Speakeasy Austin, which is located on Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, is a great spot for cocktails + live music in ATX! Per their website, "Speakeasy, located in the historic Kreisle Building, which was built in the 1870’s, has been continuously serving up great live music and great cocktails since 1997. Speakeasy is composed of three levels; the Music Lounge, the Bowling Mezzanine (which overlooks the Music Lounge stage) and the Ballroom, the Kabaret Room and the rooftop lounge, Terrace59." I recently visited for the first time for their New Year's Eve festivities with my boyfriend + a group of our friends, and we had a wonderful experience! The Spazmatics were one of the featured bands on NYE, and Speakeasy's space was perfect for experiencing live music. :-) In terms of their drinks, they make a great margarita, and the bartenders were very efficient & kind during our visit. The space within Speakeasy is huge, so there is so much to explore when you visit! I'm looking forward to returning here in the future - this is a great spot, go check them out!

Speakeasy was such a vibe! Perfect downtown Austin spot with a great atmosphere, hilarious comedy, and incredible drinks. The location makes it easy to explore the city after, too! Huge shout-out to the bartender—she was working solo and absolutely crushed it with her energy and service. Definitely coming back for more laughs and cocktails! 🍸😂✨

No food here, so grab a bite before visiting. The ambience was great and the drinks were decent. The old fashioned was heavy on the syrup, but after adding a double shot it evened out. Espresso martini was just what the doctor ordered. Live music seemed like it would be good, but we had to leave before they started. Would come back, though, to try again! There's was a couple of corporate events happening so we didn't get to check out the 2nd story or rooftop.

Not what I thought of when I saw speakeasy. I was expecting a trapdoor or something of the sort but it was just old school decorations. And lots of stairs. There's one side that goes all the way up to the third floor but then you have to go all the way down to switch more stairs to go up to the second floor so lots of stairs. And it's the smaller ones so if you're not paying attention you can slide down them or if you're drunk.

This place was very fun and of course it helped a lot that I was with a fantastic group of people. The food was very good as were the drinks. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ability to actually talk a lot with my friends. We had a great time
