"This downtown bar is an old-school Texas tavern tucked into the lobby of the historic Driskill Hotel. It nails its visual theme by incorporating leather furniture, dark wood paneling, Lone Star symbols, and even a mounted steer’s head into its decor. The result is a comfortable and quintessentially Austin place to relax with a cold beer, a classic cocktail (like a Sazerac or a Hemingway daiquiri), or one of the house drinks like the Samantha’s Ghost, which features mezcal, tequila, lemon, and orange liqueur." - Taylor Tobin
