Saturn — Restaurant in Austin

Had the worst costumer service experience of my life here last night. I approach the bar and pick up a menu. After servicing majority male clientele bartender approaches me and says “Hey babe, what’s up?” I didn’t respond, and continued looking at the menu. Then, because it’s 20 degrees outside, I ask, “Do you have any hot beverages?” And he says, “Hot as in temperature?” and I respond yes, “Can you make a hot toddy?” And he says no. I try ordering another cocktail, he says they can’t do that either. I say, “Alright I’m going to spend some time looking at your menu.”

Another customer approaches the bar, another white male. I ask him, “What are you drinking?” and he says “Just a whisky sour, they can make anything.” To which I reply, “Actually they can’t, I just tried ordering two drinks and they couldn’t make them.” The bartender looks at the other male customer and says “She doesn’t realize we can make anything here and it will be great, she just doesn’t know what she wants and is hesitating.” I corrected him, that no, I do know what I want, they just weren’t able to make it for me. The bartender says, “It would take me 30min to boil water, I’m not going to do all that just to make you a hot toddy” and went on insulting my intelligence in the most condescending, sexist ways. At some point I said “Beyond this being sexist, this is terrible customer service” and I as I stood up for myself and the two male bartenders laughed at me, as well as another white male client sitting to my right. The cocktails start at $16 and they can’t even make a Hot Toddy. Stay away from this place, especially if you’re female. Not safe. Not fun. Super lame. There are much better bars in town, with bartenders who are respectful, and tea kettles for a cold...

I went to Saturn on a Friday night. First of all, there was nobody in there on a Friday night and this spot is located downtown. So that should tell you something. It smelled like dirty, moldy pizza, and I still proceeded to sit at the bar and get a drink. I tried to order a Miller light the classic of beers and of course they were out. All my hopes and dreams went down the drain. I was forced to settle for a Michelob ultra. After forcing myself to drink the ultimate diet beer, I cashed out and my friend asked the bartender for a recommendation on what bar we should visit next. This guy was so rude and for no reason, like literally unprovoked. I will never visit this smelly...

It’s Wutang night or 90s R&B/Hip Hop night? Either way I’m compelled to leave a review post kaytranada show bc it’s exactly what I wanted without knowing.

The seasonal cocktails overdelivered and I’m very impressed with the complex flavors that somehow stay rounded. I’m drinking something that tastes like vanilla cake frosting and I love it??? My previous drink had cacao, sarsaparilla, whiskey. The bartender is obviously talented and gives good energy.

Also +1000 for the fun Halloween decor I love it 🎃 🧛🏻‍♀️ 💀 I did have a hot dog and nothing special - it gave what it...
