud vibe. I was standing in front of the bar looking at a menu when the two guys sitting at the table next to me just randomly and simply stated, "get the pirata." I took it as a sign from the universe and that's exactly what I did. Totally straying from my normal go to (fish or chicken) the protein here was beef fajita so I was a little nervous. But all was calm in the world when I took that first bite. This taco is THE SHIT. Reminded me of my grandpa's cookouts when I was a kid. I text my Mom immediately, sending her pics saying, "Apa's relative must have made this meat." So full of flavor!! We also ordered the chicken quesadillas which were delicious with the cheese ring on the outside. My guy got the fish taco and said it was good, too! I will be back, COUNT ON IT!

This place was a great spot to hang out with friends outside while enjoying chips and tacos. There were many picnic tables with shade available. The website said the food would take 35-40 minutes and we almost left. But we decided to stay and so glad we did! Not only was it ready in under 10 minutes, but it exceeded our expectations. The chips were thick and crisp. Theyhad a great crunch and the guacamole and queso had great flavor as well. I had a shrimp taco. Very tasty. It's a little pricey at ~$6 a taco, but it was a solid experience and we didn't have any issues.

Great outdoor area when the weather isn't too Texas. The indoor bar has a few seats on rainy days. You can order tacos from Taco Flats online and they'll text you when it's ready. Pretty decent queso and chips. Even if mezcal isn't your thing try the frozen hibiscus drink. And they also have some local beers. There isn't parking but street parking is free in the area.

The bartender, Caleb is the best! We come here for the great vibes, service & community. The only thing that would make this place better is adding some citronella tiki torches to help with all the Texas flies

Had the al pastor and pescado tacos. Wow, they're great! Initially I thought the tacos cost way more than other taco places, but after I got my tacos I can see why. The tacos are filled with good amount of meat and the fish taco had a large piece of fish in it (not just the flakes). I also got the habanero salsa, which made the tacos even better. The al pastor is a bit oily, but I don't mind since the meat was very flavorful. Be prepared to eat your taco with a spoon since it's so juicy lol.

Just moved here and walked to La Holly. Amazing margs. But KYLE is the boy. Made us feel right at home & gave us drinks to die for. 1000/10

RAMOS GIN FIZZ is the shit and they may not be able to make it though fyi but I got one. I'm a fan of the margarita casera . The Trace is the skinny off the menu version. 6 out of 5 stars the only bar that I will come to any day for drinks and tacos. Queso always runs out too quickly. Caleb is the shit.

If you love mezcal, then you HAVE to check out La Holly! They come up with really innovative ways to make mezcal shine in all their drinks. Happy hour is from 4-6pm on the weekdays, and you get $2 off their cocktails -- but maybe not their house specials drinks? My friend and I arrived early on a weekday around 4pm and ordered their specials, but we didn't see the discount when we closed our tabs. I got the Sueño Helado (Icy Dream) which had sweet orange and pineapple flavors, while my friend got the harder, more robust mezcal special that was mixed with vermouth, El Amante (The Lover). We sat outside to enjoy their spacious outdoor bench seating as the city started to cool down after a hot December day. (Yeah, it's like that here...) It was nice to have the place to ourselves to chat over some delicious drinks, and then watch the place fill up by the time we closed out our tabs about an hour later. I think La Holly is a perfect pit stop for happy hours or bar hops. The ambiance was chill, and everyone at the bar was super friendly and helpful. I'm actually kinda jealous of the people who work at Favor, because this mezclaría is right next door to them! Will definitely be back. Cheers y'all!

I enjoyed the patio seating because there are plenty of mister fans and covered seating--especially needed in this 100+ degree weather. The patio area is more spacious than the inside of this bar, it's extremely small. The food truck is expensive for smaller tacos, but it's really delicious, I ordered the Chicken Mole. The atmosphere was eh... weird. Drink are overpriced and slow service. Overall decent experience. Still parking is available.

I freaking love the drinks at this iconic mezcal/tequila east side spot. Drinks are so so good, and Taco Flats never disappoints. I'd happily be 5-stars except the last time I went - I was denied a cup of water with my multiple drink purchase, and I was directed to purchasing a bottle of water (a major TABC rule-breaker, and just generally disappointing). I hope y'all have a team huddle and standardize a better practice here pronto.

