Best Rooftop Bars and Restaurants in Austin | Eater Austin

"Per the name, “if you know, you know,” the ground-floor entrance to this rooftop bar at the Inn Cahoots in East Austin isn’t obvious, but it’s worth it once you find it. The rooftop lounge has great views, various seating spaces, and a fun cocktail menu. DJs, live music, and parties rotate regularly." - Darcie Duttweiler

A not-so-secret East Side rooftop lounge with sweeping downtown views, IYKYK sits atop locally owned Inn Cahoots. Covered by Eater Austin and backed by current hours, it skews late-night with DJs, strong drinks, and a true East Sixth energy.

Rating: 4.4/5 This spot definitely stands out with its eye-catching setup and rooftop bar. You enter through a well-lit entrance on the ground floor, walk past the food truck toward the giant "IYKYK" sign, then take a left to reach the elevator. The rooftop offers a spectacular view of downtown Austin. The dance floor is huge, though it was empty when we arrived at 9:30 PM on a Thursday. More people started coming in after 10 PM as we were leaving. The music was great, and my Mai Tai was solid (but I was pretty drunk so take this with a grain of salt). One thing to note--they have a communal-style restroom. Overall, it seems like a cool spot to wrap up the night, and I'd definitely bring friends here if I were in the area.

I always have a great time here. Views and vibes are immaculate just wished they would change up their music. The bartenders are great especially Alicia. Despite the crowd Alicia was very kind and helpful and definitely knows how to make a drink.

I stopped by IYKYK when they opened around 6pm on a Thursday 7/10. The bar was empty, and I ordered one cider. The bartender asked if I wanted to close out but never handed me the tablet to review the charge or add a tip. A few days later, I noticed they added their own tip without my consent. That really rubbed me the wrong way. Customers should be given the option to tip — not have it decided for them. I won’t be returning.

The rooftop bar for Inn Cahoots was a fun vibe and high energy stop on our Austin trip. The elevator was super warm inside and the bathrooms were oddly configured, but the views made up for those items. The drinks we had, while pricey, were strong and quick to be made. Would come back were I in the area looking for a rooftop bar atmosphere again.

Fantastic rooftop club and the views are amazing! Makes you love your city all over again, great location and close to everything!!! Love my days when I come to this fun and great place to catch up and dance with friends! Put this on your stop by list! You would rave about it to all your friends next!

We took the elevator to the top floor bar/club area. The elevator was pretty sketchy and there was no good signage of where we were or going. Immediately upon arrival at the bar, a big roach was staring at us on the bartop next to the water jug, it was so disgusting. I'm sure it was getting its germs all over where people are touching and getting their drinks. After this, I ordered two lonestars. These have no business being ~$8/ea, I could buy a six pack for less than one beer. The service was fine for a club, nothing to write home about.

Cool place, but bar staff are rude and act like they are doing you a favor by getting you a $18 mixed drink lol. I’m fine paying that, but at least be a cool person and make a decent drink. The value isn’t here for a tiny crappy drink. Cheers.

Jamie and Jeff are the best bouncers in the world. They ensured everyone was safe and we will definitely come back again! Thank you for all your service!

Started with the Sunburnt Cowboy. Delicious if you're a cucumber lover. Wish they had more seating... not a heels kind of spot. Eric the manager greeted us on the way up and was very nice. Beautiful views of the city and the live band below.

This is a newer roof top bar located on the east side of Austin in the Inn Cahoots complex. Inn Cahoots is part speakeasy bar, part rooftop bar, part studio bar, and part outdoor garden bar area. To get to the rooftop bar, you enter through the side entrance and take the elevator up to the top. The space can get quite crowded on a beautiful day especially if there's live music on the rooftop. The rooftop provides a fantastic view of downtown, so try to catch it during a sunset. We only ordered one cocktail the last time we visited and it wasn't that good, but that doesn't mean another cocktail won't be better. They were also out of the first two beers we ordered.

Really enjoyed this beautiful rooftop bar. The elusive front door is fun with a kind doorman. The walk to the elevator could be better during the day (just to ensure it's darker). Once you walk out of the elevator area, you're greeted with such a beautiful view of the downtown Austin skyline. There are lovely covered cabanas on one side of the rooftop and then open seating on the other half. Only negative about this spot is that it is HOT up there, especially during August. The cabana area has a drapery roof and so does the bar area, so you can escape the sun. But know that if you do want to enjoy the sun, the furniture is black, so it'll be very hot. Don't miss the neat photo opp with the "Inn Cahoots" sign surrounded by musical-inspired decor surrounding it on the wall. I did not get a chance to get a drink this time but I plan to return to check out their drink menu!

Fun entrance into bar, although I wouldn't classify this as a true speakeasy. Cute rooftop bar with beautiful view of the skyline, especially at sunset. Really cute and open space too. Drinks were good, but fairly standard.

Awesome view and beautiful venue. Even when it's hot they have some fans and there's a nice breeze. Fun menu with twists on classics like a piña colada with cognac and a gin and tonic with prickly pear. Easy to walk up and order at the bar. Efficient and good prices. Will absolutely return!
