The bartender at the bar is rubbing her ears with both hands and without washing her hands she opened my beer can also they are both screaming like crazy literally screaming not exaggerating they don’t have any draft beer and the place is very over rated, the smell of the indoor part is horrible it smell like pee, Also they don’t serve food only at the food truck which is out of any protein and they serve only pasta it was 9 pm what a horrible management.

Butterfly Bar is a small bar next to Patrizi’s offering some decent drinks, but at a bit of a steeper price. It’s clean and has a bit of a cozy vibe to it and the bartenders are very friendly. We ordered a paper plane and a run punch. They didn’t have fruit punch for the rum punch, so they Frankenstein’d a drink together for us. The paper plane was pretty good, but the rum punch was a bit of a miss, especially considering they didn’t have the stuff to make it. Altogether, the experience wasn’t bad but for Austin it felt pricey and with ½ drinks being a miss we probably wouldn’t stop by again.

The Butterfly Bar, as well as Patrizi’s (Italian food truck and Austin staple), are both part of the Vortex, a live theater venue with extensive outdoor seating. The Butterfly Bar has an 100-year-old bar top, a small area for indoor seating, friendly staff, and plenty of clean gender neutral bathrooms. But I’m here to hype up their red sangria! It’s very refreshing and has the perfect blend of wine and fruit flavors. And if you’re feeling hungry, check out the pastas at Patrizi’s!

Weird vibe. I respect the audience but not for me.

Fun location especially when you can sit outdoors.

Vibes on vibes on vibes. Butterfly Bar is such a cool/unique spot on the East Side. Highly recommend everyone check this spot out.

One of my favorite places to relax and socialize. Arty witchy vibes. Lots of cool cats hanging out.
