This German
bier-
garten
has been around forever - or at least since 1866 - and its proximity to the capitol
building has made it the traditional favorite of politicians. (Writer O Henry was also a
fan.)
Malverde
( 512-705-0666; 400 W 2nd St; 10pm-2am Thu-Sat)
Handcrafted specialty cocktails and DJs set
the tone for this swanky upstairs bar (it's right above La Condesa restaurant). The outdoor
patio with artful plant formations is a great place to watch the city below.

With a legendary jukebox and even better bur-

head for the back patio.
