This cozy bar offers a fantastic experience with its friendly, attentive staff and standout food, especially the lamb meatballs, which are simply amazing. A hidden gem lies next door in the form of a sports bar, perfect for catching a game while enjoying the great ambiance. Whether you're in the mood for a relaxed evening or some sports action, this place has something for everyone. The warm, welcoming vibe makes it a spot you'll want to return to. Highly recommend for a casual night out with excellent food
Totally an unexpected experience! We stumbled upon this cocktail lounge after meeting a stranger on the street. Amazing ambiance. Delicious cocktails both funky and new and the classics. Can you find the speakeasy? Hmm, have a peak. I would be a regular here if I lived in the area. The service is welcoming and friendly.
Love this place. Bartender was AMAZING! Drinks and bites were delicious and a great atmosphere. 5 stars all the way around.
Speak Easy version of Cheers! Ask for Fish, my go-to bartender! I love how he knows his stuff?The art of mixing cocktails! He makes a delish suggestion for a new cocktail to try out too! If you like bitters, tell him and he'll make a suggestion. So head over, order some tasty bites like the salmon toast or spinach and artichoke dip and a couple of rounds of cocktails. Whatever transpired in your day, Drinks here will guide you back to your happy place, believe me it worked! New Winter menu is coming out
What a solid low key spot in DS! Really impressive cocktails, nice cozy/cool vibe, and an amazing staff. The bartender in the ?back room? might be the hottest women I've ever seen! Don't question it, just go.
A swanky and we'll decorated cocktail lounge in down town Dripping Spring. The atmosphere is nice, the staff is very friendly, and the drinks are delicious. They have a relatively simple menu but they encourage off the menu ordering. They can make you anything you want. They also offer tasty food options. One unique thing is the comic book decorated restrooms
Stopped by for a beer, loved the out there decor and if you look closely there is a Prohibition style hidden door to the sports bar next door. I learnt that grawlix is the noun for the combination of non-alphabet characters that is substituted for swear words in comics. Recommended!
This place is a gem in downtown Dripping Springs! Amazing craft cocktails and a good selection of beers and wine. The small plates are also very well done and we LOVE the charcuterie plate!!!
Excellent drink menu!!! Bartenders were outstanding and very courteous. There also serva an awesome cheese board!!! This place is very nostalgic as well!! If you're in Dripping Springs, you must stop in and have a drink at this establishment.
Love this hidden gem! The ambiance is very cool with comfy velvet couches, beautiful lighting and a badass mural, but what tops it all is the delicious creative craft cocktails and consistently great crew. Highly recommend this place!
Loved it! $10 bucks for my delicious Paper Plane, great service a quaint space with indoor and outdoor seating. Really, if you're in Dripping Springs and want a true craft cocktail, ya just gotta stop by here! Very chill place!
Decor is 5/5 without a doubt the service was subpar if not terrible. Besides the no social distancing aspect going on only 1 waitress serving 8 tables is insane. Let people order and pay at the bar otherwise have 2 people serve/waitress Tried multiple times to get the check or ask a question and we couldn't get the waitress since she was busy with other tables
Better cocktails & mocktails than any bar in downtown Austin. If you're looking for a Super chill vibe while drinking flavorful concoctions and listening to glass animals with palo santo in the air this is your spot. Be sure to check out the inconspicuous speak easy style bar hidden behind a bookcase while you're here too!
Exactly what dripping springs needed. Fantastic cocktails, super friendly and knowledgeable staff, awesome beer selection, and although we didn't try anything a nice food menu. They knocked the design out of the park and should quickly be a drip favorite. Definitely a must see in dripping
The service was amazing and the drinks were great. Violet was the best server ever. Thank you
Just moved to the southwest side of Austin was looking for a cocktail lounge. This place came up and looked great. However, when we showed up, the main bar was closed so there's a little sidebar you go to. It's more like a dive bar/pool hall type vibe. Did have a really good Old fashioned I will say.
Love this place! Cozy seating. Chill Atmosphere. Our waitress was wonderful. Stopped in for cocktails and conversations with the girls.
A very nice cocktail experience. Staff have been exceptional in checking on their customers. Overall, I'll be back whenever I'm social in Drip.
Fun little bar in drip. Great drinks and their apps are good during the day! Nice that we could order with a bartender walking around checking in and not just at the bar!
Absolutely the best craft bar in "Austin." Just stay in Dripping Springs and go here every night!!!! You will not be disappointed.
First time hanging out in the drip and this place is super cool! Super small, but it's done perfectly to hang out and play pool or watch your favorite game. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town.
What a nice place for a cocktail and a snack! This place was much cuter than the online posts depicted. Had a glass of Gruet Sauvage in a NICE glass. Hubby had a bourbon OTR and the lamb meatballs. Our server was awesome!
