East Austin, Austin · bar
An East 12th neighborhood bar that’s steadfastly outlasted most of the changes around it without shifting its own pace or personality. The frozen Bee’s Knees is the signature, absinthe drinks reward the curious, and live music fills most nights. A dog-friendly patio and rotating food truck out back keep it firmly rooted in classic East Side energy.
Classic absinthe served with a sugar cube and slow water drip — the curious choice.
Rotating specialty cocktails made with quality spirits — ask the bartender.
The house signature: frozen gin cocktail with honey and lemon, always on the menu.
House mezcal poured from one of East Austin's most respected mezcal selections.
White Castle-inspired mini sliders from the Golden Castle food truck parked out back.
The frozen spin on the classic gin cocktail that has kept regulars coming back since 2014.
