"With hotels outfitted with impressive pools in both the Memorial area and the Museum District, Hotel Zaza offers some of the most enjoyable outdoor pool bars in town, with a cocktail menu featuring single and sharable servings to match. Score $20 Orange Creme-sicles and piña coladas, and enjoy light bites like the summery lemon ricotta dip and mini crispy Ahi tuna tacos topped with salmon roe. Dive into ZaZa’s weekly Sips at Sundown event, held every Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., with music sets and cocktails served poolside, and consider Memorial City’s cabanas for rent for added privacy for up to five people." - Brittany Britto Garley
