Editorial Review for Stephen F's – by Seth Sherwood

In Short
The sophisticated second-floor lounge attracts both savvy visitors and locals. This hotel bar has that classic upscale Texas look: dark wood, a marble-topped bar, leather chairs and a smattering of Lone Star State memorabilia (including a huge mounted steer's head) and cowboy art. Hotel guests--mostly businessmen and couples in their 40s and 50s--chat alongside boisterous tables of upscale Austinites and dolled-up 20-something debutantes who sip from the long list of ports, sherry, cognacs and tequilas.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

The most pleasant tables are outside, on the wraparound terrace overlooking Congress Avenue.

The Extras

If you haven't abandoned the cigar fad, you'll find an impressive array of fancy smokeables in an even fancier display case. Don't miss the macho brand names like the "Hemingway Signature," "Prince Philip" and "Bully."

I enjoyed drinks on the patio at Stephen F's on a Saturday evening with just one other person. It was super busy, great place to go if you like people watching. Drinks are average, they ran out of bombay sapphire...the atrosity! it was lovely watching the cars and weirdos go by on Congress!

Pros: location baby!

Cons: running out of bombay sapphire

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I had the best date ever in Austin and it ended at Stephen F's. It was the perfect place to wrap up the perfect date. This is a really special place.
