Ian the bartender was fantastic. He was great, accommodating, and kind. He made a phenomenal non-alcoholic margarita. Great open-air atmosphere and the perfect spot for food and drinks before attending any live show in Austin.

This place is cozy. Perched up on a hill with the windows open it had a great vibe. Be prepared to spend almost $20 for a well margarita.

We are visiting Austin with my wife, it is difficult to find anyone who speaks Spanish in the bars; Mikel was an excellent bartender. The food is Tex Mex; It wasn't excellent but I didn't dislike it either. The mezcal cocktails are a delight. We will definitely return to the bar.

Went there a few nights ago with my friends. Very nice little bar, a lot of drinks based on the mezcal. Even tho I don’t like mezcal, the bartender, Michel (I think) been very helpful with drink choice. My friends loved it, thank you for the great service.

Was here last night. Its rare for me to do reviews but here we are. I went with my boyfriend and was blatantly ignored several times at both bars. The bartender at the wrap around bar ignored us and several others for upwards of 20 minutes. We left and went to the other bar where they again ignored us for just as long. Because we’d already put our names down we decided to stay. We went back to the first bar and was ignored again… so we left and went to Charlie’s. This is my first time in Austin. Maybe it was a busy night (though it didn’t look like it at all. Seriously)… but I’m not sure if this place is terribly friendly to LGBTQ people. Just a hunch.

Had a wonderful time here last night. I don’t usually drink mezcal but the bartender (Michael?) convinced me to try it again. Will definitely be back.
Wasn’t served in 15 mins due to bartender distracted by server’s (or whoever’s) ticket. Walked out.

Funny (peculiar) bar arrangements, with the menu for the cocktails only available at the restaurant next door, that this is a Mezcal bar, but other basic drinks are available.Mikel was a superb host. A mixologist, proud of his craft, he offered a special concoction of his own, after asking if, as a new customer, I trusted him. I let him mix a special drink, very fairly priced, and was delighted with the result, to henceforth be known as "Scott's Drink." I told him of the legacy the Vieux Carre enjoys, first served at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans in a bygone era of very different social media for building upon such things. The Bar 508 Mezcalarito could, in 100 years, may well have borne such a treasure on this early September visit. ASK FOR this elixir, by name. ?❤️?.... or just go to enjoy a good mezcal in a simple, down home, dive bar atmosphere with friendly service, adjoining the Pelon Tex Mex restaurant, whose fare we thoroughly enjoyed in the dining room next door.
