Lounges in Austin, TX

“Went to Eddie V’s Downtown Austin with a group and had a great experience. The service was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly for a larger table.

The food was really good. I had the sea bass, which is one of my favorites anywhere, and it did not disappoint. We finished with the crème brûlée with berries, which was light, not too sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal.

Great spot downtown for groups, good food, and excellent service.“

“Our waitress Jade & the bartender Vanessa were friendly and attentive! The drinks were phenomenal and the service was even better. Jade was helpful in our drink recommendations and food suggestions. I had the buffalo cauliflower and ahi tuna tacos. Perfect rooftop vibes. I’ll be back!“

“We came here for drinks and apps one evening and was wowed by a beautiful sunset over Austin. We snagged a seat around a firepit, which was nice as there was a slight chill. The drinks, too, helped warm us up as we tried two different dips to go with the nacho chips. This is an expensive view, don't be fooled, but an excellent one if you are in the area.“

“We love this place! We’ve gone for the Body Rock events a few times and had a blast. The bar is small but they usually have three or four bartenders that keep the line moving. Water is available at your convenience and trust me you’ll need it! It’s a bit toasty when you get everyone dancing together! Plenty of parking, great outdoor patio, food truck in the back too.“

“Great venue, wait staff, crowd and awesome local bands. We LOVE Rhinosaur, Type A, Weak Knights, Spazmatics and Konami code. If you haven’t been, you definitely need to get out more!!“

“This facebook page is amazing about bringing cats to comedy and fun! I highly recommend this place to people who LOVE CATS!“

“Can’t wait to book again !“

“Drinks are definitely overpriced, small size. Honestly, happy hour is the only time it feels worth it. Bartender wasn’t the most welcoming, sadly! a smile would’ve made the experience better. The pool’s more for looks than lounging, it’s super shallow. And heads up! just snacks, no real food. To be real, I’d only come back for happy hour or a special event.“

“Max was a badass. All the drinks were fabulous!! The food was good too...especially the dynamite shrimp! We're Austin locals and this place is worth the visit weather you're from here or visiting.

We'll be back!“

“Good views, good service. I highly recommend this place. 😊“

“Great staff, beautiful lounge and very clean. Great date spot“

“Good service, drinks were okay. I liked that it was happy hour and a decent selection was half off. The music was so loud at 5 pm and hardly anyone was there. I didn’t understand why there were bouncers there but maybe this is a young person club spot and I’m just old. Never the less, staff was friendly and kind.“

“Great place, brought my wife for our anniversary and we really enjoyed ourselves. I reserved seating next to the balcony and had an amazing view of downtown Austin. The staff had really great customer service and service was quick and we received our drinks and food in a timely manner and not to mention they have us a complementary glass of champagne for the both of us. I recommend this place and will be returning.“

“The Live Oak Bar at the Four Seasons Austin is the definition of refined relaxation. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped in a calm, polished atmosphere that feels both luxurious and unpretentious. The interior is tastefully designed—subtle textures, warm lighting, and a layout that invites conversation or quiet reflection. Step outside, and you’re met with a breathtaking view of Lady Bird Lake framed by lush greenery—an ideal backdrop for an afternoon cocktail or a slow, serene evening.

The drinks were exceptional—each one crafted with precision and intention. Whether ordering a classic or something more inventive, the bartenders delivered balanced, elegant cocktails with a strong sense of character. There’s a quiet confidence in their craft that really stood out. I appreciated how knowledgeable and personable they were, always ready to explain a flavor profile or offer a recommendation without being pushy or distant.

Heather, our server, was truly wonderful—gracious, professional, and incredibly kind. She anticipated our needs without hovering and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It’s rare to encounter someone who makes such a lasting impression through subtle, thoughtful service. Everyone we encountered, from bar staff to management, carried that same standard of hospitality—attentive without being performative, present without pressure.

This isn’t just a hotel bar—it’s a full experience of Austin at its most elegant.

Whether you’re a guest or just dropping by for a drink, Live Oak sets the bar (literally) for how great service, stunning ambiance, and beautifully made cocktails can come together. I’ll absolutely be returning.“

“Good was DELISH!! Music was CRAP! We’re Mexican sooo we wanted Peso Pluma #ThatDidntHapen But as cooky that THEY are Food, Drinks and place are INSANE! If ur a foodie COME it’s all about 🫵🏽“

“We loved the quaint atmosphere and the specialty cocktails. The bar crafters were amazing!!! Check it out!“

“Love this place! Love the coffee drinks and all the good food! I also love the cushiony atmosphere too!“

“This place has a great vib. Very different from the typical Austin bar. No giant screen tvs. Not a cowboy bar. Mellow music on Wednesdays. People dress nicer. Big city feel. More sophisticated. Intimate two person tables. I will be back for sure. Great cocktails.“

“My favorite restaurant in the Arboretum. The crab cakes with their tarter sauce is to die for. The bartenders always remember your name and your favorite drink. It's small and cozy. A true gem that I love. The steak is beyond delicious. Valet or park yourself. Love this place!“

