A short 15 minute walk towards downtown will lead you to the Austin Convention Center, the Rainey Street District, and Austin’s infamous 6th Street. If staying in the neighborhood is more your speed, East Austin Hotel is surrounded by the best, upcoming bars and restaurants as well as some “old Austin” favorites like Juan In A Million or Cisco’s.
Food, Drink, & Fun
As you’re creating your “East Side Experiences” list , don’t forget about the snacks, entrees, and cocktails found inside East Austin Hotel. Second Bar + Kitchen is a global dining experience that serves lunch, dinner, and all day breakfast at a great price point. If you’re wanting something lighter on the food side and more on the cocktail with a vibe side, visit The Upside, the hotel’s rooftop bar that overlooks East 6th Street. Open during late afternoon and early evenings, this is the ideal spot to transition between day time exploring to night-time fun. And what would any vintage-inspired, pink hotel be without a Pool Bar that serves “The Best Frozen Strawberry Margarita Ever”? We don’t know because East Austin Hotel has all those things and more!
Don’t worry locals, this not to be missed pool and margarita session can be yours with a $40 day pass to the pool (A total necessity at some point during the hot Austin summers!)
