W XYZ Bar

This was such a fun little find! We discovered this place when looking for somewhere to grab a quick drink before our show at the adjacent Alamo Lakeline. You wouldn't think a bar in the lobby of the Aloft could be so trendy and fun, but we had a blast and some great and somewhat reasonably priced drinks to boot! The decor is a lot of fun as was our bartender, Sam! He was fantastic at being honest about which drinks were actually worth getting off the cocktail menus and he didn't judge when I ordered the "No Ducks Given" just for the floating rubber ducky! We ended up here because my friends were specifically looking for dirty gin & vodka martinis, respectively. I'm a bourbon girl myself, but Sam made some mean martinis! I also had the Tom Collins w/antique barrel-aged gin that drank more like a scotch and was fantastic! The only thing I would say is the spinach feta "pretzel" here was not good and definitely not at all worth $7. It was definitely the "pop in a microwave" variety and wasn't even really a pretzel, it was more like a p'zone if anything else. So can't rec that here, but the drinks were great as was the company of our fellow "barflys" for the evening!

Good prices. Food served in to go containers. Pool table nice. Street tacos, pork, very salty. Prices reasonable. Music fun.

Morgan made our trip! She was so warm and welcoming. Stayed at the Aloft for Formula 1.

Bartender Amber was extremely rude and unfriendly. Clearly displayed an attitude. I won't return there again.

They have very good appetizers brisket sliders are very good, wings, flatbreads and more. Plus great service and drinks.
