Fodor's Expert Review Handlebar

Downtown with Sixth Street and Rainey Street

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

Easily found by the oversized mustachioed silhouette painted on the side of the building, this dapper downtown bar gives only a nod to the old world handlebar mustache—more importantly it pays homage to pre-Prohibition cocktails. It welcomes a wide range of patrons, local and visiting, and weekends are generally pretty busy. You’ll find a great selection of craft cocktails and local beer, as well as an outdoor deck, giant Jenga, and a photo booth.
