Fishbowl Cocktails, a Two-Story Slide & Live Fish Tanks

Our signature fishbowl cocktails are the reason people travel across Austin to find us — oversized, sharable drinks built for a group of four or more, served with enough straws for everyone. The full bar pours craft cocktails, Texas craft beer, wine, and every shot you could ask for on 6th Street. And yes — the slide is real, it’s two stories, and it’s open all night.

Our live fish tanks run floor to ceiling along the main bar and second-floor lounge, giving the space its name and its unmistakable aesthetic. It’s the rare downtown Austin bar that’s as fun to look at as it is to drink in.
