Cool atmosphere. There's a menu with seasonal cocktails, but also a full bar. I went for a drink with coworkers and loved the different seating options as our group got bigger. Bartenders make the drink just a little strong so you get your moneys worth. Only star I took off is parking is limited, so get here early!

The is one of the most Austiny bars I've ever been to. Staff is loosey goosey weird af, the outdoor seating area is filled with random items and there's a house cat that was just chillin'. With all that said, it was a cool spot. Super chill, music not too loud, bar staff was friendly and pretty fast. More

This is a beautiful place! Outside patio, Italian food truck(that is to die for), and a live theater! The staff is super friendly and, the drinks are killer. There are even cats that will come sit with you! You'll wanna check it out for sure. It's also family and dog friendly! More

SO VIBEY I got asked out on a date here tonight, never been before sadly. The pretty lights everywhere and overall theme was the perfect first date vibe, and it won't be the last date either! Also everyone from the people to the staff were super friendly, and LOTS OF CATS <3 …

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 an enjoyable evening out in Austin.

No atmosphere. The bar was brightly lit and since no one was really hanging out inside, just ordering drinks for patrizis, there was just a long line for the bar. The bartenders seemed peeved to be there and did a poor job of directing the patrons. The whole experience was weird.

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 listen to music and have fun.

Great bar, hidden gem in East Austin. Great place to hang outside, late night. The Italian food truck is pretty good too. Seen a couple of bands play on the small outdoor stage, cool place to chill and listen. Haven't seen anything in their theater yet.

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

Juanita and Jenny were my bartenders and they really took care of me and the friends I was with. I’m a fan of fun new drink recipes and they had perfect suggestions for me to try. All the drinks we tried were really delicious! I love that

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

If you're looking for a spot that gives you the feeling of what Austin bars should really feel like, this is it. With eccentric lighting, decorations, and drinks, this place feels unaffected by the overwhelming amount of boujee/modernist

The drinks are great - some cool unique cocktails and a good mixed drink/beer list. Very friendly cats that hang around the grounds (or indoors on cold winter days). If you've got allergies, watch out. It's got a great Italian food truck

One of the last authentically cool places in Austin. The deaththroes of the "Keep Austin Weird" motivation is easily seen here. Chill spot in a central neighborhood just off of Manor. It's the Austin most people think about when they say

Showed up on a whim with 3 friends and was met with consistently exceptional service and thought! The hosts took our temperature at check in which made us feel extra safe around the patrons dining around us. we were immediately sat at a

this place is just darling. been in quarantine since March so haven’t gone to any restaurants, etc. went here with some friends a few weeks ago because they assured me the butterfly bar was taking very good covid precautions. they were

Divey but really good service. Expect cans and full pours here for $5-7 for beer and cocktails $8. Great service that is quick and active, not the typical where you're standing there trying to make eye contact for 10 minutes. Patrizi's

I love the atmosphere but was highly offended by being called a bro and not to congregate in the middle of the patio. I highly enjoyed the glares from the inside bartender while ordering lone stars from the bar. My group was 75% of the

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

The line service while waiting to order food was something i never expected. Two different employees greeted us and offered knowledgeable discussion about the entire menu. They were polite, professional, and genuine in their opinions.

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.

Hard to find bar but the old fashion vibe gives away to classic cocktails. The honeysuckle cocktail is one of their specialities but I found it a tad too sweet, still great to sip on during a summer evening

Butterfly bar is cute, with a sweet outdoor venue. There is very often live shows going on, otherwise the vibe is nice and cozy. The drink options are solid. Definitely a staple spot in the area …

So I dug this place before the pandemic, let me say that first. A great place to grab a good drink before or after a show at the vortex! Nice staff, good drinks, fun decor, and kitties to scritch on.

Super nice place, great bluegrass night on the 3rd Wednesday of month that we were lucky enough to be in town for. No draft beer (as far as I could see) but that's ok. Unfortunately we missed the

Cute bar, great patio for when the weather is nice. The inside is small - like it's very much meant to be a location that you sit outside. Plus there are a few property cats that rule the roost.

So happy we found the vortex, the pasta food truck and this bar. Had a lovely evening with friends in this chill garden atmosphere. Cocktails were excellent and the service friendly.

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.

Wonderful atmosphere! Perfect for a pre-show drink! Also, most definitely the best place to celebrate Austin theatre community members -- both those with us and those now past. More

Great atmosphere and cocktails, the menu always has some seasonal specials. Sangria is great, also can't go wrong pairing Patrizis with your drinks at Butterfly Bar 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.

Bar tenders are fantastic and helpful. Drinks are delicious and refreshing and decently priced. Relaxing and chill atmosphere

It has a nice big outdoor area with lots of room to sit and enjoy some time with friends.

This place is super cool. Get a drink before the show at The Vortex, or just get a drink at happy hour.

Year of the rabbit celebration great food and live music. A wonderland experience. …

Super friendly staff, a great atmosphere and great drinks. The cats are lovely as well.

Super cute and cozy bar/outdoor seating area. The cocktails were great too!
