Last night at the Eleanor, Austin's best and brightest in the bar industry gathered together to celebrate the second annual Time Out Austin Bar Awards. These awards are a chance for us to honor the best bars, bartenders and cocktails in Austin right now, all of which are nominated and voted on by a panel of industry experts. It's also a chance for us to party, which we did with the help of our Bar Awards sponsors: William Grant & Sons featuring Monkey Shoulder and Milagro, and Segura Viudas, who all made special cocktails (or provided the brut) for the event.
After kicking the night off with plenty of drinks, we made our way to the Eleanor's dance floor to announce the winners. The best part about the evening? Every nominee and winner was met with a rousing cheer, proving once again just how much support and admiration the Austin bar community has for everyone in it. Check out our photos from the awards below, and be sure to hit up all of our winners—and nominees—for a celebratory drink.
