Retail Therapy

Retail Therapy is a cocktail lounge in downtown Austin at 120 E 7th Street, in the heart of the city's dense bar district. The venue leans upscale, with cocktails built from house-made syrups and fresh-squeezed juices, paired with a dessert menu from an in-house pastry chef. The space runs two identities in one night: a cocktail lounge earlier on, then a late-night club format from 10pm Thursday through Sunday with DJs and a shortened drink menu. That distinction is worth knowing for a rider aiming for the quieter cocktail hours rather than the later scene.
