DrinkWell

DrinkWell is an intimate cocktail gastropub in Austin's North Loop neighborhood at 207 East 53rd Street, built around a seasonal cocktail list and a small, from-scratch food menu. The room seats around three dozen, so it reads more like a neighborhood living room than a big downtown bar. The cocktail list changes with the seasons, blending classic builds with newer riffs, and the kitchen makes its bar food in house rather than leaning on outside vendors. Seating is first come, first served with no reservations for dine-in, so for a rider looking for a quieter cocktail stop away from the Sixth Street crowds, arriving early is the way to get a seat.
