East Austin, Austin ยท bar
A sprawling East 6th mezcal bar where tequila, sotol, and agave spirits dominate the long counter, with enough depth behind the bar for serious tastings if you ask the right bartender. The massive back patio, lined with taco trucks and picnic tables, makes it easy to settle in for hours, and the location sits just far enough east to avoid most of the chaos crawling up the rest of the strip.
