Best Rooftop Bars and Restaurants in Austin | Eater Austin

"Downtown Fairmont Hotel’s seventh-floor bar boasts an outdoor area that is also one of the best spots to gaze down upon Austin’s busiest districts. Watch the action in Downtown, Red River, and Rainey while dining and drinking al fresco. Expect refreshing and light dishes like scallop ceviche, oysters al pastor topped with charred pineapple, watermelon aguachile, and tuna tostadas, and tropical sips like a mangonada and a Hibiscus Breeze made with rose. Depending on the season, the hotel frequently turns the space into a pop-up bar, with recent events including a sports bar prime for football season and a tiki bar." - Darcie Duttweiler
