Hands down, my absolute favorite patio in Austin besides my own. A loose and happy environment, flavored by the gloriously... ever-weird Vortex Theater. Say hi and I'll buy you a drink. Read more

My partner and I went to the Butterfly Bar last night for a next day off from work cocktail. We had a wonderful experience. ... The patio atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The drinks were delicious and our bartender Regan went the extra *THREE* miles toexplain the nitty-gritty details of our cocktails. Easygoing atmosphere, super informed bartender - yes, a bit pricey (whatelse is new nowadays) - so I highly recommend! Read more

What a gem. Great environment and though the bar service can be slow, the pasta place here is fan-freaking-tastic! Had live... music when we were there on Sunday at 7 and the two different bands really added to the ambiance. Check this place out for anenjoyable evening out in Austin. Read more

1st. What an absolutely stunning setting. If you?re looking to have a high class cocktail in a beautiful garden with hundreds of... lights, you?ve found the place to go. 2nd. The fire pit. Need I say more? 3rd. The service is amazing. The bartenders makedelicious drinks and are incredibly friendly. Can?t tell you how many times I?ve had conversations with the Manager and theyremember my name and ask me about my life. Jenny, Juanita, Qasim?they are the go to Friday crew and they?ll take great care ofyou. 4th. You can?t beat the pours. Read more

Love this outdoor space and the food trucks but I must have hit them on an off day. The app they use to order drinks wouldn't... load on my phone so I had to get my friend to order for me. Margarita and wine was good (they do have a happy hour till 7) but Iordered one of the gin drinks (aviator) and it had a weird bitter aftertaste. My friend got the same, she tried mine and said ittasted different. I did have to wait for close to 15 min to get my drinks which I found a little surprising on a Wednesdaybefore it got busy. I'm planning on giving this another shot. 5 stars for sweet kitties. Read more

I wish I had photos of the plays to share with you because they are typically really fantastic. I've had a few that were so-so... and one that was a complete let-down, but I'm generally extremely impressed and entertained. The atmosphere is very cozy andinviting. There is a bar cat that occasionally pokes its head around and finds nice nooks to take naps. There is an indoor stageand an outdoor stage for the performances. The drinks are pretty, but I haven't tried enough to give a firm recommendation onthem. Read more

Crazy place. Not open until afternoon. Great bites at the food truck. Not only tacos. Impressive pastas too. Very wide outdoor... garden and patio. A closed bar and a performance center too, but that I am yet to discover. Read more

Vortex is one of those cool outdoor food truck and bar combos. The food truck serves a multitude of al dente pasta dishes, plus... appetizers. The bar serves since cool specialty drinks. Both the bar and the outside area have live music, so eat, drink listento music and have fun. Read more
