Austin Club has such a stylish atmosphere and is the perfect spot for a night out. The Tea Time cocktail was delicious—so smooth and easy to drink that I finished it before I knew it! Beautiful presentation, great vibes, and definitely Instagram-worthy. I’ll be back to try more cocktails!
Haruka Ueda, 3 months agoAmazing visit today. Cocktails made to taste, service with a smile and great banter and chips, prawn croquettes and squid were all extremely tasty. Will definately be back.
Kerin T, 6 months agoWent for a cocktail or two post dinner with the Mrs. Waited outside in the freezing cold (sober) as the doorman waited for people to be "shuffled around inside". We were at the front of the que. 3 eccentric people arrived behind us and were let straight in in front of us. We left. I have been here a few times but the Mrs had never been. It's okay, cool concept, but its pretty over-rated. After that hospitality, I certainly wont be rushing back.
