The 7 Best Patio Bars in East Austin, from your favorite little 7-room hotel in East Austin. 🍹

There are dozens of patio bars in East Austin. We love 'em all! These are the spots our team recommends most often when guests ask where to grab a drink outside.

⛱ Kitty Cohen's has a wading pool and a patio that makes you forget you're in a city.

⚡ High Noon is very Austin-cool and just a block from us, which we consider a hotel perk.

⚽ Chalmer's is even closer; it's the best place to watch the game, and has MICHELIN taco truck Discada on site.

🚣 Dainty Dillo has relaxing views of the Colorado River.

😎 The Long Goodbye is a stylish all-day hang with coffee by day and cocktails by night.

🍻 Central Machine Works has great beers and a patio big enough for your entire group.

🐦 Cosmic Saltillo is our favorite example of urban renewal and one of the prettiest spots in East Austin.

Save this for your next Austin weekend!
