Kinfolk Cocktail Lounge & Spirits Library

Kinfolk Cocktail Lounge and Spirits Library is tucked into the historic cellar of Moonshine Grill in downtown Austin, behind original Texas limestone walls. The small underground room holds a curated collection of more than 900 spirits, from rare whiskeys and scotch to mezcal and tequila, and the bar builds its cocktail menu around that library alongside small bites like charcuterie and cheese. It's an intentionally intimate space, holding up to 24 guests, open Wednesday through Saturday from 5pm with reservations encouraged. For a rider looking for a slower, quieter stop after a day on the road rather than a loud downtown crowd, the moody underground setting is a distinct change of pace from the bars at street level around it.
