Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Round Rock

"Designed to feel more like a Hill Country ranch than a restaurant, Contigo is just north of much of Austin's action, drawing families on the weekends with kids who love to run around its outdoor space. The steaks and burgers are well worth going out of your way for, as are the cocktails, which are mostly seasonal. You'll feel like a real Austinite here, surrounded by locals from the neighborhood at one of the family-style tables and chatting up the staff that seems to know every anecdote about what's served here and where it comes from."

"The inspiration for this place was a ranch by the same name in South Texas. The owners loved the original ranch so much that they decided to bring it with them to Austin and open this restaurant on the fringes of the now booming Mueller development. The open concept restaurant is almost entirely outdoors, with just the kitchen, bar and a few tables actually under a roof."

"2027 Anchor, 512/614-2260, www.contigotexas.comHours: Sun.-Thu., 4-9pm; Fri.-Sat., 4-10pm. Happy hour Sun.-Thu., 4-6pm. Contigo consistently makes nearly every listicle of great Austin patios, thanks to high-quality, reasonably priced happy hours with snacks like crispy green beans and charred avocado."

"You can sit outside in Austin almost any month of the year - with a short break in the summer for 110 degree days and that one week in January when it drops below 40. So it makes sense that there’s no shortage of great patios, but there are few better spots to eat and drink outside than Perla’s. You’ll sit under a large tree while servers bring you oysters and make you feel like you’re vacationing in a small beach town - despite being able to hear the traffic of South Congress and see a guy testing out his “Cowboy Mime” act for tips."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants Seafood South River City. Oysters, cocktails and brunches abound on Perla’s giant patio. A staple of the South Congress scene, the vibe is casual coastal though the prices reflect the location."

"Ask nearly anyone that’s been living in Austin longer than 5 years and they most likely have at least one story that involves a fun night of mischief at Justine’s. The patio and interior proudly boast its old-world French-inspired bungalow, meshed with the liveliness of New Orleans bar to set the mood for a fun night. The incredibly playful service team, coupled with a delicious menu of French snacks and creative cocktails will keep you and your friends coming back for the party."

"Seemingly out of nowhere, the neon-lit signage of Justine’s Brasserie appears out of the darkness. Follow the shimmery clouds of smoke and peals of raucous laughter into the disco ball-studded courtyard or the red-lit interior—this sexy, lively haunt attracts sexy, lively people who like partying ‘til dawn. The menu is classic French bistro-style, with staples like escargot, steak tartare, French onion soup, and moules-frites."

"East AustinOne of the things that makes Justine’s so appealing is its dimensionality. Yes, it’s French cuisine… but it’s also not just French cuisine. It's a place where old soul songs are played on vinyl, where they put up a yearly "Winter Tent" and throw a party for in its honor, and where you can sip espresso martinis on a light-strung patio at 1am."

"Lenoir has won lots of critic’s choice awards for being one of the most romantic restaurants in Austin, and it’s easy to see why. Their creative Mediterranean menu sets the tone for a wonderfully passionate evening in this romantic, vintage-chic outpost. Their indoor dining room is perfectly lit to create an intimate atmosphere, while their garden area is the perfect place to cosy up to your loved one and enjoy one of the most romantic meals you’ll ever have."

"There's a lot to love about this imaginative South Austin restaurant, from the romantic vintage chic look to the beautifully balanced dishes. While the restaurant recently changed formats switching from its typical prix fixe menu to a la carte dishes and its take on a tasting menu for $60 a person. Everything is centered on umami-rich "hot weather food" (think acidic, citrusy, brothy, and spicy), all to be paired along with the impressive wine list."

"Another long-time Austin institution, The County Line has been making solid, familiar barbecue for 44 years. The lakeside location is in a repurposed lake lodge on Bull Creek, near Lake Austin. The County Line on the Lake location is a perfect place for a large group."

