    Beet cocktail
    Mia B.

    I love the vibes here. The service is great, and there are different areas like the patio and front yard so it never feels too crowded. The cocktails are reasonably priced too- I got the one with beet juice. I like the DJs they book here, it doesn't get busy till like 10 so you should prepare to be out late, but that's in general for night life here.

    Super fun bar on the east side. They had a great DJ playing, drinks flowing nicely and I appreciated the cute lil stand for my drink when I went potty ha can't wait to come back!

    It's so fun here like all of the time. Great, great, great drinks. Great crowd. Great staff. This is a place I like to show friends when they're visiting. Reasonable pricing too.

    High Noon is an absolute vibe, especially if you love a bar with spacious patios to kick back and relax. I had the SHADOWFAX (a frozen blend of Skyy Vodka, Rumchata, and winter spices), and it was so creamy and delicious--definitely the perfect cozy cocktail. Lately, I've been sampling my boyfriend's martinis to see if I'll finally find one I love, and let me tell you... High Noon's Dirty Martini is hands down the best I've had so far. I kept sipping his, and he literally had to order another one! If you're looking for great drinks and a chill atmosphere, High Noon is where it's at.

    The staff was great and the overall feel of the bar was awesome. Great music was playing at the time..

    Travis from white horse sent me here, their sister bar, was just me and the GM's of both places, Mandy bartending, such nice people, I'll describe it as I said to Mandy it makes me feel like I'm in an austin powers movie. Great decor, great vibe, great staff. Came here on a Monday with sunlight out, would imagine it's even cooler on weekends. Will be one of my first stops when I come back. Recommended me some great places to check out as well.

    Was walking distance from our Airbnb. Chill spot, wait staff was nice when they eventually asked us for our order. Talked a lot with each other but they had just opened. Liked the drinks and would try again possibly in the future. The inside was decorated for Halloween which was festive.

    I came for the East Side Kings and fell in love with the bathroom! Women, come hold Council in here! It's so beautiful and spacious, and the perfect place for gossip! I had a Rambler so I can't speak to the drinks, but the patio was nice to sit on.

    The decor of this place is so beautiful and funky at the same time. I came here on a week day with a friend and it was empty. A few parking spots available in the back and a food truck out front! The bartender whipped up some awesome drinks. Lovely little spot on the east side--it is pricey though!

    Fun vibes and friendly bartender. I went earlier in the afternoon, so it was quiet and relaxing.

    Not as cool as it seems on Insta. Based on all of the hype on social media, I was given the impression there was more western vibes going on at the bar than what was presented. It's still a cool bar, there's fun lighting, it's well maintained, sectioned off for social distancing, and there's an outdoor area (which will probably be much more enjoyable when it's warmer out). The drinks weren't bar - pretty much on par with most other joints that serve a decent mixed drinks, or drink on the rocks. Recommend at least checking it out, and if you get bored, there's plenty of other places nearby!

    First time at High Noon last night to see the San Gabriel residency with Europa Boys opening up. First off, awesome that they're doing live music here with no cover. The show was great. I started with a very interesting cocktail to start... with beet juice in it! Switched to beer as it was too many strange flavors for me, but nice to switch it up and not just offer the standard cocktails. Good service, good layout, I really liked the joint!

    We absolutely love High Noon! First things first, they allow pups inside and even provide treats! Having somewhere to bring our boys during the summer is especially important for us. Now into the other stuff! They have an absolutely amazing bar selection, I mean, beyond what's normal for a bar! They have superb mezcal drinks and a really great HH!! The seating inside is dark and cozy, and there's also a large back yard, as well as seating out front and around the front porch! Now that they have (IMO) one of the best food trucks in town, Thai Kuhn, outside, this place can't be beat!! Parking can be a bit tricky as they do only have a couple of dedicated spots behind the building. The staff has always been very friendly, and attentive! They garnish each drink with beautiful dried fruits and flowers, taking care with each one. I highly recommend High Noon, and definitely check out their bathroom for some cool pictures, and also be sure to check out the events they host!

College me would have lived here !!

