What People Say

Guests rave about the chic rooftop setting, the inventive cocktails, and the friendly service. Many love the view over downtown Austin, especially at sunset. The poolside vibe adds a vacation-like flair, and the food—while light—is flavorful and perfect for snacking.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a rooftop bar, so it can get a bit warm during Austin’s hotter months—shade is limited. Also, while the menu is tasty, it leans light, so those looking for a full meal might want to grab dinner elsewhere after the show. As with many trendy spots, it can get busy, so consider arriving early if you're on a schedule.
