What I thought was going to be a fun experience turned out to be an out of this world time thanks to JoJo! He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and educated on mezcal. He not only has a ton of education on mezcal and tequila, he also makes killer cocktails! This was just a few of the ones he made us that night. We will definitely be visiting JoJo again and his incredible cocktails.

JoJo was the best and made us custom drinks all night long. Truly a delight and will come back anytime I'm in town!

Jo Jo serves up amazing infused mezcal drinks! He is so friendly. Highly recommend!

Excellent cocktails, personalized experience, and friendly staff! Definitely coming back the next time I’m in Austin

Beer was cold but the tacos were terrible. They took 15 minutes to come out and when they did they were not even hot. The tortillas were straight out of a bag, and not heated. Any decent Taqueria would spend the time to warm up the tortillas, and the best places know to put the corn tortillas on an open flame for a little bit. On top of that way too much salt, and no salsas.

Jo Jo is literally the 🔥🔥🔥 bartender!! He makes incredible drinks and is soooooooo welcoming!! There is literally no better place to go in Austin and no better bartender in the world!!! You better come see my boy!

Tacos, Mezcal and Jo Jo — my best Austin experience 😍

Jojo was a great bartender. His ‘special’ margarita was very tasty - not to spicy but with great flavor. And the tacos were delicious.

Wonderful cocktail bar! The drinks are amazing and the service is even better. We got the El Diablo and the Clover Club. Jojo is an amazing bartender, he made the drinks excellently, was a great conversationist, and gave us such awesome information about Mezcal. All around a fantastic experience!

LOVE. Jojo killed it, best drink I’ve had. Ask for the Diablo! 30% tip feels right.

I am just beginning my adventure in tequila and Bar 508 was a fantastic start. The bartender was great and was able to provide some great recommendations. Tried a custom made drink by the bartender, an old fashioned with tequila, and a fantastic Smokey mezcal. Went back a 2nd night and Matt was my bartender. He was fantastic and made some great recommendations and was fun to talk with. Wish I lived in Austin to enjoy this place more often.

Funky/fun ambiance in an old restored house connected to Pelon's Tex-Mex with great outdoor patio and a few bar games! Ask Natalie the sweet bartender to tell you the story about her very creative cocktail pictured..or try the Mezcal twist on an Old Fashioned, super good!

Hidden gem in Austin. This place is on a whole other level. Drinks and tacos are amazing, incredible intimate atmosphere with lots of outdoor spaces and a fireplace. I’ve been coming for years and will come back next time I’m in town. Shoutout to Jojo, best bartender in ATX.

Was here last night. Its rare for me to do reviews but here we are. I went with my boyfriend and was blatantly ignored several times at both bars. The bartender at the wrap around bar ignored us and several others for upwards of 20 minutes. We left and went to the other bar where they again ignored us for just as long. Because we’d already put our names down we decided to stay. We went back to the first bar and was ignored again… so we left and went to Charlie’s. This is my first time in Austin. Maybe it was a busy night (though it didn’t look like it at all. Seriously)… but I’m not sure if this place is terribly friendly to LGBTQ people. Just a hunch.

Had a wonderful time here last night. I don’t usually drink mezcal but the bartender (Michael?) convinced me to try it again. Will definitely be back.

Funny (peculiar) bar arrangements, with the menu for the cocktails only available at the restaurant next door, that this is a Mezcal bar, but other basic drinks are available. Mikel was a superb host. A mixologist, proud of his craft, he offered a special concoction of his own, after asking if, as a new customer, I trusted him. I let him mix a special drink, very fairly priced, and was delighted with the result, to henceforth be known as "Scott's Drink." I told him of the legacy the Vieux Carre enjoys, first served at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans in a bygone era of very different social media for building upon such things. The Bar 508 Mezcalarito could, in 100 years, may well have borne such a treasure on this early September visit. ASK FOR this elixir, by name. 🙂❤️🍹.... or just go to enjoy a good mezcal in a simple, down home, dive bar atmosphere with friendly service, adjoining the Pelon Tex Mex restaurant, whose fare we thoroughly enjoyed in the dining room next door.

Went there a few nights ago with my friends. Very nice little bar, a lot of drinks based on the mezcal. Even tho I don’t like mezcal, the bartender, Michel (I think) been very helpful with drink choice. My friends loved it, thank you for the great service.

Excellent service especially from Mikel! Unique cocktails, trivia nights, and great vibes all around.

Good cocktail but not the best place on a rainy day. Small covered space and only a few heaters

One of my favorite places to hang out and relax. The atmosphere in calming & the staff is attentive. Great place to unwind.

Loved this place, it's a cool bar with a great concept. The cocktails are really, really good and Kelly is a great bartender. Must definitely stop by for a drink!

Drinks are a bit pricy and I would say the menu of signature drinks could be considered limited, but this place is so darn cool! The drinks are truly great and the vibes? Even greater. This is the type of place that makes Austin weird. The decor is a little spooky & cultured. The place is also comforting and quiet, you’ll forget Dirty Sixth is around the corner

Driving from Round Rock just to check out this place, I was disappointed there was a large party reservation when we got there. The manager/bartender that greeted us went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience regardless. I want to personally say thank you. You all were awesome and everything we drank was just as amazing! Very much appreciated!!! 10/10 Highly Recommend! Shout Out to our bartender, drinks were freaking exceptional!!!

Great atmosphere and great drinks! Bartenders are super nice! Love it, great to go grab some drinks with friends

Excellently crafted drinks and a very knowledgeable bartender made this an amazing experience. The vibe of the place was also very laid back and comfortable. I'll be back if I'm in the area again.

Awesome place, delicious food and the pitcher Margaritas are a must.

Loved the cocktails. Super chill place and the bartender knows her stuff about Mezcal. Solid taco menu

Sad overpriced drinks. Bar staff overwhelmed, felt sorry for them. Pretty pleasant patio and second floor bar seating. Bar staff have to make all the drinks for the attached restaurant and I think just throw together what they can to not drown under the orders. So many better places to go on Red River, don't come here.

The bartender was very rude to me! I was finishing my beer. It was after 10 pm, and I can understand she wanted to close up, but she didn’t need to yell at me “you can’t sleep here!” She could’ve spoken to me nicely and asked me to leave because they were ready to close up and she wanted to go home. It was uncalled for.
