Best place to get drinks outdoors

[Statalyzer]

To fit everything in that I couldn't fit in the title: What's the best place in Austin to get drinks and sit outdoors that isn't just some 6th St. club/bar that has a couple of tables out on a patio?

 

[Jellydonuts]

Club de Ville and Spiderhouse are both great.

little woodrow's or cedar door downtown.

dry creek or billy's on burnet north.

freddie's place south.

damnit, how did i forget about club de ville. i love that place.

I like the Draught House. Lots of tables and tailgating. Dog friendly. Great beer selection.

I love Freddie's for a cocktail, but their food is really bad.

shady grove.

 

[HornOnTheBayou]

Freddie's is the first place I thought of. Big shady trees, washers, live music. It doesn't get much better.

What's that place on the East side on Manor - the red door or something?

 

[Mr.Wizard]

Shady Grove

[HornGrandioso]

Another shady vote.

I like Crown and Anchor or Trudy's by campus

 

[Durkee]

Another nod to Lil Woodrows and the Crown!!

 

[ScratchHorn]

Crown and Anchor and Cain and Abels

 

[ThrowittoRoy]

a few other ideas.... Tiniest bar, Opals, and Doc's

 

[ThrowittoRoy]

almost forgot... For north Austin, C-Hunts Icehouse is great if you are looking for casual.

 

[The Eyes of Texas]

The Oasis, Hula Hut...any place with a lake view is nice

 

[Beef]

Cain and Abel's.

Good food and eye candy too

 

[utexas_61]

crown and anchor

NEKKIDD @ HIPPY HOLLOW!!!!

But on a serious note:
Cedar Door on 2nd St.; the newish Woodrow's @ Slaughter Ln.; Opal Devine's on S.Congress.

[Alpine]

South:
Opal Divine's penn field
Hill's

I know it's blasphemous, but if you're way the hell north on Parmer, the patio at the new Z Tejas is pretty nice.

You just have to squint enough so that you don't notice that you can see both Walgreens and CVS.

The new Z is off of Parmer at Avery Ranch.

For some reason they are snootier and more pretentious than the other Z'Tejas' though. Been twice and it is a real turn off. I love the other two locations and can't recall a bad experience. Can't quite figure out what it is about the new location.
