About this Bar

Zanzibar is Austin’s sky-high escape—an open-air rooftop oasis where tropical cocktails meet downtown skyline views. Tucked above the Marriott on 4th Street, it’s part island hideaway, part see-and-be-seen social scene. If you're looking for something elevated (literally and vibe-wise), this is your spot.

Rooftop Sips & Island Vibes

  • Signature tropical cocktails like Mai Tais and passionfruit margaritas—balanced, bold, and beautifully presented.

  • Curated beer and wine lists for easy sipping with a view.

  • Non-alcoholic options that go beyond the basic—crafted with just as much flair.

  • $16 cocktails reflect the upscale, resort-style experience.

Poolside Energy Without the Splash

  • Lush greenery, cabana-style seating, and panoramic views of downtown Austin.

  • Music-forward atmosphere—think DJ sets and laid-back beats that match the sunset.

  • Stylish but not stuffy—come dressed to impress, but no tux required.

Great For…

  • Sunset drinks with out-of-towners or date night with a skyline backdrop.

  • Group celebrations with a touch of luxury—reservations recommended for prime time.

  • A classy pre-dinner cocktail or a final nightcap under the stars.
