Edge is one of the bigger rooftop bars we’ve come across in Austin, which just means there’s that much more opportunity to snag a cozy table when the weather is nice and people are out. Located on the fifth floor of the JW Marriott on Congress, there’s nearly 180° of view that spans from Town Lake to the State Capitol. Blue and purple underlit chairs give the whole place a modern feel, while plenty of desert palms and Austin-inspired cocktails—like Zilker mules and Soco Margs—remind you that you’re just a few hundred feet over Downtown.
