Hostess was pleasant and when I arrived for a drink with no reservation seated me on the patio with a lovely view. However it was a little cold as no heat lamps so moved inside. Inside has such lovely festive decor as a holiday pop up bar and great Christmas music. It really was a festive, fun atmosphere. Service was a little slow but my waitress Ava was lovely and friendly. Really enjoyed a happy hour holiday cocktail here and it really got me in the Christmas mood. Lovely place to go alone or with others for a festive drink, I would love to return and would definitely reccomend.
I’ve been to this bar before, before they revamped it with all the Christmas decorations. It looks amazing the way they have it now, there are lights everywhere present boxes on the ceiling, and there’s music, which is in tune with a light show on the wall, pretty cool. We ordered three of the Christmas themed cocktail specials, they were all very delicious. They are very cute, very Instagramable, nice spot to come with friends or a cute date night. They have happy hour every day from 5 to 6 PM, just an hour where they have drinks 50% off. Highly recommend.
Food was excellent, as was service. Seating on couch was a little uncomfortable, and had requested outdoors. Went for brunch, chilaquiles were good as was the French toast and fresh fruit.
Overall, I had a really good experience here. I was here on a Monday around noon (4/17/23?). The bartenders weren't very friendly, and I think they charged me double for a rocks pour (not an industry standard), but the servers at the loungers at the pool were fantastic! Pro tip: if you don't have any restrictions with ingredients, going with the signature cocktails at any given place are always going to get you more bang for your buck (but plan on spending a nice amount when you come here). They seem to have a pretty good cocktail program going on here, too. Being a Monday around noon in April, it was not crowded at all, and the atmosphere was fantastic! They do private events and buyouts here, too, as I stayed up until it was time for them to close to the public, for this.
Rules & Regs inside the Fairmont on the 7th floor by the pool has a great patio and view of downtown Austin. Went for drinks and snacks and enjoyed them all. The snack was salmon ceviche which was really good. I got it with tortilla chips which were much better than the chicharrones. Ceviche had great flavor and although it was pricey, I made a good choice. I also had to get the Mexican chocolate pavlova which is similar to a crunchy meringue. For my drink, I got the rebellious gecko which was very refresher. Server wasn’t too attentive but he was new. Very relaxing vibe here. I highly recommend it.
I’m not sure why the reviews for this place are so low. They must have replaced all of the rude staff because the hostess, server and bartenders were all courteous and responsive. We caught the tail end of happy hour and got the margarita special. The waiter made sure we were able to get one last order in before it ended. We went to the bar for shots and another drink. Both bartenders were personable and friendly. We didn’t try the food so can’t speak on that. Views were amazing. Will come back!
Great drinks very strong. Small snack menu. Beautiful decorations.
Cozy bar by the pool and a great view of Austin. The drinks were great. Next time we will have to order food.
Very nice bar. Good selection of spirits. Excellent service. Wonderful views of downtown Austin.
We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel and went to sit by pool and had drinks. Amazing Customer service. And GREAT drinks
