The Driskill

"It's like stepping into another era" say guests of this "wonderfully preserved" Downtown "landmark", cattle baron Jesse Driskill's 1886 showpiece turned "upscale vintage hotel"; here a "sophisticated" clientele (and a ghost) imbibe the "famously luxurious", "old money Texas" vibe in the "fine-dining" Driskill Grill (est. 1929), "swanky" upstairs piano bar with "drinks as strong as they are...