Super cool cocktail lounge in downtown Dripping Springs. The drink selection is innovative and tasty, and the food options are perfect for sharing and snacking. They've got a nice line-up of Belgian beers as well. One of a kind place on a quaint downtown Main Street.
Love the place...great drinks, service and good vibe.
Jesse was an incredible bartender we had the very best espresso martinis. It's clear he has a passion for what he does. Loved the Low key vibe. Do yourself a favor and stop in!
I highly recommend the cardamom cocktail. I also had the warm brie with pears and it was great on the Rosemary toast. I have met a friend here a couple times before and every time we both have enjoyed the unique variety of cocktails and the delicious gourmet hors d'oeuvres. I have never tried their beers or whines because I can't get past the unique cocktails but they do offer a good variety of beers and wines. This is a place to sit with a friend and enjoy a relaxed conversation. Although I always leave f
Very unique place. We had a great time!
This place has a great location is very small staff the lines are long to get drinks the atmosphere is pretty nice if you want to smoke you can go on the front porch however when you want to leave you got to walk through the smoke
What a hidden gem full of friendly staff and amazing cocktails. For downtown Drip and being on Mercer Street itself is a godsend. The staff is extremely attentive and engaging. Not only for locals but for visitors as well. It's a good time all around. You got to try the Espresso Martini, one of a kind.
This is THE coolest cocktail lounge in Dripping Springs. Mixologists are top notch. Note not calling them bartenders cause they aren't slinging beers and jack and coke. The folks make great mixed drinks! The lounge is funky and relaxing and a great place to gather with friends. If you can find the secret passage... there is a place where the vibe is a little more traditional bar feel with TV's and a couple pool tables.
Grawlix, I don't know what you're doing in Dripping Springs, but thank you so much for being here. This place is amazing. It's as if they took a craft cocktail bar from downtown Austin, and helicoptered it into the Drip. The atmosphere is great, they have a false wall that leads into an arcade, and I would put their bartenders against any of Austin's finest. Absolutely stellar drinks. I love this joint, and I can't wait to have another drink there.
Great cocktails. Had a paper plane which was delicious. They make excellent mock tails also!
Good cocktails, pleasant atmosphere, but it feels artificial and I am not sure how to best describe that feeling of artifice. For example, there is a fake wood structure and brick wallpaper. There's a skeleton holding a comic book and it is attached with a loose strand of duct tape. I liked it a lot, I enjoyed having festive and good craft cocktails in a less crowded, less Austin environment, but there is just an aspect of it that seems low effort and fake.
The girls and I got together one afternoon to catch up. I didn't know this place existed, but I do now! It is old-world Victorian charm with secret doorways a n d wonderful staff. Check it out! You will not be disappointed.
Love this place! A Gemini's dream- one side laid back and one side fancy! Great service & friendly staff- will be back soon!
A #*%&@** awesome cocktail lounge in the heart of Drip! A fun spot to grab a stellar cocktail and kick back. Good atmosphere and well done drinks. Chill out in the lounge or find the secret door to the arcade.
Went during the early evening. Atmosphere is fun & quirky with comics on the walls (as it should ??). Staff is friendly & attentive. Drinks match the atmosphere but add in delicious! Highly recommended!
This was a unique and fun place to happen upon. Very eclectic and vibey. It's the little details that make the experience go from cool to really awesome. The cocktails are beautiful, like little works of art in a glass. They taste fantastic too. The different pieces of art or decor, a hidden bookcase door to the other side of the bar, the comic strip wall, all of it comes together in a way I can't really describe. It feels like a gloomy or drab elegance. We tried several cocktails, and a few different food
You enter this wonderful bar thru the main door....or you can look for the secret entrance! Awesome place, great atmosphere.
The coolness factor at Grawlix Cocktail Lounge, is through the roof and a pleasant surprise in the middle of Dripping Springs! Our little town, now has a posh little place to enjoy a creative cocktail in a fun setting! The menu offers something for everyone, whether you're looking for a drink or a little nibble! This is a great place to come relax and enjoy!
I'm a bartender for a living, I pass through this town all the time and I have to say this is the coolest bar I've seen in a long time! Well done owners ??
