Whiskey & BBQ Slider Happy Hour

Freedmen’s Bar has a great happy hour special Tues-Fri 4-7pm.

  • $5 Brisket Sliders (They also offer pulled pork but I recommend brisket)
  • $3 Whiskey of the Month

Pictured below is the Glenfiddich 12 yr and the Holy Trinity (Brisket, Sausage, Pork Ribs). I was a little hungry.

Freedmen's $3 Whiskey + Holy Trinity

The Contemporary Austin commissions and presents a year-round schedule of contemporary art exhibitions featuring acclaimed artists from across the globe.

The Cloak Room

Looking for a simple, dimly lit bar only steps from the apartment…
This bar is famous for the Red Rocket (an outrageously strong drink) and bitchy waitstaff. Bring some quarters for the jukebox and tip your bartender heavily on the first round. If you want drama and don’t mind getting in a shouting match stiff them on the tip. I’ve witnessed many a war of words with these ladies. Also, you might end up partying with a state senator or a lobbyist. Happy Hour Mon-Fri 3-7
