"Craftsman opened in the converted 1920s bungalow house in 2015, and closed suddenly in August 2019. Owner Brandon Testa kept ownership of the physical address, and told Eater earlier this year that he was leasing it to new operators." - Nadia Chaudhury

Nice, laid-back setting, with cool events (like the Bloody Good Beerfest). Good spot to get away from 6th or Rainey. Only oddity: not sure they have a separate men's restroom (?).

Love this spot! The cocktails are consistently delicious, the bar staff is friendly and on point, and the food trucks are just yum! I love the consistent offerings of funtivities as well - always a good time to be had, whether it be a chill week night, or one of their fun weekend events and crowd!!:)

The space is really nice. It's large and has both inside and outside options. Their fall 2016 menu was better than the last time I was here. Maybe they're catering to their clientele, but I think their drinks are slightly overpriced. They don't have drinks that have the depth or character that you'd see from drink.well or weather up. They do use fresh, quality ingredients so the drinks are still good.

Great for meeting up with a group or second dates. The drinks are top notch and great beer selection. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and kick ass when it starts getting busy. Parking is limited but you should probably just take a ride share.

Nice find bar. The cocktails are creative though not as complex or tasty as say Whisler’s or Weather Up. But still good. Dog friendly outside and the very nice bartenders will even humor your dog parent paranoia and give you plain water if you don’t want to give your pup the flavored water they have out for humans. I’d suggest going on a Friday or Saturday after 7 or Sunday between 2 and 8 and trying the Tiki bar in the back. Those were some of the best drinks we had there all night. From 7-8 on Friday and Saturday they are all a dollar off.

Great Cocktail bar with a cool vibe. Dig the outdoor seating and weekday specials. Good DJs on the weekend if you get the itch to dance without feeling like a "Club." I visit every time I'm in Austin.
