“ 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 my bartender. He was fantastic and made some great recommendations and was fun to talk with. Wish I lived in Austin to enjoy this place more often. ”
