Best

I went here for a first date on a Tuesday evening. Not busy at all, so the waiter gave us a bunch of attention. Maybe more than enough, he kept interrupting our conversation haha....

Worst

To sum up my experience at 219, a beautiful and swanky atmosphere was completely wasted by extremely rude and pretentious staff. I never plan to return and definitely would not r...

Better and better 8/12/2006

I first went to 219West when it was the trendy new bar and it was just that. Now it has settled into a truly class establishment. Great Happy Hour with some of the best food I've had since I've lived in Austin (all the little burgers are great and the asian fried tuna is amazing). The most amazing thing though is the service. In a town where adequate service is hard to find it is refreshing to find genuinely friendy and attentive service. 219 you just get better with age. Way to go. more

Cabernet poached pear is to die for. Lunch menu is incredible for the price. At lunch, order desert up front to save 10-15 min. 7/12/2006

Service incredible. Waitpersons are sweet and efficient, as well as utterly s--y. Couch tables perfect for special lunch dates. Non burger food is very, very good. First went with a group of 10 who have lunch together once a month: Never seen so many plates that looked licked clean! Shared a tuna stuffed tomato plate, asparagus with crab meat, and a cabernet poached pear with date. Just about the best food I have had in downtown at lunch! more

Great for happy hours and early evenings 12/20/2005

One of Austin's best kept happy hour secrets with 1/2 off appetizers and $4 martini shakers until 9pm. The ambiance is great. Once super trendy, now it's settled into a comfortable groove and isn't packed. The staff is super nice, always have the same excellent cocktail waitress who remembers me and my order. Music here always is great from live latin jazz ensembles on Thursday and DJs on the weekends. Not so loud that you can't talk over it, and there's always room to find a seat or place at the bar. Even better, the front patio technically allows smoking so you don't have to go without a drink! Pros: Happy Hour, Staff, Vibe more

Martini Lover 9/12/2004

Everything about 219 is great. I bring all my out of town guests here and they always feel the same. The entire staff makes you feel welcome and makes an attempt to get to know you. 219 is unlike anywhere else I have ever been to, in Austin. more

New happy hour spot 9/2/2004

I always have fun at 219 on the weekends, but last week some friends and I went there for happy hour. It was soo different than the weekend. We went on tuesday and they have 25 cent corndogs and burgers and cheap pitchers. The food was great. The little burgers are tasty. So we went back on Wednesday and there was a cool lounge singer and a wine tasting. The people there are so nice too. I love that bar. Pros: Food, value, good people more

Diversity 9/1/2004

I go in there on the weekends and always have a great time the music is great and the staff is amazing, but I discovered this week that their happy hour is the best in town, I didn't even know they had food. It was great they have these little burgers that ROCK! It's a completely different atmosphere than the weekends and we loved it. Mike is one of the best bartenders in town. Pros: Weekend dancing, food, happy hour more

Great Food, Great Happy Hour 7/12/2004

I think this place is very creative and a lot of fun. The menu is separated into different ""rooms"" though you can buy anything no matter where you sit. It's great place to go with friends to share a plate of mini-burgers, crab dip, or any other of the finger foods available. The waitstaff sometimes seems a little clueless - my order was messed up on two different occasions (same waitress?) - but both times the manager/owner came over, was extremely friendly, and took care of everything. On Tuesday they have 25 cent mini-burgers! Pros: Great Food, Varied Menu, Clever Concept more

Dreadful 9/28/2003

To sum up my experience at 219, a beautiful and swanky atmosphere was completely wasted by extremely rude and pretentious staff. I never plan to return and definitely would not recommend this to anyone. Advice to owner(s) and management: Revaluate your bartenders and their customer service/lack thereof. Pros: Good Atmosphere Cons: Rude Bartender more
