Your A-List: Best Patio
Sitting outside is nice. Booze is nice, too. Drinking booze while sitting outside is really nice. Especially when you can do so on a balcony patio with stellar views, hence the victory in this week’s poll by the Stephen F. Austin (40 percent of the vote).
The swanky hotel has a popular, highlighted with some serious Texas touches (see: mounted longhorn over the hand-tooled leather bar and cowhide barstools). But arguably the greatest attraction of the Stephen F. Austin’s bar is the terrace that wraps around the hotel, offering views of the Texas Capitol, Congress Avenue and Seventh Street. When the weather is nice, it’s hard to find a better spot in town to have a drink.
