The Bar/Lounge at The Driskill

"The bar is decked out in comfy leather chairs, low lighting, warm wood, and—of course—cowhide; and you're likely to see quite a few locals rubbing elbows with out-of-towners"

"The elegant bar, with frequent live piano music, attracts business travelers and savvy downtown revelers"

"Although it's now owned by the Hyatt, you'll find no generic hotel decor here; this place is pure Texas, especially the bar with wall-mounted longhorns, leather couches and a stained glass dome"

"If you can’t afford to stay here, drop by the lobby bar for a mid-afternoon whiskey sour"

"The Driskill Lounge is a vibrant place with live piano most nights that includes a schedule of live acoustic bands"

"The piano lounge is a study in cattle-baron cool, with cowhide couches and cowboys-and-indians sculptures"

"1929), "swanky" upstairs piano bar with "drinks as strong as they are expensive" and "beautiful" guestrooms with free WiFi; sure "'tis not cheap", but it's "a nice place to feel like a fancy Austinite"

"The hand-painted ceilings in the ballrooms, the broad balconies overlooking the street scene below, a dark bar with live music, and the inviting 1886 Café make a stay here special"

"The very Texan and historic hotel located in the heart of downtown was opened in 1886 by Jesse Lincoln Driskill, a wealthy cattle baron whose portrait remains in the lobby"

"But the Driskill's restaurant, bar and café mean you don't have to venture out if you don't want to"