    I went to Whisler's and had one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had…read more I had one drink. I was completely sober for all intents and purposes. The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

Very impressed with the drinks and I enjoyed the inspiration of Japanese liquor and design. Our bartender was so attentive and friendly. He made us shots and it was the best thing I've ever had. I been dreaming of the shot everyday. I recommend this place to everyone now. It's dark, it's quiet, it's cool, it's THAT bar. I cannot wait to come back again and again and again. We aren't locals. Not even close. We drove 9 hours. 10/10 will be back

    My husband and I went to Trona recently for my birthday. I'd seen photos and promotion (by local…read moreinfluencers) and thought it looked like a cool spot with a funky vibe. Being that we live south, it's rare we ever venture out to the east side so I was excited to try it. We had a 6pm reservation on a Wednesday and were promptly seated at a table. We're big fans of sitting at the bar if available, so we asked to switch and it was no problem. The main reason we came to Trona was due to a pop-up happening by Foodie + Tina. Excellent handrolls, crudo and even the chicory salad was amazing. The cocktails we tried were new to the menu as of this week and came with Christmas flair. They were good but not mind-blowing. The bartenders were super nice and easy to talk to. It was really dark which is normal for a speakeasy but as another reviewer suggested, makes it difficult to read the menu. One thing I noticed was they were burning white copal and it took me immediately to Tulum, MX - smells so good! Parking was easy, in an alley nearby. It might be helpful for customers if they had signage in/near the parking lot - we were unsure if we were in the right spot initially.

The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed, and easy to settle into whether you're there for a quick drink or hanging out for the night. The drinks are consistently great, and they also have really solid weekday food specials. The sliders and tots are definitely the go-to items on the menu and always hit the spot after a few drinks. One thing I especially appreciate is how much effort they put into the themed décor during Christmas and Halloween. It really adds personality to the space and makes coming back during the holidays feel fun and memorable every year. Just an overall great neighborhood bar with good vibes and a lot of character.

As you may have…read morenoted from my previous review, I'd come here twice a year when visiting from the east coast. One of my stipulations for relocation was to be within walking distance of my beloved Nickel City. Guess what? I am! Less than a five-minute walk. I love this place so much. It's not always about drinking. In fact, quite often I'll do mocktails, water, or soda. It's about community and friendship. The vibe at NC can't fully be expressed in words. It has to be experienced. The staff treat locals and tourists like friends. And, if you're lucky enough, you actually become friends. They're like a family. Same can be said about patrons, whether regulars, sometimers, or tourists, everyone feels the love. Everyone just gets it! They have some of the best cocktails around. The frozen Irish coffee is incredible. Espresso martinis on tap? Yes, please! And if you want the best bar/comfort food ever then order from their food truck, Delray Cafe. Crinkle cut fries A+ Smashburgers A+ Hot Dogs A+ Grilled Cheese A+ Pizza Logs A+ Tater Tots A+ Everything on the menu A+ Be sure to give the gang in the kitchen (food truck) some love! They're putting out the real deal. Oh and let's not forget Steak Night! Much love to my fave neighbor, Nickel City!

I arrived a bit earlier and it was confusing how to get into the building. I first went to the door closest to the Busy Signal sign and it was locked. I walked into the bar next to it, Victory East, and told the bartender I was waiting for Busy Signal to open, but he didn't tell me that the entrance was through their bar so my friends and I sat there for a while before realizing we could walk in and grab a seat inside the music location. Other than the confusion at first, we found the venue to be cute and nicely decorated. The bartender came up to our table to take our order. We had a nice view of the band (except for one pole in the view path) and chatted with the musicians during their break. One of my friends had met one of the guitar players before which is why we had even heard of this venue! A big plus was there was relatively easy and free nearby street parking!

At the least you have someone on the weekend. We literally walked straight in--no questions, no acknowledgement, just straight to the back. Two, I came on Saturday and there were two DJs who were obviously having a lot of fun, which is good however, they do have the tendency to take you high and immediately low. For example, they would play a Sexxy Redd song and immediately Frank Ocean or even slower, Keith Sweat--the choices didn't make sense a lot of the time. WOMEN WHO COME TO DANCE don't like this, it really messes up the flow. I will say this is one of the few places that black people gather IN the city, so there's that. The bathroom is also disgusting but what can you expect when there's only TWO STALLS IN TOTAL, meaning there's no separate stalls for men or women. Also, these are the same two stalls that you share with restaurant goers so it can get busy.
