This is our star tour, showing the very best speakeasy bars Austin has to offer—each with its own unique theme.

We begin right at sunset at a hidden speakeasy disguised as a travel agency just outside downtown. This tiki-themed venue features vibrant, exotic décor, theatrical drinks, and unmatched creativity.

From there, we head to a hidden luxury speakeasy tucked inside a casual Mexican restaurant, where the atmosphere and décor are breathtaking and the aesthetic alone is enough to consider this location one of Austin's best speakeasies!

We then journey through the heart of downtown, sharing Austin’s rich history while passing landmarks such as the Texas State Capitol and the famously haunted Driskill Hotel. Then we slip into an exclusive speakeasy—accessible only by invitation—hidden in a back alley behind the Driskill. Intimate and luxurious, it serves some of the most unforgettable cocktails you’ll ever taste.

This isn’t just a tour—it’s Austin’s ultimate speakeasy experience.

My SO and I joined the Speakeasy Tour and visited 3 great, exciting and unique venues. Our group really enjoyed the Tiki bar the best with the third location a close 2nd. My only critique was that it was a little rushed at the 2nd spot so we needed to leave shortly after our drinks arrived. Dylon our guide was amazing and really made it a fun night out in Austin. Quick tip: arrive early at the meeting spot and enjoy some of the best ramen before heading out for the tour.
Fun af the Speakeasy’s.

Highly recommend! Dylan made this Austin Speakeasy Tour both fun snd educational. Parking is limited at the meeting point so best to walk or uber. Also enjoyed seeing and hearing about some history and urban myths.

Dylan and Astria have done their homework and brought us to 3 very different and fun speakeasies. We enjoyed the locations, drinks and company. They also provided us with some background history on Austin which was helpful. We did this tour our last night in Austin and wish we had done it sooner so we could have explored other locations they shared with us. Overall a very fun night! Thank you.
Austin Locals Rocks!!

This was Dylan and Astrid’s first time doing the speakeasy tour in Austin!! We were lucky enough to join them and they did a great job showing us some unique speakeasies in the city. We also got some historical background and enjoyed the walk in great weather.
