I made a reservation for (one) a few weeks in advance because I'd heard it has one of the best sunset views in Austin, and I wanted to guarantee a good seat. I can confirm: the view is spectacular... if you can actually see it. Only 80% of the tables have a view worth making a reservation for. When I arrived, they seated me at a two-top right by the host stand, just inside the rooftop area. Technically outside, but functionally indoors. My view consisted mostly of the backs of people's heads, a sliver of sky with direct sun, distant buildings, and one very unfortunate, ugly rooftop. The host said she'd try to move me to a table on the "other end," but explained that some guests were overstaying their reservation time limits and hadn't left yet. Then, with a sliver of sun showing, they moved me to the good side of the bar. I was seated in a low lounge setup with a couch and two chairs in a space that could easily fit 5-6 people, and the view was completely different. From there, I could see the water, skyline, bridge, and the rest of the sunset as the sky changed colors. I didn't stay long, because now I felt rude taking such a large table for one person! What I Ordered Botanical Reset Mocktail -- $12 Chocolate Tahini Mousse -- $11 The mocktail was refreshing, but the mousse was the memorable choice. It was one of the best desserts because it was rich, balanced, and an incredible mix of textures and flavors. During bat season, this bar also has a fantastic view of the Congress Avenue Bridge bats, for some of the tables... This bar was confusing to locate. The elevator didn't list the bar, and the floor I initially got off on (following other rooftop wanderers) looked like it belonged to something else entirely. Here's how to find it: Go to the 6th floor. When you exit the regular elevator, turn right. Walk down the hallway to the end. Turn right again, and go down a couple of stairs. P6 will be straight ahead. There's also a separate elevator somewhere else, apparently, but I took the one from the lobby. Seating tip: If they seat you on the side as you enter P6, you might not get much of a view. If you're on the opposite side (like in the photos on their website), the sunset and bridge views are absolutely worth it. read more

Recently came here for the second time and I had to leave an updated review because this place has consistently been disappointing with their service and food. I am not one to leave a negative review but the only thing this place has going for it, is its view. Service here has been very below average during both of my experiences. Our server was not super nice and we went long periods of time waiting for her to come to our table. The food this time around was ok but the shrimp I got to go on my caesar salad were honestly very overcooked. I hate to say it but I am just not a fan of this spot. read more

Paid over $200 for tickets for the event on July 4th. The featured drinks were literal trash. The food was not good at all and the staff was everything but friendly. Completely crowded for a limited ticket event I spent entirely way too much money for. Seems like they let anyone and everyone in. Absolutely no room to view the fireworks at all! P6....I hope next year you do better! The price charged for this TRASH event is completely ridiculous. I will not be back next year. And I hope other feel the same. read more

P6 was definitely a location to take pictures and enjoy some delicious drinks with your friends. We had an amazing server and I am so sorry I don't remember their name. And if you come to visit highly recommend getting their champagne buckets to split read more

Went here with 3 friends after my one friend completed the half marathon! We went to brunch nearby then walked over to P6 for cocktails on the rooftop. We were seated right away near the water and took in the sunshine. It was great! Our server was so sweet. I didn't catch his name, but he was over the top friendly and attentive. We ordered a pitcher of the Sundown Cobbler which my friends raved about. We asked how many drinks were in the pitcher and he said probably 4 drinks each. We couldn't believe that because it was only the price of 4 cocktails total. We got the pitcher and 3 of us each had about 3.5 cocktails. What a deal. Super easy drinking on a hot day. 3 girls split the pitcher and each only paid $22 each. I can't wait to go back here! Their whole cocktail menu sounded good and I definitely see myself stopping here for a glass of white wine on a walk on the trail. Glad they introduced me to this place! read more

We made reservations to hopefully watch the bats fly out from Congress Bridge at dusk, but the bats didn't cooperate. We were seated near the air conditioning units so it was LOUD, then they sat us at a different table which was near other loud electrical equipment. Oh, well. The views were beautiful and the food was good. The restaurant is all outdoors. There were many servers (Sammy and John were the main two) who kept our drinks refilled and brought food as it was ready. We loved the herb za'atar rolls with spicy whipped butter, Greek panzanella salad with yummy pita croutons and feta, roasted carrots, beef tenderloin with roasted potatoes, linguine, and cheese/meat charcuterie. Unfortunately both of the desserts we tried (chocolate mousse and semolina pistachio cake) were dry and flavorless. We were staying at The Line on the sixth floor do we just had to walk down the hall the restaurant. The hotel offers discounted parking if you're just dining at the restaurant. read more

