REALLY great, really inventive drinks. The bar menu for food is pretty great too. The mezcal-topped Queso flammedo was really tasty and special. The cocktails are awesome. They have a good happy hour. Natalie, the bartender is awesome. She'll make you feel right at home!

Coming to back to write a review since I came across my photos from when I was in Austin a few weeks ago. We thought it looked cool from outside, so we walked in. It felt kind of weird walking up because it looks like you're walking into someone's yard and into their house. I slowly opened the door just in case I was! It was a chilly week in Austin (sadly for us). Upon entry, we were greeted with warmth that felt like that from a fireplace. It was so cozy! The decor is all wood and tall chairs. Super chill vibe. The bartenders were really friendly and gave us some suggestions for our time in Austin, which turned out to be great advice!
I don't recall which margarita I had, but it was spicy and delicious. My friends enjoyed their drinks as well. If I found myself back in Austin, I would definitely visit again. I would love to spend some time on that beautiful patio! -

Bar was still in soft opening phase - went on Sunday afternoon they had loud pop music from every speaker on every level of the patio. We had a group who wanted to actually talk to one another (7) so would have liked one quieter area esp as many patios were empty due to heat. Bar attendant (young woman) knew nothing about mezcals...why would she not be rained for a bar with over 30 mezcals?? Thankfully manager (Dan?? Not sure) knew his stuff.
I hope it improves as it had potential and multi-level patio idea was cool as was location. -

This place is super cool! Really great drinks and the food looked good and will be returning to try out the food. Cool ambiance and vibes! Service was good too. Cant remember the girls name but she made several fantastic recommendations and we loved everything we tried. Will be returning

Glad we stumbled upon this place! My colleagues and I checked out Bar 508 for happy hour recently since we were going to dinner at Stubbs later in the night and this was right across the street. At 5:15pm we had the place to ourselves, which was surprising given the great space and atmosphere. The bartender talked to us for quite a while and gave us the lowdown on all the drinks, and let us sample a couple of the specialty cocktails on tap. I was very pleased with both of the happy hour cocktails I tried! Normal, non-HH prices seemed pricey (+$10), so HH drinks were a steal.
