"A Downtown institution since the late 1800s, The Driskill is a hotel at 6th and Congress that some people think is haunted (we think it’s the 6th Street shots talking). It’s also home to a pretty iconic bar that feels like the type of place old-school Texans went for a formal night out. The cocktails aren’t anything special, but you’re here for a chance to step back in time while sipping on a martini in one of the most historic bars in the state." - nicolai mccrary
