5 of the Best Rooftop Bars in Austin
For rooftop bars in Austin, start with P6 over Lady Bird Lake, then work your way out to West Campus, Rainey Street and downtown Round Rock. Each of these five sits up top with a real view, a real cocktail list and hours you can plan around. Go at sunset and stay for the skyline.
A rooftop bar and Mediterranean kitchen on top of The LINE, looking over Lady Bird Lake. The bar opens daily at 4pm and stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.
A seventh-floor rooftop at Fairmont Austin pairing coastal Mexican plates with cocktails and skyline views. Open Wednesday to Saturday, 5pm to 11pm, with happy hour from 5pm to 6pm.
A rooftop pool and lounge in West Campus with craft cocktails and skyline views. Open from 3pm Monday to Thursday and from noon Friday to Sunday.
Craft cocktails, live music and a speakeasy-style lounge above downtown Round Rock. Order a French 75 and the tuna tartare and settle in for the view.
