    if you’re an austin transplant and missing the vibe, this is a great place to visit.

    Cocktails are good, but service is a bit full of themselves. Draws a pretentious crowd; start the night here for the flavor, but def end elsewhere.

    The booze-free mocktails can easily become boozeful cocktails if you ask.

    The Gun Metal Blue is not girly. At all. Actually, it's quite good.

    Shockingly expensive with $20 cocktails but good for large groups if you’re looking for something in the area (10-15 minute walk to MSG).

    Drinks are decent but a little touristy. If for some reason you find yourself over here, a fine option, but don't go out of your way.
