My friends and I stopped by with the intention getting one drink and then going somewhere else. We ended up staying the whole night. We had such a good time. The atmosphere is fun, music is good and service is excellent. Joshua – our waiter – was so attentive and kind. We will absolutely back. Thank you Joshua!

Stopped for a quick drink before a comedy show, but the bar was under renovation. Drinks were available in the lobby, it was a little loud and not quite what I had hoped for. Will need to come back another time.

This hotel (and bar) is a must-see when visiting Austin! It’s historical inside and out!
Great place to grab a drink. Soak in some old school country vibes accentuated with country music.
Food was disappointing, ordered the lamb sliders, which were cold and the lamb was a bit undercooked and also coldish.
The pretzel was decent and the show stealer was the beer, cheese and mustard sauce. It was amazing.
I’d Definitely highly recommend this iconic hotel for everything but the food.

This is the perfect place to go get drinks on any day during the week, specially if you’re in town for a conference or something like that. Their tequila list is limited, but they have a good selection of other more common drinks like whiskey, scotch, and cocktails. The atmosphere is classy, and you’re guaranteed to meet great people there.

We were planning on stopping in for a quick drink and ended up staying for hours to watch Big John Mills. He plays 3rd Thursday of every month and was awesome. The staff was great and the drinks were cold. Perfect spot to watch some music and grab a drink.

We came in here in the middle of summer and it felt a little hit or miss. It was definitely busier on Friday night than it was on Saturday night. The waiter made it feel like it was a chore serving us. The Lady Bird cocktail was very good and we did enjoy the pretzel. I was however a little frustrated by the lack of live music. Their website says it’s on hiatus until October, but if you are staying in the hotel it makes you feel like you are paying for there to be live music on site and that just isn’t the case for all of summer apparently.

We came for restaurant week(s) and were not disappointed! The Driskill always has unique flavors with their dishes. I will say my favorite dish was the dessert: the brioche bombolini! Just very unique donuts with lots of fun sides like a bubblegum foam and raspberry sauce. Thank you, Emily!

This is the most comfortable and most beautiful bar I have been to. You definitely know you are in Texas when you are here. The leather couches and the big Long Horn on the wall add to it’s stunning decor. The food was great and the service was wonderful too! We enjoyed our time here. ]

The atmosphere in the Driskill is classy but unpretentious. It honestly feels a bit out of time in the best way. The cocktails are great, the beer selection features local craft beers, and the staff is friendly and skilled. Not to mention the bar is located within the historic Driskill Hotel, which is downright majestic.

Great hotel bar with live music in the evening. Has a cool Texas theme to it. We had a few cocktails and appetizers. Everything tasted great and wasn’t terribly priced for being in a hotel
