Driving home from Austin I just happened to see the place on the east side of I35. Initially I liked the design of the shopping center and happened to see the corner i.e. Rotunda Bar and Patio. The wife wanted to go out and I told her let's go check this place out. We made the 30 minute drive, parked, and found 2 seats at the ba, got here at about 10:30. The place is real nice! Very relaxed vibe. Two bartenders were slinging drinks, place was full of dudes with only a handful of ladies. We asked for a cocktail menu and was refereed to the vertical monitor that only displayed shots. Not really interested in shots as much as cocktails, but neither bartender could offer any.

Interested in learning more about possible drink specials throughout the week and whether or not they serve pitchers of beer...
   Read moreI actually really enjoyed this bar a lot, however, I feel like the bartenders made me feel like I was unwelcome. When I asked for a drink recommendation that was a promotion on the screen, she responded rudely saying “I Don’t Drink.” The establishment is very beautiful and clean. I was really surprised that the bar was nice and other than the bartenders making snide comments, and acting like we didn’t belong, we did enjoy ourselves. The owner was personable and polite, and took the time out to talk to my boyfriend and I. At the end of the day, I, believe that the service was mediocre, and it felt like we were inconveniencing the bartenders to make us drinks or...
