Reviews for Zanzibar in Austin, TX
Zanzibar is this really unique place that's able to take you away from Austin for like an hour or two. It has a really cool and... unique decor of tropical plants. Service was really really good. Our server was Lowell and he was very personable and nice. Foodwas amazing! We got the sliders, burgers, and chicken wings. Wow, it was a home run on the food. Drinks were really good aswell, a bit on the pricey side. Highly recommend this place! Read more
Very easy to find if you read the signage, this place is an oasis in Austin. You walk out of the elevators onto the roof of the... Austin Marriott Downtown where it's covered in palms creating a relaxing sensation as soon as you step out. With misters allover the place and fans to keep you cool even though it's 100°F outside. I won't try to butter it up too much, the drink menuis lacking; but, you don't come here for a craft cocktail. You come here for a frozen drinks, a wonderful view, and goodservice. Taylor was my bartender and she nailed it making sure as soon as I got there a drink was in hand and I was notparched. Overall I recommend you stop in for a drink because you won't beat the view or the oasis vibes! Read more
Not super sure how to rate it since I waited at the bar for 30 minutes to order a drink and ended up leaving without service and... the line never moving. Not sure how anyone up there actually got a drink. Very cool atmosphere with the pool. Everyone seemedlike they were having a good time. Cool vibes. Read more
Really cool place for an after work cocktail - definitely make reservations for more than 3 people. Their tiki drinks are high... quality and their sushi and apps were super flavorful. Great place for elevated snacks and one good cocktail. It is definitely alittle pricier than some of the bars in this area, but I?d say you get what you pay for here. My one complaint was that thehigh top chairs were really uncomfortable and hard to move around in, but there were a lot of different seating options if we?dhad made a reservation. Our team will definitely be going back! Read more
Amazing atmosphere with gorgeous rooftop views. The signature cocktails were priced per the area and atmosphere at $15. The... presentation was very nice but most tasted like fruit juices. We just grabbed drinks in the outdoor patio area by the bar. Wenever saw our server after he dropped off two drinks and had to chase some down at the bar to close out - the service could haveimproved during our experience. Some of the other servers seemed nice and were giving out local recommendations to otherpatrons. Read more
I love the Zanzibar! All of the cocktails are good and the food is delicious as well. I had the Pulled Pork Sliders off the... ZANZIBAR BITES DAY menu and it was awesome. I also saw someone order chicken wings and those looked great too. They also make atasty margarita ????. Read more
This is such a beautiful establishment. The decorations are a great vibe and the music was great. Very clean and a nice... atmosphere for a date, drinks with friends, or celebrating. We were served with the most professional, hospitable, courteousserver. Devin is the epitome of a knowledgeable, consistent, and engaged waitress and made my night absolutely amazing. Thevenue is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The tropical themed drinks paired extremely well with the food. I willdefinitely come back to enjoy this experience like no other. Read more
I?ve been hearing of this place for a while and I?ve never made my way out until this last Sunday and it was a great... experience. Right from the start with the elevator up it was a cool experience. We were seated right away and were given a seatwith an amazing view of the city and sunset. The menu was mostly smaller like appetizer dishes, but they also had a burgerwhich my girlfriend and I both recommend. It was still on the lighter side so I would recommend getting the ?big kahuna?. As forsides they only had some time of chips. The menu overall was pretty limited, but I understand it?s Zanzi?bar? and more focusedon the drink experience. As for service, it was excellent. John Paul was our server and made the experience that muchbetter. Overall great place, but not the spot if looking for a full service meal. Read more
