Gin Bar
1813 E 6th St, Austin, TX
Gin Bar is a second-floor cocktail lounge inside the Arrive East Austin hotel on East 6th Street, reached by taking the back stairs from Lefty's Brick Bar or the hotel elevator. As its name suggests, the bar is built entirely around gin, pouring more than ninety varieties sourced from Austin distillers up through New Zealand producers.
For a rider exploring East 6th Street, Gin Bar offers a quieter, more focused stop than the street-level bars below it, with a patio setting for cocktails. It is a reservations-friendly, wheelchair-accessible space that keeps evening hours rather than opening in the afternoon.
