Toast of the town: Drink Up Week has arrived

This week — Monday, July 22-Friday, July 26, 2024 — we’re shining a spotlight on the vibrant drink scene in Austin.

Drink Up Week is finally here and we have a feeling it’ll be the toast of the town.

Here’s the tea — today through Friday, July 26, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs, mixologists, venues, and beverages that make Austin go ‘round.

As you know, we’ve created an interactive map of can’t-miss deals offered by local businesses in Bat City. Here are the top deals our ATXtoday editors have their eyes on — and what they plan to pair with these drinks.

City Editors Morgan and Figi are eager to try $10 specialty cocktails and discounted bites at BOA Steakhouse from 4-6 p.m. They’re dropping in on Monday afternoon and have already planned their drink order: the Summertime Key Lime, Peaches n Dreams, Build Your Own Ranchwater, and BOA Smash sound equally scrumptious and refreshing.

Sushi Roku’s menu centers around izakaya-style pubs, which roughly translates to “stay-drink-place,” which are places to settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy time with friends.

As someone whose ideal happy hour includes a bite of sushi, Morgan’s also excited to pop over to Sushi Roku to grab a Roku’s Fusion for $10. It blends Tito’s Vodka, pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe, and watermelon flavors — which sounds like a perfect complement to a plate of edamame hummus and a signature roll.

Figi can’t wait for the $5 specialty cocktails and half off bites she’s going to snag at Skinny’s Off Track Bar with a few friends from college.

We hope you enjoy sipping your way through our city this week. Cheers to you and happy Drink Up Week, Austinites.
