Parlor Room

"A frequent SXSW participant is news channel CNN, which has had a big presence during the festival on Rainey Street for the past five years, taking over bars such as Bungalow and Parlor Room." - Gabrielle Pharms

"Parlor Room is a bar on Rainey Street frequently involved in SXSW events, collaborating with CNN to showcase local culture. Although the in-person festival was canceled, Parlor Room continues to contribute to the SXSW digital experience through cocktail recipes included in CNN's gift boxes for online attendees." - Gabrielle Pharms

"From the hot pink living room, to the black and white tile bar, to the giant sign out on the patio screaming DRINK UP at you, this bar appears to have been designed not only for drinking, but also for having its photo taken. It’s the kind of place where big groups like to come at the peak of their night. The side deck is where you want to be." - Adele Hazan