“Very professional staff and laid back setting.“

“Enjoyed the scenery and the atmosphere!“

“Had a great experience at Bar AC with Jerome being our bartender. He took extra time and care to make our favorite cocktails and even recommended some he thought we would like. Tried the blood orange margarita and it was excellent. Thank you Jerome for making our Friday evening that much more special.“

“Dive bar vibes with a really interesting and well executed food and drink menu. Some indoor seating but a huge back patio area. Very dog friendly, cool clientele. They do various theme nights like Meatless Mondays and Tuesday Steak Nights. Service is bar-service only but friendly and capable“

“Péché is a cozy, vintage-style cocktail bar and French restaurant that oozes charm. The cocktails are crafted with care — balanced, creative, and strong in all the right ways. The food is rich and indulgent, from the duck confit to the mac & cheese with truffle oil. It’s dimly lit, romantic, and full of character — the perfect spot for a late-night drink or intimate dinner.“

“Incredible Deftones Album Release Party for “Private Music”! Great sound system, great bar food (kitchen in-house) incredible bartenders (Molly😊) and did I mention that there’s a sweet-ass record shop here too(?)! If you haven’t been here, you don’t know what you’re missing! Visit their website for the latest release parties, live music, recording sessions, etc., etc. This is Austin at its finest!“

“Wow! What a cool hotel! AND noon checkout?!!! Sweet! I’ll be back!“

“I love this place specially the staff because they are kindness, polait and be able to support you with resources that you need A+ to Ashlyn , Kelly and the manager Howie for helping me when I really need it .Also, Alexia always have a smile to the customer.You will feel at home .Nice place to stay and enjoy the art and 🎶. Close to Good restaraunts including vegetarian food , pharmacy and grocery store too. Also, near to museums, capitol state ,and bus stop, stop thinking twice. Price are incredible!😊“

“What you see is what you get, but the staff is great and they are kind and welcoming to musicians of all stripes, unlike a lot of Austin’s venues. The acoustics are surprisingly good - my old band recorded 2 live albums there and they sounded as good as anything else we did.“

“This is my FAV place in Austin to date. I love the atmosphere and the staff is always on point.“

“Nomad (formerly Knomad) is definitely an Austin Weird vibe.

If you want great service, an ok selection of alcohol, a broken patio table (pictured), and a couple of highly self-conscious comics looking for open mic-style practice this is the place to go on a Tuesday.

They laid into the audience so hard I wouldn't have been surprised if we saw Will Smith v Chris Rock round 2..

Comic POV:
No one crying laughing or rolling on the floor, how dare you two patrons sit by the stage seating and order drinks at this bar. You should be worshipping my stellar performance. You will now endure my wrath with awkward and unnecessary attacks on your personality.“

“I don't get out often and I'm not much on being around large groups of people. But for being my first time here I was definitely impressed and I will definitely be coming back . Great service staff is very helpful and attentive food is good and reasonably priced. And the atmosphere is phenomenal and that's coming from an introvert lol. If you're in Austin TX you should stop by.“

“Ok, the service I rated it low due to no one attending the reservations desk. I waited a long time. Thankfully Anthony, one of the servers noticed and he gladly took care of me and gave me outstanding service. I will request for him anytime I'm there (which is often).“

“Such a modern fun hotel .. super fun“

“Very chill and comfy-feeling bar w/stage. I drove down from Dallas to see a few bands play, and the vibe was awesome. The door guy was patient with me as I paid the cover and was nice. The bartender was very nice as well. Food from Marinara Miracles was SO GOOD.

There’s plenty of seating all over, upstairs and down. They’ve got pinball and arcade games in the main bar area, and pool and air-hockey upstairs.

Overall, a really nice dive. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Austin.“

“Cool low-key bar with free pool on Tuesdays the tunes weren’t bad either“

“A very chill lay back type of vibe place especially if you like hookah.“

“Can’t wait to book again !“

“Best bartenders and great jukebox.“

“Can I just say that my waitress, Ariana had the most immaculate service I've experienced in Austin. I really enjoyed my time here but coming down to the lobby and continuously seeing her made our stay so joyful for us. Will be coming here for now on when traveling. Pretty Latina!“

“Great place to meet up with family and friends!“

“Mike Coyle is the best bartender in the Austin area by far! People go to the Mohawk just to meet him and experience the magic… Mohawk, you’ve got a real draw here - be proud! 🍺“

“Six ladies had lunch and a planning meeting at Plate today and the food and service provided by Marco & Ryan were both wonderful! We were seated at a nice round table so that we could talk and it was perfect for our group. Plate is always a great place for lunch or dinner and now they’re serving brunch on the weekend!“

“The food was really good.“

“Gretel was INCREDIBLE!!! My 2 gfs and I walked on Rainey St and she told us about this new rooftop. Music, food, drinks, bartenders were amazing. It’s fun, lively, and a must!! Meal was best I ever had. Bartender was so attentive and puts on a show!!! Truly amazing!!!! Oh…. The view !!!! “

“Always my go to place. Great service with a nice neighborhood atmosphere.“

“The burger was amazing and great onion rings.“