This place was SOO cute! From the path to the elevator to the rooftop! Was not expecting this place to look as luxurious as it did. Even if you don't get to sit outside, the inside is a whole separate experience. The cocktails were delicious. We tried their popular Sundown Cobler, Herb and Vine, and Hill Country Gold. -1 Star because although the drinks were absolutely amazing, they overfilled my cup with ice (see picture). I have never seen anything like this lol. THEN, My second drink was not even filled up. They served me half a cup with a giant ice cube in the middle read more

Stopped in last week for a drink at sunset to check out the bats. I had done some research and heard this was the spot- so true! I can't speak for food but the outside seating was perfect for chatting and having a cocktail while overlooking the water.

A charming venue for a girls' night or brunch, though the food did not meet expectations. There are other brunch spots in the area that offer a more satisfying overall experience. Food: 1/5 Visually appealing but not flavorful or memorable. The pastries were notably dry and lacked freshness. We didn't finish everything and left hungry. (Note: We ordered 2 other dishes in addition to the ones pictured) Service: 5/5 The staff was sweet and welcoming. They always made sure we had our waters filled and checked in on us. Ambiance: 4/5 If you're looking to take pictures, this place has great views and picturesque decor. It can get windy so I suggest checking the weather before going and dressing accordingly. read more

5star view of the Colorado River to Start! bridges & high rises, and panoramic views! We got the best view in the place' We started with a chef's choice cheese, cocktails so good, El Greco 15, and Ibiza spritzes, the El Greco reminds me of a margarita with some interesting twists , so good! Well about a third of the plate was finished and a thunderstorm suddenly dumped blowing sideways and soaked our drinks a charcuterie plate! They reset us out of the rain comped us on th plate and drinks, so of course we bought more!!! That really blew our minds! They took such good care of us. Thank you! read more

Obsessed with this view and the food was amazing. It was just the two of us so we didn't have a whole party but this is better with a large group or a small party.

The views and set up was really great so I think it could be a great date spot for dinner. However, we went for brunch. The service was great and the food was good but it just was a very light menu with what felt like over priced boujee choices. I got the shrimp and grits and while it was very good, the portion size was pretty small. Overall, I think I'd love to go back for cocktails and dinner but I wouldn't go again for brunch. read more

Cute little place, everything was very fresh & tasty! Loved all the apps especially the cheese board! Very friendly staff

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a round of drinks with friends and I must say the experience itself getting to P6 was an adventure. We went through the hotel and up to the specific floor needed and after finding the proper hallway and entrypoint we were given a beautiful view of the waterline. Decor and service were super nice and I will say this is more of a cocktail spot than trying to grab a few bites. Opted for an old fashioned which was super nice. Make sure to ask for their ingredients as they're super allergen friendly. Make sure to check their hours ahead of time as they open fairly late in the day. read more

I thought P6 was great! The service was good and the vibes are really cute. The cocktails are typically priced for a bar in Austin, and they had some interesting ones on the menu. My only complaint is that I had reserved a table for 10 outside, and when I got there it was inside. They do a great job of expressing on the website that they don't take parties larger than 12, but they didn't say anything about not having room for 10 outside. Frankly, if I had known we'd be inside I would've chosen somewhere else. My intention was for cocktails with a view, not cocktails in a room. Additionally, when I tried to contact them 3 days prior via phone (didn't answer , called 4x) and through OpenTable, about whether they had heaters outside (it was 30° out) they didn't respond until 5 minutes before our reservation. Not that it mattered since we weren't sat outside. read more

The view is certainly a nice touch to P6, and the shade does a pretty considerable job with the heat. The Coconut Gin Cocktail was very refreshing in the 95+ degree heat. The food, however, underwhelming. This spot is more for the view and "cute" chic. As expected, many girl dates and bachelorettes. You can expect many persons taking Instagrammable photos. Would recommend for a pre-dinner happy hour or cocktail. read more

