Perfect vibe, outstanding & knowledgeable service, huge selection. No mix drinks. Just 1oz pours. Not the place to go if you just want to rip shots, but you can if you insist... please dont

Awesome and unique experience to grab a neat mezcal drink with a couple of friends. The bartender pours single shots of any mezcal (they have a wide variety of classic mezcals to unique and rare mezcals); if you don t know what to get, the bartender will pick something out that s right for you. And to bring out the flavors of the mezcal, you ll get an orange with dried worms / salt / spice to eat. Highly recommend this as a cozy unique spot to highlight Austin s bar scene.

If you re wanting an experience, come here and make sure Sean is the one helping you out. Came here on a whim with my wife and was floored by the service provided. Sean was knowledgeable, passionate, and just genuinely amazing to talk to. 10/10 recommend if you re visiting Austin and enjoy a Mezcal experience, or if you re looking to impress a date. We will be back. P.S. Sean deserves a raise. Seriously, he s incredible.

Super interesting concept and intimate experience if youre looking for mezcal in Austin. The bar itself is inside and immediately upstairs after entering the larger Whislers bar. Mezcaleria has very limited space at the bar, and when we went it was extremely hot and dark inside (the bottles were barely readable.) Service was also slow - however I will say that once we did get service the mezcal we tried was delicious and the prices not too bad. This was a cool spot, but be prepared to wait and likely stand while trying to get your eventual mezcal pours.

Incredible selection of top quality mezcals. Bar tender was very knowledgeable as well. We told him a couple that we like and asked for a recommendation to try, he nailed it and picked one that was perfect for our taste.

Man I love Mezcal, and if u do to then this place is a must if your in Austin. Ive never been to a place like it. Super small, super chill n the smoothest, most flavorful Mezcal Ive had. Very limited hours so plan accordingly. U wont regret it!

High volume + tight spaces + all the mezcal your soul desires = a must stop for serious agave fans, but make sure you pick your spot. Not so secretly situated above righteous cocktail lounge Whislers, this mezcal-focused postage stamp sanctuary delights patrons with generous pours of the plant based nectar of the gods. Fear not if you re new to the spirit or just curious, the highly knowledgeable bartenders will happily guide you in the right direction based on your preferred tastes, from the cheesey/funky raicilla La Venonosa Orange to special ocasión Pechugas to daily drivers like organic Montelobos, all served up in traditional veladoras. Taking off one star due to the space and amount of Sat night bro s filing in to do shots...keep moving boy-o s, this ain t for shooting! Prices are a slightly high but then again so are these bottles from the get go. If you re looking for an experience, I recommend going before 7:30p on a Sat night for the most face time with the one bartender to sort through your options. Oh, and Mezcalería is ONLY open Fri & Sat.

Wide variety of mescal in addition to other liquor choices. Welcoming and friendly bartenders. It got crowded quickly, so be ready for the line. It s also noisy a bit, however no more than a typical bar. I appreciated the candlelight and palo santo aroma.

I went here to try some mezcal. I asked if they had any made in Guatemala, where I am from, and I was informed by the bartender that mezcal is a propiatory brand from the US and was created from champagne and tequila. Que? If you are going to exploit a product from my culture at least make the hipsters you hire to sling it learn a little about it.

A++ in the middle of all the same thing, this place stands out. It is a bit hard to fine as it is above Whislers. So walk through Whisler and up the stairs on the patio. The size of queen bedroom, so charming. Realize this is a Mezcal tasting bar, meaning not cocktails just straight mezcal tasting. Even if for just one, a must stop.

A great place to learn about Mezcal! Our guide was super knowledgeable and was able to quickly zero in on varietals that both fit our conceptions of mezcal and others that refined those notions to expand our experience of the wonderful world of mezcal!

For a Mezcal drinker, its tough not to love this place. The bar downstairs is fun. The Thai food truck made me weep from the spiciness of the Waterfall Pork. The girls are pretty. But the Mezcal bar is the real star.

This hidden little Oaxacan gem nestled above Whislers is an authentic taste of the land of mezcal! Came here one evening to sample their wares and just like any place in Mexico, the posted hrs are guidelines...8pm really means 8:20. I loved it the moment I walked across the threshold! It was so fantastically true to type to some of the hole in the wall mezcalerias Id visited throughout Oaxaca! It is so rustic and intimate...seriously, 10-15 people tops in here before it starts to get very mano larga. Sean, the man behind the bar, is very well versed in his mezcals and was able to make excellent recommendations for our little group based on price, previous experience w/mezcal, and taste. I also love that they have the authentic clay pot copitas! The best part of my visit there was seeing the amazing spanish-style guitarist Luis Canuelos! The perfect place to enjoy his amazing skill up-close and personal! If you are looking for something cultural and exotic off the beaten E 6th path, then Tobala is it!