This purveyor of sumptuous and enormous tacos currently sits where the Dee Dee's food truck was once situated. You can buy your margaritas at the restaurant next door. The tacos were scrumptious and practically a meal a piece. Served hot. Sweet and careful service. Handmade tortillas. I recommend the tacos al pastor. I'll be back!!

Well I'm not sure which to review, because I had to pick up my taco from La Holly, but given I ordered with Taco Flats, I'll leave my thoughts here. It was a simple order for one taco - beans, spinach, avocado - on a rainy Sunday 4pm. I reached 15 minutes after placing my order and the guy said it will take another 15 minutes!? There was no one else around - no cars waiting, no one at the bar - like it was thunder and lightning. The amount of stuffing in the taco was generous but it was quite bland without dousing a lot of salsa on it. The beans had great texture though!

Excellent frozen margaritas (boozy and flavorful) with your choice of salt rim...Standard, habanero, sweet tamarind. I love this little fun detail; takes it up a notch. There always seem to be a gaggle of gents behind the bar that are friendly and handsome, to boot. Some inside seating and a huge outdoor patio with misters and some covered areas. Taco Flats truck is in back and you can order their goods from the bar (and pick up at the truck). I am not a fan of the vessels (they need to be wider and shallow vs deep and narrow) for the queso, salsa, and guacamole, but I VERY much like all three of those dips and the chips that accompany each of them. Wish you could order them as a trio so you didn't have to triple down on chips, but if you have enough people, that shouldn't be an issue. It has a divey vibe but doesn't feel down and out.

Great drinks and ambience. Bartenders are great and drinks are reasonably priced. Nice hole in the wall bar.

Thanks to our new soccer team, taco flats came to my job and gave us 1 free taco. I got the al pastor. Meat was flavorful and taco was loaded with meat. Will definitely be going In the future to try more tacos

First time visiting this place today and was extremely underwhelmed. The vibes were very odd and uninviting. The main reason we came was for the food truck, but it was empty and you had to order through a QR code. Didn't want to chance how long that wait would've been since no one was even in the food truck.

I'm just another EA noob that just moved here but we can blame that on La Holly and Taco Flats! :) La Holly is a chill pad with some amazing drinks. It feels like it's in a similar vein with Half Step and Whislers to me. They are great. I've been working my way down their list and I haven't had a bad one yet. Spirit forward or light and refreshing - they have it. I usually grab a drink and order food (which is sent to Taco Flats - food truck outside), they hand you a pager and a buzz or two later and the food is ready. What a marriage made in heaven with these two places. Head in after work for their happy hour and see what the buzz is about.

Bar: The bar service is great and they have good music. The prices are good and the bartenders are fun, make great drinks and I will be coming back. The patrons were nice and fun it is a nice vibe. We had a great time when we went. Thanks Caleb! Food: I had the queso it was watery and flavorless with a layer of oil on top and I did not taste any chorizo but I did see some pieces floating in it. I also had a chorizo taco and I didn't taste a lot of chorizo but I did taste the cheese and onion on the taco. It was like I ate a cheesy onion taco with a little bit of meat. The onions were very thick. I would say the food lacked flavor for me. I would not order it again. I took away a star for the food because it's a bar and you should go for the bar.

Chill bar in Eat Austin specializing in mezcal cocktails. Big fan of their frozen La Sancha which uses vida mezcal, triple sec, their house made hibiscus syrup and some lime. Gives off a very woody taste. Cool outside patio to chill in. They have an inside and outside bar. Did I mention they serve up some good tacos as well?

meh. underwhelming and overpriced. weird vibe. it feels like a bar looking for an identity.

Have you tried their frozen spicy marg? You should! I love this place. Great drinks, chill neighborhood vibe - during the wee - weekends can still get rowdy, but always fun. Margs, tacos, chips and salsa... it's really all you need, right?

I really like the feel of this place. The vibe was very chill and they have a great amount of mescal to choose from! The bartender was very nice and able to make literally anything I asked about. Which is always impressive to me! My only complaint was with the food truck. (Which I know it probably a separate entity but it was the reason we didn't stay) We got pastor tacos, which are my favorite! But the pastor meat was burned to a crisp. Couldn't even eat the meat it was so tough. Very disappointed with that. I will say the queso was delicious but it hardened up super fast. But otherwise, the bar itself I give it an A. Check it out, just don't plan on eating.

