Malverde
Located upstairs from La Condesa Restaurant on 2nd Street, Malverde is a classy open spot for mixing it up with friends, enjoying local DJs or grabbing drinks before a show at the new ACL Live. The patio views of downtown are wonderful at nighttime, the indoor low-backed leather seating is plentiful and lush, green plants hang from the ceiling indoor and out. The wine selection has been narrowly selected for quality, and the Tex-Mex beer favorites are available by the bottle. If you're ready for adventure, however, we suggest trying one of the signature cocktails that showcase fresh juices, tequila and whiskey like the Malverde Margarita or the Watermelon-Elderflower Martini. They're so refreshing and flavorful, you'll forget they've got alcohol in them.
Keep tabs on Malverde's twitter to see what DJs are spinning each night.
