East Austin, Austin · bar
A neighborhood bar where the cocktails lean sharp and inventive (think butter tequila ranch water or a “fish and chips” martini with nori and olive oil) but the food is what locks people in for another round. The Irish Chinese spice bag, all waffle fries, five-spice chicken tenders, and fermented chili relish, pulls off a cross-continental bar snack that shouldn’t work but does. Pool table in the back, drinks staying under $13, and a room built for staying longer than intended. Recommended: Spice Bag, Gochujang Buffalo Wings, Fish and Chips Martini
