Stephen F's Bar & Terrace

Excellent service excellent drinks, and the coup de gras is the ability to smoke cigars on the terrace second floor overlooking Congress and 7th. Outdoor space heaters are very helpful, and the beautiful oak tree in front completes the pleasant ambiance. (If you appreciate good travel and cooking videos please visit cuisineQuest on youtube!)

Drinks were strong and we could take them into the theatre! Gorgeous venue and you can easily see the stage from any seat. Stairs are steep and chairs are small but we didn't mind! This theatre is a historic must-see while in Austin!

Great handcrafted cocktails by the bartender. Knowledgeable and very friendly. As a Hilton Diamond member I will be staying here on my next visit to Austin because the fantastic bar. 5 star and top shelf quality and service. Salud.

Great ambiance and views from the terrace. Bartender knows how to concoct a proper cocktail and is quite personable. Highly recommend the Desert Rose and the Austin Mule; both had an interesting twist.

I loved this location. Its not too busy, drinks were good and the bartenders were very nice. I recommend you sit on the patio, which is located just above the street level where you will have a nice view of Congress Ave and the Capital just down the road. If you decide to sit inside, you will get a nice, quiet atmosphere perfect for those looking to relax with friends and have a few drinks.

I’m so shocked and upset with myself for not finding the gem sooner! I’ve even stayed in the hotel and never knew it was there. Literally a cigar and cocktail perfect gem of a spot the service was OUTSTANDING and personal. They put the details and personal touch in their service and cocktails!!!!

Probably the best part of Intercontinental Austin. Weather was perfect during our stay, so we spent a lot of time here.

Amazing staff and a superb selection of fine whiskey. Whether you are visiting or live in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by.

Beer was $6 a pint for local beer. Feel like that's fairly priced in downtown Austin. Drinks were around $12. Love the history or the old building with beautiful updated decor in the bar. Light fixtures give it a nice ambiance. Enjoyed myself here and would recommend it.

Love this place! When in Austin, stop by. They have cigars for purchase and a terrace to sit outside and enjoy them. Great service and talented mixologists.
On the second floor of the historic Intercontinental, this is a definite recommend!

There for an event, and I must say, EXQUISITE! Everything from the exterior of the building to the interior is finely detailed, creating a historic, yet modern ambiance. The staff is very friendly, and were very accommodating to our needs. I loved every bit of my visit... and will definitely go back again soon

I really enjoyed this bar & restaurant. You can have a drink or an appetizer and even smoke a cigar on their outdoor patio, which is convenient. I highly recommend this place to you if you're in downtown Austin.

Erik Puryear has given the Stephen F Austin Bar new life with his incredible knowledge of mixed drinks... The passion he has for delivering satisfaction in a glass goes without words.

Wonderful quiet place to have a drink. Martini was great, they asked if you want it shaken or stirred.

Great place to relax and have a drink

Donnell, Julie, Kevin, and Lupe made our social distanced engagement party amazing. I appreciate all the effort taken. It was perfect.

Nice place for a drink and app before catching a show at the Paramount next door. Been here several times, good service and great drinks.

Great views and cocktails

Love It

This was a very nice place to catch up with a colleague during our seminar.
