Affordable drinks, decent cocktails. Wouldn't go here for a fancy cocktail. Food truck in yard is great. Good atmosphere.
Hands down, my absolute favorite patio in Austin besides my own. A loose and happy environment, flavored by the gloriously ever-weird Vortex Theater. Say hi and I'll buy you a drink.
My partner and I went to the Butterfly Bar last night for a next day off from work cocktail. We had a wonderful experience. The patio atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The drinks were delicious and our bartender Regan went the extra *THREE* miles to explain the nitty-gritty details of our cocktails. Easygoing atmosphere, super informed bartender - yes, a bit pricey (what else is new nowadays) - so I highly recommend!
What a gem. Great environment and though the bar service can be slow, the pasta place here is fan-freaking-tastic! Had live music when we were there on Sunday at 7 and the two different bands really added to the ambiance. Check this place out for an enjoyable evening out in Austin.
Cute bar, great patio for when the weather is nice. The inside is small - like it's very much meant to be a location that you sit outside. Plus there are a few property cats that rule the roost.
The line service while waiting to order food was something i never expected. Two different employees greeted us and offered knowledgeable discussion about the entire menu. They were polite, professional, and genuine in their opinions. Excellent bruschetta and garlic toast. And the amazing Reilly Downes came to town from Chicago to perform some sad cowgirl music for us. I was quite impressed with the atmosphere of the place. I hate bars, but I would go back to this place time and again if that experience was representative of what can always be expected.
Wonderful spot for live music, tasty itallian food, nice selection of bottle/can beer and wine (no taps), and great atmosphere. They also have a theater on site for performances
No atmosphere. The bar was brightly lit and since no one was really hanging out inside, just ordering drinks for patrizis, there was just a long line for the bar. The bartenders seemed peeved to be there and did a poor job of directing the patrons. The whole experience was weird.
A very pleasantly surprising find. After pulling around the fence, where my GPS had pinpointed it, basically the backyard I was wondering "is this... hey looks like the back of somebody's house. A private party!" I thought. Not private at allAnyone and everyone is welcome.When I swung around to the parking lot which is very paved and very clean, signage a little bit art deco, a little bit commercial, yet aged enough so it does not look sterile...It was like I found an Austin retreat I used to search for in the dawn of this millennium.A magical little wave of established oaks, fresh beer, a few curious cats were responsible, I'm sure, for all of it. They acted as though they owned the place, anyway.The cityscape dissapeared. I was immersed in a rustic inverted chateau. The decor transmuted as though someone had experienced the deep realms of spiritualism using only natural ingredients, they had remembered that art in its purest form has the characteristics that warms the heart.The warmth of smiling eyes was abundant as the heat from the fire pits. An artist, indistinguishable as child or adult, had lent graffiti a space where it spread and became iconI smiled. I smiled like I had not smiled in years, I can feel the muscle stretch with that old familiar joy and happiness. A place of comfort. A place where anything could happen, but it could become a haunt.Here were little snippets of The Enchanted Forest, There, a section of the universe carved and transplanted from the Spider House. The joyous sound of children being children and parents being parents yet remembering their childhood together with everybody, and everyone enjoying a show outside, was Freddie's reborn? A band. great food.You'll never be able to tell from the streets surrounding it. The fence you can't see over, yet the energy, the aura of the place scales upward into the sky like a rainbow that doesn't end.There's abundant seating that could never be cramped, no cliques would form because everyone belongs to the same group.Inside is like a compacted (spotlights) Dog and Duck, with a bar reminiscent of Lovejoy's. And to the right, for some strange reason Ester's Follies echoed in my mind, back when actors would proposition the streetwalkers on 6th during the barricade hours order to draw paying customers into their Boudoir.
Very interesting place. I’ve gone here to play trivia and i loved the set up. I also like how they had a voting center during 2020 elections. Food is good, atmosphere is great.
