DrinkWell cocktail bar and neighborhood restaurant, is celebrating its upcoming 10th anniversary with a specialty cocktail menu inspired by Taylor Swift, which will be available from February 28 to April 10.
With a decade-long presence in Austin, DrinkWell has been revered as a local institution that sets the standard for cocktail bars, offering a unique and engaging experience for both guests and talent. The team’s innovation and creativity with craft cocktails is evident in the limited-run anniversary menu modeled after Red, which also celebrates its 10th anniversary and was re-released as Taylor’s Version this year.
The Red (DW’s Version) menu features cocktails named after album tracks, including All Too Well made with Patrón Sherry Cask Aged Añejo, Highland Park 12 Year Scotch, Madeira Rainwater, pineapple amaro and wormwood bitters, with many more inspired options. The menu also includes two cocktails available in non-alcoholic formats: Holy Ground made with Slow Luck Non-Alcoholic Spirits, and “22” made with Seedlip Garden 108 and Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic.
When DrinkWell first opened in February 2012, it became one of the first elevated cocktail establishments outside of Downtown Austin and has since maintained its status as an integral member of the local and national beverage community. DrinkWell was named one of Food & Wine’s Top 100 New Bars in America in 2013 and has been consistently lauded as one of the best cocktail bars in Austin.
The anniversary celebration is just the beginning of DrinkWell’s new chapter. While guests can enjoy the Red-inspired, limited-run cocktail menu until April 10, the neighborhood bar is also undergoing a range of renovations to give the space a fresh look, beginning with a refreshed outdoor patio space to fit the neighborhood, designed by Cameron Campbell Landscape Architects.
