About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
We strive to offer a relaxing, mature oasis in the midst of the 6th Street liveliness. Therefore, we do not allow smoking, guns, phone calls, laptops or rowdiness. If you must smoke or make a call, please step out into back lot. We ask that you keep your conversations at a reasonable level and enjoy fine cocktails and the finer company of your companions. While our cocktails might loosen inhibitions and the building’s past might encourage licentiousness, we ask that you refrain from excessive displays of public affection and unwelcome advances towards members of other parties. Reservations are for two hours. Should your table or room be available past your two hour window, you are more than welcome to stay longer. Parties larger than 8 can not be accommodated. All reasonable (and legal) services will be considered by your bartenders. If walk-in tables are available, the neon "vacancy" sign above the door will be illuminated. Please ring the buzzer marked "Harry Craddock."

    Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great atmosphere. We were a little disappointed in the fact that we could only be there a couple hours, we would stay all night is we could haha. Very cool place.

    They were very hospitable in that I made a reservation for two and last minute accommodated six of us. For that it made the night unforgettable to have all our friends join us! A big thank you to this establishment for the amazing service!

    This place is such a trip. Completely inconspicuous in the midst of the chaos of 6th street and and incredible atmosphere immediately beyond the front door. It has a very interesting floorplan and aesthetic that scratches my itch for unique architecture and interior design. Great ambience, low lights, candles, and all that make for one impressive date. You surprise them with a night here and you've basically got a foot in their bedroom door, you suave lover, you. But really, this place is fantastic, it's subtle, it's classy, the drinks are amazing, the staff is friendly and informative, but the tableside service is really what sets it apart. From what I gather, the house cocktails seem to range from about $12-$14, but for their quality, that's a damn bargain. Something worth noting that I wish I'd known prior (I suppose I could've asked) is that while not all drinks are made tableside, the ones that are don't cost more, which is nice. I'm not from Austin, but I visit about every year or two and I think I may have found a new tradition.

    Alexis was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. Our group of 6 had a fantastic time. Pricey but nice as a once in a while special treat.

    Midnight Cowboy is tucked away on dirty 6th, and you'd never know it was there otherwise. A wonderful cocktail bar with friendly staff, and great for special occasions or a date night. Get the cocktails with a plus sign next to them, and they'll come to your table and make it!
