Red Headed Stepchild
The cocktails run to milk punch served with a side of Trix cereal.1
Good to know
- Getting in: the door is a business called Floppy Disk Repair Co, which has an old-school landing page about repairing your floppy disks and is a cover. The password changes monthly. Ask a bartender at one of the neighbouring bars, or once you are in, get on the bar's text list and it arrives each month.1
- The room: small and loud, chair swings along one side, exposed brick, red light.1
- No rating, and that is not a verdict. The Infatuation rates only places where you can eat a full meal, so there is a byline here and no number.1
- Hygiene: Austin Public Health scored the kitchen 93 on 16 April 2026, 93 on 27 June 2025 and 88 on 3 January 2025, on a scale where 70 is the failing line. The city files it under the speakeasy name, not the cover.2
- What is not known: no published Austin source covers the cocktail programme beyond that one punch. This is short because the record is.
Verdict
could-visit — A downtown speakeasy behind a fake floppy-disk repair business on East 5th, with chair swings, exposed brick and a red glow. The one drink anybody has written down is a milk punch served with a side of Trix cereal, which tells you the register the bar is playing in. The password changes monthly; get on the text list or ask a bartender next door. Almost nothing else about the programme is published, and this entry says so rather than filling the gap.
