Milonga Room

Stop by the Cozy and Fun Milonga Room Behind Bueno Aires CafeMilonga Room is a delightful hidden gem! Prior reservations are needed, but it's worth planning ahead. We came here after dinner and loved the cozy, fun environment. The drink menu is as vibrant as the atmosphere, with standout options like the Palermo, the Francesca, and Velvet Underground.If you're visiting on a weekend, consider taking a rideshare, as street parking on E6th can be tough--though not impossible. We stayed for a couple of drinks before moving on, and it was the perfect stopover for a night of bar-hopping. Milonga Room is a must-visit for a unique and delicious experience!

Truly some of the best cocktails we've had in town! We are not huge gin drinkers either but I got the Francesca cocktail and my fiancée got the milonga daiquiri. The Francesca was a lavender and elderflower gin cocktail with an egg and whipped cream top and it was truly delicious - I could have 5 of them!! Truly a girls dream cocktail if you're looking for something floral and sweet. The milonga daiquiri was so smooth and a great option for those looking for something a little stronger. The inside is a bit on the smaller end (maybe 6/7 tables and 3/4 seats at the bar) and they do make reservations too in case you want to be sure to snag a seat! We walked in on a Thursday night around 8 pm and were able to get seated but soon after, it was almost completely full. Won't lie the cocktails are on the higher end, expect to spend around $18 a drink or more but we left happy and satisfied with our choices and drinks. Service was great as well - quick to get our order in and check as well.

Visited the Milonga Room after dinner at Buenos Aires and I absolutely loved the speakeasy vibes!! You have to go around to the parking lot in the back of Buenos Aires and find the door with a doorbell, then ring it and wait to be invited in. It was so cozy and the room was very small and intimate. The cocktail selections were so unique and I definitely want to go back and try the 3 or 4 specialty cocktail samplers we saw someone order! The bartender was very accommodating and even went upstairs for us to pour us glasses of wine that only Buenos had. Such a great date night spot!

Mix lavish, creative, moody and you have the Milonga room!Lush velvet, art deco, gorg details, and inventive cocktails make up this amaro-centered speakeasy tucked underneath an Argentinian cafe. Ring the doorbell of a red door to enter You'll find South American inspired cocktails such as carajillo with a twist, cocktails with mole bitters, and of course -- several with amaro or fernet, beloved in ArgentinaMy favorites were the egg-white Francesca and the carajillo, or South American espresso martini. Drinks are on the pricier side (quite a few over $20)Tapas are the perfect accompaniment, pair with a cheese board or empanadas made in Buenos Aires Cafe upstairs. We loved the empanadas especially the carne picante (spicy beef) empanada that came with a flavorful chimichurri Overall a great time and gorgeous speakeasy setting!

Awesome intimate cocktail bar/speakeasy. Decor and ambience were perfect for a night out with friends. Service was great and knowledgeable about the full menu. Really enjoyed the drinks- very unique and artistic. Definitely make reservations as there is such limited space!

Milonga Room is an intimate and artsy lounge with the best cocktails on East 6th. This speakeasy under Buenos Aires Cafe makes you feel like you're in a stylish 1940s Argentinian living room, it's an excellent romantic date spot or place to grab drinks post dinner. The drinks are truly an art at Milonga Room- we were blown away by the incredible taste of the cocktails and unique balance of flavors. Additionally, the bartenders were super friendly and knowledgeable, and they went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our experience (shoutout to Andrew!) My absolute favorite was the The Francessa, a delicate lavender cream cocktail with a beautiful hand crafted aesthetic. After just one sip I added Milonga Room to my list of best cocktails in Austin! We also enjoyed the Palermo (light and refreshing) and their spin on an espresso martini, the Carajillo Del Alma.Last but not least, one of the best parts of the Milonga Room is you can order empanadas and light bites from the restaurant above! Who knew cocktails paired so well with chimichurri.

The bartenders are so amazing and accommodating! Not to mention wildly handsome. This is a magical place. If you're flying solo, on a date, or showing some friends around town... this is the spot.No joke.The cocktails are next level.But definitely make reservations if you're pulling in on the weekend!

This is one of my favorite speakeasies in Austin. It's a really cosy, cute, intimate spot - perfect for a date. My favorites were the Velvet Underground and the Brujeria (it looked fun so we wanted to try - thought it would just be gimmicky with the fire, but it had excellent sweet and almost savory flavor as well). They are about to release a new cocktail menu, we previewed one of the drinks (a gin sour French 75 inspired drink). It was pretty smooth and lemony as well. Highly recommend a reservation, but if you go right when they open, you might be able to walk in as well. I have done this a few times.

Very cool and romantic lil speakeasy! Just what we were seeking. Small, seats maybe 30 max, nestled below Brazilian cafe behind an unmarked back door and accessed via a voluminous red velvet curtain....ahhh! Sweetly enthusiastic server and talented bartendress took good care of us. Ambiance and music fit well. Only complaint would be that our seats by the door were too brightly lit, but I guess they don't want people stumbling in! Aim for a darker & more private back corner, if you get a choice. We tried: sleepy hollow*, velvet underground*, brujeria, carajillo del alma* (will try to emulate at home!)*=our faves

Vibey speakeasy spot behind Buenos Aires Cafe-- walked by on a Friday evening as walk-ins, and they were able to get us seated around 10:00 pm due to cancelled reservations. Not much seating overall, so would recommend getting a reservation in advance if you can. Drinks were awesome; my fave was the Velvet Underground, which had egg whites and a hint of banana. Unfortunately, the kitchen had closed, so we didn't get to try any of the food. My only gripe was with the service-- when I asked for recommendations, the server was not very helpful/ said there were no sweeter cocktails on the menu, though the one I ordered definitely was. Only 1-2 people working the whole downstairs area, so understand it may have been tough to get to everyone. Will have to come back to Buenos Aires Cafe to try the empanadas!
