Whisler's

I have a hard time reviewing my absolute favorite spots, there's so much good to say and I don't ever think my reviews can do my favorite spots justice. Whisler's is an excellent cocktail bar that I frequent and never get bored of. Their revolving menu always has a story, and the chill space is cozy and welcoming, day and night. Whenever Whisler's introduces a new menu, I'm there. I've enjoyed their Jazz nights, their craw fish broils, and of course their 75 cent Martinis ('SCUSE ME?!), but mostly I just love grabbing a 5PM drink before the rush, opening my laptop outside and finishing a few e-mails under the sun. The bartenders as Whislers know what they're doing. They're pretty knowledgeable and I particularly enjoy sitting at the bar during the week when it's quite. It's cool to them create their "version" of the cocktail... I honestly sometimes find the cocktails inconsistent but actually appreciate the variations. The music is mostly chill, it gets pretty packed on the weekends, the Mezcal tasting room upstairs is an absolute must. Whislers will always be one of my favorite neighborhood bars.

Cool and busy bar on E 7th. This part of town is nice as its close to a bunch of restaurants and bars but not as raunchy like dirty 6th or Rainey.Whisler made some mean cocktails - I got the policy of truth and enjoyed it. Bf liked his old fashioned. The bars area look very cool - they have good lighting and cool interior design. They have a photo booth too. There is a burger food truck on the side of Whisler for when the midnight hunger hits. The upstairs Mezcal bar has a really nice intimate and cozy vibe (as long as it quiet down a bit). Overall solid bar experience

Whiiissslerrrrssssssss. My top contender for an amazing night out and the perfect starting point for a whole street of fun if you're into bar hopping. Whisler's always brings the heat with a rotating cocktail menu that has an eccentric twist on spicy or tropical drinks. If you're someone who loves a unique flavor profile, this place will be your jam.The setup is ideal--plenty of seating, so you can roll in with a crowd and still find space to chill without feeling cramped. The patio has an incredible fried chicken food truck that's perfect for soaking up the drinks after a few rounds. I highly recommend grabbing some tendies--they're seriously sooooo good.I'm personally obsessed with their coconut milk-inspired cocktails. They're creamy, smooth, and totally hit the spot. And the bartenders? They're absolute pros--knowledgeable, efficient, and super speedy even when the bar is packed. Inside, the space is a gothic architectural dream, with moody vibes that make it stand out from the typical bar scene.Whisler's is not just a place; it's an experience. If you're looking for craft drinks, great food, and a killer atmosphere, you can't go wrong here.

I'm on a whirlwind tour of Austin and my friend said I couldn't miss this spot before leaving. We stopped in for their holiday cocktails, and received quick and sassy service. The Oaxacan hot chocolate (served hot, yes we asked) was perfect for a chilly night out and we sat in the tent picnic area.I love the building's character, and all the themed decorations, extra cozy and makes for a great meetup spot for big groups or an intimate date (if you pick the right table). Street parking was a bit of a struggle on a Wednesday night, but plenty to walk by and explore on your way to and from Whisler's.

Went here on a whim one night bar hopping around East 6th Street. It was in the middle of the holiday season and they decorated the restaurant so beautifully! All the pine trees branches on the wall were real and the smell was soooo good. The vibes were great. There was a lot of people but not too crowded where you'll be needing to push and shove to get around. Plenty of tables to sit at and easy to talk/ listen. The drinks we ordered were made beautifully and tasted great. A little bit on the stronger side but just how I liked it. Definitely would come back again!! Although since it is East 6th I'm not sure how the parking situation is. Definitely on an extra busy night out in this area, street parking is hard to find.

Just about a ten-minute walk from my apartment to get to this glorious neighborhood bar. Glorious because of the seventy-five cent martinis during happy hour. $10 gets ya buzzed up AND a nice tip for your server.Sometimes it's super packed and other times not so much. Either way, service is always spot on.

This is such a great place for craft, specialty cocktails. I've only come here during late afternoons/early evenings so it's easy to enter and not crowded to come into with a group of friends. Inside, it's dark and intimate and unique. I love the ambiance here. If you can find a sharpie, make sure to sign your name on the walls! There is also plenty of outdoor seating, with fans, in the oppressive Texas heat.The bartenders are super helpful and will give you great recommendations. Their cocktails are well-made, strong, and also exquisitely presented.

The ambiance of this bar is stunning! It stands out not only for its aesthetic but also for its creative mezcal drinks. There's a charming outdoor area where you can dine, unwind, and enjoy the atmosphere. Its cozy, intimate vibe makes it an ideal spot for a date night!

We came Friday night during their happy hour from 4-7! We tried the cosmo martinis since they had a happy hour special for $.75 martinis!! Insane special! We got 4 martinis for less than $4!! ~ Make sure to tip your bartender at least twice the tab if you get these martinis!! ~They have an outdoor bar and patio as well!! Plenty of outdoor seating and they also have golden tiger food truck (Asian fusion) The cosmo martinis are delicious - we had two each and were basically set for the rest of the night lol Super cute spot but be warned the $.75 martini special will have you waiting a bit at the bar with everyone else to order! The rest of the cocktail menu looks really curated and has some interesting options! Super cute date night spot!

We stopped in for a drink during our walk and loved the grunge look and artwork inside this dark bar! I'm sure it could be party central at night but our food place recommended them for drinks and they were spot on! I had an extra dirty martini I liked that the bartender asked how dirty I wanted. Cool place overall and the bouncer was super cool. We had a good conversation about the area and where to explore.
