Devil May Care

What a great night-spot if you're into Christmas themed bars. Devil May Care turns into Devil May Christmas during the holiday season of the year and the decor and the drinks that come with it are top notch. Service was great, despite how busy the night was and we rarely had to wait very long for anything. I would recommend making reservations for this spot otherwise you'll be standing in a huge crowd with others at the bar.

The bar tenders and servers are always lovely. Seating can be difficult at times. The night club scene is in full swing by 9pm, but if you go early (still recommend reservations) you can sit down and enjoy a lounge setting. The food is always SO good!

I've been to Devil May Care about five times, and that's a lot for a non-local. Meaning... I really like it there. Especially now that they have new owners/management and a super-friendly and engaging staff - and that's rare for a bougie-esque craft cocktail bar. They have happy hour daily 5-6:30pm with half-bottles of wine and $7 mini-tinis. I also like that they have live music (jazz and cumbia bands) on occassion...

Everything here was so delicious!! We had a big group and they sat us right away for happy hour since we were one of the first groups there. Our waitress was nice and the drinks were good too. They have a good happy hour options and prices. Definitely check this place out! It's cool inside too.

Cool, upscale ambiance. Food was great, the lamb meatballs were my favorite! This is a great place to order a bunch of stuff to share. We made a reservation for my friend's birthday and they gave us a central spot with a birthday shot, our server was super helpful with portions, too.

Absolutely loved the drinks here. I think ours was called Hellfire, wow it was delicious. And the baba ganoush was one of the best I have ever had. I also loved the presentation of the tartar although I didn't try it but my friend seemed to enjoy it. I would definitely come back.

Austin's best kept secret happy hour is here. Not only does it run late (until 6:30pm,) but the menu is huge and absolutely scrumptious. The burger and fries were phenomenal, and the cocktails were creative and well made. The roof ambience was ny chic and the servers were also super attentive and made sure to check on us frequently. My new fav happy hour in town hands down!!!

We've been to this location when it's been a few other restaurants and none of them were solid enough to stick around. This might have a chance because it's not really going for a traditional "restaurant" vibe but more of a cocktail joint that serves food til 10 and turns into a club at that point. Our waitress was really attentive and she mentioned she's new, so if you find your waitress has to double check on a few details...be patient! We ordered our paper planes off menu (the cocktail choices looked a little on the sweet side) and they were stellar. We then ordered the Mezza Platter, meatballs, and shrimp cocktail and the platter and meatballs were honestly fantastic and having lived overseas with real Mediterranean food, my husband is kinda picky on his hummus! We did also order a round of the margaritas on draft and as long as you're prepared for tamarind and mezcal, which we love, it's a really solid draft cocktail. I'd definitely say we'll be back with a small group to catch the later-night vibe on a weekend!

For a spot that gives off "club vibes", we were pleasantly impressed by the intimate environment with some tasty menu items that hit the spot. A pleasant surprise to learn about the Saturday Happy Hour too! 50% bottle of wine and $2 East Coast oysters. Would definitely order the whipped feta as a starter and the lamb lollipops. Great juiciness, textures, and use of herbs and garnishes. The lamb lollipops were served with a salsa verde, but honestly, the lamb was so well cooked you really don't need sauce. The falafel was served with a muhammara and YUM. For a table of two, I'd suggest serving 4 lollipops. I understand the "odd number" rule, but it was kind of hard to share the third lollipop between two, when the lollipops are small to begin with. Not quite sure why female servers seem to have a mandatory dress code of short and tight black dresses (reminds me of Posh Spice lol)...In fact, it felt awkward watching the majority of them uncomfortably bend down with their heels to serve us our meals and simply pour water in our glasses. Part of me felt bad and it did mix with the impression of our visit. We do look forward to visiting again, trying some of the larger entrees, maybe this time sitting at the bar.

The ambiance is sexy and sophisticated. The service is efficient and friendly! The food is delicious! The oysters are a must!
