5420 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX 78751
"Golden Horn is a cocktail bar from the team behind legendary dive bar Barfly’s. It also happens to be located one floor below it, on the ground level near Airport Boulevard. The space is large and cozy, with lots of wood paneling and a long bar featuring a handful of signature and draft cocktails, all generally priced around $10. There’s also a kitchen inside—called Yellow Ranger—serving Chinese-American dishes. We visited Golden Horn and added it to the Bar Hit List. " - nicolai mccrary
"Located one floor below the legendary dive bar Barfly’s (and from the same owners), The Golden Horn is a casual, cozy North Loop cocktail spot. It’s warm and inviting, with lots of comfy booths lined with wood paneling, vintage beer signs that set the scene, and a soundtrack of psych rock and indie pop that never gets too loud. This is a place to hang out, not to see and be seen. And it feels like Happy Hour all the time, with $4 wells and cocktails priced around $10 (plus, a real Happy Hour with further discounts)." - nicolai mccrary
"One floor below the legendary dive bar Barfly’s (and from the same owners), The Golden Horn is a casual cocktail bar set in a cozy space. It’s warm and inviting, with lots of comfy booths lined with wood paneling, and vintage beer signs that set the scene to a soundtrack of psych rock and indie surf pop. This is a place to hang out, not to see and be seen. And it’s Happy Hour all the time here, with cocktails priced around $10 and well drinks for just $4 (plus, a real Happy Hour with even further discounts). And when you inevitably get hungry after a couple of mezcal palomas, you can also get some great crab rangoons and egg rolls from the kitchen inside—called Yellow Ranger—serving Chinese-American dishes.

"And then from the team behind upstairs hella dive bar Barfly’s comes this also-easygoing neighborhood bar in North Loop, also since April. The space is comfortable, the cocktails are straightforward and good — think draft Old Fashioneds, not-too-dry martinis, and that iconic frozen Orange Whip (yes, it’s the same one from one of its sibling bars, the Violet Crown). Also the food is great — a really fun American Chinese menu from on-site restaurant Yellow Ranger. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
