Saturday, October 10, 2026, 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM · Modern Bar, Rainey Street, Austin
Modern Bar hosts DJ Leslie Nava on Friday and Juicy Giuseppe on Saturday, 9pm to 1am, as an after-party for ACL Weekend Two.
Every cocktail pushes into experimental territory at a $20 price point, where drinks like a Penthouse Paloma with tomato water and milk chips or a Golden Hour Martini finished with bergamot caviar feel more like tasting-menu courses than bar orders. A neon-lit backroom with DJs splits off from a more restrained front lounge, creating two distinct moods under one roof. The rotating menu quietly redefines what a high-volume Rainey Street bar can actually execute.
Earl Grey-infused tequila with key lime sherbet air and aloe — tropical and weird in the best way
Irish whiskey Manhattan with shiitake butter, PX sherry, and cherry cordial.
Tequila with tomato water, guava sherbet, strawberry aperitif, milk chip garnish.
Olive oil gin, lacto-fermented peach, apricot brandy, bergamot caviar.
