About Midnight Cowboy

Behind an unmarked door on Sixth Street and a buzzer labeled with a Prohibition-era alias sits one of Austin’s smallest and most meticulous cocktail bars. Tufted leather booths, tableside cocktail carts, and rotating themed menus (tarot-inspired drinks, noir-era classics, the occasional existential crisis in glassware) turn the whole room into a kind of immersive late-night ritual. Reservations are essential; the tiny capacity is part of what makes it work.
