Austin Bar Recommendations

Austin has seemingly endless great options for grabbing drinks but I’ve compiled a list of some of our favorites by location, type of drinks, if there is food available, and what their patio situation is like for those beautiful Texas days!

Click the columns below in order to organize the bar list based on the categories. Or if you’re headed to a bar and wondering if they have food or what their patio situation is, use the search bar. If you’re on the mobile version of my site or can’t see all of the categories, click the green + sign next to the bar’s name to expand to view all the categories for that bar. Leave me a comment with your favorite bar that I should try out!
