If you are wondering about the list of best bars on 6th street in Austin Texas then here is the list for you.
Midnight Cowboy
Midnight Cowboy adds a touch of class and exclusivity to a
street otherwise known as "Dirty Sixth". According to the
prohibition-era theme, you won't find a sign illuminating the way to Midnight
Cowboy. Instead, you must make a reservation, whereupon the staff will give you
the correct buzzer number for the evening. This luxury cocktail speakeasy was
formerly a brothel by the same name and accommodates no more than eight people
in a party at once. Depending on your order, the mixologist might concoct your
poison tableside with a rolling-cart full of fresh ingredients. As former
patrons might have said, don't be fooled by size – small drinks pack quite a
potent punch.
Easy Tiger
Easy Tiger's indoor/outdoor beer garden is so well designed
and busy that it caught the attention of Food & Wine magazine. Nestled up
against Waller Creek, which runs through downtown Austin, Easy Tiger boasts
views of high-rises, greenery, rock and water. The Wes Anderson-inspired decor
is evidenced by the 1970s vignettes of bold wallpaper and retro hand-painted
signage. In addition to a full bar, this place offers a rotating menu of
obscure beers and wines, though they tend to sell out fast. Go for the
housemade sausage and bread once you're sauced and ready to hit one of the ping-pong
tables.
Dry Creek Cafe & Boat Dock
Hold your horses, for there is neither a cafe nor a boat
dock here. Instead, a landlocked winding road leads to a ramshackle bungalow
atop Mount Bonnell that looks as delicate as a house of cards. So what's the draw?
Simplicity in the form of ice-cold beer, an old country jukebox, and a rickety
deck that offers a lush view of where Texas Hill Country begins. Though the
surrounding area has been populated with the mansions of the nouveaux riches,
Dry Creek holds fast to its humble history and roots, refusing to change with
the times.
Lustre Pearl
As the founding and most frequented bar of the Rainey Street
district, Lustre Pearl charms its visitors with a semi-restored aesthetic and
sprawling backyard. Social butterflies hit the giant, deliberately dilapidated
house to hang out, hook up and hoolah hoop. The place is so consistently
charged with energy, an entire night in Austin could be devoted to weaving in
and out of the young professional and/or collegiate crowd. Should you indulge
in one too many Black Eyes (Shiner Bock with a shot of Jack Daniel's), the Bomb
Tacos food truck conveniently resides in Lustre Pearl's backyard, ready to come
to the rescue one greasy plate at a time.
Whip In
Whip In is revered for its novel interpretation of a
convenience store-turned-restaurant and bar, located on an unassuming (and
unattractive) corner of Interstate 35 in South Austin. It is a place to shop
for obscure grocery items, order Texas-influenced Indian food (dal puppies are
a must), participate in a trivia game, or drink from a selection of 72
microbrews on tap. Family-owned and operated, beer lovers will always find
someone behind the bar who can talk shop and knowledgeably guide a tasting. And
should you like something you drink, chances are you can find it in store to
take away.
Bar Congress
Bar Congress serves as a sophisticated conduit between its
popular eatery, Second Bar + Kitchen, and the five-star Congress restaurant.
The dark, narrow bar is classy, sophisticated and well-appointed. The operation
is stacked with top Austin talent, featuring an approachable sommelier and
artistic bartender whose concoctions may well erase the memory of any other
drink you've ever put to your lips. Service is paramount at any institution run
by award-winning chef David Bull, and Bar Congress is no different. But it's
not all pomp and circumstance here: this is Austin, and Bar Congress does know
how to kick back and relax, as evidenced by seasonal series like the summer's
Tiki Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
