Whisler's is a sophisticated East Austin cocktail bar spread across multiple levels, including a rooftop mezcal bar called Mezcalería Tobalá that is one of the best in the city. The cocktail program is serious and inventive without being pretentious, and the bartenders genuinely know their craft. The space has a moody, candlelit atmosphere perfect for a date or a slow evening drink. It can get crowded on weekends, and the rooftop fills up fast — arrive before 9 PM to snag a spot.
