Cocktails.
Emily Spicer/StaffEast Austin, a longtime stronghold of the Black community, has another exciting place to raise a glass. A new Black-owned speakeasy has opened in East Austin and it's a vibe. Located inside Victory East restaurant in East Austin, Busy Signal ATX is behind a black curtain with a pay phone wall that bargoers push to enter.
"When you walk in it looks like a diner, but you got to go through the hallway and find the telephone," @ATXAnt said in a TikTok video she took inside the Busy Signal. "It's such a dark and sexy space."

The low-lit bar features music-inspired craft cocktails named after songs like Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" and Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana." Drinks range in price from $15 to $18, along with a rotating selection of small bites on its menu, according to the Busy Signal website.

The video does show @ATXAnt entering through The Breakfast Bar. However the address at 1104 East 11th Street takes folks to the front of Victory East. It's unclear when the signs/restaurants changed.
The speakeasy also has a stage for musical performances. In @ATXAnt's TikTok video, she also mentions people can buy hookah pipes "if that's your thing," to smoke at select tables. Excited comments on the video range from user @ayechampagne saying, "I know that hallway, ANYWHERE! I'm glad it's still Black owned" to @teasiarenee commenting her plans, "Welp guess I'm going this weekend coming up" and @Kimshelle_ adding, "Def a vibe!"