Does anyone want a $12 margarita to-go? Either the bartender on shift was lazy or 16oz doesn't mean 16oz for La Holly. Super disappointed in a place we've heard good reviews about. They should be valuing to-go customers just as much as in-person customers. No excuses.

Oaxacan Wipeout and quesadillas. Yum. I take a photo of the menu every time I'm there and pretend like I'm gonna make it at home.

Good drinks, nice patio, chill place, what's not to like?! Lots of veggie options for tacos. Didn't love the queso but my husband liked it so that's more of a preference.

This is one of my favorite places during COVID. They have the best mezcal selection and the food truck has one of the best tacos. I recommend Taco Pirata. Also, the outdoor tables setting is great for a good weather day. This location is more chilled that West 6; That is why I like it.

Really great fish tacos. Would highly recommend the catch of the day. Their app trio is great but the quest is THICK. I personally didn't like it as it had a glue texture. Only bad thing we had there. Jalapeño Margs were exceptional

Hands down ate the best taco of my life here on my last trip to Austin. The Gringa taco is unique because on top of the tortilla, before it's filled with amazing roasted pork, is a layer of chewy, melted jack cheese. The meat, pineapple and onion is wrapped in this cheesy tortilla goodness and IT. IS. MAGICAL. The guacamole is also incredible, with amazing homemade chips. Wow. I also tried the shrimp taco, which was great, but I honestly would only eat the Gringa for the rest of my life if I could. Located behind La Holly, an incredible mezcal/tequila bar, the owners of Taco Flats own both the food truck, the larger restaurant in Austin and the bar itself. The outside patio is perfect for relaxing with friends and tacos, and you can also order from inside the bar itself and enjoy one of their amazing cocktails. Definitely an Austin favorite for me!

We stopped in to La Holly on a whim, it's now one of my absolute favorite taco spots in Austin. Order online and pick up from the truck in the back. Inside is a cool island vibe with great service and drinks. Try the pirata and the pollo asada. So savory and hits the spot every time! Chips and guacamole are legit also!

Ok, first time here.... Lived in Austin for 10 years and native Texan. If your looking for a legit food truck.... pass!!!!!! Food truck in back with women on their phones and nock on the window to get attention...."order food at bar!" Go to the bar "scan this code and enter your CC info and place your order" Opened QR and enter CC info, email, phone #, ect.... For an queso & chips!!!! Pick up order and it's chips and salsa.... Nock on window again and told til talk to the bar because they have no queso..... Talk to bartender and he shows me screen where I ordered chips and salsa... I show my phone where I ordered queso and the bar tender removes order from my tap and throws entire order in the trash and looks me in the eyes and says .... "Sorry dude we don't have queso!" Welcome to Austin!..... waste your time and don't even get what you pay for!!!!!!! Much better options in Austin!!!!

If you want some legit Mexican tacos or quesadillas... this is it. Randomly stumbled (literally lol) on it and best find in a city that's a melting pot of good food. Plus the two girls.. de la gente .. loved their personalities.

I would drive by this place all the time, not really giving it much consideration, but just recently I noticed a beautiful mural adorning the side and it caught my attention. This has to be new, right? Apparently so! And I'm happy to say this place is fantastic! Into they're eighth week of service, this small east side dive has been transformed into a charming Mezcal bar. They're serving up some really tasty riffs on classic cocktails with Mezcal as the focus. Don't worry you can still find a great sampling of local Austin beers and your staple cocktails but when you're here, it's really all about the Mezcal! I really appreciate the small cozy interior space with a the bar wall covered in beautiful Mezcal bottles from all over Oaxaca. I tried the Negroni and Old Fashioned, both were so flavorful, mellow and smokey. Using Del Maguey as their well for these cocktails was really nice to see! They have a great patio with a few picnic tables and cafe lights strung above connecting you to the perfect accompaniments to a strong drink or Mexican Lager, Tacos and Thai! Taco Flats and Dee Dee's Thai trucks. Had a great experience here. A great friendly atmosphere. Sometimes a more unique spirit, like Mezcal, can be intimidating to try but I'd say this is a great place to get started!