"Voted Austin's "Best Jazz Bar" for seven years running, Elephant Room is located below street level and features cool jazz in an intimate setting seven nights a week. Local and national acts both take to the stage and the joint is so hip that it's not unusual to see both performers and patrons don sunglasses. Called the epicenter of the Austin jazz scene, this sexy, intimate little spot is the perfect place for a date."

"Year Opened: 1991Cover: VariesDrinks: Full barCapacity: 13Noise Level:. There are plenty of places to hear jazz in Austin, but only one place to hear it every night. The Elephant Room is underground—literally."

"Un lugar casual, se agradece que abra hasta tarde para comer sushi, no es el mejor sushi pero está bien, el menú es amplio y las porciones generosas. Si lo que buscas es un lugar casual para comer sushi, nada muy sofisticado más bien relajado con ambiente casi de bar, este es el lugar."

"1108 E 6th St | Choose your experience at East Austin Hotel’s new The Upside bar & lounge and Pool Bar. A Moroccan vibe with rich interiors and cozy poufs & seating, The Upside is the perfect place to meet for an afternoon / late-night cocktail or bite. Prefer alfresco sips near the pool, head down to the Pool Bar for tropical drinks including frozen cocktails like the Permanent Vacation with Brazilian cachaca, passionfruit, tart cherry, orange, lime, kong’s spices #4."

"Chic but approachable, this locally owned-and-operated boutique hotel is not only a hip place to stay, but a fixture for locals and Eastside happenings. The mid-century Danish design incorporates stylish Austin touches with a retro spin."

"Austin has so many amazing neighborhoods that picking one to stay in is a difficult proposition. Most of the romantic hotels in Austin Texas lie in the buzzing Downtown. It lies on the Colorado River’s northern banks."

"3 out of 5 stars Restaurants Pizza Riverside. Have you ever been held back from creating the pizza of your dreams because of all those extra topping charges?. Then MOD Pizza will seem like heaven on earth: One set price grants you the power to tack on an unlimited number of their 30+ toppings."

"This pizza place does not have a playscape but there’s something really fun about letting kids customize their own pizza. I find that when kids can make their own meals, they tend to eat more, which is a good way to sneak in additional vegetables. Mod Pizza’s Mueller location is a fun place to check out after hanging out at the Thinkery all day."

"Boasting a dynamic menu that includes the freshest ingredients in Central Austin, BarChi has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. Featuring fresh sushi and maki rolls as well as a delicious variety of rare sashimi items, BarChi prepares delicious, cutting-edge Japanese cuisine with competitive pricing and portion size. The sleek, modern interior makes it a swanky standout in the bustling Second Street District; perfect for hosting private parties or a night on the town."

"Located in Austin’s 2nd Street District,Bar Chi Sushimakes the “best of” list for its enormous menu offering a wide array of sushi, maki rolls, noodle dishes, bento boxes, teppanyaki (gotta love a hot skillet plate), and cocktails. The daily happy hour specials are always a draw as is the reverse happy hour on Friday and Saturday nights."

"Barchi is known to have one of the best happy hours in Austin. Not only do they offer half-priced select rolls from 3-7pm during the week, but they also offer a reverse happy hour from 10pm-12am on Thursday and 10pm-1am on Friday and Saturday. Strobe lights, a very energetic DJ, and half priced sake."

"Gourdough’s Public House is known for its extravagant doughnuts and doughnut-based sandwiches. They are truly one of a kind in which one needs to check out for the ultimate donut in Austin experience. Just picture this, the Mother Clucker (included fried chicken and honey butter over a doughnut) and the Drunken Hunk (bacon-wrapped meatloaf, a fried egg, and bourbon- or cider-based barbecue sauce over a doughnut)."

"You might not actually blackout, but you are sure to get chocolate-wasted off one of the best donuts in Austin. The Gourdough’s trailer makes them, but the restaurant on South 1st will make you feel like an Austinite."

"Clear your schedule for the rest of the day, though, because whether you get a decadent donut or burger with a donut bun, the only thing you’ll want to do for the rest of the day is take a nap."
