Handcrafted cocktails in a vintage-modern speakeasy setting
"From the team behind popular Downtown bars Here Nor There and In Plain Sight, Bar Hacienda is a speakeasy in the basement of Tiger Lily. We’re big fans of the cocktails at this group’s previous establishments, so we have high hopes for this latest project." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"An underground lounge in the basement of Tiger Lily from co-founders Terance Robson (Two Doors Down in NYC, and Here Nor There in Austin) and Jack “Slim” Hogan (also of Here Nor There), this bar features Robson’s drinks like the Sunshine Sazerac (mango cognac, banana whiskey, vanilla Peychaud, and watermelon cordial), Salero (vodka, mango, vanilla sorbet, freshly squeezed orange juice, and bubbles), and Caragigilo (reposado tequila, sweet vermouth, miso, liquor 43 smoke & spent coffee). The bar is running a summer happy hour Tuesday to Saturday from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., when your choice of three cocktails costs only $20." - Courtney E. Smith
"Building a speakeasy inside a fancy cocktail bar is like putting a top hat on a beret—and that’s exactly what Bar Hacienda has done. This upscale spot from the team behind Here Nor There and In Plain Sight is tucked beneath Tiger Lilly, and it’s worth the trip downstairs. The space feels like a 19th-century parlor room where someone might sip absinthe while quietly plotting a revolution—complete with leather armchairs, Persian rugs, lush plants, and enough chandeliers to make it all seem a little surreal. The drinks lean tropical, with creative riffs on classics that are perfect for an Austin summer, like a sazerac made with mango cognac, banana whiskey, vanilla bitters, and watermelon cordial. To get in, head through the front doors of Tiger Lily and down the stairs." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
