Powder Room sets a phone check at the door: guests check in their phones before entering. Velvet drapes, low lighting, and slow-tempo music shape this downtown Austin speakeasy, keeping attention on the cocktails and room. Its daily happy hour runs from 4 to 6 PM, an early-evening window before the venue's late-night hours.
