Bar 508 Mezcalerita

Bar 508 Mezcalerita occupies a renovated house at 508 East 8th Street in downtown Austin, built around an extensive mezcal selection and Tex Mex style food. The patio is one of the larger ones downtown, and the spot has a reputation as one of the less pretentious tequila and mezcal bars in the area. It hosts mezcal tastings and live music on a regular basis, though it only opens Friday and Saturday evenings, from 5pm to midnight. For riders in downtown Austin on a weekend night, it is a patio first option built around agave spirits rather than a full bar menu.
