Speakeasy 412 Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78701

"The waitress was on point despite them being packed! We came to see the Spazmatics, and as usual, they did not disappoint! The drinks were good, and we grabbed a hot dog from the vendor outside...man, that was delicious!!! Can't wait to come again."

"Was in Austin for a business trip. This place was outstanding. We stayed mostly on the second floor. The bartender was great. There were great games everywhere to play from ping pong to pool. Will definitely go back next time I am in Austin"

"This place wasn't what I expected from a place named Speakeasy. It's not bad. It's just more of a concert hall than a speakeasy. The band was actually good. The staff was friendly. It is a nice venue. However, the drinks were inconsistent. The first drink I had (sazerac) was good. I guess shift change happened and the drinks went downhill. I was served an old fashioned that tasted OK but no cherry, no large ice cube. I might be a bar snob. But if you're not you'll enjoy this place. IG: cltfooddrinkguy"

"Attended a 3-day event at this venue and must admit, it was very impressive. Our first evening was located in the loft section above the bar. The mood was pleasant, cozy, and offered a nice space for our 30 or so guests. The loft area was a tad noisy since it was directly over the bar/dance floor, but if we wanted some less noise we headed towards the rear of the area, away from the open area. There was a nice, quaint bar and a working bowling lane. Plenty of things to do, from ping pong to a nice game of pool. Seating was great for our size and offered some fun games if we wanted. The next two days of our event was upstairs on the street side of the venue. Again, another full bar, although we didn't take advantage of it. The decor and mood were great, exposed brick, fancy lighting and open-air concept was great for speakers. The floor is a bit creaky, to be expected in a historic building. During our event, there was a pesky fire alarm that would chirp every 30 seconds or so, made for a slight annoyance. All in all, this is a great venue worth every penny."

"The BEST part of my trip to Austin was discovering this spot. The bartender, Jesse, treated me like we had been friends for years and gave excellent service as well as advice about Austin, things to do, and places to go. She and Speakeasy were easily the best part of my trip to Texas and I will recommend this spot to EVERYONE."
