DrinkWell

Jessica and Michael Sanders have spent over a decade turning a North Loop neighbourhood address into one of Austin’s most consistently awarded cocktail bars—Bar and Restaurant Expo Cocktail Bar of the Year in 2022 and a Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards Top 10 finalist the same year. The programme emphasises approachability without sacrificing technique, with a menu that balances seasonal originals alongside crowd-pleasing classics. Regular Libation Bible School classes reinforce the bar’s educational bent, and a friendly, knowledgeable team keeps the atmosphere decidedly neighbourhood over nightlife. DrinkWell proves that a great cocktail bar can also be the place you go on a Tuesday.
