Where to Wet your Whistle in Austin, TX



Welcome to Austin, SXSWers!  If you're looking for places to wet you whistle, try some interesting cocktails, taste some regional brews, or sip on some wine, you've come to the right place.  The variables that I used to choose bars to include on this list includes variety in selection, atmosphere, and location.  These are places that I might frequent to enjoy a quality wine, beer, or cocktail.  Here's a Twitter list of Beer, Wine, and Cocktails tweeters to follow.

  1. This is so useful! I'm not lucky enough to go to SXSW but will be road-tripping through Austin this summer and everyone has told me to try Uncle Billy's BBQ. The Gingerman sounds worth a visit, too!

  2. Great list of restaurants. Some I haven't heard of, will have to give it a try.
