We came down from Dallas and wanted to try a Speakeasy. This bar had a pleasant atmosphere and very clever drink menu. We were both really disappointed in our drinks. We got 3 drinks between us all different and they were really gross and weird flavors. The worst part, is for 3 drinks it was $80 with automatic tip added. The atmosphere did not make up for the price. We would probably try a different speakeasy next time we came.

Midnight Cowboy is such a unique and unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is one-of-a-kind—intimate, cool, and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a night of truly great cocktails. The drinks here are not just tasty but carefully crafted, with so much attention to detail. You can immediately tell the bartenders love what they do.

One of the best parts is how special the whole experience feels. You do need to make a reservation in advance, and once you do, you get a secret entrance code to use at the door. It adds to the excitement and makes the night feel like something out of a movie. Our host was awesome and incredibly helpful, making sure we felt comfortable and guiding us through the menu if we had any questions.
Overall, this is absolutely a must-visit in Austin if you want more than just a regular cocktail bar. Between the amazing drinks, the speakeasy vibes, and the thoughtful, welcoming service, Midnight Cowboy is easily one of my favorite spots in the city.

Midnight Cowboy is an excellent pre or post dining experience, or just as a jump off or close to an evening. The mixologists are masters of craft serving the best spritited and non-alcoholic creations. I love the new menu – both in design and recipe reprotoire – that I had to buy one as a keepsake. I will visit again soon.

Amazing drinks menu, each and every cocktail is beautifully crafted. The menu is fun too and takes you through a journey. They change their menu periodically. It’s a speakeasy and not easy to find. Also, I recommend reservations in advance as this place is quite small and is famous and full. Had a great time!

Midnight Cowboy is everything I imagined it would be and more! A speakeasy always adds to the fun of a night out and this is one of the coolest I’ve been to.

When you make a reservation (this is a must) you’re given a name to select on the callbox. Buzz the name and the host will let you in.

I was served by Holly and what a gem she is! She walks you through the menu and describes how the staff came up with all of the concoctions. There’s quite a bit to choose from so use the table of contents!

I had their take on the old fashioned, the King of Cups, and let me tell you, that puppy was STRONG but balanced. Truly one of the most unique old fashioned I’ve had. The presentation was top-notch with a smoked serving tray. 10/10 cocktail. (Pssst, this one drink is over 32% so keep that in mind)

The next drink I ordered was the Elixir of Love, which is a more floral take on the aperol spritz. I had the pleasure of having this made table side and it just enhanced the experience.

All cocktails are around $20 each but to me, the expeeience, atmosphere, service, and overall abv makes this more than a reasonably priced experience. With the setting being so intimate, it’ll never be too loud either, so this is a perfect date night spot or place to end the evening. It’s great for small groups, dates, or the solo traveller (like me!)

If you can, ask for Holly! She’ll take the experience to the next level.

Came here with a group of friends. Didn’t know what to expect but have been to many different speakeasies in San Francisco and Las Vegas. This place left much to be desired in terms of service and quality of drinks. We were sat in the back in a small room with a curtain, which had the bones for the start of a cool escape room but otherwise felt dingy and claustrophobic. To be fair, the menu was very cute. The drinks were displayed in a small book with tarot cards for each drink. Unfortunately, the drinks fell flat. There was a switch to call for service but no one really came to check in on us. Would spend my money elsewhere.

I finally made it to Midnight Cowboy — a hidden speakeasy tucked off 6th Street that’s worth the extra effort. The entrance is unmarked and you’ll need a reservation, but once inside it feels like stepping into a totally different world. The booths are intimate, the lighting is low and moody, and the whole vibe is classy without feeling stiff. Cocktails are creative and carefully crafted — some are made right at your table — and staff take their time explaining options without being pushy. It’s not a loud party bar, more of a sit-back-and-enjoy experience, great for dates or special nights out. Definitely one of the cooler cocktail bars I’ve visited downtown.

Very laid back environment with fun drink menu. The speakeasy vibe add to the mysterious atmosphere of the summer menu, inspired by the toro cards.

Fun discrete, narrow bar marked along sixth street by a red bulb. Extensive rotating drink menu that unfortunately doesn’t feature any prices. Our drinks were great and both around $19.
It features about 8 booths along a central aisle leading to the bar and private rooms in the rear.
We were lucky to get a seat without reservations, but we’re reminded to leave by a certain time.
The drink menu changes frequently, built around a theme. The most bold part of my drink’s presentation and flavor was its smokiness. Dramatic, but unfortunately the smokiness not only spoke first among the flavors, it spoke loudest.

This was such a great experience across the board. Staff was kind and incredibly knowledgeable. Venue was intimate and well curated. And the thoughtfulness behind the creative presentation of the cocktail menu was second only to the cocktails themselves. Looking forward to exploring further on a second visit.
