Small Victory

Small Victory is an intimate classic cocktail bar tucked away in the heart of downtown Austin. This hidden gem offers a speakeasy experience with its discreet entrance - you'll need to climb a winding parking garage staircase to discover this cozy, attic-like space where the delightful aromas of rum and mint fill the air.

Once inside, you'll immediately feel the laid-back sophistication that perfectly captures Austin's unique vibe. The long, narrow space (about 800 square feet) creates an atmosphere that's both casual and refined, ideal for small groups seeking a quiet nightcap or a brief respite from downtown's hectic energy.

1. Exceptional craft cocktails, particularly martinis and Manhattans (complete with a helpful martini chart for novices)
2. All ingredients housemade - fresh juices, homemade syrups, and even fresh coconut cream
3. Delicious charcuterie boards prepared and sliced to order with marinated olives and house-made pickles
4. One of Austin's best happy hours, available every day including weekends

The unassuming yet talented bartenders create some of the best cocktails in the city, from classic frameworks to tiki-inspired creations like Singapore slings and hurricanes. As the evening progresses, the vibe becomes more upbeat, sometimes featuring DJs to get the party going. Small Victory truly stands as one of Austin's best-kept cocktail secrets!