Sarah the hostess at the front is racist and rude! Yes we called as we were running late to our reservation and we requested we be sat anywhere outside and she said there was nothing. We get there and there are plenty of empty tables I again requested we be sat anywhere outside. 2 people after us came without reservation who said they didn't mind sitting inside and she said no sit out and gave them an outside table. While I watched the whole thing Garrett the manager apologized for her but this incompetence is ridiculous! My only take away is that she is racisit coz there can be no other explanation for that read more

Rooftop bars can sometimes be difficult to find but not P6! Located in The Line hotel on S Congress st and E Cesar Chavez in a safe part of town, P6 is a great spot to try at least once. I was lucky as I already had a room there so I was able to "mosey on down" to the bar on my own terms. Please note there is parking under P6, for a fee, under the bar so you're covered there as well. Once I got up to the wait station, having reservations in a choice section, the staff was quick to acknowledge me and with a playful manner have me seated in moments. Yes, I highly recommend making sure you get a table because the view is breath taking, much better than being inside in my opinion. My two top table was against a wall over looking the Colorado river and a good portion of the Congress bridge and street, allowing me to view all the traffic, walkers, bikers who are "enjoying" the hustle and bustle of everyday traffic at 4pm. Moreover, it's very relaxing to see people exercising on the various dirt paths that run adjacent to the river as well as all the water activities such as canoes, kayaks and paddle boarding. Finally, if you're seated around dusk there's a chance to catch "the bats" that come out en masse which can be breathtaking while the sun dips below the horizon. Aside from the extended view, the facility itself is extremely relaxing. Low chairs with cushions snuggle up to coffee tables, high top bar tables, interesting red fabrics hanging from the ceiling, rocking chairs and a slew of other visual and physical comforts challenge those with a bad day to change their tunes. Next, the servers are extremely knowledgeable and willing to walk patrons through the menu. While I didn't partake in dinner, the cocktails are explained thoroughly allowing a well-informed decision on your drinking pleasure. I'm a former chef and my only gripe was I smelled old oil on someone's fried food. Not a show stopper by any means but just a nasal observation that I can't justify by not actually eating the food itself. By the way, I saw a couple snacks patrons ordered and they looked marvelous. Back to the drinks, I had a bourbon and diet so it wasn't exactly eccentric by any means but my girlfriend did have a mixed drink. It looked extravagant with a twirl of orange peel and an olive. She gave a glowing review of it to me and the server as it was his suggestion. Overall, the ambiance is fantastic, second to none. Sometimes a restaurant or bar will rest on what makes them fantastic thus letting other aspects fall by the wayside; not P6. I honestly can't think of anything negative to comment on except pricing a smidge high but all my other expectations were exceeded. I have only the highest praise for the staff, management and all those involved including nature as it was roughly 50 degrees on a crystal clear night; a night that I was able to observe in person and elevated above the chaos at street level. My only regret is not sampling the menu, but alas I had dinner reservations at another destination. P6 is a bucket list destination which can help paint a memory that will last a lifetime. read more

P6 is worth a visit for the stunning views, especially during sunset. So beautiful and romantic. I like the open, airy feel of the rooftop space and appreciated the decor as well. Service was fast and friendly, they even moved us to a spot with a better view once it became available. We ordered two glasses of wine and the patatas bravas from the happy hour menu. These were all delicious. We didn't find too many options we liked on the main menu - definitely more of a snacks and drinks spot vs. an actual meal in my opinion. I plan to go back and try a cocktail next time! read more

We came here and sat outside on the patio. I loved the views. The ambiance was nice. I loved the blankets. However, eating a full meal off of a table the height of a coffee table while sitting on a couch was a little difficult. The food was delicious. I wish they had had more gluten free items and was happy they could accommodate and remove corn bread from the dish I ordered, despite being originally told that there could be no substitutions. I would have appreciated much quicker service; however, everyone was very nice. read more

