Firehouse Lounge

Austin, Texas

Photo: Firehouse Lounge

Hidden behind a bookshelf in a former fire station on Congress Avenue. You push through the shelf and step into a moody, candlelit cocktail bar with brick walls and a vibe that says 1920s speakeasy without shouting it. The cocktails are classic-leaning and well-executed. The novelty of the entrance never gets old.

Insider tip

The Old Fashioned here is a benchmark. Ask them to make it with rye.

Houndstooth Coffee

Skip the line at whatever everyone's posting about this week. Houndstooth has been quietly doing single-origin pour-overs better than anyone in the city for over a decade. The West Campus location has this perfect mid-morning light that makes you want to stay for a second cup.

Uchi
EatSouth Lamar

Uchi

Tyson Cole's flagship is still the best meal in Austin, full stop. This isn't a sushi restaurant — it's a Japanese farmhouse that happens to serve the most inventive raw fish in the Southwest. The omakase is worth every dollar, but honestly the à la carte hot tastings are where the kitchen really shows off.

Hotel Saint Cecilia
StaySouth Congress

Hotel Saint Cecilia

Named after the patron saint of music and poetry, and it earns both. This is a 14-room estate hidden behind a wall of bamboo on South Congress. No lobby, no check-in desk, no corporate anything. Just a pool, a record collection, and the distinct feeling that you're staying at a very cool friend's house.

DrinkGeorgetown · Seattle, Washington

Westland Distillery

An American single-malt whiskey distillery in Georgetown that's rewriting the rules of what whiskey can be in the Pacific Northwest. The peat comes from Shelton, Washington. The barley is local. The Garryana expression — aged in native Oregon white oak — is unlike anything being made anywhere else. The tasting room is industrial-chic and the tours are worth every minute.

DrinkHayes Valley · San Francisco, California

Smuggler's Cove

A three-story tiki bar on Gough Street that houses over 400 rums and serves cocktails that trace the entire history of rum across the Caribbean, the Pacific, and beyond. The room is dark, nautical, and wonderfully theatrical — shipwreck wood, flickering candles, the occasional flaming drink. Martin Cate literally wrote the book on tiki, and this is his masterpiece.
