"It’s easy to miss The Tigress Pub when you’re driving past the vintage shops and thrift stores of North Loop. When you do spot it, it’s even easier to dismiss as another casual neighborhood pub. And while it is relaxed and inviting, the cocktails are as good as anything you’d find at someswanky Downtown speakeasythat still thinks the Prohibition Era is going strong. Tigress is small—show up on a weekday, or prepare to get cozy—but you’re getting great drinks and a cute, unpretentious space to enjoy them in." - Nicolai McCrary
"The North Loop bar is one of Austin’s earlier cocktail bars, serving well-made classic and low-ABV cocktails from owner Pam Pritchard and her team. The Fancy Feast — a gin cocktail with Cocchi Americano, lemon, and jasmine-clove syrup — is a nice, light punch. The space is quite small and better suited for a fun date than a group hang, but there are booths, a bar inside, and a small patio outside. Takeout cocktails are still an option here, too." - Erin Russell
"This tiny but cheerful North Loop cocktail bar is a great Sunday date-night spot. Swing by to sip classic martinis and Old Fashioneds, plus creative cocktails, which rotate seasonally, and find a spot in a quiet indoor booth or on the back patios. This bar is open until midnight." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A North Loop cocktail bar is hosting a Friendsgiving event with half‑off wine, free nonalcoholic hot toddies, and a potluck on Wednesday, November 27 from 6 to 10 p.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
"This small North Loop cocktail bar gives new meaning to “attention to detail” when it comes to cocktails and beers. Every pour is precise, every pint perfection. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
