Ever need a drink where no one knows your name?  A place filled with danger and mystique?  May I suggest, perhaps, a bar in a building previously utilized by the US Air Force that served as the air command headquarters during the Vietnam War?  Yes?  Then come on down and  visit your neighborhood Roundagon!  

The Pentagon pales in comparison to this joint.  Can you get a whiskey sour in the Pentagon?  Okay, maybe you can, but you probably have to be wearing stars to get served up in that place.  Does the Pentagon have a big hole in the middle of it?  What?  I see...well....but it is not covered in glass and therefore is NOT an atrium.  So...haha!  

Only in Austin could you sit in such a bizarre ass place with a semi-decent drink, look up and see planes silently glide by overhead on their flight path leaving Austin-Bergstrom Airport  and be watched by bleary-eyed, out-of-town business women and men  wondering why you chose to drink at such a place as you contemplate looking through the janitor's closets for war relics.  The Roundagon is probably best described as an unholy marriage between a military base closing and creative planning developers who sometimes drop LSD.
