Think of a drinking town, and the city of Austin immediately comes to mind. We excel at day drinking, happy hours and inventive craft cocktails, just as much as we love our beer and wine bars and the incredible bartenders keeping us hydrated. Time Out Austin is honored to once again celebrate the people and places that make up our phenomenal drinking scene with our 2018 Bar Awards, consulting industry experts to build an all-star lineup of finalists and winners. Stay tuned for our 2018 Bar Awards nominees—and for May 22, when we'll be announcing this year's winners.
