    Indeed - this bar is the tiniest bar in Texas. In a state where everything is "bigger" this bar aims to take the opposing side. Which is quite Austin to do.

    We stopped by while on a pedal bike adventure. This bar was a welcome reprieve to the triple digit weather.

    All seating is outdoors. In fact, it's almost like a food truck for alcohol. So don't expect A/C. Unless you stop in their bathroom which happens to be the coldest bathroom in Texas.

    I had a cucumber chile margarita. It was good, but not as good as I was expecting. It could have used a Tajin rim (which they didn't have) and maybe even a little more cucumber and jalapeno. It just didn't have either elements to make it stand out from a normal margarita. Of course, the ice melts faster than you can drink a cocktail in this heat, so it ends up quite watered down after a few minutes.

    Overall though, I'd definitely return. Their flavored shots were nicely prices and sounded delicious.

    They say everything is bigger in Texas, but then....well, there's this bar! It's a fun place to stop and have a beer or drink just to say you did, but it is also legitimately a good place to relax and enjoy a nice evening outdoors in Austin.  It shouldn't be a destination just because of its novelty but alas, that's part of its charm!

    This is a tourist magnet. So if you arrive and there is a cluster around the bar be prepared to wait as they take selfies and ask intriguing questions like is this really the tiniest bar in Texas? Answer of course it is!

    There is a tiny indoor bar area but there is also a spacious patio complete with a big screen TV for Sat & Sunday football. Nice shot and a beer specials as well as local brews and a limited bar selection. I finally got to check mark it off my Sunday Funday to do list.
