The Austin American-Statesman's Emma Janzen picks five bars that "changed the drinking scene in 2012." On her cocktail-heavy list: Midnight Cowboy, Drink.Well ("the American pub delivers on every level"), Weather Up, 400 Rabbits ("promises a studied approach to tequila") and Handlebar. Craft beer gets a nod with her look forward to the Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co. [Austin360]
