Speakeasy
Speakeasy in Austin delivers a refined cocktail experience with a lively, multi-level setting that blends live music and occasional comedy. The friendly, attentive staff—especially the bartenders—enhance the atmosphere, while creative drinks like the espresso martini and classic old-fashioned (with a well-balanced syrup touch) stand out. Free popcorn and a hidden comedy nook add charm, making it ideal for groups seeking entertainment.
The venue’s central location and eclectic decor—think wooden floors and retro flair—invite exploration of downtown Austin afterward. While the stairs to upper levels may pose a minor challenge, the energy and versatility, from corporate events to spontaneous gatherings, ensure repeat visits. A note on inclusivity: past incidents highlight the importance of mindful programming for all patrons.

Speakeasy has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 based on over 1952 reviews on Google
No food here, so grab a bite before visiting. The ambience was great and the drinks were decent. The old fashioned was heavy on the syrup, but after adding a double shot it evened out. Espresso martini was just what the doctor ordered. Live music seemed like it would be good, but we had to leave before they started. Would come back, though, to try again! There's was a couple of corporate events happening so we didn't get to check out the 2nd story or rooftop.
Speakeasy was such a vibe! Perfect downtown Austin spot with a great atmosphere, hilarious comedy, and incredible drinks. The location makes it easy to explore the city after, too! Huge shout-out to the bartender—she was working solo and absolutely crushed it with her energy and service. Definitely coming back for more laughs and cocktails! 🍸😂✨
This place is always fun! The Lonestar Souvenirs is a great band. They can sing just about anything. They make it a fun atmosphere. We caught them one time following a comedy show. Now I believe they are the best band in the Austin area.
Great service. everyone who works here is super friendly and kind. Cool vibe. Wooden floors, great bands. Little comedy club in the back that most people don’t know about also a second level. Free popcorn.
Not what I thought of when I saw speakeasy. I was expecting a trapdoor or something of the sort but it was just old school decorations. And lots of stairs. There's one side that goes all the way up to the third floor but then you have to go all the way down to switch more stairs to go up to the second floor so lots of stairs. And it's the smaller ones so if you're not paying attention you can slide down them or if you're drunk.
This place was very fun and of course it helped a lot that I was with a fantastic group of people. The food was very good as were the drinks. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ability to actually talk a lot with my friends. We had a great time
Experienced the most racist band on 2/28/26. The lead singer wished a white man a, "Happy Birthday, Nick-err." While my black best friends were in the crowd. And who did they kick out, my black friends. End of story.
