Straight outta twin peaks sorta vibe. Big thanks to the bar back who helped me with some local repair shop recs.
This place has potential, cool speakeasy vibes behind a bookshelf who wouldn’t love that!
Unfortunately, the cocktails fell short, ordered pretty simplistic drinks like Paloma’s. Probably one of the worst Paloma’s I’ve had unfortunately, it’s drinkable, but balance was very off basically tasted like Sprite. Also, not a big deal I came during happy hour and didn’t get happy hour prices, but wouldn’t have minded that if the drinks were actually up to par.

This is such a cool place to visit when coming to Austin! A must stay for sure! I absolutely LOVE this Firehouse Hostel & Lounge! The ambiance is like that of a speakeasy and time warp but a new classic vibe!
Was really crowded, came in ACL weekend 1, but the staff was very friendly and the drinks were awesome!
It was really easy to get into the speakeasy, sheesh you can hear the music the minute you walk into the hostel.
It's straight to the right when you walk in, hidden behind the bookshelf wall.

I had a okay experience at Firehouse Lounge; the atmosphere truly captured the essence of a speakeasy with its hidden entrance behind a bookcase. The music choice was great. The drinks were decent, although they could have been better. I ordered the Old Fashioned. However, I did notice that the bartenders seemed a bit unhappy and not very friendly during my visit.
My first time at a hostel. Enjoyed my stay and met some interesting people at the common kitchen area. Chose the female dorm room option, which made me feel comfortable. Located at a busy and happening place in Austin so it was fairly convenient for me (Also be aware that it won't be super quiet at night). Basic amenities were available.
Very nice spot, it was suggested by a friend and we were very happy with our cocktails. Bar tender recommended a few, which we happily tried, and it was delicious. Atmosphere overall is cozy yet the place has character and good music. A very good choice for enjoying some drinks with friends.
