New Orleans
DuMont's Down Low
Beneath West Fourth Street in Austin's historic warehouse district, DuMont's Down Low channels the spirit of Blanche DuMont, a legendary figure from Austin's colorful late nineteenth-century past. The basement sanctuary reveals exposed brick and whiskey barrels from local distillers, setting the stage for one of Austin's preeminent whiskey and bourbon selections. Over eighty bottles and growing showcase serious spirits, while the warm inviting atmosphere proves that authentic speakeasies don't need theatrics. Upstairs, Chispas offers food, and happy hour Monday-Friday makes serious whiskey accessible. This is history served neat.
