Austin treats tequila like it treats most things — with curiosity and a little swagger. The city's bars are happy to pour you a thoughtful Reposado neat or shake the Sabores line into something bright and unexpected.
Rainey Street's bungalow bars and patios are made for slow, warm evenings — perfect for a Paloma. The East Side is where the serious cocktail programs live; come here for a tequila old fashioned or a barrel-aged something. South Congress keeps the classics honest, with margaritas that respect fresh lime over sour mix.
Austin rewards the curious drinker. Ask the bartender what they're excited about, and don't be surprised if a flavored expression turns out to be the most interesting thing on the menu.
