Violet Sky Rooftop Lounge

Violet Sky is a rooftop lounge on the fifth floor of the AC Hotel Austin Hill Country, built around sunset views of the Austin skyline and the surrounding Hill Country. The lounge runs a curated craft cocktail menu with signature drinks alongside upscale bar bites and chef-driven small plates in a smart-casual setting. Because it's an open-air rooftop, hours run weather-permitting, with a weekday happy hour in the early evening and the lounge closed on Sundays. The elevated hilltop vantage point makes it more of a scenic evening stop than a casual daytime bar.
