6th & Waller Will Be Your Downtown Destination for Cocktails, Dining and So Much More

Just a few blocks from downtown in one of the trendiest areas of Austin is a not-so-hidden gem for dining, relaxing, and cocktails all in one unique space. 

                                    vibrant and inviting decor 

Discover East 6th Street’s most precious gems nestled in the heart of the neighborhood: 6th and Waller, TheUpSide,The Pool Bar and East Austin Hotel. 6th and Waller is a destination. It can be just a cocktail or an all inclusive evening of dining, handcrafted cocktails, poolside relaxing and a chic vintage hotel room for a “stay-cation” in Austin and for those visitors who want to stay near downtown. 

6th and Waller is located in the trendy East Austin on East 6th Street and that’s not all. Within this locally owned boutique hotel is an artsy full-service restaurant and bar on the first floor with vibrant Mid-Century Modern decor. The second floor bar The Upside overlooks the pool and The outdoor Pool Bar, with endless seating possibilities both inside and out. You’ll love hanging and checking out the spectacular view of this East Austin location while surrounded by a pool and hotel area that has a chic vintage flare both inside and out. 

                         lots of comfy seating areas located throughout 

The second you walk through the door of 6th and Waller you will be immersed in this tastefully designed vibrant and earthy decor with colors of classic mid-century modern pink, orange and brown and decor with Scandanavian light fixtures.

One of my favorite finds are the coolest lounge areas flowing throughout the restaurant and bar. You will find these fabulous lounging areas dotted all around with comfortable seating just perfect for hanging out with friends or your date.

Stay the night and party the night away!

If you want to party into the night, 6th and Waller’s East Austin Hotel offers Double and King Rooms, spacious Poolside Rooms with a fabulous balcony view all priced so reasonably. Great for a party weekend with friends or romantic getaway for two.
