About this venue

Editor's Take: Zanzibar is an urban oasis that transports you straight to the islands. With its vibrant tropical decor and stunning views of Lady Bird Lake and the skyline, it's the ultimate destination for sophisticated poolside drinking. Their jerk-spiced snacks and tiki-adjacent cocktails make for a high-energy happy hour experience unlike any other in Austin.
