Rio Rooftop Bar

Rio Rooftop Bar is a two-floor nightlife venue on the corner of 6th Street and Rio Grande in downtown Austin, combining a second-floor sports bar with a third-floor rooftop lounge. The rooftop level looks out over the downtown skyline and includes cabana and lounge seating along with a small daytime pool area, while the sports bar below serves shared plates and specialty cocktails. The roughly 15,000-square-foot venue leans toward a high-energy, bottle-service crowd and is a common stop for bachelor and bachelorette parties, so riders looking for a quieter drink may prefer it earlier in the evening. It sits within Austin's dense downtown bar district near 6th Street, an easy walk from other nightlife along the strip.
