This is a great venue with a terrific bar. The venue is open, allowing large seating. It's also…read morebeautiful. Additionally, it is well protected from street noise. The bar is wonderfully dark, chill, and has a stage with live music. The seating is comfortable as well: couches and soft chairs. The bartender we interacted with was awesome! He was very chill. For some reason the bar has an espresso machine (we couldn't get one that night, so we were confused as to its presence.) It has live music, but unfortunately I didn't hang around to enjoy it.

Looking for fun on 6th Street we decided to stop at Austin Garden & Studio and were not…read moredisappointed. 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.

My friend suggested trying Latchkey, so off we went. This place was vibe but with popular music…read more It had deceptive looking space as well. You walked in turned right and then left while making your way to the back of the bar. Folks were dancing in this open spaced dance hall. A DJ was spinning tunes in lighted enclosure...almost like a home porch. In fact, there several women literally dancing on a table. Interestingly, one may man was dancing by himself with a pole as his dance partner. Perhaps he had too much to drink at this point. We stayed there for a short while and we were off to another one of my friend's favorite places. She ran into a couple of folks she knew while we were at Latchkey. So we chatted for a bit. This place is a whole vibe and then some.

I came into Latchkey early in the evening with a friend and I couldn't figure out why, in just a…read morefew hours, there's reportedly a line out the door. It seems like a great bar, but there isn't much going on. I like its signage and logo plus the decor inside is pretty sick, but the place to me really just didn't seem special. I'll have to come here on a busy night and hang to see if I understand the hype. For now, it's just another fun bar on East Sixth. RIYL: good branding

The bartenders were really friendly and offered different drink options, which always makes the experience better. I had an espresso martini and it was delicious. It's a nice spot to grab a drink, relax and actually have a conversation. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to so I can try more drinks.

Ohhh and the bathrooms soo clean and cute loved the art in there. Def now on my normal spots list.

TLDR: Some pricey happy hour cocktails with great food…read more Went today (Wednesday) for happy hour and I gotta say, the Carne Asada tacos are incredible. The service was great, albeit there wasn't a big crowd. Everything came out quick and the staff were super attentive. The music was fun and vibes were great! 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. Comparing this place to legends like Roosevelt room isn't fair- but at least RR are heavy pourers! I left far from boozy which was fine for a weekday. IMO- Charge less for cocktails on happy hour. But I understand the $$$ for the location is extreme but I don't feel these are happy hour prices for drinks. Food- absolutely.

When visiting Austin recently, my colleague suggested this spot for happy hour as it it's one of…read moreher faves. I can see why - Casa Bianca is such a vibe! First of all - I am a happy hour girlie - I love a deal on a cocktail and a snack. Happy our is daily from 4 - 6 pm and it features $1 oysters, select $10 cocktails, and $2 off wines by the glass. 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. Seems like a popular spot and I would definitely be a regular if I lived in the city!

We did get there for the happy hour for the oysters, which is a great deal I will say that. We got a seat at the bar and I were waiter was very nice and knew what to recommend. The only reason I'm giving this place three stars is because to me the food was OK now I will say the oysters were divine and a great happy hour prize so I would definitely come back just for that. The crispy potatoes to me were nothing special. They were good, but that's it. The pasta my friend got was sorry to say this tasted like hamburger helper to me and then I got the pork belly and same thing. Nothing special it was just pork belly.
