This is on Rainey St which is a grown up 6th street. This is a lively bar with a good area outside to sit and 'chat n chill' with friends. Make a reasonable cocktail but this is not a true Cocktail bar. Top Tip: You need to try the Donuts at the van in the entrance, just for the experience!

Well executed and very tasty cocktails. Talented bartenders. Saw a great live artist Drew Davis, a singer with a band including backup vocals. Awesome sound and cool place. Chill patio outside.

These folks are great. They were very accommodating of my husband asking for "make me a drink with *insert liquor here*, and he loved every one. There was a jazz band playing the night we were there, and they were fantastic. Our favorite Rainey Street spot!

Last week whilst visiting my Son, we stopped into the Halfstep bar on rainey. What a wonderful place. Ben Spr was our barkeep an he made a perfect Manhattan. He also customized our drinks since i prefer more Bourbon. I enjoyed it so much i ordered a second drink and we went back the next day. Thanks Ben for making my short stay in Austin complete!

Fun location with an indoor and outdoor bar, plenty of cocktails, full bar, beer, and wine from which to choose. Expansive outdoor area.

This makes for a great pit stop! First, Rainy Street is so cute, and you have to go by it! They have converted a bunch of homes into bars and restaurants and are clustered at the east side of town. The atmosphere is low key. Half step is a craft cocktail place, that has just the right amount of charm and coziness to make you feel right at home. The drinks are creative. The only downside is that it takes awhile to make the drinks! But grab a craft cocktail, sit outside on the picnic benches, and watch everyone walk by! It is a great way to pass an hour, and get a slight buzz!

it was my first time visiting this bar at the Rainey Street in Austin and it was awesome! The drinks were really good especially "Stone Fence" and we did try the draft cocktail? it was good but tooooo much ice. After drinking 1 sip and it was gone.. heeh maybe we drank too fast. But we love to visit again once we go back to Austin again.

We stopped by for a cocktail, we did not stay for more than one since it was so expensive. The patio was nice, we sat there for the drink and watched the foot traffic.

Rainy Street is awesome!!! I like it a lot more than 6th Street. It is an historic area of town and you are to feel as ignorant you are going over to a friends house for a drink
The first visit the bar tender suggested a Grapefruit Colins and it was delicious. I tried to order it again at other bars that week and nothing touched there’s (the ice cubes are very cool too)
The next night back a great band was playing along with a group of people swing dancing. They were so much fun to watch
I LOVED this bar and will head there first the next time I return
