papercut

Incredibly friendly servers from start to finish and delicious drinks. Tried 4 different drinks, all amazing. Expect 18-20$ per drink. Sushi pop up-can order right to the bar got the king salmon nigiri and it was to die. Can’t wait for the full Restaraunt in 1.5 months. Thoughtful concept. Highly recommend.

We tried this place after it was nominated for “Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar” in the Spirited Awards. The drinks we tried, the terracotta and the electrified were excellent - delicious and complex. The service was very attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere was sophisticated but welcoming. There is paid street parking nearby and free street parking a few blocks further.

Nice and quiet bar with high-end cocktails. The dim lighting and artwork theme were a nice addition to our drinking experience.

10/10 experience! The staff is so personable and friendly. They rotate the cocktail list in accordance with artist(s) they feature within the venue. I love cocktails on the sweeter side, and the “U Bet” was perfect for me. I ordered it again and again. Highly recommend this place :)

Wow, this place was such a cool bar. Truly an experience - great drinks, cool art, felt like there was thought put into every detail. Wonderful staff was very friendly and helpful. Really loved all the drinks - our party tried 9 different drinks, all interesting and delicious. The physical menu was super cool, the vibe was great, the art was great

What a creative spot! And not pretentious at all. Just a sharp, cool vibe! Amazing cocktails. Even the drink menu seems like a work of art with the font, graphics, etc. The coasters match the art, which rotates every few months.

Can’t believe it took us so long to try. Fantastic cocktails that were so original but still so tasty and balanced. Perfect spot for before or after dinner.

Papercut is a total gem—part art gallery, part cocktail haven, and 100% our new favorite spot. The team behind the bar? Absolute rockstars, bringing their magic from some of Austin’s best watering holes to create this killer concept. Here’s the deal: every piece of art on the walls is for sale, the drinks are next-level, and they’ve got plans for some seriously cool collabs with local chefs. We tried the Paper Cut—a smoky mezcal twist on the classic Paper Plane (chef’s kiss)—and the Candy Old Fashioned, which was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. But honestly? The best part was the bartenders. Friendly, fun, and just the kind of people you want mixing your drinks. We’ll definitely be back!

Y'all, when I say you have to stop here. You have to stop here. This place is amazing. From the cocktails to the service and the people, everything is great! Eddie, Jesus, and Jack were all super welcoming and quick to share the concept behind their idea. 100% recommend. I had the vivo margarita and not only did it smell and look great, it was delicious. I was also greeted with a drink as soon as I was seated. A nice touch. Tried their ??? Drink and it was super interesting, while it doesn't look like it's coffee forward, it definitely is. Horchata vibes for sure. Check them out.

Loved the ambiance! Such a cool concept. I loved how each work of art had a story and the cocktails rotate with each exhibition. highly recommend if you're looking for something different. The cocktails are super interesting! Staff was so welcoming and helpful.

Great service and extensive cocktail menu. I love the vibe and the unique nature of the rotating art exhibit. The server was knowledgeable and provided good recommendations. I am excited to go back!

Great cocktails. Probably the best in the city. Not a speakeasy vibe although the place is artistic. It is more of a conceptual vibe. Not super private seating or cozy. Won't be the last place to stop in a night out.

Cool new spot. Art gallery + Cocktail Bar which regularly rotates both. A unique concept which executed on both great cocktails and vibe. We really enjoyed each of the 4 drinks we tried, and service was helpful and attentive. Recommend trying out! Only feedback to mgmt was the entrance is dark and hard to tell if you're open; which ok if your going speakeasy vibe. Also the hostess felt unnecessary in what could easily be a self seating bar. Regardless we are looking forward to coming back when the new artist and drink menu come out.
