East Austin
One of the fastest-growing neighbourhoods in the United States, East Austin is one of the best neighbourhoods to go to enjoy the nightlife. East Austin is where all the locals go to enjoy delicious food; beautiful art; and of course, the bars. If you enjoy pairing your cold beer with some great music or a good show, then Hotel Vegas is where you want to make your first stop. If you are a poolside-with-a-drink kind of guy or gal, then you may want to stop at Kitty Cohen’s to enjoy its Palm Springs scenery. And if you are looking for some great food to go with your drink, then check out Micklethwait Craft Meats, Bufalina or La Barbecue.
Coyote Ugly
If you are looking to party and drink tequila shots, then Coyote Ugly is the perfect bar for you to visit. Coyote Ugly is one of the most known bars in the United States. It was first opened in New York in 1993. It became well known on a national and international level after the romantic-comedy movie, “Coyote Ugly” was filmed. Its Austin location was opened in 2004. It gives you the same experience in Austin as you would have if you were in New York.
Downtown
If partying at Coyote Ugly isn’t your type of scene, then you may want to consider the more sophisticated side of Austin. Downtown Austin is known for its businesses and government buildings. Therefore you may come across people who just got off work and want to enjoy a drink or two. Some popular places to go are The Red Room Lounge, Mug Shot, Firehouse Hostel and Lounge and Wink. These are great spots to visit if you want to relax and lounge.
Wherever you choose to go, be aware that Texas is one of the states subject to dram shop law. Read up on it if you are not familiar with it. Basically, if you drink above your limit, bartenders have the right to stop serving you alcohol when it becomes clear you are intoxicated. To avoid this from happening, make drinking responsibility your top priority.
