About Zanzibar
Seven storeys above Cesar Chavez Street, the Austin Marriott Downtown hides a jungle-planted terrace: a teal-tiled bar with palm-print wallpaper, turf underfoot, gas torches and a red-lit lounge that glows after dark. Cocktails are modern tiki, many served in ceramic cactus mugs topped with orchids, and the kitchen matches them with island-inspired small plates such as wings, skewers and fried bites for the table. A pool sits on the same level. It opens at noon every day and runs until midnight, ten on Sundays, and the bar is busiest from Thursday into the weekend. Music stays in the background at lounge-house volume. With close to 8,800 Google reviews at 4.8, it is one of the most-reviewed rooftops in the city, and recent reviews single out individual bartenders for mixing to taste and passing on local tips. Dress is casual chic; spending sits in the mid range.
