The Hottest Bars in Austin at SXSW Interactive

Whitney Fishman: Best soft pretzels and mustard that will change your life. Amazing space to enjoy a beer or snack outside in low key vibes without the chaos.

Sofia Papastamelos: Get a Moscow mule! Ask for a copper cup.

Julia Roberson: Cool ambiance, live shows here are pretty cool.

David Self: Ask for a mezcal sazerac and enjoy. Incredible service, especially Rene, Rico, and Caer.

Cameron Hogan: Always a must for me during SXSW, or for any trip to Austin.

Bailie: This is one of my go-to spots to meet friends. The staff is so friendly, bring your dog, grab some food and drink some of the best craft beer from around the world.

Andrea Hong: Cool bar on the hip stretch of Rainey Street, with a venue constructed from shipping containers. Get a drink, wander the spaces, enjoy some live music and hanging out in a giant playhouse of spaces

Dell: A big dance floor and a brass band. Old-school cowboys and young hipsters. Get ready to two-step. Austin favorite Bomb Tacos has a trailer on the back patio.

Barrett Phelan: Crazy good beer selection. I like the Abbey Leff Blonde.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Absolute class of Austin upstairs in the back at The Driskill. A super Texas-themed decor with cow fur tables and chairs. Real upscale big city vibe, just far enough away from the dirty 6th chaos
