"Most of Austin’s rooftop bars can be found within a few-block radius, which isn’t surprising given the density of tall buildings Downtown. Otopia is one of the few exceptions—instead providing a view of Austin’s skyline from The Otis Hotel by the UT Campus. A bit removed from some of the Downtown bustle, expect to find a few more families on this rooftop—including UT students and their parents—mixed in with whoever else might happen to find themselves by campus on a nice evening in search of a great view.  " - nicolai mccrary
