Saw DuMont’s listed as a haunted bar and decided to stop by with new friends. Compared to the crazy activity partying on the street above, this place felt like a tucked away gem. Needed to descend stairs to enter, I can’t recall if there was an elevator for accessibility. Cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere was perfect.The bathrooms were decently sized (considering it was underground!) and very clean, considering it was a bar.

We always come here every Tuesday and we usually get Negroni , its never been disappointed , stuffs are usually kind and they are always paying attention making us great Negroni . But this Tuesday night was really bad experience we had one of the bartender was super rude to us. (Who has beard )I just said hi how are you he didn’t answer I asked what beers you have he didn’t answer again he only showed menu he doesn’t even said anything. I know that’s one of great cocktail bar in Austin only one person makes everything terrible they should definitely change that thing .

Excellent atmosphere with amazing cocktails. One of the top bourbon/rye selections in the city 170+. Amazing date night location during the week and a high volume bar on the weekends!!Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator available on request.

The service here was actually pretty good, not too hard to get drinks at all. And the drinks themselves were pretty nice.However, my biggest gripe with this place is the lack of seating. And it wasn't just me because other patrons also were consistently scouting for a place to sit. But yeah, it's nice that your ears don't get eviscerated when you're just trying to chill.

This is one my favorite places in Austin. Probably bc of my age range of friends 30-50 something. The basement stairway entrance leads to low ceiling dark and cozy space. Kinda masculine but also comfy for the ladies in heels. Standing is not awkward unless you can land a seat on one of their couches. I like that it’s on 4th street where you can pop across the street to dance once the drinks kick in?

I was in Austin for one night on business. Had quite a few local Speakeasy bars to pick from, and I landed at Dumonts. Can I just say that I'm super glad I did. Trevor, the bartender, was awesome to chat with, and the drinks were damn good. I will be back to Dumonts next time I return to Austin!

When we first arrived we were pretty excited, the atmosphere is dark, sexy and quite appealing. Spent a decent amount of time here and we were having a great time!! Service was okay nothing too exceptional, was a pretty busy night so understandable that it took awhile to order drinks. We were ordering the same drinks all night yet each time they were made completely different based on which bartender you ordered from which I guess is pretty normal as bartenders all over the world have their own perceptions on how a drink should taste so it didn't bother us at all. HOWEVER upon cashing out I felt extremely blind sided as the bar had added "auto grat" of 25%!!!!!! I did not catch this until after I signed and left the bar!! We were only a group of 4!!! I am still confused as to whether this is even legal!!!! This leaves a horrible taste in my mouth and makes me never want to return here!!! No where does it state they will do such a charge so I felt really scammed!!!I typically tip service quite generously in cash so after realising that I had already been charged 25% it just felt greedy and that the bartenders took advantage of the fact that we had been drinking for quite awhile.Additionally as the night went on the bathrooms became horribly disgusting with poop explosion all over the toilets, toilet paper shrewn all about with a pungent smell and not one employee went to clean them up, which for the atmosphere and the prices they charge seems gross and rediculous!Overall we wouldn't return because the experience isn't worth it and I would suggest that you pay real close attention to your tab when cashing out because apparently they will rob you.
The cocktail I got was very good. I really enjoyed the mood, the music selection and the barman was very sociable. Definitely will be

Recently visited an iconic basement bar that exceeded my expectations. The inviting atmosphere with dim lighting and comfortable seating was perfect for a night out with friends. They had an impressive drink selection, and the friendly bartenders helped me choose based on my preferences. A welcoming vibe keep me coming back.

YOU get a cocktail! YOU get a cocktail! Dumont’s always promises a night of frivolity. The atmosphere is jovial & when the cozy seating gets taken up, there are barrels as tables waiting. The bartenders make superb cocktails w/ a heavy pour, not to mention they can actually hear your order thanks to decent acoustics and respectable guests. Whilst in line for the loo, a man hushedly told me about how the place was utilized during the prohibition, and though that may be up for debate (the place is named after Austin’s most prolific female brothel owner), I beg the question, why not let yourself step back in time and believe? 9.1/10

Worst service ever, we walked in with three people to get drinks before an event and sat at the bar. The place was fairly empty. We were there for 10 minutes and still hadn't been acknowledged. We politely asked if we could order and the bartender snapped at us. We weren't feeling the vibe so we went next door to this too shall pass and the drinks were incredible and service was amazing! Net net don't go here, go next door.
