    Du Monde Old-Fashioned

    If you're wandering around East Austin and looking for that perfect mix of chill patio vibes, strong drinks, and a little bit of grit, Lefty's Brick Bar is it. The space itself feels like someone mashed up a cozy dive bar with a backyard hangout -- brick walls, string lights, and an atmosphere that's both unpretentious and inviting. It's the kind of place where you can show up in flip flops or boots and no one bats an eye. The cocktails? Surprisingly solid for a bar that doesn't take itself too seriously. The margaritas come out fast and strong, and they've got frozen options that hit perfectly on a hot Austin night. Beers are cheap, the pours are generous, and the staff keeps the vibe friendly even when it's packed. Food-wise, it's not fussy -- think bar bites that keep you drinking longer. Perfect for sharing if you're posted up outside with friends. Overall: Lefty's Brick Bar feels like Austin before Austin got too shiny. No frills, all fun, and exactly the kind of place you'll want to stumble back into on a Friday night. Ask for Noah!

    Went during October to check out their decorations and it was definitely a fun ambiance! Got their themed cocktails and some food that was all really good but definitely a little overpriced. But it's on 6th so that was to be expected. Not crowded at all and quick service at 7 pm before the night rush.

    This review is solely based on vibes and cocktails. We visited a couple times this winter. The Christmas pop up bar was my favorite visit. The bar was chock full of decorations and holiday cocktails. We ordered several from the menu and they were all tasty and came in cute glasses. I'm glad they didn't skimp on the alcohol or aesthetic because they were very busy. The bar in the front was way busier than the bar in the back upstairs. The upstairs was also covered with a tent because it was rainy and cool. We really enjoyed our time here and got some fun pictures! There is ample seating for groups.

    Frozen margaritas are great. Alcohol is present and the taste is great. $2 off for happy hour, so take it or leave it. 4-6.

    Lefty's is amazinggg for Halloween and they always go all out! Checked out their "shop of horrors" theme this year for Halloween and wasn't disappointed. They had a great drink menu (NA options too!), that tied in well to the theme. They also had some food options here, but recommend the drinks more. We tried a variety, from their version of an espresso martini and even their brat-themed cocktail. Old fashioned was okay, it was too sweet for my liking. They have a lot of seating (bar included), and an outdoor patio out back. Great for hanging with friends. Bartenders were super nice, and answered our questions about the drinks on the menu.

    I really enjoy this bar in October because they deck out with spooky decorations. The music is great and the people that go there are fun. For October they have fun cocktails and I was finally able to try the blood bag one. It was ok. Overly sweet for me but the concept is what made it fun. Theres seating tables and an upstairs area i had never been to before. The only bad thing i will say is they need to get more bartenders because it was packed and took forever to get a drink.

    Halloween drinks!

    Lefty's decorates for Halloween every year and it's always on the list of must-see bars during the holiday season! The drinks are good and the staff are friendly!

    Halloween cocktail

    Came by Halloween weekend - it was decorated, people were dressed up, and there were Halloween themed cocktails. Most of them had some kind of acid which gives me gastritis, but I tried one that looked less acidic. It came in a cool skull glass and looked nice, but it my friend and I couldn't finish our drinks as there was so much acid/lime and was unbalanced.

    Came to Lefty's to check out their Halloween decorations this year. I feel like it was really on point last year compared to this year. But still pretty outstanding. Didn't want to look like a tourist snapping a bunch of pictures. I just took a couple. Everyone was really nice that I spoken to. Drink was good. Didn't stay long cause we were just going from one bar to the next that was decorated. Good job Lefty's. Looked pretty good.

    We really enjoyed stopping by Lefty's for their holiday decor recently. Christmas decor was awesome and great drink list-loved the vegan nog. It's very crowded and a young crowd (everyone looked 25 or under) even when we went around 5 pm. I thought it was very fun and recommend checking it out for the holidays!

    Great place to spend the Halloween season. It was my first time here but they decorate for every Halloween. Plenty of outdoor patio seating.

