Went for post dinner drinks recently. Seemed like they only had liquor but everything we had was delicious. Very good vibes - outside was under a big tent as it was pretty cold. Not too crowded on a Thursday and we were able to find a table.

Whisler’s easily earns a spot in my top 5 cocktail bars in Austin. Their Old-Fashioned is outstanding — perfectly balanced, smooth, and crafted with real attention to detail. The vibe is relaxed but stylish, making it a great place to unwind or start a night out. Friendly bartenders, quality spirits, and consistently great drinks. Highly recommend if you appreciate a well-made classic cocktail.

Friday 1/9 - whoever the doorman is needs to be fired. Dinner at Suerte - then went to stop in for a few drinks. Doorman decided we weren’t young enough. Let dozens go in front of us. When asked if we were too old, said “well it’s not that”. Then what was it? We would have spent $$$. Big mistake. Go to Bluff’s instead. Never ever posted a review before. He was so offensive!!

Place is beautiful, the drinks were great. The bartenders have no personality and are not attentive. Would be 5 star if bartenders were good.

We didn’t know what to expect from the unassuming exterior, but the bar surprised us with its thoughtful décor and great drinks. The patio was packed, the pinball machine added some extra fun, and the real standout was the unique interior and the mezcal/tequila lounge upstairs. The earthy, vintage sportsman-inspired details were whimsical and memorable—we liked it enough to come back twice.
Upstairs is a pretty cool mezcal bar with candlelight and wood incense on the weekends. There is a huge selection.

It's either dead or packed. Catch the in-between, or it's not too enjoyable. The upstairs shot bar is nice (mezcal) and the staff knows their mixology. No tap beers, everything in can or bottles

I was ordering a drink and handed the bartender my credit card to pay. She took it from me to run it and after 5 minutes she still hadn’t returned it to me and was making more drinks. I asked her where my card was and she claimed she had handed it to me. After a few minutes of her claiming to have given it back or me never giving it to her my friend chimed in saying that he watched me give it to her. She finally admitted she had no idea where it was and claimed it wasn’t a big deal and to cut her some slack. They then assured me that my card was never ran so I should be okay with it and to just lock it. I checked my statement the following day and saw a fraudulent $27 charge which wasn’t what the price of what my drinks would even cost. Don’t waste your time here with their at best incompetent staff or at worst fraudulent staff
