Came for new Year's Eve.
First off, you have to have a password to get in. Luckily we had a regular who invited us out and had said password.
Once inside you are great with a bar and swings. Seating is first come first serve. You are encouraged to use any open spot..
Right away we had a staff bring us water and menus. We took a moment to check everything out and landed on woo girl, trix are not for kids and beanwild rotational and a spice margherita.
After that round we had a round of mimosas with a st. Germain floater. Fantastic.
This place is fun and the new manager came by and made sure we where good to go.
Staff was super friendly and the music kicked as from the DJ.
You will have to work to earn the password from what I'm told but once you do there is a news letter to keep you up to date.

This speakeasy is absolutely amazing. Great vibes, music, and especially drinks. Layton was an amazing bartender and talked to us almost all night. The drinks are very good, and suitable for all tastes and niches of drinkers.

Best place in Austin!! My friends n I stumbled upon this place while trying to find a bar that wasn’t packed on a Monday. Awesome concept and killer music.
Menu was hilarious, and bartender was super accommodating. Had the best penicillin here, and it was on the house too!
Bartenders are super passionate, will definitely come again when I’m in town!

Visited Austin for a work trip and wanted to visit this special place based on recommendations from co-workers. You have to have the special code to get in, but once you find it and punch it in you enter a magical bar with delicious cocktails. Just be warned the drink names are quite “interesting” so keep an open mind.

The Soul of Floppy Disk Is Gone
If you’re looking for the old Floppy Disk in Austin… don’t bother. It doesn’t exist anymore. The new ownership has completely nuked everything that made this place special.
First off, getting rid of the OG bartenders was the worst mistake they could’ve made. Those people were the identity, the attitude, the heartbeat of the bar. They remembered faces, they knew how to read a crowd, they kept the energy tight. Now? You’re lucky if the new staff can make eye contact, let alone a proper drink.
The music? Absolute trash. Whatever playlist they’re running sounds like a red-headed stepchild version of somebody’s “quirky dive bar” Pinterest board. It’s bland, awkward, and sucks every ounce of vibe out of the room. This used to be a spot where you walked in and immediately felt plugged into something—now it feels like a waiting room with liquor.
And the energy… man, it’s just gone. The whole place feels drained, like they unplugged the soul and left the shell standing. No vibe, no personality, no spark. Just a bar trying way too hard without understanding what made it great in the first place.
If you loved the old Floppy Disk, prepare to be disappointed. The new management took something authentic and vibrant and somehow managed to strip it into complete nothingness.
RIP to an Austin staple. The takeover absolutely ruined it.

Turned away for not having a code, got excited to acquire code and were able to and then told we were not allowed to enter. Don’t waste your time

I don’t know if I’m just not in the know and everyone is aware of the vibes, but it definitely was a surprise when my friend said this was a speakeasy and it turned out to be a horror themed bar on the inside. There’s body bags and random man sized dolls on chairs. The drink themes are funny and cool and the swings and vibe is cool for photos. However, the music is exceptionally loud for such a tiny place and not an actual club.

Super cool (smallish) dive bar/speakeasy w/ above average drinks (and price). Killer (and varied) playlist from the speakers w/ attentive service. Buy a drink next door at El Cockfight and grab the code to get in!
