Our Take

Here Nor There — Downtown

Here Nor There is the Downtown Austin speakeasy hidden behind an unmarked door inside a Congress Avenue building — push the unmarked door, descend a narrow stair into a candle-lit basement room.

The cocktail programme is one of Austin's most thought-out, with a tight rotating ten-drink menu and a separate dealer's-choice service. Music is low-volume, conversation runs at proper volume. Limited capacity and reservation-only — books out a week ahead Friday-Saturday.

Reserve via Resy 7+ days ahead. Walk-in nearly impossible Friday-Saturday.

What to Order

Rotating Ten-drink Menu

Seasonal, ingredient-led. The proper Here Nor There experience.

Dealer's Choice

Off-menu service from a deep spirits library. Trust the bar.

Hidden Door

Unmarked Congress Ave entrance, narrow stair down. The arrival.

Reservation Required

Resy, 7+ days ahead. Friday-Saturday books a week out.
