"This luxurious bar is a whiskey lover’s dream. Featuring whiskeys from across the globe, Permission makes finding that elusive bottle of Weller, Blanton’s, or E.H. Taylor a little easier. There is also a bespoke gin and tonic for folks who might not be keen on brown liquor." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Located next to its sister bar Permission, this super-secretive, membership-only speakeasy offers a private space for its clientele to convene, plus personalized menus, customized cocktails, and rare whiskeys for a one-of-a-kind experience. The catch? With no social media, website, or phone number, bargoers must visit Permission to inquire about this hideaway’s whereabouts and how to get in." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
"This Heights area bar has an inviting atmosphere with a chic Jazz Age aesthetic that’s far from pretentious. The coffered tin ceiling, Art Deco lighting, gorgeous chandelier (a New Orleans import), and vivid green velvety bar seats make for the best cocktail photo backdrop. Hundreds of whiskeys — nearly 700 — are on wooden shelves lining the walls behind the bar. They currently have a sublime Texas bourbon, Still Austin’s Cask Strength Bourbon, available for flights and as the base for their Barrel Strength Old Fashioned." - Gabrielle Pharms
"Accessing this elusive, membership-only speakeasy might take some research. The bar, helmed by Permission bar owner, is membership-only and technically off-the-grid, meaning, there’s no website, email address, or phone number available to get more information. Instead, interested bargoers must “inquire within” at Permission about the bar, and only then might they be able to enter the next-door bar, which promises rare whiskeys, cocktails, and personalized menus and drinks for its members." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
