Downtown Austin, Austin · bar
The espresso martini arrives under a cap of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cold foam, and Brushfire stacks mezcal with sage, jalapeño, grapefruit and clarified milk, so the cocktail list is clearly where the attention went. Revenge keeps the room dark and a little glam without tipping into nightclub, with a patio for good weather and DJs running late on weekends. Bartender-owned, no bottle service, no LED wall, and an open grudge against Austin nightlife turning into Las Vegas.
