Elephant Room
About
Swift Building, 315 Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78701, USA Get directions
Atmospheric and dimly lit, the Elephant Room is a basement jazz club tucked beneath Congress Avenue downtown, where local and touring musicians play nightly to a crowd packed into a low-ceilinged, brick-walled space. Come early if you want a seat—it's small, it fills up fast, and the close quarters are part of why the live sets land the way they do.

Zanzibar
Austin
Zanzibar sits right on the edge of Austin's Rainey Street district, a converted-bungalow stretch where old houses have become bars and the patios spill into each other on warm nights. Expect a lounge-leaning spot that shifts from afternoon drinks toward a livelier, late-night crowd as the evening goes on.

Upstairs at Caroline
Austin
Tucked above its ground-floor sibling in downtown Austin, Upstairs at Caroline is a rooftop bar and restaurant where the open-air perch and skyline views tend to register before the menu does. Expect a casual American spin on food and cocktails, an afternoon-into-late-night schedule, and a setting built more for lingering with a drink than for a quick bite.
