Girls Night Out in Austin

Before you even think of going out, make an appointment at this girly nail salon to get your fingers and toes pre-party polished, either at the north central Austin or Westlake Hills locations. Pink walls, chandlers and warm neck wraps surround patrons with girly charm. And nice touches include a glass of wine and chick flicks playing on the flat screens.

Come in on select Tuesday evenings when this downtown Austin cinema presents Girlie Night. Enjoy chick flicks such as "Pretty in Pink," "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Thelma & Louise." Gather the girls for this girls-only event that happens twice monthly.

Why not have a girls night out during the day? Nothing could make you and the gang feel more ladylike than sipping tea in the afternoon at this downtown Austin icon on the shores of Lady Bird Lake. White table clothes and flowers adorn the tables filled with tea sandwiches and petit fours.

Sip Champagne with the ladies at this Second Street District staple. Thursdays mark Cru's Girls Night Out when all Champagne is 50 percent off by the bottle all night long. And the bar is cleverly situated amongst the city?s best boutiques. Champagne and shopping just might be the perfect girls night out in Austin.

The ever lovely Emily Fleming-Nash, an original Austinite, built this enticing bar in Cherrywood. The outside is outfitted with Adirondack chairs encircling a fire pit--perfect for gossiping with the girls. The candle-lit inside boasts an antique bar and lounge adorned with petite French cocktail tables. Be sure to dab yourself with the perfumed oils displayed on the bathroom vanity.
