Celebrating more than 12 years of ‘cocktails, kitchen & kinship’ in Austin, Texas
DrinkWell opened on February 28, 2012. Much has changed since then, but what has not is our commitment to keeping Austin in good spirits. Over 12 year, DrinkWell has become of the most celebrated and consistently excellent cocktail bars in the country. This is because of the hospitality, talent & hard work of our teams over the years, and, of course, the generous support of our guests, vendors and community partners.
We're here because you're here.
“In a city that boasts a very serious commitment to fine dining and drinking, DrinkWell shines among them .”