    Frozen painkiller

    We popped in here while in the area as we were a bit early for a private event at Lazarus down the street. I'm so glad we did because I really loved this spot. It was all decorated for Halloween, with tons of creepy decor absolutely everywhere! I ordered a frozen painkiller and Nate got a canned beer. The painkiller was delicious and perfectly frozen - Austin knows how to make a great frozen cocktail. We had fun people and dog watching and chatting with some other folks at the bar. The bartenders were great, and overall I just felt like this place was super fun and cool. I appreciated that it wasn't super packed yet as I would imagine they get pretty busy on weekends and later at night. I see now they have some delicious sounding food, including cacio e pepe pizza, which I would LOVE to try. I'm bummed we didn't get any food, but that just gives us a reason to come back in the future.

    I recently wandered into Lefty's Brick Bar, and what a spine-tingling experience it was! From the moment I stepped onto the patio, I felt the enchanting chill of Halloween in the air. The ambiance was decked out with flickering lights and cobwebs that set the perfect spooky scene. But the real star of the night? The Super Big Pizza! It arrived at my table like a monstrous apparition--larger than life and steaming with ghostly allure. Topped with an array of hauntingly delicious ingredients, each slice was a delightful mix of flavors that left me howling for more. I swear I heard the pizza calling my name as it emerged from the kitchen! As I savored each bite, I couldn't help but glance around, half-expecting to see some friendly spirits joining in on the fun. The staff, dressed in their Halloween finest, added to the festive atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a monstrous pizza and chilling cocktails such as Morgue-arita 14 Blanco tequila, lime, coconut water, or the Pennywise painkiller 14 rum, pineapple, orange, coconut, nutmeg, Lefty's Brick Bar is the spot! Just be prepared for some ghostly encounters while you're there--because with vibes this good, you might just feel the presence of some spirited patrons from the past! Brilliant Dining and BOO!

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.

If you're coming here definitely do yourself the favor and Uber as parking is incredibly difficult to find there. Getting in is very quick and efficient and once you're in you're greeted by live music and a fun open space to get drinks and hang out with friends. There are multiple different places to get drinks from which is nice as you can choose how long you would like to wait in a line. Drinks are not unreasonably priced and they were good as well. The ability to sit throughout the area, get up and dance, or just listen to music makes this a great spot to stay entertained for a while. We came when there was an event being put on by Zyn where they were giving out free drinks to nicotine users which was funny because why not get you hooked on nicotine AND alcohol. But seriously, there are typically food trucks and more things going on here but the Zyn trucks took up those spots which was a bit of a letdown but we're assuming that's just a one off event. Between a good band, decent drinks, and a good amount of seating options, this is a good spot to sit down with some friends and just vibe out for the night. We'd give it a recommendation if you're looking for something fun but not too much fun on a night on East 6th.

I got to say that some happy hour prices were totally reasonable. Not boozy libations... but ok. However, $17 for a small cocktail? Joking right? Prices were from $5-$17 for everything from draught, premixed, and mixed but I feel like for that price point you are competing with bars that can be more creative with their drinks for a few bucks more. Is it worth a go? Sure! Recommend. Looking for basic cocktails at a reasonable price point- maybe. However they do focus on Mescal themed drinks if that's your thing so it's a bit of a niche.

In addition to oysters, there are awesome items like fingerling potatoes in Caesar dip, pasta sopresina with mussels, chicken wings, and a burger on the happy hour menu. I was really impressed with everything, especially the pasta. We ordered a side of foccacia to soak up all the sauce, it was divine! I started with La Brasa for my drink - which was a spicy tequila based cocktail with mango. I also got an Aperol spritz which was the size of my head, I loved it! We finished happy hour with a sweet treat that our local expert said we MUST try - the lasagna mille-feuille. This is a layered lasanga-inspired dessert with cream, crispy pastry, and candied pecan. For being so rich in flavor, this dish was light and airy and the perfect way to end our happy hour. The service here was friendly, and the place was packed! We made it for happy hour and left while live jazz was just starting. While it was a dreary day on our visit, I could definitely see myself having cocktails and oysters on the patio if it was a sunny day - it's so cute out there! While we didn't drive since we were traveling - there is a lot at the restaurant which is on the small side, and a parking garage across the street.
