Bar 508 Mezcalerita

The only times I have been to Bar 508 Mezcalerita has been for SXSW events and yesterday for an Espolon event. From events for Vevo, Comedy Central and Espolon everytime this venue turns into such a unique space. The Vevo event being on my top 5 list of SXSW memories! (Saw Ludacris, Common, Nelly held my hand while he sang hehe) There are different levels to get different view points and indoor and outdoor seating. Some covered and some open air, but mostly covered by trees.If you are looking for a venue to plan your next event this is a very versatile spot to check out.This time around for the Espolon event we spent most of our time inside the little house at the bar with Jewels since Espolon surprisingly was not giving out complimentary beverages. Jewels was awesome and gave us a little history on the semi creepy hands hanging from the ceiling haha she said when the owner bought the place he found all left hands little arms in the attic. Why??? We do not know haha but hey it adds some quirky character and a good story lol

Fabulous first-time mezcal experience! Ean (Ian) was fabulous at explaining the taste and how to start drinking it. I was very appreciative of his enthusiasm and patience.

Cool mezcal bar just off the beaten path of DT by 6th St.They have a good collection of mezcal cocktails, the one with egg white in it was pretty good! I would at least go for this one first!Where it really shined were the tacos, tried all of them and they were each good in their own ways. Didn't have a bad taco in the whole bunch. The shrimp tacos were absolutely amazing, wish I had gotten more of these!Cool vibe being so close to 6th and also down the street from several music venues including Stubbs!

This bar has a lot of class. They serve Mezcal and tell stories about it. What I like about mezcal such as silencio is the smell ... and taste and feel.

Average bar. Did not try the food. Jojo was a very entertaining bartender. Definitely not cheap.

Cutest little bar right by the Holiday Inn as well as some of the other hotels in the area. It's a super low-key place for a late night snack (tacos), unique craft cocktails and very friendly bartender that love their craft!

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!

Jojo took care of us! He put the spice in our spicy mezcal drink. The drinks were amazing and jojo was even better

Don't get discouraged at first look. This place is a gem. Marvin is an amazing bartender and the food was delicious!!!! The meat is slow cooked for a day and everything is made with love. You will not be disappointed.

Came here last weekend for a friend's birthday and really enjoyed the ambiance and service! Martin was our bartender and he was very attentive and friendly. He took some group photos of us too. We enjoyed our time here and then headed to Cheer Up Charlie's. I didn't have a drink so I can't comment on that, but everyone else in our group of 6 enjoyed their margaritas! Thank you, Martin!!!!!
