Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Round Rock

"| When the weather is not blazing hot or at the point of freezing, Austin has a plethora of excellent patio dining spots. Since 2013, Contigo has been one of Austin’s most popular spots for an al fresco experience. Their sprawling backyard and deck offer casual and comfortable southwest ranch-style dining paired with refreshing craft cocktails, shareable bites and plenty of space for events or yard games."

"This East Austin gem has a huge outdoor seating area that is perfect for the whole family. Come rain or shine because they have a large portion of the patio covered. With string lights surrounding the outdoors area, you are sure to enjoy the ambiance but not more than the food and drinks!"

"The ranch-style MLK restaurant is all outdoors, where diners can mix delicious drinks and ox tongue sliders for an excellent evening. Reservations are available."

"With a giant marlin on the wall, oversized aquarium, and under-the-sea decorative accents, Perla’s has that nautical vibe on lock. (It also has a pretty tree-lined patio with tiny Edison lights.) Along with the cool scene, this seafood and oyster bar is a fun spot for a lunch, brunch, or dinner date. Oysters on the half shell, sandwiches, and classic appetizers will start you off right."

"Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in Austin, Perla’s offers a beautiful outdoor seating area right on the busy South Congress Avenue. Enjoy ceviche and wine under the large trees while people watching those who pass by. Perla’s is the perfect spot for brunch, lunch, dinner, and even a quick appetizer and drink!"

"Congress, 512/291-7300www.perlasaustin.comHours: Brunch Sat.-Sun., 10:30am-3pm; lunch Mon.-Fri., 11am-3pm; snacks & raw bar daily, 3-5:30pm; dinner daily, 5:30pm-close. Happy hour weekdays, 3-6pm. To say that McGuire Moorman Hospitality group has the Midas touch would be an understatement."

"Last on this list of my favorite French restaurants in Austin, but most certainly not least, is Justine’s Brasserie. This restaurant, located deep off East 5th street, is the Moulin Rouge of the French restaurants in Austin, and the East side may as well be Montmartre. While the other French restaurants in Austin personify the simple yet detailed and refined French esthetic, Justine’s Brasserie is unapologetically chic and rowdy, with phenomenal food."

"This classic spot is “hidden away” deep on the Eastside, so it’s not the kind of place you’d just drive by. If you’re going to Justine’s, it’s because someone knows how great it is and feels similarly about you. It’s a tiny house with dark lighting, limited seating, and a big patio under twinkling lights, which is basically the background of every stock photo of couples being romantic."

"While Justine’s is as much of a scene as a restaurant, the little French eatery has earned a loyal following primarily because of the expertly prepared cuisine. The loyalty of Justine’s clientele is even more amazing given the restaurant’s location -- in far east Austin. The scallops and mussels are the most popular entrees."

"The value of the $60 prix fixe here is the best in the city for a lot of reasons, most of them are individual dishes that cycle every week. The menu makes use of seasonal, local ingredients and offerings might include charred orange-glazed cauliflower with herb purée or a delicate roasted beet crêpe folded with hazelnut pesto; the poached shrimp in tomato curry or snapper tataki with apple matcha ponzu have also been knockouts. You should get the wine pairings, as the picks from the mostly European list are expert-level."

"This chic restaurant has the cutest backyard wine garden for guests to enjoy their meals. You can dine under the 500-year-old oak trees that offer shade throughout the day. At night the shimmering lights hanging throughout the wine garden creates the perfect atmosphere for a romantic date or evening catching up with friends and family!"

"Bouldin Creek’s best date night destination might have limited dining space, with only 34 seats, but the seasonal prix fixe selections and shabby...Read More"

"Drop by Wilder Wood for some mouth-watering gluten-free delights!. They serve Mexican food and a great range of cakes and cocktails too. Come on a Wednesday night between 7pm - 10pm if you want a lively surrounding, as they organize open-mic shows with new artists each week."

"You’ll come to The Grove for its warm, welcoming interior (or if it’s not too hot, its big light-covered patio), but you’ll stay for the never-ending wine list. Our move here is always wine flights, aka the next-best thing to a weekend in Napa. You’re going to need some carbs to soak up all that Pinot - order the bruschetta in multiples."

"Unplugged at the Grove is a free outdoor concert series every Thursday during spring and summer at Shady Grove in south Austin. Bring a blanket and let the music wash your worries away. This free music event starts at 8 pm."

"This recently-revamped restaurant gives diners the ultimate upscale experience, offering a wine bar, intimate dining room, and bright patio space. From caprese burrata to mouthwatering pizzas, this spot has all of your favorite Italian eats, and great cocktails to pair them with. Read about our Do512 Eats experience here."

"Osteria Pronto in the Second Street District does Italian food simply. The overriding style of cooking on display here is rustic, but that doesn't mean the dining experience lacks ..."

"Imagine a bar set between two buildings, with live music and a fun crowd. This is exactly what Nook Amphitheater is. This is a one-of-a-kind bar in Austin and it is placed right between two buildings, forming an outdoor bar space."

"A good buzz can be seriously enhanced with a good hookah and brought down with a bad one – this is the reason why having a good experience with hookah is important. The Hookah-BuzZ Lounge & Cafe in Austin has been marked as the best hookah experience in the whole south by many previous customers. The staff here have a lot of knowledge about hookah and offer many flavors, which are crowd favorites."

"Old Settlers Park is one of the best known parks in the Austin area, and with 640 acres of trails, sports facilities, and picnic pavilions, it’s easy to see why. Picnickers can gather for family reunions or birthday parties to barbecue, play horseshoes, and enjoy each other’s company under one of the two pavilions, and sports enthusiasts can make full use of the facilities which include an 18 hole disc golf course, soccer fields and facilities, and 20 fields for baseball and softball. There is also a cricket field that includes batting cages for practice, Bright Lake, which comes stocked with fish like bass, perch, and catfish for anyone looking to try their luck with a fishing pole, and seven playgrounds for kids."

"Have dinner and drinks on Rainey Street, a charming block of residential bungalows transformed into trendy eateries and bars. Sample the small plates at the award-winning Emmer & Rye, and stop in for an expertly made martini at Clive Bar. Be sure to check out Anthem, which bills itself as a Tex-Asian pub (with tiki drinks!). And see the newly expanded Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden, which added a three-story annex featuring a huge outdoor tap wall, 5,000 square feet of outdoor porches and a smokehouse equipped for whole hog barbecues."

"Rainey Street is a neighborhood of day-drinking and brunch, a trailer park of food trucks, and on Sunday’s a live cover band at Icenhauers. Rock Rose is a street of hookah bars, clubs, and restaurants in the middle of an outdoor shopping mall where people go to party away from the 6th street crowd."

"Rainey Street is a unique collection of houses turned bars. It’s great place to hang out, especially during the day time, and specifically on a Sunday. It’s filled with awesome spots, like Clive Bar (cocktails), Craft Pride (craft beer), Bangers (sausage and beer), and Bungalow (just a cool bar)."

"Here, locally sourced and Austin-inspired ingredients bring a taste of Texas to your spa experience. Even if you aren’t a guest at the Four Seasons, you can still take advantage of weekly happy hours and the spacious lounge for a little extra ‘you’ time during your visit. The Spa itself features a relaxation lounge with a Himalayan pink salt wall and eucalyptus-infused steam rooms."
