The Gatsby

This might just be one of my new fav spots on the outskirts of Dirty. I'm so happy that I had such a different experience than my first time here. Ended up coming in to say hi to a friend and staying for an impromptu par-tay! They had a live DJ rocking some mad crazy beats! I had a group of friends who came over from Easy Tiger and were just going to stay for a drink, but we ended up turning the place into a house party! The bartenders here are fantastic and are generous with their pours! Mitch & Jordan did a great job handling the craziness. Also, you can't beat the drink pricing here either. Some friends who were in the group visiting from NYC & LA could not believe how cheap drinks in Austin are comparatively, but they especially marveled here. Will be back when in the vicinity to enjoy the patio once the heat/humidity die down.

This place is at the very end of 6th so it's easy to miss. However, it's a great departure from "dirty"...meaning they have classic cocktails and you can take a date there without looking like a douche. Also, they have drink specials for the ladies and happy hour which lasts longer than the rest of the bars in that area.

This place was great. We were in Austin for only 4 nights, but we stopped by this one for two of them. Its not loud and crazy like the rest of 6th St. Its definitely classier. The drinks are more advanced than just a beer, or a rum and coke. Though I did order an Aviation, and whatever they brought me was about as far from an Aviation as you could get haha. It was still a great drink. I don't blame them though, thats an old school drink and I rarely find anyone who knows what it is. I would start and/or end your night here if your looking to get crazy. Have a few decent drinks before youre to drunk to taste them haha. Theyve got a modern 1920s feel, and they play old silent movies on some of the TVs to add to it. Whether or not you're a fan of Gatsby I'd go. But if you are a fan (of the book movie or both) its a must.
