The Driskill Bar
604 Brazos St, Austin, TX
The Driskill Bar occupies a corner of the Driskill Hotel, a Romanesque landmark built in 1886 by cattle baron Jesse Driskill and now recognized as the oldest continuously operating hotel in Austin. The bar has been named among the ten best hotel bars in America by USA Today and called the best bar in Texas by Southern Living, giving it a reputation as one of the city's enduring downtown institutions.
Inside, the room mixes rustic leather couches and cowhide barstools with cattle-branded carpet and a mounted Texas Longhorn on the wall, a nod to the hotel's ranching-era origins. It sits at 604 Brazos Street in the heart of downtown Austin, a short walk from Congress Avenue and the Sixth Street entertainment district, making it an easy stop for a rider exploring downtown on foot after parking nearby.
