"Formerly an 1890s railroader hotel and warehouse, Native Hostel welcomes guests to East Austin in its boutique dorm-style accommodations and private suites. Nestled on the same property is its eclectically furnished, and spacious, bar and cafe. Open daily (the cafe from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the bar from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.), it’s a frequent space for music and art pop-up events and casual hangs with friends. The space — which has a six-seat, speakeasy-style omakase sushi restaurant, a backyard with food trucks, and a tattoo shop — is the perfect place for anyone looking for a unique and charming place to enjoy a cocktail (perhaps a spicy Milagro jalapeño margarita or classic paloma) in the city." - Cynthia Drake
