DuMont's Down Low

DuMont's Down Low occupies the atmospheric basement of one of Austin's oldest surviving commercial buildings at 214 W 4th Street, in the heart of the Warehouse District's LGBTQ-welcoming nightlife strip. The mid-1800s brick cellar now holds a low-lit cocktail den lined with whisky barrels from Texas distillers, drawing a calmer, conversation-friendly crowd than the louder dance bars a few doors down. It appears on Visit Austin's guide to the Downtown & Warehouse District as part of the area's queer-friendly scene. Expect a carefully built cocktail list, late weeknight hours, and an intimate setting that works as a quieter counterpoint to the 4th Street clubs.
