Austin’s identity is synonymous with a rich music scene—and you don’t have to leave The Driskill to enjoy it. Listen to nightly live music including Antone's, Austin's Home of the Blues for a special Sunday Blues at The Driskill Bar. Sink into a cozy leather couch, sip a craft cocktail, enjoy small plate dining, and relax as you listen to music from a variety of genres. Many artists are up-and-coming musicians based in the Texas Hill Country, offering a true emphasis on promoting local culture. Awarded one of the Best Bars in Texas, there's no better place to experience "The Live Music Capital of the World" than The Driskill Bar.
From the elegant, timeless lobby, walk up the grand staircase and enter into old-world Texas, fit for a cattle baron. Named one of the 10 Best Hotel Bars in America by USA Today and The Best Bar in Texas by Southern Living, The Driskill Bar is, without question, as Texas as it gets for downtown Austin bars. With its rustic leather couches, cowhide barstools, cattle branded custom carpet, and the grand Texas Longhorn adorning the wall, you will have no question where you sit as you sip your whiskey cocktail. Featuring Nightly Live Music, and a special Sunday Blues with Antone's, The Driskill Bar offers a relaxed atmosphere, bracing spirits, fine wines and good friendships.
