Retail Therapy Cocktail Lounge - Austin, Texas

Carl Orlando Williams Jr.

This is my new favorite bar/lounge in Austin! They always have great music as they have one of the best DJs in Austin who work most nights. Their drinks are stellar and unique.

The staff, bartenders, servers and general manager make you feel welcomed and appreciated. This place possesses an ambiance of fun and positivity energy.

They also have a lot of good looking customers who frequent there.

Experience this place for yourself and thank me later!

A true modern-day speakeasy experience from beginning to end.
This place gives you both intimate and inviting atmosphere.
From enjoying live jazz music, sipping on 1/2 off bottle of wine with a special someone.
To experiencing a top-shelf spirit and savory sushi rolls with colleagues or friends.
But it’s truly the welcoming service and attentive staff that truly keeps me coming back by keeping you informed on their future events and happy hour specials!
This hidden gem is an Austin must visit!

Swanky speakeasy in the heart of downtown perfect for a date night, girls night out (GNO), or birthday. Quality of Service and Instagramability are high for me as the designated planner of the group, so time and time again I find this upscale cocktail lounge as my go-to spot.

Here are my key notes:

- The maximalist in me thrives with the rich colors and design.
- Lots of lounge areas for large groups.
- Service is 10/10. A drink wait is never long, and the portable tab machine makes it easy for to pay without going up to the bar and splitting between groups. Love to see it.
- Bathrooms are always clean and never a long wait. The full length mirrors have me feeling like Beyoncé ngl ?
- Drinks are fuego, I love the No Pasa Nada with Mezcal which can be made as a mocktails for chill nights.

Overall, add this spot to your Austin rotation and thank me later >.< Had to add for my people looking for a classy elegant night on the town.

Retail Therapy blew my mind. First of all, the toilet is BLACK (in a good way). Bee was our server and she was a queen goddess and so helpful. The espresso martini even came with a little tiramisu, are you kidding me? The bar was sleek, gorgeous, stunning, the vibes were perfect. The drink menu is huge and to die for. The shoes when you enter? Taylor Swift basically offering you a drink Mouthwash in the bathroom, that may have accidentally been used as hand soap? What more could a girl ask for.

This is a truly wonderful speakeasy. They are located right behind the Driskill. Do yourself a favor and get off of dirty 6th and come enjoy their wonderful craft cocktails, served by their mixologist, Brady.

If you are a fan of the Roosevelt Room, then you will enjoy this more intimate speakeasy setting.

You are warmly, greeted when you walk in and a simply lovely hostess will provide you with not only a warm welcome, but a ginger shot to cleanse your palate.

Brady provided us with a lay of the land and a few recommendations. Drop your guard and order one of their unique cocktails. If you're not feeling adventurous, order a wine or beer, but why?

Big spenders, you can reserve their private room and order bottle service. We took advantage of the happy hour and left, saying we will be back, and with our gang.

The the venue decor is modern speakeasy I guess. There are some really cool artwork and a few surprises.

This is an easy Five star review on Google and on Yelp.

We went here to celebrate our anniversary and were treated like royalty! Alexis was in communication with us leading up to our evening to make sure everything was perfect. And after being treated so well, she handed us a hand written card thanking us for coming. Atmosphere was dark and cozy, sushi was delicious, but the staff there definitely impressed us the most. Can’t wait to go back and bring all our friends!
