Seven Spirits is my favorite mezcal bar in Austin! I come here at least once a month and always have a good experience catching up with their amazing bartender Chance.
They have delicious carne asada and al pastor tacos, which is not surprising as this business is from the makers of Takoba. They also have unique appetizers like guacamole with grasshoppers, cactus fries, and ricotta empanadas.
The name of the bar comes from the seven spirits (liquors) of Mexico: tequila, mezcal, sotol, pox, bacanora, raicilla, and charanda. They have cocktails that highlight each of the spirits, mezcal tastings, beers (Mexican and local favorites like Electric Jellyfish), and mocktails that aren’t just juice! My favorite cocktails are the Monkey Business and the Meztik, though I’ve tried them all and have yet to have a bad one. Their frozens are also amazing on a hot day!
They play a good mix of Mexican rock, cumbias, reguetón, and American music. Best of all, they just kicked off their Latin Nights on Thursdays with great drink specials. On other nights, they have both a regular and late night happy hour.
They have a dimly lit interior, which is perfect for date night, as well as an outdoor patio with string lights. Regardless of where you sit, the ambiance is warm and inviting.
100% recommend this mezcal bar over others in town that can’t even speak to what they’re serving.
