The Atx Drinker

Now that the hotter months are back in Austin, Texas, frozens are basically mandatory. ☀️🍹

And I still can’t believe this frozen flight at Cosmic Saltillo is only $16.

The flight includes:

🍺 Frozen Beergarita
Vacancy’s classic lager, agave, fresh lime, and salt.

🥭 Tequila Mangonada
Tequila and sotol with ripe mango, key lime, tamarind, and chamoy.

☕ Frozen Boozy Coffee
Tequila and mezcal with espresso, cocoa cream, and mole bitters.

No matter what you’re in the mood for, this flight has you covered. Something refreshing. Something fruity. Something caffeinated. Three absolute bangers.

I got mine at Cosmic Saltillo in East Austin, and between the rooftop views, massive patio, tacos, cocktails, and now this flight, it’s one of my favorite places to hang when the weather starts heating up.

Cheers ATX

Got home quicker on a Friday at 5 than I did on a Wednesday at 5pm wild

Austin Texas Traffic

Silver Medal truly is one of the best dive bars in Austin, Texas.

No fake “dive bar aesthetic,” no overpriced cocktails trying too hard to be retro. Just cheap beer, strong pours, pool tables, a jukebox, random movies playing behind the bar, and a patio full of people that somehow all feel like regulars.

They’ve got some of the best dive bar food in Austin too. Smashburgers, chili dogs, $2 Jello shots, and the kind of atmosphere that makes one drink accidentally turn into six.

This is the type of Austin bar people are talking about when they say they miss old Austin. 🍺

Austin asked for more day parties… East End Ballroom said bet

This spot in East Austin has been doing sunset DJ parties on the patio and it’s honestly such a good setup for weekend drinking.

But the craziest part might actually be the happy hour.

$5 petite martinis weekdays from 5 to 7pm 🍸

And they have this giant watermelon margarita for $90 that says it serves 8 people… but I swear it could feed a small village.

Food was solid too. The bulgogi steak tacos, coconut fried shrimp, and cheeseburger all hit. Plus they’ve got espresso martinis, frozen cocktails, champagne, DJs outside, and a huge patio setup.

Feels like one of those spots you can pull up for “one drink” and accidentally stay all day.

If you’ve been looking for a good East Austin happy hour, Austin patio bar, or somewhere for daytime drinks and DJs, definitely put East End Ballroom on the list.
