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!

This place is so cool! Came here for a date she had such a lovely time. The drinks were delicious and I loved the concept of art being incorporated in the interior design and the cocktails. I'd like to go back and check it out as the switch out the artists they showcase.
