Good Drinks

1. Red House Lounge

Neighborhood: Cherrywood

and Western themed decorations. It was quiet when I got there, but it soon picked up. I had the pear puree Tito's drink--which was good, but maybe not $8.50 good. I followed it with a Michelada--tasty...

2. Longbranch Inn

Neighborhood: East Austin

jukebox.  A comfortable place to drink beer and have great conversations.  And whether I went there on a weekday or a weekend, I'd have an equally good time.  Up until last night I didn't have that bar...

3. The Lobby Lounge at…

the night. And that chocolate martini- oh my goodness! It was like drinking pure chocolate- the best drink EVER for chocoholics! We also ordered a cheese plate for our table, which was very good as well...

3. Bender Bar and Grill

4. Red House Lounge

Neighborhood: Cherrywood

Good drink, but it's expensive for Austin. A little yuppie-ish and seemed like it was loud even though we were outside. The bartenders were nice but took forever to recognize a friend and me. Yuck...

5. Longbranch Inn

Neighborhood: East Austin

at some logic...  Good location, downtownish without the crap.  The bar has a nice aged and relaxed atmosphere.  I like the bartenders, perhaps a bit surly but they're not assholes.  Good prices...
