Don't miss having a drink at Peche! Fantastic bartenders and cocktails! And the biggest Absinthe fountain I've ever seen!
Word to the wise on Peche: Owner Rob Pate is there almost every night, so when you arrive, ask for him. In lieu of a cocktail menu consultation, simply wave Rob to your table, and ask him to predict a drink that you will like. Rob is a libations soothsayer, and though this is an absinthe bar (Austin's first), the real treat is taking that first sip of a drink specifically predicted to suit your taste buds. This is how I discovered the (off menu) Fig Manhattan -- earthy, rich, and perfect.

Pre-prohibition goodness serving up the Green Fairy (Absinthe) accompanied by the old fashioned "drip system", the Hemingway w Chartreuse, and a selection of gins and bourbans that appeal to the most discerning of savants.
actually anyone who works at Peche is more than qualified to create a drink that is fit just to you!
Citysearch Editorial Review. With a pre-Prohibition disposition, the barkeeps here handle each pour of pseudo-illegal absinthe ever so gingerly as an ode to the olden times. Sure to gratify even the most snooty of drink snobs with their broad beverage carte du jour, Péché exists as the fail-safe option when handling wide-ranging tastes.
