    The ambiance of this place is amazing at night. With great cocktails, interesting music, eclectic decor, and the light smell of wood/herbs giving it the chill vibe of a speakeasy. It's definitely worth checking out if you're visiting Austin for the weekend

    This used to be one of my favorite spots in Austin. I really loved it. My girlfriend doesn't drink and always loved the mocktails they made.

    Fast forward to 2 nights ago - I wait in line behind seemingly 300 influencers while the bartender dapped up with any Chad that made eye contact with him and held up the line indefinitely. When I finally place my order and ask for a mocktail he says, we "don't do anything without alcohol here." Which is funny because he then proceeded to make me the weakest old fashioned I've ever had in this town. Not worth $5 let alone the $15 I paid for it.

    This place has unfortunately jumped the shark and gone full LA. Where their used to be friendly staff, a good vibe, and great drinks we've now got an expensive disappointment. Do better, Whislers.

    This is the spot! It’s in a great area close to shopping and other good Austin staples. The back yard is incredible. Massive outdoor seating with comfy lounging couches and chairs. Perfect for the hot summer days as there’s loads of shade with the deck built out underneath the massive trees. We came for cocktails and they were amazing. The food looks good too!

    Great outdoor area, the vibe and decor inside were very cool with high ceilings, exposed stone and a chandelier. The cocktails were excellent and pretty reasonable during happy hour! We had the queen bee and the sun stone—both were excellent—worth a stop if you’re looking for a good cocktail in Austin. Also had a food truck serving killer burgers

    Simply put, over priced fusion food. Don't get me wrong, it tasted acceptable, but it wasn't fine dining for the price you pay. The drinks are exorbitantly priced. The food was basic fusion food. The papaya salad just lacked typical Thai flavors. As if they forgot to add lime juice and fish sauce, basically, they forgot the sauce. It had zero spice, not that it needed to be spicy, it was missing that pepper flavor. We got three different dumplings. In the end, none had anything special. I could have gone anywhere else and got more for my money along with more flavor. The decor goes for an acute eclectic feel that gives it a casual feel, but yet you are going to pay fine dining prices. If you can get the dumpling anywhere, you better get an experience for the money you spend. Going here is less of a value, more of a donation.

    I love this place. They took so much care to make the atmosphere super bomb. The candles with the incense sticks over them to give an awesome scent. The decor is amazing and I feel like I’m in NOLA. The cocktails were so so good. Amazing. I love this place.
