From the Austin Chronicle Best of 2002:

Best Place to Party Like It’s 2000 … And You Still Have a Job
Speakeasy
Some nights we just want to ignore that Intel fiasco in the middle of town. We want to stop searching HotJobs and Monster.com. We want to don a slinky outfit, spray on some perfume, and pretend we’re still living large, with stock options. On these nights, we put away the Top Ramen and head for the Speakeasy. Everyone is glamorous at the Speakeasy: Men flash gold jewelry, and women wear heels. They serve Bellinis and Cosmopolitans. Drink up, and dance the night away on the rooftop terrace. After all, the economy has got to pick up one of these days. Right?

412 Congress, 476-8017

Made me smile. In a melancholy way.
