“ Ian the bartender was fantastic. He was great, accommodating, and kind. He made a phenomenal non-alcoholic margarita. Great open-air atmosphere and the perfect spot for food and drinks before attending any live show in Austin. ”
“ Driving from Round Rock just to check out this place, I was disappointed there was a large party reservation when we got there. The manager/bartender that greeted us went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience ... ”
“ 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. ”
