Working downtown, you can find great drink specials and food specials. I love going to 219 West, because there you can find both. Their 1/2 off appetizers are varied, unique and filling. Just try one of their 5 or 6 varieties of sliders! Also, they've got quite the selection of tasty and local beers on tap, and the martini shakers will definitely calm you down after a long day. Only downside is finding parking, but since I work a few blocks away, walking is just fine!

Loved it! – Went here for our first honeymoon dining and was blown away by the friendliness of the staff. The happy hour was great and so was the food. Martinis came with their shakers and the bartender would change anything for a person's likes. Try the Tuna on the martini menu, YUM! Everything we tried was excellant. From the fish to the meats. Try the ribeye, was so succelent that my husband was surprised. Our waitress (Demi Moore look-alike) was fantastic and so friendly that we felt at ease automatically.

Great happy hour, fun staff – We stopped in early Saturday for happy hour and a meal. The servers were very funny, good sense of humor and joked with us the entire time we were there. Good guys (our waiter went by NightHawk which is funny but he did say he earned the name so that works). Food was good, not fanatatic but very good, and the drinks were really good. We did get harrassed by 2 homeless guys, one which walked right intot he porch to ask for money but left when we declined. Part of the spice of being downtown. Real... read more

Best Place for HH, Hands Down – I took my honey here for his birthday and I was impressed in every way possible. The prices were great, decor is amazing, and service was impeccable. I'm so glad I didn't pay attention to the bad reviews because the experience was great. It was Thursday night- so we enjoyed the smooth sounds of the live Brazilian band. When I say the service was great- I mean we had several members of the waitstaff come over to our table just to say, "Happy Birthday." And the food....DOUBLE YUM. I'm looking fo... read more

Great happy hour! The happy hour specials here are GREAT! They make good drinks and the appetizers are amazing! The last couple of times I went, the staff has come across a little "snooty", but they keep the drinks coming and the general atmosphere of the establishment is still relaxing and mellow.

Good happy hour, hard to get a table – I love going here for happy hour. Great food and drinks at a good price. It has a cool, upscale atmosphere. The crowd is generally a little older than I am, a lot of people in their 30s. Generally the service is good, but I took a friend there once and she wanted to sit at a table rather than the bar so we waited for over an hour before finally taking a table by the bar. The hostess told me we were next on the list, but we saw at least two other groups get seated before us. Maybe it's b... read more

Stellar Service – I visit Austin twice a month and went to this place on a recommendation from a freind. What a cool concept. The menu is based on what you want to drink. Classy looking place with very freindly service (probably the best I've gotten in Austin). I went three nights in a row and tried different things each time. Everything was surpisingly good, but the fried yellowfin tuna was one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. Great job 219West for creating a place so unique and refreshing.

Impressive All The Way – Went to this place for the first time, and it was great, (once we found it and a place to park). Cool atmosphere, kind of like an upscale American pub. The staff was eager to help us and service was pretty quick considering how busy it was. Our waitress was the best though, she was just incredibly ffriendly. We joined a large group of friends and had lots of appetizers all were very weel done. The little burgers were fun and tasty, but the best thing I've had in a long time were the fish nachos. I ca... read more
