In Plain Sight

A small space with perfectly crafted cocktails. In Plain Sight is the brighter little sister of Here Nor There. I arrived shortly after they opened and was able to easily snag a spot within. Our bartender was very knowledgeable and accommodating when I realized my drink was a bit spicy for my taste. I'll absolutely be a returning customer!Fun fact: the windows are trippy when you look towards the street!

This bar is fun! I've known about it a long time but just never made the effort to get to it until recently. I'd heard it's small, that is accurate - it is literally like 10 chairs lining the bar, and that's it. No tables. The bartender (Angela) was super sweet and helpful when I came by which was like a Thurs right at opening around 5p. She gave me a rec for the A La Vista cocktail being more floral, which it was! Really enjoyed it. It's a bit pricey but you're paying for ambiance too - the place is right on the corner of a busy intersection and has fun rainbow lights inside. True to speakeasy form, it's very not exciting from outside, there's not even an entrance sign, it's just a white door on that corner. Overall - it's a great little date spot vibe if that's what you're looking for. Angela was awesome, and the intimate vibe of the place makes it unique compared to other spots! They change out their menu so lots to try as well. :)

In Plain Sight is a hidden gem in the heart of downtown, perfect for a cozy and unforgettable date night! The intimate atmosphere of this small, stylish bar sets the stage for a memorable evening, making every sip feel like a personal experience. The cocktails? Absolutely phenomenal--crafted with precision and tailored to your taste by an incredibly attentive and knowledgeable staff. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for something new, they'll guide you to the perfect drink. If you're craving a spot with charm, character, and top-tier drinks, this is it!

Sleek. Chic. Upscale. Cozy.That is what immediately comes to mind when I think of In Plain Sight as you walk through their doors. A sister bar to Here Nor There, this is the cool cousin who you wished talked to you at the holiday get-togethers but you can't help but want to hang out with. Surprising enough, once you're here at the bar you soon realize just how laid back this place is. Your shoulders drop and you feel like you're at your friends. The drink menu is sophisticated but easy to ingest. No need for a reservation but you have to find an open seat. That is the biggest caveat.Loved my drinks and the ice pieces they use are so freaking cool with a rose built into the ice cube. You absolutely must make it a point to grab a drink here.

Sister bar to Here Nor There and right around the corner. I love how opposite the two bars are in design - HNT is dimly lit and moody, IPS is bright and has colorful lighting. Limited seating inside makes for a more intimate experience. Cocktails are great and it was nice to be able to talk with the bartender and watch them make the drinks.

Great drinks and atmosphere just like HNT. great service and recommendations from the staff. Would def go back. Be aware it is a very small space

IPS is my go to place for cocktails. If you are in Austin, you can have the perfect evening by starting here go to Here Nor There for round 2. The owners and staff are top notch here with each employee being trained to not only make items on the menu but also make some delicious drinks off the menu. Take a date here or go out with friends... you can't go wrong with the great drinks and the fun lights that add to the ambiance. You have to try the Poppy Lou Paloma, A La Vista, and finish off with the Dublin Drop. This is the trifecta combo and will give you a great evening. This place has continued to exceed expectations. If you are into speakeasies at all, you have to come to this place. Don't worry, there are no reservations.

Stopped by on a Friday night and was able to grab 3 spots by the window. In Plain Sight is a very small cocktail bar with first come, first serve flow! There are about 8 seats at the bar and they try to squeeze 6 more behind them. If it looks packed, I recommend checking again in 10-15 minutes. The bar focuses on spritzers and aperitifs, so it's perfect for a pre-dinner drink. I really enjoyed the Kahlo Americano and Southern Pearl. My friend ordered Open Sesame, and it was a strange combination. I recommend trying the other fruity drinks.Overall the staff is super friendly and willing to find the right drink for you!

Super small and intimate bar with great drinks. I expected nothing less since it's a sister bar to Here Nor There! However this is more of a come & go experience or a spot for pre-drinks Cocktails were great, not super complex but with thoughtful combinations of flavors. We ordered the Southern Pearl (gin, tea blend, egg white) and Caribbean Dream (rum, cognac, coconut). Our bartender was friendly and we really enjoyed our time!

I loved this place! It was my first time, and the vibes were incredible. The intimate setting, thanks to the limited space, made it feel even more special. The color palette drinks were amazing--each one really tasted like the color it represented! It fills up quickly, and they don't take reservations (at least I haven't found a way to), so plan ahead. 10/10, I'll definitely be back!
