Get ready, you haven t seen margaritas like this. I was impressed with the bartender s knowledge of things beyond Patron.

I ll be back but with a smaller group earlier in the day, it got busy as folks turned up for Old 97 s across the street.

This is a highlight in a long day of bbq and drinki...

I am just beginning my adventure in tequila and Bar 508 was a fantastic start. The bartender was great and was able to provide some great recommendations. Tried a custom made drink by the bartender, an old fashioned with tequila, and a fantastic Smokey mezcal.

Went back a 2nd night and Matt was ...

So pretty much I sorta came here by accident. A little story. I found the bar on instagram about a month ago. Well a few weeks back I won a contest for a free bar snack, so I definitely came up quicker then I thought I was. Well this place did not disappoint. Happy hour was definitely good. Cocktai...

So I'm reviewing this bar specifically for their staff. I went to 508 one night and was alone. Matt not only is incredible at crafting some really creative cocktails on the fly, but he also made us women feel safe. Would absolutely stop by again 100% thanks to Matt and his creativity!

Had the absolute best bartender here! He was so nice, friendly and personable. My boyfriend and I came for a drink and each had a delicious cocktail and really enjoy the vibe of the place. I imagine it's crazy busy when it's not covid, but I also really enjoyed the slightly more laid back vibe :) hi...

Second day in Austin and Jay hooked us up at the bar. He went through all the mezcal that was offered and made us customized drinks (ask for mexican candy). Mentioned some great brunch places and made my friend and I really feel welcome.

Bartender kayla is awesome, always polite carrying a big smile everywhere she goes. Drinks always on point not too soft not too strong unless you can handle it lol definitely a place to grab a drink weather your starting the night or ending it.

Chill bartenders, tequila choices for days, closes too early, and interesting though oddly located venue.

Brought the in-laws to show them some Austin culture and they didn t disappoint. They had every tequila you can think of with a bartender there to guide you. My advice, if you re celebratin...

Sought this place out after seeing it on a few lists for Tequila cocktail bars. Our service was awesome, and she even charged my phone for a bit (which was a life saver using Birds and Lyft all day). The cocktails were OK. My Tequila old-fashioned was a little more sweet/flavored than I would hav...

Funky/fun ambiance in an old restored house connected to Pelon's Tex-Mex with great outdoor patio and a few bar games! Ask Natalie the sweet bartender to tell you the story about her very creative cocktail pictured..or try the Mezcal twist on an Old Fashioned, super good!

Stopped by the bar before a concert and the bartender was a raging lunatic. Evidently her replacement was late for his shift so they were boisterously fighting. They left the bar to fight in the back room and the female bartender was scary mad. She accused my husband of stealing his drinks after the...
