Go for happy hour. The singer in the bar is really good and the bar is certainly comfortable - great stuff

We used this hotel for breakfast. The bonus was they served Illy coffee. For those that don't know an excellent Italian coffee. Friendly helpful staff.

Wandered in for drinks one evening while exploring 6th St. I would love to stay at the Driskill next time I'm in Austin. Beautiful façade, wonderful bar with solo musician who was terrific. We lingered over our drinks and didn't want to leave

Beautiful place to see. Lovely stained glass. It smelled a little musty. We went there to have a drink at the bar. The bartender was nice. People were not as friendly or forthcoming as they were at the Omni.

This is one of the to do things in Austin - to have a drink at the Driskill bar. Reminds you of an older non chain hotel era! I had a very ginger infused cocktail here.

Beautiful hotel, awesome stained glass. Staff is friendly and atmosphere is very comfortable. Second floor bar is busy and fun. Great place to go for a quiet romantic happy hour or night cap.

I don't recall the name but I had a burger with pulled pork on top with fries. It was accompanied by the cutest little jar of pickles! My server was very attentive and made recommendations accordingly. Great experience!

Expensive, spent just over $600 for dinner but worth every penny. Amazing service, fantastic food, served at the perfect temperature, great wine and help choosing, A++ desserts! Only thing, they don't validate parking even with valet service,,, that was a bit petty but whatever.

We enjoyed a drink with friends at the casual, relaxed ambiance of the Driskill Hotel bar before braving the chaos of 6th Street in Austin. A lovely setting for cocktails or a beer, some bar food and conversation.