I have tried to go to P6 a couple times now, and succeeded on the second try. The first time I went was on a weeknight, and it turns out there was an event going on so no one could go in. This second time that I went was also on a weeknight, but we were actually able to get seated pretty quickly. They did ask as soon as I arrived whether or not I had a reservation, and it does seem that you should probably try to make one if you want your selection of where to sit. When we came, they only had tables available on the outdoor patio, and even with the screens down to shield against the sun it was pretty warm. That said, as it got darker and the sun went down, it felt much more comfortable outside. The set up is cute out there, they have low couches with coffee tables, as well as high tables with high chairs, and regular tables. The servers checked in pretty frequently, and they are a QR menu based place. Of note, they initially told me we would only have about an hour and 15 minutes, but the place wasn't too that busy by that time, so they asked us if we would rather move inside since folks had tables outside reserved. We did, and thankfully had the chance to sit inside and enjoy the air conditioning, where there are plenty more tables! When I come again I'll definitely make reservation and choose to sit inside. On to the drinks themselves - really, really good! I had one of the most interesting and lovely takes on a martini here. On the cocktail menu, it's called the "P6 martini," and I was concerned it would be too dry, but it actually wasn't at all because it contains cream so it actually had a very creamy taste with some sweetness, but not too much. I also did try the "Hill country gold" which was fairly strong given the bourbon, but had a solid sweetness behind it because of the pear and honeysuckle. The guy I came with had the "ladybird spritz," which had a very interesting and almost bitter aftertaste to it, but was refreshing initially. We both also got happy hour beers, which are just $4. The cocktails unfortunately are full price whether it's happy hour or not, so just be aware only beer and wine or discounted. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 PM, and the vibes overall are really good! The service was great, and honestly, I liked my drinks so much that I definitely would come back to try other drinks. read more

We came in at 6:00, the hostess took my number and told me the table would be ready by 7:15. We went downstairs and waited bc we were told we could get a text. At 7:25 we went back upstairs and the table was ready without receiving a text. How long would we have waited for the table to be ready? Would we have even received a text and just continued to wait? Although that was frustrating, the food and service were incredible! The beets were the table favorite! Sarah was absolutely incredible as a waitress! Although she was super busy, she was friendly, attentive and had great suggestions! Thank you Sarah! read more

Came in from Denver and enjoyed drinks and charcuterie- beautiful views and friendly knowledgeable staff. We will be back on our next trip.

Food menu was not your typical brunch options. We opted to just got alacart (eggs, avocado and toast) and the fruit plate. Vibes and atmosphere were elite. Great little intimate eating area with a stellar view of the water and city. Appeared to have 1 server for the space. Would go back again to drink and enjoy the view. The bloody was very good.

Was pleasantly surprised despite the fairly poor reviews on P6. Came here for my birthday brunch on a Sunday, and the rooftop was pretty empty due to it being a blistering hot day. Thankfully they have solar screens that you can request to use! I ordered the Little Gem Caesar salad with chicken. The portion was very filing, and wow, the chicken was well seasoned and so so tasty! One of the better Caesar salads I've had! The meal was a tad bit on the pricey side but I was full after eating. I also tasted their Potatoes Bravas and Very Special Toast, both of which were flavorful and fresh. Service was a bit slow and we had to flag down the server a few times, but everyone seemed welcoming and nice despite some reviews saying otherwise. It's also great that they validate valet parking for only $10. Overall I had a pretty decent meal and the views were nice. Will be back! read more

Such a picturesque setting for a drink. It was a tad confusing finding how to get here once in the hotel itself, we were staying at The Line, but we found our way there. Reservations, I think would be mandatory we had made them. Even then, you only get 1.5Hrs to enjoy, before you are shimmed out for the next guests. Which is fine, just know that coming in. We did. Once we were settled, our server came over to take our orders. Affable server who provided us with options available during the HH and asked if we were going to be snacking, etc. We weren't eating, we had reservations to have dinner at the hotel's restaurant Arlo Grey. Just a few drinks and conversation until we heading that way. I will say that the price point was lower then I would of expected. HH 4-6pm $4 Pearl Snaps downtown is an impressive bargain. They have a full bar/wine available as well as house Cocktails. Although we didn't order munchies, There was a rather active group of ladies who had ordered the cheese and charcuterie plates and hummus. If you were to eat with your eyes, then these looked splendid. They offer brunch at here if case you are so inclined. Service was a tad spotty, but the manager/chef? did come around and pick up the slack when they got a tad busy. It's the industry these days. We didn't pine to long waiting on our drink refills and such. Ambiance, well the cool prayer flags hanging from the rafters were all out of prayers I fear. Very well worn indeed. Shame really, since I'm sure they are brilliant in the sun when they were first installed. There is a really cozy whicker furniture vibe going on here. Summery, light, airy feel with the decor belonging in Nantucket. Never been, but I could see how Martha Stewart would give it two thumbs up. There is a indoor area with AC, if that is your jam. Make that reso tho. read more