I read some of these reviews and it is not at all what I experienced! This place is a scam!!! First, if you are going to charge $16 for a cocktail with 4 liquors in it, don't put 2.5 ounces in total into a little kids dark plastic cup and call it a day. Two sips it was gone. I asked others sitting around us and they all had the same complaint!! They were like yeah, the wine pour here is even worse. They could fill the cup with some ice or anything if that's how cheap you are, but to me this 1/4 volume
Wonderful atmosphere, cocktails, and bartenders! Kind of pleasantly shocked how great this place is. Cocktails were exquisite, interesting, refined, and delicious. They have good bar snacks too
We had the most beautiful evening at Growlix... the folks are so nice. We sat outside and played games in the Courtyard... beautiful oak trees, nice breeze, good drinks. Just a peaceful, nice spot to chill in Downtown Dripping
Played pool most of the night. $1 a game isn't great, but it's a cash earner for them to be sure as nether of the two pool tables went unused all evening.
Great place to take your girlfriends or family that come to town. Love that they offer a more chill side as well for the locals. And the hidden door is awesome!
A unique little bar with 2 pool tables and interesting murals on the wall, decorated so cute! The owners really knew what they were doing when creating this little place. Inside and outside seating available. Friendly people. Bar food available.
Cool spot, one of few open late in Dripping Springs...
We were so excited to hear this place opened in Dripping Springs. We visited with friends from out of town. Unfortunately, we will never return. The staff was extremely disrespectful and unapologetic for offending our group. We will not ever be going back and suggest you look to other establishments when trying to enjoy an expensive cocktail.
Delicious and unique cocktails, wonderful environment and live music! Great service as well, can't wait to come back. They have a curated food menu as well!
Great place downtown Dripping, one side in a great cocktail lounge with plenty of couches and bar space.. and the other bar has a few pool tables and games. Great service.. Staff is great..
Cool place with crazy weird cocktails and fun artwork. There is a cool secret book shelf that opens up to another bar. Open later than most bars in the area.
The GM Rae goes above and beyond, she is amazing. Great place for date night!
Nice little cocktail bar. Very good drinks.
The drinks are phenomenal. Plus the ?secret door? is a super fun touch!
Love this little hidden gem in Dripping Springs. Great tapas, classy but chill atmosphere with a very impressive craft cocktail selection.
Such a cool spot in drip. Seriously probably the coolest. Great beer. Really friendly staff and it's wonderfully decorated.
Edit: they have changed the door guy and some of the staff and now the place is rocking again!!!!
Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. Food is ok but really the drinks and staff are the star.
If you're looking for a chill place to have a drink with a few friends, check out this cocktail lounge. They have great staff who did an excellent job recommending drinks during my bachelorette weekend!
Gotta get to Grawlix when you're in Drippin'! Great creative as delicious drinks. Cool atmosphere and a secret door.
Service it's great. The atmosphere is also amazing. All the hand-painted artwork for Grawlix"s is amazing. Love the drinks. Handcrafted cocktails at its best.
A must see if you're in dripping Springs. Amazing interior with such a unique atmosphere. It is honestly quite a marvel!
Delicious drinks in a fun atmosphere
Had a great evening, playing pool on the other side, lot of friendly people
Did not eat anything. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. It was a fun evening.
This place has great organic vibes And five star cocktails? Plenty of things to do here to entertain yourself and has a nice seating area outside I would definitely recommend to come here!
I love the drinks and amazing service. Plus being able to play pool or pinball is awesome in itself
Incredibly fun cocktails, eclectic comfortable atmosphere and the lady who waited on us was super amazing!
What a great place. Cool vibe! Great drinks! Amazing appetizers! Definitely a new go to place!
Place was great. Drinks were perfect.
So happy to have this awesome cocktail lounge in the heart of Dripping Springs! Great drinks, great service, great atmosphere!!
Amazingly cozy atmosphere. Great cocktail menu and great staff. Just what we needed in Drip.
This place is a total joke, they have you order & pay prior to them making your drinks. The staff are a bunch of ATX clowns i.e. they are smelly & slow!!! ??
Great local place with great local owners!
Only thing better than the drinks was the staff and the outdoor seating. Great night out.
The lounge is amazing. Great drinks, service, and atmosphere.
best espresso and dirty vodka martini I've had. also, wonderful people and service.
Very chill and laid back place! Michelle and Jade are great bartenders and fun to be around!
Great experience and atmosphere! Drinks are superb and would recommend the espresso martini!
The staff are AMAZING! Bonus: the drinks are too. Great atmosphere as well.
Nice spot for a cocktail. Appetizers would be nice...they could expand, crowded on weekends...
Love this place! We stop here once in a while for happy hour before dinner and it never disappoints.
Great mocktails, queso, and a super cute drag show!!
Pretentious, loud, bad music, rude. Can't order a drink at the bar unless you're sitting there. Hard to get a drink.
Cool spot with great drinks, speakeasy vibes, and a closing time hard to come by in Dripping Springs.
Very neat cocktail spot with a hidden speakeasy sports bar side. Go through the bookshelf and there it is
Cool spot and great old fashions and espresso martinis.
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
