RULES & REGS

The Best Hotel Bars in Austin

"The Fairmont is around the corner from Rainey Street, but for those who prefer to avoid the bar district’s chaos while still grabbing a drink, this Downtown hotel’s chic rooftop bar has it covered. The cocktail list is full of Latin and Caribbean flavors and ingredients. Popular libations include the Acapulco Breeze with sotol, blanco tequila, banana liqueur, lemon, cucumber, and prickly pear; and the Bird of Paradise with gin, mezcal, Cocchi Rosa, green chartreuse, orange, raspberry, and chocolate mole. Bar bites like chips and guacamole, ceviche, and tacos with suadero or carnitas are also available. Cigar enthusiasts can partake in the loaded cigar menu, too, which includes recommendations for spirits pairings." - Taylor Tobin
